OOTWW

Wow, jeeze. The feedback I received from everyone on twitter, instagram and the comments from The Results of Paleo were phenomenal and made me smile! Thank you for making me feel awesome inside and out :)

Does everyone have weekend plans? Tell me them. Today we have two more second interviews to go through and then we’re done. I think. I’m excited to see what today brings, but that’s all I’ll say about that.

As for the weekend, I’m actually getting my hair dyed tonight after work. I spotted some grey hairs behind my ears so I panicked and booked an appointment immediately. lol There’s no way I’m going to have grey hairs poking out of my head anytime soon. How depressing.

I plan on going to Toronto with the Boyfriend at some point and then on Sunday we’re going to drive to Guelph to see some of my family. Including the almost due with her first baby cousin Vanessa! That’s exciting :)

Onto the outfits from the work week. My favorite would’ve been yesterdays outfit if I could have found that shrug cardigan I planned on wearing. But I couldn’t. So it was all over the place. Either way, here you go and I’m now off to work!

Have a great weekend everyone :)

eos now makes shave cream!

Yeah, you heard that right. eos now makes shave cream! eos kindly sent these two bottles of shave cream my way, for reviewing. shave-cream-eos

The sun is shining, and it’s about dang time to show off those legs. Shave your legs with eos’ shave cream and slap on some self tanner and you’re ready for spring.

Dare I say this is better than the smooth sphere lip balms? To be honest, the smooth sphere lip balms by them aren’t my top pick. My co-worker Julie has five or more and adores them. Anytime I’m in her office she stops to apply a bit. She goes through them like buttah. To each their own. My preference is their hand cream, and now their shave cream.

eos always comes out with unique packaging. From their hand creams, and smooth sphere lip balms to this plastic velvety coating of a bottle with a decent pump for easy application.

The bottle is made out of plastic meaning it won’t leave those terribly annoying rust stains on the edge of your tub. Why can’t all companies jump on this plastic shave cream wagon?eos-shave-cream-pump

You see, if I run out shave gel, I usually resort to using a few pumps of conditioner on my legs. The eos shave cream is similar in consistency to conditioner where as it will not foam up on  your legs. Don’t let that deter you from trying it out though. These bottles of shave cream are packed with natural conditioning oils and shea butter for that added softness and moisture on your legs which will soften and soothe your skin for a full 24 hours. I can attest to that. eos-shave-cream-on-hand

 

eos-shave-creamShown above are the two of the three scents available to Canadians. I know there’s much more variety in the states. Pomegranate Raspberry which smells so good I kind of wanted to eat it. Dangeous. Then the white classic looking bottle is a sensitive – Fragrance Free (Hypoallergenic & Dermatologist Tested). These products are not tested on animals, and contain no animal by-products.

The eos shave creams are now available for $3.99 at:

•  Rexall
•  London Drug
•  Loblaw’s
•  Jean Coutu
•  Uniprix

Weekend recap

I had a wonderful relaxing weekend. Did you? I hope so! I take weekends off working out and while sometimes it feels like I’m missing out on working out, I quickly snap out of that silly mindset and enjoy the two days off.

First off, I booked a flight home to Newfoundland. I’m not going til the end of June but I’m so excited I had to tell everyone :)

On Saturday morning I woke up and made myself some delicious breakfast. Actually, scratch that I didn’t make it because it was pre-made in advance for the entire week. I just had to heat it up. So easy, so quick, so healthy, so paleo.

Saturday I took my Boyf to experience the fresh farmers market downtown, where we stocked up on inexpensive produce for the week. I didn’t need much this time around. Just some sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, celery, broccoli, tomatoes and strawberries. I spent less than $15 and got oodles of food.

The Boyf decided to go out on his tri bike for a few hours and get in some training outside since the weather was quite nice while I took the pup for a walk and came back home to give myself an at home mani/pedi.

Used these two colors. The berry color is from Nail Polish Canada, and the fun peach one is by Barry M which I bought on eBay last summer from the UK.

I got caught up on some of my favorite blogs while meal-prepping for the upcoming week. Is your mouth watering? Be patient :) The recipe will be posted on Wednesday morning.plate-it-up

My Boyfriend is an Ironman Triathelete and has been trying for the past 8 years for me to stop eating unhealthy (candy, soda, candy, and more candy). Since going on Paleo I’ve been very strict about not having any cheats whatsoever. There’s no easy supper’s on a lazy week night. Everything is planned, prepared and healthy. It’s funny because some nights I used to be tired and just throw a frozen pizza in the oven and call it supper. The Boyf is definitely feeling deprived of some of those lazy meals as he’s been eating the majority of what I make (with the addition of wheats/grains/carbs added in). So each Saturday night I’ve been making him some homemade blueberry muffins to satisfy his very small sweet tooth. He even suggested the need to pop by McDonalds… WITH OUT ME. We’ll see about that.

muffinsBest girlfriend of the year goes to, ahem ahem.

blueberry muffinsMan, they smelled devine coming out of the oven and I couldn’t even take a bit. Just smell, watch, and deliver a fresh one on a plate for him.

Yesterday, I went to Target again. Boy I love that place. Does anyone know when the grand opening is supposed to be? I thought it was supposed to be April-something’th but clearly I’m wrong. Anyway, that didn’t stop me from shopping the whole store. I was in there for 2½ hours and managed to spend $130. Oops? Hey, it’s stuff I “needed”.
