Snow Shoeing



Yesterday my husband and I decided to take a day off to go show shoeing up Forbidden Plateau.  We packed a lunch, some hot drinks and bundled up as best we could for our trek.  Once we got a ways up we dug a "snow-hole" and just sat and enjoyed the view from the top.  The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day to be outside with the one you love.  I hope all of you get to enjoy adventures over the holiday season. Enjoy!

Our Little Black Dress

This, as with every, seasons the wardrobe essential is the "little black dress".  Everyone needs to own a simple, elegant black dress that can be dressed up or down.  Pair any of ours with a great tuxedo jacket or a fitted leather.  Throw on lots of bling or go "coco" with simple elegant pearls.  Beanilla's little black dress is long-lasting, versatile and super affordable.  Which one says your style best?

Something old to something new...

Ryan and I were in need of a new headboard and didn't have much money, I decided I wanted to make something look a bit shabby chic.  I found this one at a thrift store for $25.00, bought some spray paint from Canadian Tire, a sanding pad and Voila! New bed!  Now I am super inspired to buy tons of old stuff and re-finish it.

New Bed!  I used "Almond" paint color and roughened up
the edges once dried to give it more of an antique look.

Awesome and Awkward Tuesdays!

Hello everyone, I am planning on starting a weekly post of all the "awesome and awkward" things that happen to me over the week, hope you enjoy.


Awkward:
-grocery shopping, filling your cart, and realizing you wallet is in "the other purse"
-realizing your legging are inside out and you've been wearing them all day with the tag showing
-running into an old classmate from HighSchool and forgetting their names (I hate that)


Awesome:
-yoga (recently discovered and I can't get enough)
-cool crisp mornings of October...how I love the fall
-having your husband crawl into bed after a late night of playing hockey and whispering "I love you and I am so proud of you"
-following your dreams --thank you BEANILLA

Print Interest

We're talking "prints".  This fall must-have is the printed dress.  Paired with tall, short or ankle boots the print dress goes with everything.  Consider wearing these little numbers with a statement leather jacket and dainty shoes or a blazer and a tough pair of motorcycle boots.  The combo's are endless.
