Quinoa

Part of changing into a healthy lifestyle, meant changing what I eat. Instead of rice, I use Quinoa, it is super delicious! I suggest you all try it, you can find it in your organic section in your local grocery store.

These soaps are AMAZING! My girlfriend gave me the one with the cupcake on it, and not only is it great for my hands since I wash them alot with baking, but it leaves them smelling delightful! These can be purchased at Facade in Hudson!

Roxy Woven Backpack

How cute is this backpack? I am in love with it! Since I travel to friends cottages quite often in the summer time, I think this would be perfect for carrying my necessities! I saw that it isn't available to purchase at the Roxy Store online, but I will be on the hunt to buy this soon! love love love!

Cheers!

The Help

This is an incredible movie, I think everyone should watch it! It's a great story, and literally made me cry about 5 times! My mom just finished the book, and although I'm doing it backwards, I'm totally going to read it!

Cupcake Cookie Jar

How cute are these? My amazing mum gave these cookie jars for Christmas two years in a row! The first one I broke the lid (sad morning),  I keep the bottom to store stuff in my cupboard! The other one I use to store various kitchen items on my counter (note pad, pens, David’s Tea bags etc.) These can be purchased at pier1.com .

Rubber Rain Boots


If you're a dog walker like myself, you know that spring time is the worst!! With all the water, mud, garbage & defrosted dog poo (gross), rubber boots are key! I originally wanted a pair of Hunter or MK, but after seeing these Aldo ones for $30 with shipping and taxes, I couldn't pass up the offer! (they're actually even cheaper than this now, so hurry!) I'll only really be wearing them for dog walking & drunken St-Pattie day street wandering after all! The great part, is they come with a removable sock to keep your feet warm! These can be purchased at Aldo online, but I recommend you get a size bigger than normal, as normally I'm an 8 1/2 -9 and I got a 10 and they're still snug! They come in black (which i got), hunter green and these cute grey ones!

The Color Purple

No Crystale, (if you're reading this) not the movie (haha), the actual color purple. I'm totally in love with all shades of purple, particularly Lilac! This Wilton icing coloring in "Violet" is amazing for achieving all the wonderful shades of this gorgeous color! You can purchase this color at your local Bulk Barn Store.

SEMK Cupcake Speakers

How cute are these? Unfortunately I cannot find a place to purchase them in Canada or the US, but I found them online and they're so adorable! Fun for laying out in the sun in the park, studying, and of course, baking in the kitchen!

Lana Del Ray; Born to Die

My buddy at work introduced me to Lana Del Ray sometime last year, it's only recently that I started listening to the entire Album. Love her!

Most of you will recognize her song "Video Games" from the radio, it's definitely one of my favorites off the album. You can purchase this album off Itunes or HMV.

EOS LipBalm

Evolution of Smooth makes these amazing lipbalms. They sell multiple flavors, and they ALL sound great. I've only tried two, because I believe they were only recently introduced to Québec, but I definitely recommend them! These can be purchases at your local Walmart or select pharmacies!

Southern Belle

This is a delicious Peachy Black Tea from David's Tea collection. I'm totally obsessed! This can be purchased at your local David's Tea!

Wilton Baking Cups

I found these mini baking cups last night at Ares kitchen supplies! I'm really into floral, and I found these were really fun with spring/summer around the corner! These can be purchased at your local Ares store!

Michael Kors Twist Head Wrap

I fell in love with this one on my lunch hour about a month ago in the Michael Kors store near my work. I've yet to go back because I literally own over 25 scarves (sick addiction), but after looking at it again online... I might have to be bad, and just bite the bullet. How perfect would this be for walking little Behr? The color I saw and fell inlove with, was Camel (also sick addiction).

These can be purchased at your local Michael Kors Store.

Elegant Apron

I'm in love with this Apron from Etsy. The colors are calm and simple, the pattern super feminine, but it's the bow that just wins me over, so cute! This can be purchased under CreativeChics at Etsy.com.

Cheers!

5 Things

After discovering new blogs, and seeing what other individuals produce on a weekly or daily basis, I've decided to run with a new weekly idea for Les Gâteaux Mignons; 5 things. Every thursday I will come up with 5 things that I love/want, inspire me, or make me happy!


Kitchenaid Stand Mixers

I just bought my first Kitchenaid stand mixer this year, and it is Amaaaaazing! I have the lowest model (because I'm no millionaire), and it works like a charm, I can't even imagine what the more powerful models would be like! What I really love about Kitchenaid is all the amazing colors this Mixer is offered in. Truly smart, because this means it can match any kitchen's color palette! So with that being said, I 100% recommend this Stand Mixer to anybody interested in buying one! They can be purchased through any Walmart, Canadian Tire, Ares, or Sears store!

Crocheted Cell Phone Case

A local Hudson business "Sanford Sisters", makes these really cute Iphone & Blackberry cell phone covers! They're super inexpensive and work great to protect and keep your phone cozy! These can be purchased through their Etsy account under TheSanfordSisters.

Greige Nail Polish


A new nail color I'm totally in love with right now is Greige! This is a mix of grey and beige, and it will go well with any outfit! Obviously Chanel is way out of my price range, but if I could, I would! This is called "Paticuliere", by Chanel. It can be purchased at your local "Bay" (Hbc) department store.

Indoor Garden

For my birthday, my girlfriend gave me this amazing indoor garden gift! It will eventually produce "African Dwarf Sunflowers", I cannot wait till they bloom! These can be purchased at local gift stores around the island of Montréal, or through Windowbox.com

Cupcake Oven Mitts

As a baker, I always need to make sure I have my trusty oven mitts, without them, dangerous things can occur (which I've learned the hard way)! Check out this really cute Cupcake Oven mitts that can be purchased through Etsy under LoveandAvenue.

Well this concludes the first addition of 5 things!
