Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!
1. Just in case you ever wondered what my hair looks like after hanging out under my toque (read: beanie) and helmet after a day of snowboarding… Voila!
I know, I know… you don’t have to tell me. Ridiculously, ridiculously good looking (name that movie!)
2. Actually, I probably should go in and get my hair professionally tamed soon. I’m long overdue for a trim, and my bangs are getting a teensy bit long…
3. Then again, I’ve been thinking about growing them out, and I usually cut my own bangs anyways so I don’t know what I’m going on about in #2. Bear with me. I’m running on minimal sleep.
4. In other news, can we talk about the injustice that is coming home tired after a long day, deciding to use the elevator because you just can’t fathom the idea of running up the stairs in your current state, and being blasted in the face with the delicious smell of hot, cheesy pizza as soon as the doors slide open? Tor.ture. This is why I almost always take the stairs.
5. Speaking of stairs, who needs a gym stocked with fancy stairmasters when you live in a very tall condo…
Welcome to where I sometimes work out. And what I mean by that is where I sometimes come to get my blood moving when I feel like I’ve been sitting and working for way too long. I keep going back and forth on the idea of joining a gym, and the fact that I have a perfectly usable gym and a whole lot of stairs in my building is making that decision a lot harder… especially now that the weather is improving and I’ll be able to get outside more. Gah!
6. So I finished reading Big Little Lies, and I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a book that’ll make you lose sleep because you just can’t wait to find out what happens next — it’s a whodunnit done right, with just the perfect balance of humour and seriousness. Moriarity has such a clever way of writing, and she weaves her stories in a way that’ll leave you guessing until the very end. Loved it. But now I have no idea what to read next.
7. Actually, I probably won’t have as much time to read since I’ll [hopefully] be spending more time colouring. I love colouring as a way to relax, and I’ve wanted a more “grown up” book for a while now, so I ordered this Enchanted Forest one off Amazon. Now to wait for it to actually get here…

8. And I feel like I haven’t posted a recipe in forever… which is probably because I haven’t. BUT! I do have one coming up for you tomorrow, and it involves these sweet little guys right here…
Happy Thursday, friendly faces!

Lol. I just got one of the coloring books too.. It’s a different one though.. Yikes that is one tall building!!!! I couldn’t imagine going up all those stairs…
My hair also needs tamed… luckily that is happening Tuesday. It’s been FIVE MONTHS.
Um, your hair still looks pretty great to me! You should see my hair after a workout. Even with a headband, my flyaways are the wildest things ever.
I also walk up and down the stairs for study breaks when I’m studying on the top floor of a building. Does the trick!
Ahh yes! Coloring for stress relief
I decided to struggle through the site freezing problems to comment solely on the Zoolander reference. BLUE STEEL!
Aww thanks, love! Is it still doing it to you?
I have no idea why…
Wow, that’s a lot of stairs! And I can’t wait for the date recipe!
Ummm, I’d rather my hair look like that after I’ve been wearing a toque all day! Mine just looks like straight stuck to my head.
Also, I love that adult colouring books are a thing. Now I want one…
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your hair. You are the third person this week that has mentioned having an adult coloring book. I think its a sign and must order now!
So happy to have found you and connect!
Ahh this reminds me how much I’ve been dying to order an adult coloring book! I must get on that right away. And that novel sounds like the next thing I need to add to my reading list!
Love your hair in that first picture – trust me, I love my hats, but my hair has/will never look that good when they come off
And coloring … I was just reading an article recently about how coloring is so good for stress relief and that adult coloring books were becoming “a thing” so you’re ahead of the game! Can’t wait for your new recipe tomorrow! Always good stuff!
Your hair is hotttttt. I really need to get my hair did though. It’s been like 6 months. I did schedule an appointment before Blend Retreat though!!
Thanks for the link-up lady! Even though I haven’t linked for…months..
Lol no worries — it’s always here
And how excited are you for Blenddddd!!
I have read The Husband’s Secret and What Alice Forgot- loved them both! I am on the list for Big Little Lies. That “Grown-up Coloring Book” looks awesome!!!
Those stairs! I love doing stairs
Best workout ever! xoxo, ganeeban
Geez! How many floors is your condo complex? No need for a gym pass with that!
I cannot wait until my niece can color because that’ll be hours of bliss for me. Lol! And nice Zoolander reference! It has been far, far too long since I have seen the movie! I was wondering if you have a website you use for cheap flights and how you afford to fly so much! I really want to fly somewhere, but holy moly flights are expensive!
I actually only fly a few times a year — all my mountain trips are road trips
But I’ve heard that Google Flights is a good way to find cheaper tickets. I’ve never used it myself, though.
I am loving the adult coloring books. I just got one from amazon a couple weeks ago. Though i was sad that Secret Garden was sold out then. I will have to check when it is back in stock but first i need some new color pencils. I have some hello kitty crayons but have found they are hard to use for the smaller spaces on the coloring page.
The Secret Garden was sold out when I looked, too. As was Enchanted Forest
But I guess that means they must be good!
Yesssss dates. I can’t wait!
There is a pizza place in the lobby of my building so it just always smells like pizza. I’ve learned that it’s not particularly good pizza though so I’m not tempted to eat it all the time haha.
Yay a date recipe! my favourite!
I love colouring in and find it so peaceful – you have actually reminded me to go and hunt out my book and crayons… Yes I use crayons… It’s what the cool kids use!
I have crayons too… I like how they smell
Snowboarding! I’m determined to learn snowboarding next year for the season.
I may be a tad bit biased, but I say DOOOO EEEEEET!
Now that’s a lot of stairs! But – really, who needs a gym when you walk up that many flights several times a day! I work in a building with 10 flours and walk up and down when I feel the need!
