April Snaps







1. Braid from the back
2. Gorgeous snow-capped mountains as far at the eye can see
3. Vegan mini vanilla cupcakes decorated simply for Spring
4. Zen curled up in my bed while I sift through party dresses
5. Organized chaos on my bureau top
6. Slowly but surely infusing my closet with colour

Today's scheduled exam was post-poned so I thought I'd take this as an opportunity to quickly share some random photos from the past couple of weeks. The past few days have been absolutely gorgeous here. The snow is almost completely melted, & rising to a pleasant 21°C,  yesterday was the hottest April 17th in recorded Newfoundland history (as the radio informed me all of 5 times). Besides the glorious sunshine, I've slid back into my daily running routine beautifully, had a delightful day at the Spa (where I ran into my Auntie who was lovely enough to treat me!), & gotten in enough studying to call myself semi-productive. I also received a highly covetable item in the mail, which I'll share with you in my next post :)

With my flight leaving at an ungodly hour Friday morning, my current 'To Do Before I Go' list is mountains high. I'll undoubtedly leave the packing to the very last minute. Later today I'll be entertaining one of my loveliest friends, who I haven't seen since last Summer. Although one afternoon isn't nearly enough time, I'm sure to cram in more life chatter than you can imagine. I'll also be making us a vegan gluten-free Avocado Pesto Pasta for sup (which I only mention because it is the worlds most amazing dish & you absolutely have to try it :)

Thanks for reading! <3

  13. Sehr schöne Fotos! Wow, deine Frisur ist toll, ich wünschte ich könnte auch so französische Zöpfe flechten!
    ja bitte, na dann lernst du doch was wenn du was nachschauen musst, sehr gut! und drei wörter sind wirklich nicht viel! Danke für das Kompliment, ja leider musste ich noch einen Mantel über mein Outfit darüberziehen, sonst wäre es zu kalt gewesen..
    Ohja, mal sehen wie weit ich am Wochenende mit dem Frühlingsaufräumen für meinen Schrank komme ;-)

  27. Oh that kitty is the cutest thing ever!!!! I am literally gushing over Zen!
    I'm glad you've gotten back into your own running routine - I seriously am slacking on mine. I really miss running but with all this school work, I just haven't been in the mood for it. I hope summertime will motivate me to get back into a 6 mile a day regimen. I mean, bikini season isn't going to ready itself. :)
    That avocado pesto pasta sounds uh-maaazing!
