Spring is here! In the city.

So for school, I went to the big city, woo! We went to see the lovely play, Macbeth. I really enjoyed it, it was very well done. But anyway, we were told to dress up a bit, since this is a play and it was in a really nice theater.I took this as the perfect opportunity to wear my new outfit!

So this is what I wore,
I bought the top from H&M, I love it so much. The detailing is beautiful, everything is lovely about it. I paired it with this black skirt, which I love, and it is also from H&M. For shoes, I wore my new ones from Journeys. I paired the whole outfit with simple jewelry, wearing two pearl bracelets from forever 21, and a beautiful vintage-flower ring from Ardene. 





My hair & makeup was done pretty simple. I loosely curled my hair using my wand, then brushed it out & sprayed it with a bit of light hairspray. For my makeup, I used a small amount of face makeup, just doing what I always do, then a pale light colour base eye shadow with a bit of a smokey eye effect using a darker brown colour. Then lined my eyes with a bit of black liquid eyeliner, and finishing with curling my eyelashes and applying some mascara! I used a nude lipstick with a light gloss over it as well.

It was such a beautiful spring day, it couldn't have been better! I had a lot of fun on the trip, and hope I get the opportunity to go on another!

Tofu smoothie!

I know. It sounds gross, right? It isn't! It's very delicious & super easy & quick!
Being a vegetarian, I find it a little difficult to make sure I get the correct amount of protein & nutrients I need in my day. I wanted to try doing something with tofu because it is packed with protein, but I wasn't sure what to start with. So I bought extra firm tofu, & I decided I'd use it in a smoothie today. Here's the recipe if you're interested!

Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of tofu (I used extra firm, silken is the recommended.)

- 1/2 cup of any fruit you'd like. I used blueberries, & added 1 full banana.

- 1 cup of orange juice

-a few ice cubes

- 1 tsp of honey or sugar.

Optional:
I also put in about 1/2 - 1cup of vanilla yogurt because I didn't like the taste of mine but that is completely up to you!

Notes:
Any fruit can be used, I only had bananas & blueberries!

I hope this recipe helped someone in some way, & I encourage you to experiment with different flavors & ingredients!

Florida

Hi! So this March break ( I know its April oops) I went to Orlando, Florida! My family and I do this every year, every March break. On the drive down, we like to stop somewhere interesting and I got to pick! We stopped in Nashville, TN. It was wonderful! We visited all the 'honky tonk' stores, and we stayed in the Gaylord Opryland resort for the night! It was so beautiful!  I know I'm late, but I wanted to do a mini haul sort of thing to show what I have bought! Below is everything I bought for and during the trip :)

I'll start off with the stuff I got before the trip. I was in desperate need of new shorts, so I went to the mall and picked up these 2 pairs of high wasted shorts from Garage. I really love the colours of them! Also from Garage, I bought these 2 crop tops and 2 pairs of pants.















From H&M, I got this adorable skirt. It's so cute and goes with everything! I love it so much, here's a pic of me wearing it :)  Ignore my messy room! This was right before I left for Florida I had no time to clean!! (here is the link for where it was bought Price: $19.95CA http://www.hm.com/ca/product/10697?article=10697-B )










From Victoria's Secret, I bought my bikini! I got this lovely one, I love the colour! It looks a lot different in person, it's more of a turquoise colour. As much as I love this bikini, it was very pricy from what I would normal want to spend. But aside from that, its really good quality, and it look really nice on, so it was worth it.












From Urban Planet, I bought these shoes, I do like them a lot, and I only payed $10 for them, but they are a little cheepy, the soles are really thin, but other than that they are perfect! I really wanted ones from Zara that looked like the black ones, but I didn't have the money to buy them! So $10 look-a-likes it is!


Now, in Nashville I didn't buy much, but I wanted something like a souvenir to remember it, so I ended up buying cowboy boots. I had to, its like when you go there, you just have to get yourself a pair of cowboy boots, everyone is wearing them there! Along with that, I got these cute guitar picks for myself, sister, and my best friend, I thought it was a cute souvenir & we all play guitar.
 


In Florida, they have amazing malls okay. Their outlets are beautiful. haha, so I got these cute tops, and dress, and my cute coach bag & wallet :3 I also got the cutest pair of shoes ever.. I love them. They are so cute, and go perfect with all my dresses. The first top (Peplum pink top) is from Charlotte Russe along with a cross pink/peach sweater and the blue denim tie shirt has the cutest little white bow design all over it. My cute shoes are from Journeys, and the coach purse & wallet, obviously from the Coach Outlet. I did get some more clothes, but I don't have a picture of them! I bought a cute dress from Ron John Surf Shop.




That's basically all I got! I may do a second blog post for pictures of my vacation. It was incredible, I love Florida.
