Happy Friday!

So the Weather Network was originally forecasting 20cm of snow for the Montreal area, parts of Ontario, and parts of the US. Seems like insanity considering we're half way through April?! But in retrospect, I guess this isn't unheard of, we've just been used to shorter Winters! 
"BIG" surprise though, they were wrong for Montreal, seems to be mostly rain! (Word)

This morning I thought to myself, what makes people happy on sunny days, AND on rainy days? Alcohol!! (Well, it makes me happy anyways.. don't judge.) My girlfriend sent me THE most amazing cocktail recipe... the ingredients just make my mouth water, and quite frankly anything to do with a little bubbly, I'm sold!
So if you're feeling like you need a little pick me up from all this terrible weather, check out this recipe below!

•  1/4 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup water
• pinch of salt
• 1 bottle of chilled champagne

Directions:

1. Prepare simple syrup by stirring sugar and water until sugar completely dissolves. Keep in refrigerator to chill while prepping other ingredients.
2. In a tall pitcher, add all fruits + grapefruit juice + salt + simple syrup and ginger ale . Chill in refrigerator for a few hours, preferably overnight.
3. To serve, add sangria in a fancy-schmancy glass and top it with bubbly champagne!

Sounds delish no? My girlfriends and I, are making an impromptu turkey dinner tomorrow night, you definitely know what will  be on the cocktail list ;-)

Cheers!

Friday.

What a fast week! Friday is here, and we're approaching a weekend of debauchery- St-Patrick's Day! I wish you all a wonderful weekend, be safe and as my mom would say "Don't take any open drinks from anybody" - Thanks Mom!

EAT, DRINK & BE IRISH!

Nice T Jenna ;-)

Cheers! xo

Snow?

So apparently the Montreal area is getting slammed with 15-20 cm of snow from this afternoon till tomorrow morning? I'll believe it when I see it! Honestly the weather reports have been off all week! As long as it doesnt drop during rush hour, that's all I care about!

In other news, it's friday! ENJOY!

Cheers!

Last night I baked up a red velvet storm, and of course I had to try them. As mentioned before I’m not big a cake fan, but when it comes to red velvet, HUGE fan! The results were fantastic, super delicious! Pictures to follow this weekend!

Well somehow we’ve reached Friday again! It’s great, because it’s obviously one of the best days of the week, but I just can’t believe how fast life is flying by us! Reality is sinking in that before I know it, I’ll be in my mid 50s reminiscing on these exact days, and wishing I lived them up more. So I make this a challenge to myself, and to all of you who read this, live each day as if it was your last. It’s a cliché saying I know, but It’s SO true! Appreciate and enjoy every second of it, don’t steer away from the things that make you scared, because in the end those will be the best, and most exciting memories and life lessons one can have!

Where is this all coming from you ask? Well I think it’s important to realize these things sometimes, positivity goes much further than negativity! Having said that, I wish you all a wonderful weekend –live it up!



As per usual, here's your weekly Jenna Marbles video!

Cheers!

Friday is hereyurrrr

Ah Friday, what a wonderful day of the week for all of us office folk! I'm looking forward to drinks tonight, and the thought of being able to sleep in past 6 am tomorrow, glorious! Behr's getting his hair cut tomorrow, should be hilarious, I'll refrain from laughing at him though, he gets all self-conscious ... poor tyke! (pictures for sure this weekend!)

Well Jenna has done it again, totally hilarious! I've actually never seen "Drunk Kitchen" but I'm thinking I should start watching it, if it's anything like hers, too funny! I actually enjoy having a few glasses of wine while I bake, it chills me out and gets me in the zone!

ENJOY YOUR FRIDAY!

Cheers!

Well we made it! First full week back after the holidays, never easy! Yesterday's snow storm was quite something....today isn't looking too promising either unfortuntately. I'm 100% ready for spring/summer now, let's pray for an early one!

As usual, here's your friday Jenna Marbles video! Drive safe people!!

Cheers xo

Getting there...

Hello! It's been awhile I know... I finally saw a doctor that put me on these massive horse pills and an inhaler, the meds are finally kicking in and I'm slowly but surely starting to feel like myself again. I'm attempting to work in the office today but I don't know how long I will last, as it's not even 8 am and I'm sweating bullets again.


I'm excited to share a few new ideas with you all in the New Year, I've been thinking about a couple of spins on the average Cupcake that I think you'll all enjoy! So be sure to stay tuned for these new and exciting ideas!


Well, sadly that is all the energy I have for blogging today...(weak I know). For all of you who have been back on your regular schedules, you're allllmost there! Friday is around the corner!


Cheers xo

Woot!

FRIIIIIDAY! Hooray! We made it guys! I'm still slightly bitter about last night's vote off on XFactor...how ridiculous! (For those of you who watch it, I'm sure we are in agreement that Nicole screwed this one up big time!)

In other news, tonight I am getting my Christmas deco on with a few friends...and a few drinks... cant wait! It's actually my staff "Holiday" party tonight, however I am skipping it this year due to the fact that I will be driving alone in the dark 45 mins there and back and I am blind as a bat in the dark, so it seems like decorating is a better bet for me this year! My buddy's annual Christmas party is next saturday, so we're spiffing up the place, it going to look snazz!


Well, here is a funny Jenna Marbles video for ya, gotta say I guess I fall under the "White Girl" category, can't say i've never taken my shoes off before.... sometimes those things KILL! But ya gotta do, whatcha gotta do! Sorry Jenna! But for the most part, I totally agree with her!

TGIF! Enjoy!

Cheers
