For those of you who follow me on YouTube and/or Instagram, you will know that I am now in my third trimester of my first pregnancy. I have a playlist on my channel called Journey to Motherhood and I wanted to be able to document more than just the trimesters over here on the blog, even though the time is quickly passing. So today I'm going to start with Trimester One Recap and you can watch the full video below along with my announcement video!

I cannot believe that I have not actually posted a blog post in over a year. I definitely feel like I worked on some posts that just never went live and this year I am going to be better. I am determined to stop self-sabotaging in terms of any form of content. Anywho...SO much happened in the last year that I can't wait to catch you up on and more exciting news for this year!​

Buying jewellery can be a very expensive process so finding a shop that is more affordable with beautiful pieces is very exciting!

I SAID YES TO THE DRESS!! Ohmygod that feels so good to say!
I was beginning to get a bit stressed that I hadn't yet said yes to a dress. While I won't be telling you which dress I said yes to (yet), I wanted to show you the final dresses I tried on before committing.

The wedding dress hunt continues at my second shop, Saratina Bridal. I must say right off the top, the experience at this shop was better than the first and by the end of this visit, I thought that I may have found the one!

The time has come to start looking for a dress! I have never shopped for a fancy dress for any occasion so the first dress shop was very exciting and nerve wracking for me. I was able to bring my MIL & youngest SIL (and bridesmaid) to this appointment with me to help me figure out what I thought I wanted.

Everyone knows that engagement rings can be absolutely extortionately priced and for some, the price doesn't mean anything compared to wanting to spend their life with their partner. I wanted to spend a modest amount on a ring and would have accepted a ring pop if that's what Scott used. So I'm going to share with you two places to look at rings if you are unsure of a style, don't want to break the bank, or are looking for an affordable 'dupe' to wear while on vacation.

I don't know about you, but when I think of autumn there are just some colours that really pop. I've also been trying to transition my wardrobe to focus on a small range of colours so that I can maximize the use of each of my pieces. I have been a fan of mustard, olive, and burgundy for a while now, with the addition of rust and camel tones. So these have become staple shades in my wardrobe, along with a few others.

     Ohmygoodness! I'm so excited to finally share this news with you all. I have decided that along with some wedding prep vlogs and plans, I will also be recording it here on the blog. If there is something you would like me to cover specifically, please let me know in the comments, or feel free to DM me on Instagram. 

At home pampering has soared in the last year due to all of the lockdowns. My province had entered a third lockdown earlier in the spring which made getting your nails done impossible. We are now almost fully open again, with salons opening their doors, but many have found ways to do their nails from home with salon quality. One of those at home mani solutions is dip nails, which I am so excited to give a try.
