This week was like any other except a hurricane was heading toward Florida and we really weren't sure how bad it would affect Orlando. Either way I failed to adequately prepare but luckily we only had some heavy rain and the winds felt like I was sitting on a beachfront property. Unfortunately other areas in FL weren't so lucky and I'm just catching up on the news myself.
Since my blogging has been few and far between these days, I figured a recap of August happenings was due. Still can't believe we're already in September!
At the beginning of August I had some relaxing weekends after returning home from a family trip to Montego Bay for my cousin's wedding.
We still found time to go out to celebrate some special occasions ~ baby's 1st birthday, dinner & drinks for my girl friends birthday, and K's fantasy football draft party.
And of course being home meant lots of time spent with my love bug Lola. Her 2nd birthday is this weekend so we're spoiling her rotten tonight with some doggie treats and a new bed.
My family reunion picnic that happens every 5 years was at the end of August so I made my way up to Toronto for a quick weekend trip.
With all the different family events scheduled for that weekend, I only had Sunday to explore/shop/do whatever I want so my sister, cousin, and I went to the Distillery District downtown Toronto to walk through the market and check out some cute boutique shops. The weather was perfect and a nice break from the sauna heat in Florida.
And of course, I made sure to get some Tim Hortons coffee and snacks which is a must (for me) when in Canada!
When it comes to shopping, the only thing I fell victim to was this MAC Look in a Box Lip & Eye Kit. They have a few different color combos good for different skin tones but I went with the more neutral nude pink set plus I've had that mascara before and it's amazing!
That's a wrap for August! I have some fun things lined up for this month so I can't wait to share.
Enjoy the long weekend and be safe my friends!
Looks like a fun August! I can't believe it's already September...this year has flown by so fast. Hope you have a great weekend!
