High Five for Friday

Hello!

This week has been crazy! With major construction happening in both my new condo and my mom's house, my mom and brother temporarily moving in, feeling under the weather, and working like crazy, I haven't had the chance to blog.

That being said I am making my addition to High Five for Friday. 

1. As mentioned above constuction has continued in my kitchen. My new counter top went in yesterday which is extremely exciting!! My uncle and I will have to do the plumbing this weekend and get the backsplash started so I will put up pictures at that point. 

 

2. Cookie Exchange 

My department at work did a cookie exchange this year and I made truffles :) unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of how I did it but I will eventually for you. 

 

3. Secret SantaThis year I have been blest to be apart of two secret Santas. One with my amazing group of friends and another with my department at work. This is what I received :)

4. My little condo is looking quite full with me, Holstein (my dog), my mother, my brother and AJ (his dog). Construction is going well in both homes and it's exciting having them stay with me :) 

5. Christmas decorations

Because of the craziness going on in my home I have been slacking on my decorating (also I didn't want them all dusty with the kitchen renos) but here I what I have so far 

Enjoy!

High Five for Friday

Hello!

It is Friday and I thought I would do a High Five for Friday (as I use to on my old blog) 

1.  E.L.F. luscious liquid lipstick!

I got this in my huge E.L.F. Haul (which will be posted soon) and I love it! My cousin actually had it in her order but decided she only wanted the lighter colour. This is in the colour "Raspberry" and I have worn it all week! It's has great colour and longer staying power then a typical gloss... Best part it was only $1.50!! You just can't beat that.

2. Bloggers: my friend Patti introduced me to the blog, makeupbybrittany.com. She is a very talented makeup artist in my hometown. Check her out if you love all things makeup

3. YouTubers: my favourite (for a while) is Miss Budget Beauty! She has amazing tutorials and reviews on makeup and hair. She also has a vlog channel, Meet the McCools, which is so enjoyable to watch (the British accent makes it even more adorable.) 

4. Kitchen Renos Continue....

I will post pictures of what I have done to my kitchen since moving in but this week I purchased my faucet!!  

5. I had to include a picture of my dog, Holstein, and my mom's Goldendoddle, AJ, in their Christmas sweaters I bought on my trip to Michigan. 

They are all set for Christmas!! 

I also wanted to mention that High Five for Fridays was started on www.thelaurenelizabeth.com/. Check her out for more High Five for Friday links :)
