This weekend was pretty relaxed with some volunteering :)
Friday - I had dinner with my family and just chilled at home. We had some tea and walked around a bit. Pretty low key! There might be more, but that's all I really remember... I think I worked on my bujo for a bit though!
Saturday - Not much went on this day either. We played games and then I went out to the new LDXpress downtown and bought a bunch of Kettle brand chips that were on sale. NYX makeup is currently 20% off until the 28th, so I decided to get a brow gel in Espresso. I think I might get more NYX makeup this week... We also went to Via Cibo for a cheaper dinner date out. Yumm!
Sunday - We volunteered for Make A Wish at a Hollywood style party for a wish recipient. We filmed the event and I covered the audio portion. I hope she had an awesome time! Afterwards, we decided to head to the university to grab some subs as a nostalgia date night... the sub I had was okay... I got the spolumbo chicken apple sausage, but it wasn't as great as the other subs I would usually get. Discovered there is a Carls Jr. now too... oh my how it's grown since our student days there. We then did some grocery shopping and then called it a day.
So yeah, very low-key weekends so far, but I don't mind staying in and playing games... especially when it's so HOT outside.
I'm so thankful for air conditioning...

BBQ + New Hair Colour
It was quite the weekend!
On Friday evening we had a BBQ event with friends to celebrate our friend's birthday. We rent out our lounge and had some food and played games all night long until 2am.
Saturday was a bit more low-key, I went to my hair stylist and got a colour change. I now have Medium Ash Brown hair, but it some lighting it looks like a dirty blond, kinda cool how multicoloured it can be! It took about 4.5 hours out of my day, and after commuting home, I was super famished as I didn't eat lunch before. We went to Shiraz for some Persian cuisine, but it was too salty for me.. :( The first few bites were so delicious though, but the salt really got to me.
Sunday was a quiet day as well. We went to my parents' to have lunch for Father's Day, then we went to Costco and then we just chilled at home. We were exhausted from the weekend.
So I pretty much have my site all done and all, but I need to add a bit more to it. Working on trying to secure some new clients right now... and also on some more YouTube and blog ideas. I see a lot of clothing and makeup hauls in the near future!

Low-key
We had a low-key weekend this past weekend because it was raining for two days!
I didn't do too many things before the weekend, just chilled at home. I had a headache on Thursday after coming home from work, and so I tok a small nap and then we went to get pizza from Blaze Pizza. It was POURING outside, and by the parking lot there was a huge water pit. Then we headed to Safeway to buy some breakfast foods and chips. It was spitting at that time and then after we got outside it started pouring again.
On Friday I felt much better but I felt irritation in my throat. I thought it might have been because I ate too many fried foods that week for breakfast (haven't been waking up early enough to eat/pack breakfast at home :( I gotta improve on that!) and it shortly went away. We ate dinner with my family and played with Tofu for a bit and headed home.
On Saturday a friend came over for a bit and we played a boardgame, I think it was called Thieves Market? After playing, our friend went home and then we headed to the mall. I wanted to get a few things from Suzy Shier, but unfortunately my sizes weren't available and the items didn't look as good as they did online... haha, so I didn't get anything from there, but I got a few items from H&M. H&M clothing are always a hit or miss for me because of the sizing. It'll say the size is this, but then it doesn't fit, or it's too big.... it's not very standardized like other clothing brands, and I'm the kind of person who doesn't like trying things on in the store (taking too long)... which is why I love return policies. I got a cardigan, overalls and a spaghetti strap dress for layering. The dress is kind of big at the bottom, but it fits my waist perfectly, and I'm still trying to figure out the overalls. The cardigan might be too big? But I have to try it on with no sleeves... After shopping, we went to Mari bakeshop for some tea and choux pastries. Sooo good! I really enjoyed my English Rose tea. We then made pasta for dinner.
Sunday was gardening day. Before we tended to our plots, we went to grab coffee at Starbucks and then I bought some chapstick. We then discovered our garden plot was overflown by spearmint... so we spent a good two hours digging out all the roots and plating our dill and radish seeds. :) They should be good to harvest in about a week or so, so we're really excited! It was getting late and I felt an irritated throat again, so I wanted soup. We went to Korean Village for some soup, side dishes and rice, and my throat felt a bit better.
This week is going to be a packed one. Tonight I have dinner + editing, then tomorrow we have to film, and on Wednesday I have a fam night with work at a restaurant. Thursday might be a boardgame night/might be hanging out with my friend and then Friday we're going to a BBQ. Saturday is looking free right now, and Sunday is Father's Day :)
I've lost motivation to work on my website and other projects. I think it's this summer feeling. The weather has been so nice lately that all I want to do is go out and enjoy the sun and have fun with friends... but I got to think of what my goals are too. After dinner on Wednesday I'll try to do a little bit!

Summer Fun
I didn't blog much last week because I was taking it easy! :)
On Thursday night I went out for some ramen with my friend at Goro + Gun. The ramen was good, but not the best I've had. I quite enjoyed our little girls night though. We chatted lots about life, boyfriends, things we're doing to stay fun, etc.. I love catching up with friends :)
On Friday night we took Tofu out to the park and had dinner with my family. We didn't go out after except to buy groceries and just chilled at home. Saturday was packed with a lot of activities. I went to see a choir performance with my friend in the afternoon, then went for YYC Burger Battle at Hayden Block for dinner with another friend and the boyfriend, and then we went to Scrollio for icecream with another friend and finished the day with some Waves Coffee.
Yesterday we went to the Lilac Festival and I took a long nap afterwards. It was a relaxing and eventful weekend. :) Now I just got to think about making plans for the weekdays this week... hmmm.
I also worked on my blog yesterday. Need to take some product photos and then I will be ready to post that. :) Will probably draft another post on another product later on. I also have a bunch of books to read that I got from the library for my e-book reader. I'm having some difficulty transferring them over for some reason... so it looks like I'll have to read them on my computer for a bit... summer reading, goooo! :)
