Hannah's Treat of The Day!

Haven't done this for a few days so it's definitely time to catch up! (Maybe I need to treat myself more...haha!)

Here is my treat of the day, I had this the other day whilst shopping...
Costa Coffee Brownie, it was DELICIOUS! It's not the ones you get in the packets by the tills, but a fresh one that was in the cabinet with all the muffins etc. and it said 'new' next to it so decided to give it a try and it was divineeee. Had white chocolate chips inside it and it was the perfect mix of crunchy outside and soft gooey inside...mmmm i'm drooling a bit just thinking about it! Definitely recommend trying one next time your in Costa!

Kisses,
Hannah

Get to Know Me

Ok I found these questions and thought i'd give them a go, think it's nice to open up a bit and let you get to know me a bit more! So here it goes...

3 Things you cannot leave the house without?
My blackberry, would be lost without it! Can literally organise my whole world using it, calendar, emails, BBM, internet...i'm constantly googling things. 

Keys, because when I leave the house I like to be able to get back in!
Sunglasses, I find that my eyes are really sensitive to the sun, and if I dont wear sunglasses i'm forever squinting which isn't too attractive!


Favorite Brand of makeup?
This was a toughie as I tend to mix up a bit of everything. 



  • For eyeshadows it has to be Chanel, I love their beautiful quads, the packaging is luxe.
  • For mascara i'm a big fan of Rimmel Lash Accelerator, it's been my favourite for the past 6 months and i've bought many a tube!
  • For lipstick can't beat Rimmel again! But I do have a lovely Chanel number which is the perfect shade of pink.
  • For bronzer/blush I love Mac.
  • Foundation wise i'm a big Maybelline fan, I used to love their Dream Matte Mousse, and when I was in America I picked up their liquid foundation 'Fit' which I am a massive fan of, bought a slighter paler shade in Canada as i'm loosing my tan and am pleased to say I love it just as much!




Favourite Flower?
Orchids, I used to live in Asia and think they are stunning.

Favourite clothing store?
At the moment i'm loving H&M and Zara, can always find something to buy!

If money was no object, it has to be Reiss.
Favorite Perfume?
It's a tie between Chanel-Chance and YSL-Parisienne. 

And I loved Viktor & Rolf- Flowerbomb but I ran out and have yet to repurchase, next time i'm in Duty Free for sure!
Heels or flats?
Flats, I have the habit of buying heels but they just sit in my wardrobe looking pretty waiting for the chance to be worn!

Do you make good grades?
Yes, i'm quite a smart cookie if I say so myself!

Favourite colours?

Turqouise, Mint and Coral! (but I tend to wear mainly grey and black!)
Do you drink energy drinks?

Occasionally, but I try not to.
Do you drink juice?

I love squash, but only summer fruits and blackcurrant. I hate anything with oranges in it!
Do you like swimming?
Love swimming, would happily be a mermaid! 

Do you eat fries with a fork?

In a restaurant yes, but down at Macdonalds...no! 
Favourite moisturiser?

Body Shop Body Butters, especially the Mango one.
Do you want to get married later on in life?
I want to get married yes, I'd like to be married by the time i'm 25, is that young?

Do you get mad easily?

In general, no. But there are certain things that really get to me, like bullying or any form of cruelty to animals. 
Do you bite your nails?

Sometimes!
Have you ever had a near death experience?

Umm a few! When I was younger I swallowed a pound coin which flipped in my throat and blocked my airway. Luckily my Dad just dove straight in and fished it out, but it could have very easily gone wrong, with him pushing it further down or lodging it the wrong way. Aside from that i've been in a few near misses in cars, but luckily i'm still alive today and touch wood I will be for many years to come!
Do you drink coffee?
YES! I am a coffee addict, both at home and when i'm out, Costa and Starbucks love me!



Kisses,
Hannah

Love

I've been a bit absent lately, had the post holiday blues. But decided to cheer myself up i'm going to write down all the things I love! (or as many as I can think of right now...)

vanilla candles, old photos, ticket stubs, hummus, skipping, the smell of bonfires, airports, bridal magazines, sitting in cafes watching the world go by, driving down windy roads, cocktails, freshly dry cleaned clothes, puppies, thai food, traveling to somewhere new, exploring, waking up and realising it's sunday, tea lights, starbucks, people-watching, seeing old friends, making new friends, love letters, postcards, new magazines, fresh strawberries, oat cereal, fresh bed sheets, hotel rooms, orchids, cricket jumpers, uggs.

TBC!

Airport Adventures

So my flight has been delayed, annoying but I kind of expected it! So i've been exploring the delights of St John's Airport. I LOVE airports, hours of fun! I'm the sort of sad person who shows up four hours early for a flight just to look around the shops and watch the planes!

Here are a few snippits from my airport adventures.
 Best magazine ever! But slightly concerning to read before getting on a plane...
Last Tim Hortons...couldn't resist Tim's Bits! (Sounds so wrong and dirty!!!)

Treat of the day!

I know realise that if I always have a treat of the day i'll be the size of a house before the end of the month...as I will just eat every piece of sugary goodness I come across and tell myself 'oh it's just research for the blog', so it HAS TO STOP!

But...i'm on holiday now so it doesn't need to stop until Monday, hurrah! Well technically it should stop Sunday night when I leave Canada, but everybody need's a jetlag/post-holiday blues day so i'll give myself until Tuesday...maybe Wednesday, but then I might as well just finish the week and be sensible from the following Monday, argh it's a vicious circle!

Back to the case in hand, today's treat was the delicious 'Newfie Storm' flavoured ice cream from Moo Moo's Icecreamery in St John's. Sadly I do not have a photo of the said icecream. So instead here is a photo of the ice cream placey itself.

Yes it is painted cowprint, yes it is AMAZING! They don't have a website but there's lots of information here and here

I am rather ashamed to say this is the second day i've been to Moo Moo's...went last night (after having the devilish bread pudding, I need to learn to say no!) and it was divine, had the Caramel swirl flavour yesterday. Then today was sat watching the TV and the cravings started. I just kept thinking about the creamy ice cream goodness, and hopefully it's not just me who gets this, but when you start thinking about something and you just can't get it out of your mind. So decided to just put myself out of my misery, sprinted the 300metres or so to Moo Moo's and got some icream, happy days!

So if you are ever in St John's Moo Moo's is a must, it's all home made and absolutely delicious.

I am definitely moo moo's for Moo Moo's!
(if that even makes sense? God i think the ice cream has gone to my brain!)
