Ummmm how did we get to another Friday so quickly? I literally feel as if I am having deja-vu with writing up today’s Friday Roundup. I feel as if I just did it yesterday…

Tacos and Coconut Mint Margarita at Tacofino!

It’s been one of those weeks. The one where I got a new pillow and it took me allllll week to break it in. So tonight I expect to have a full night’s sleep finally after five days. (insert eye roll here) The weather also went a little sour mid-week with rain, and I’m not talking about a little sprinkle. It was more of a monsoon!

Last weekend I went to a few events, first with a brunch tasting at Rocky Mountain Flatbread. Celebrated Wildtale’s 2 year anniversary and had a nap with Casper. Next stop on their nap tour is Montreal. If you are in one of their cities on tour, stop by!

I did attend an event this Tuesday, it was a patio party for Homer Street Café. We sampled their new happy hour  menu and drank delicious gin and tonics! I have been an avid customer at the café, I love their food and atmosphere. The roast chicken is delish!

This weekend I will be at Italian Day on Commercial Drive (in Vancouver). I’ll be working with Car2Go so if you are going and see me, say hi! I’ll most likely be eating cannoli’s 🙂

Smores Ice Cream from Mister Ice Cream in Yaletown

At the moment, I’m currently debating what to do with my hair tomorrow. I’m getting a cut and colour and can’t decide what cut. My ends definitely need to be properly trimmed and my roots need to be covered, but that’s literally it. Should I go for a lob? Beach waves? HELP!

And I’ll be busy working on content for the blog this weekend. I have a few collabs to share and a whack load of other fun posts. Wedding, makeup, skin care, some personal reflections, bits about me and more! Also some travel trips and finally my euro guides! I know, I know, it took me so long to getting around to those.

Also have to sort out what to film next! Let me know what you want to see?
