Follow my blog with bloglovin– You know you want to :rainbow:
I know it’s been a little while since my last entry- I assure you I am not dead yet :weird: ! Over the past few months I fell into a rut that I am slowly climbing out of. I understand that some things just take time.

I have recently signed up for a ladies’ fitness boot camp. According to their website, Booty Camp Fitness boasts results that are:

  • Up to 16 lbs weight reduction
  • 1 – 6 inches reduced in your thighs, midsection, and arms
  • A boost in your immune system, and a decrease in sick days
  • 25 – 100% increase in strength and stamina
  • An energized yet relaxed feeling…

Of course, realistically speaking, results will be different for everyone. I’ll just be happy to be up, active, and out of the house– & Who knows? Maybe I’ll even make a few new friends!

Each session is an hour long, which combines circuit training, hand-to-hand cardio combat (no contact), core strengthening, body sculpting, & yoga. Prices can vary to $299 CAN for an 8 week package, or $159 CAN for a 4 week package. I decided on a 4 week package to start out. Wish me lots of luck ^_^ . I will definitely update if there are any results.
If you are interested in joining, find a location closest to you!
Note:This particular camp is only available in Ontario, BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, Canada.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter :) ! I pretty much went wild and either called or texted all of my friends from America while we were on our way to my mother inlaw’s house for dinner. Matt’s family does some amazing things with sweet potatoes. Someday I’ll have to get around to asking for a recipe or two, although my cooking is absolutely horrible  :weird: !

Lately I have been feeling creative. I felt inspired by this lady’s idea to take an ordinary pot and sponge a bit of paint onto it using a stencil. Of course mine didn’t turn out as well… but the sloppiness adds a little something, I think! There is always more room for improvement.

Flower Pot

I used little Easter egg ornaments that I found at Micheal’s to decorate the little roses. Yes, that is a surround sound speaker behind the flower pot. Yes, that is a plush poo. And yes, the flower pot is ontop of a subwoofer – probably not the best place for it T_T .

Happy Easter!

I’m pretty stoked. The Carnival glass fruit bowls that belonged to my great grandmother came in the mail all in one piece. Now I can finally relax. I’m always a bit nervous when fragile things are shipped, especially antique heirlooms! I think it makes for a lovely Easter display. The bowls remind me of tulips.

I logged on to tumblr today to see that 13 people left a “note” on that old picture post of mine. I nearly always have to explain my ethnicity whenever someone makes a comment about my eyes. I don’t mind. I kind of am left with this warm and fuzzy feeling :love: !

Today we went to the flea market. I am not ashamed! I am an eccentric old woman! This is what I found:

Jewelry Box

I really like the ornate carvings on the jewelry box. It’s not too feminine. I’m sure Matt can find use for it for his cards! The vintage necklace was only $9.00 CAN. Two of my favourite things – pearls and cameos.

Valentines

My Valentine’s Day this year was wonderful :love: ! I received a heart shaped box filled my favourite sweets – marzipan, a gorgeous 3 carat diamond ring from my husband, and a sweet little card from my dear friend, Sven. Even the dogs got some gourmet treats!
