Good morning my friends and happy Friday!
I hope that your week went well. I am glad that we are starting to get some warm weather here and warm weather makes me happy! Everything is easier, less pieces of clothing, no boots, no snow to shovel, no feeling the cold in your bones.
I am so sorry I haven`t written in these past couple weeks, but life has been pretty crazy lately. We have been on a mini vacation to Montreal, Canada from April 19th to the 22nd , when we came back I had so much to do at home that I didn`t even know where to start (I am still trying to organize the closets for everyone in the family, with the clothes for the warmer season and as you know, it is a long process! I haven`t even started with mine). Then exactly one week ago, our dog Platone started not feeling very well and last Friday we had to take him to the emergency room. He is feeling a little better now, but he has a problem on his spine that involves his ability to walk. He is under antinflammatories and pain medications now and he is improving a little, but it breaks my heart to see him sleeping all day and not being able to get up from his bed and come to the door when we come in. Today he is feeling better, he came to see me when I walked in and he even tried to steal some food from the table (I was so happy to see that!!). We will have to check how he does these weeks, then I will talk to his vet and we will decide if he needs to have a surgery or if we can wait. I just hope he feels better soon, as I already told you, he is my first baby (we got him before we had kids)and I worry a lot when he is not feeling well and he is not acting like the super active, crazy dog that we know!
I have some nice pictures that I took in Montreal and I want to prepare a post with those and the details about our trip, but you will have to be patient because I have to import them on the computer and since I have a new camera, I still have to figure out how to do that!
But let`s get started and let`s talk about the favorites of these past weeks.
1-TV SERIES: THE FOSTERS
I am trying to find new tv series to watch and one day I was checking Netflix with my husband and as I went through the list of tv series that I wanted to watch, I saw `The Fosters`, so we decided to give it a try and immediately loved it! It talks about the life of a gay couple with teenager kids. They have five kids in total: one is the biological son of one of the ladies, two are twins and were adopted when they were little and two are foster kids. We like it because it touches so many interesting themes and it always gives us a chance to talk about important things, like adoption, fostering, gay marriage, teenagers, school, twins, life in general with kids. I really encourage you to try to watch the first episode.
2-NIVEA SKIN FIRMING AND TONING GEL ($ 8.00)
I recently started using this gel, because, you know, Summer is not far away and even though I am not sure if it is working, I want to try everything I can to get in good shape! I usually use this cream every morning and night, I like it because it is pretty cheap, it is a gel, so it absorbs very fast and it is perfect for Summer because it is very light and not too greasy. I want to try different brands of anti cellulite creams/gels too, I will let you know how it goes and which ones I liked!
3-PALMER COCONUT OIL BODY LOTION ($ 7.50)
I recently bought this body lotion because I love the Palmer`s smell, but I found out that they make a more natural version of the body cream that I knew, so I wanted to give this a try and I have to say that I like it. I like the smell of course and the texture and the fact that it is a little more natural! It might be a little too heavy for Summer, but right now I am enjoying it. I have to say that even when body creams are very greasy it doesn`t bother me!
4-POPPY CHOKER NECKLACE $ 48.00
I got this necklace a month ago because I saw it on a lady that I follow on Instagram and I finally decided that I needed to have it! I really, really like it and I wear it almost every day. I like it because it is very short so I can wear it by itself or layered with my favorite longer necklaces. It is yellow gold and it is handmade by a very talented lady. She is on Instagram too as madebymary and her website is www.madebymary.com. She makes all kinds of very cute necklaces, you should take a look at her website!
5-TRULY MADLY DEEPLY BABYDOLL T SHIRT, URBAN OUTFITTERS $ 34.00:
I think I already talked to you about this tshirt, it was probably on my wish list. Well, I decided to buy one and see how it was and I really really loved it! I liked it so much that I bought it in three colors (grey, pink and white). I like it because it is not tight and it has a peplum that covers your belly, so I don`t have to suck it in all the time (ahahah, moms problems!). I usually don`t love v necks, but I think it looks nice on this t shirt, the only thing is that it is a little deep for me, so right now I am wearing the t shirt with a tank underneath since it is not too warm, but when Summer comes I am planning on wearing these with a bralette underneath, so the v neck will not be too deep!
And this is it for today my friends. I hope you enjoyed reading my updates today and hopefully I will be able to start writing constantly again.
Have a great weekend!
