Weekend Recap

Right now in my city, our water levels are SUPER high because of all the rain we've been getting (hence the flooding) so I thought it'd be a good idea if yesterday John & I went to Kakabeka Falls (about 30 minutes away from where we live) to see the rapid falls and the high water levels! It was seriously a wonder how beautiful the falls looked. We even saw a rainbow within the water!
Also, the water was rushing so fast and high up that when you'd stand at a certain viewing point, you'd get soaking wet. Also, they had one of the viewing areas blocked off because the water was touching the walkway... yeah. Crazy!

We finished off the day by barbecuing some steaks (and when I say I, I mean John), and having way too many drinks for a Sunday. My weekend wasn't the greatest to be honest but I won't get into that here, but let's just say yesterday was a refreshing and fun way to end off the weekend.
I hope you had a great one too! What did you do?

Instagram Dump/Weekend Recap








This weekend was seriously awesome. I did so much but still had time to sit outside in the sun and enjoy a good book!

Friday night, got a much needed haircut and then went out for dinner for one of my best friend Andrea's going away party (insert sad face here).

Saturday night, John and I went to a BBQ for his friend's return from Thailand. There was delicious food and John's friends are always hilarious and fun to be around so it was a good time.

And Sunday, I went for a run where I practically ran for 30 minutes straight with only a few short pauses! I guess yoga helps with endurance? Regardless, I was proud of myself.. but my legs hate me today. For the rest of the day, I sat outside in the sun all day where I enjoyed a delicious fruit & avacodo plate with Cinnamon and finished the book Lunch in Paris.

Now, I'm ready for my last week writing for Dougall Media! Eep!

P.S. How cute is Walter?

Boringest Weekend of All Time




1st Pic: Scrambled Eggs LOADED with vegetables and Feta Goat Cheese
2nd Pic: Mustard Crusted Chicken recipe from Pam.. SOO good.
3rd Pic: Tabbouleh (Lebanese Salad... not sure if I spelt that right though)

This past weekend John went out of town for work and normally my weekends are spent doing whatever we decide to do... but this weekend, I didn't have my BFF to hang out with.
Which basically gave me a huge reality check that I should probably make more time for friends considering I was bored stiff, lol.


But in actuality (is that a word?), I wasn't a complete lump all weekend.. I did do something things.


Friday I watched My Week with Marilyn which was such a beautiful film... seriously, watch it. You won't regret it. And I also sobbed my eyes out to Marley & Me. Please keep in mind I was by myself and if you were looking down on me, I probably looked more than pathetic haha.


Both Saturday & Sunday I got my Hot Yoga on so I took the time to at least take care of myself.
Also Saturday, my friend Andrea and I went to the Folklore Festival (which is a cultural festival in town featuring all types of activities, performances and the best part... food from all over the world!). I had such a delicious Lebanese Salad... I'm not even sure of what they put in it to make it so amazing but I find myself craving it now. I finished Saturday off by watching 2 more movie (MoneyBall and We Bought a Zoo). I didn't like MoneyBall... I though it was boring. But I LOVED We Bought a Zoo. Such a cute story.


That was basically my weekend.
And the award goes to me for the boringest post of all time!!! Gold star.
