Friday Roundup: November 24

Happy Thanksgiving my American friends! We celebrated this holiday in October, but with the amount of delicious food in my face all over social media and the web, I want another day! Like turkey nachos! Ravioli with leftover stuffing! I wanted to include so many recipes in today’s Friday Roundup, but opted for a couple. I feel these could be made for the holidays and all winter really.

It felt like the longest week ever, each day more dreary than the last. I was lucky to be invited to three events this week. A launch breakfast for R&Co Hair, Moissonnier furniture launch and McArthur Glen’s Sparkle Brighter Holiday event! Fun times plus I met Howard McLaren from R&Co!

If you are in Vancouver, check out the Black Friday sales at McArthur Glen YVR. You can score some great holiday gifts and eat some good food while shopping! And there is a Lindt store! A Lindt store people!

I’m going to my sister’s tonight to watch Gilmore Girls on Netflix! Pizza, wine and Gilmore Girls, sounds fantastic. Then I will be working out with Mich (Booty by Mich) Saturday morning, shooting a couple recipes, maybe catching a film. A blogging friend set up a blogger’s holiday brunch downtown for Sunday. Which reminds me, I need to get a secret santa gift!

What are your plans? Are you ready for the holiday season? I’m sorry I didn’t post more this week, I had the whole week planned out and then life got in the way…

If you are like me and love to shop online instead of in person with those crowds, check out BeautyCounter! BeautyCounter is having some great makeup sales! You can get a free sheer lipstick like below with a purchase of $150. I’ve been eyeing a few holiday gift sets myself, like the lipstick sets.

P.S. Don’t forget to subscribe to the newsletter! I have a couple giveaways this holiday season and a freebie you don’t want to miss.
