Happy Monday everyone! I kind of wish it was still the weekend, but oh well Monday means it is only 5 more days until the weekend 
I wanted to discuss today a few of my favourite things this April.
Coffee.
Duh.
Mad Men.
I just adore this show. I missed season 4 though. So I have to catch up on all those missed episodes. I just love everything about this era, and how they formulate each episode.

Zuzana’s ZWOW’s.
I do these workouts at least once a week and I love how hard they are. Seriously. I missed her workouts when she left bodyrock, and am so glad she is back to posting these high intensity workouts. I swear nothing has made me love exercising more than pushing myself to the max during interval training. That sounds weird, but its true.
Balls.
Food that is. From cookie dough balls, to mac and cheese balls, goat cheese truffles, and even cocoa almond butter ball.
Bare Essentials Foundation from Sephora.
I am planning on sharing my skin transformation soon. I suffered from the worst skin almost anyone had ever seen. It was horrible, I can not even describe the suffering I went through when my skin was at its worst. Switching to this foundation, improved my skin almost immediately and it has helped keep my skin clear for the past 2 years.

Peanut Flour.
I have a serious obsession. I use it at least once a day. I need to share more of my recipes I have been making with this.

If you are looking for a book to read. Read this. It was an amazing read. I never wanted to put it down and was so sad when it ended. It is very long, but seriously good. Don’t let the author Stephen King fool you, it is not a creepy, scary novel.

Coloured denim.
To be honest, I was wary about this at first. I mean, who can pull of coloured pants? As soon as I tried on my first pair, I was hooked. I stepped out of the dressing room expecting the worst, but was pleasantly surprised by how much I love them.

This month I participated in the Foodie Pen Pals, hosted by the lovely Lindsay.
I loved the experience of it, and can not believe the hard work Lindsay must go through each month to get this all put together.
If you would like to hear more about it visit Lindsay’s blog for more info.
I received a lovely package from Erin, who does not have a blog, but is a triathlete! How cool. Erin made me muffins! She said this was her first time ever making gluten free muffins and she did a great job! My family and I loved them. They were mango too. A favourite of mine
She sent me wonderful tea flavours as well, and included some snacks that I tried out and they were really good. I loved the ingredient list of them, nothing too crazy. Along with a soup mix that will be good when I need a quick lunch or dinner. Thank you Erin for the package!
I hope everyone enjoys their day!! I’m off to get some things checked off my to do list for today.
What were some of your favourite things this April?
About Lisa
YAY! You’re reading one of my favorite books!
It is amazing!!
YESSS to peanut flour and colored denim!
I’ve never watched mad men before, but I love their style, I’ll have to check it out one of these days for sure!
It is definitely a good show! And its not like too over the top with drama, if you know what I mean.
I still need to try those goat cheese truffle ball magical things
And heck yes to peanut flour, I finally ordered some again and am loving it too!
It is so good, its weird because I don’t like peanut butter, but like peanut flour. I guess they don’t really taste that much alike anyways!
I am a Bareminerals devotee too. No other makeup can match my skin tone or cover as well. It is amazing!
I need to order more Peanut Flour, asap!
I totally agree! I love love peanut flour. Sucks that you can only order it online though!
Ooh, I’ll have to look for the Bare Minerals foundation. My skin got really bad lately
Is the book a horror, or more thriller? I need a new book to read!
It’s neither actually. It’s very dramatic and a little suspenseful. But, not a typical Stephen King book by any means.
YAY! I’m so glad you are enjoying that book!! And I love bare essentials foundation. That stuff is awesome. One of my favorite things this April was Instagram finally coming to Android
. I LOVE that app hehe
The best foundation I’ve found by far! Oh man, I can’t wait to get an iphone. I simply want it for instagram haha. I am counting down the days until my contract is up!
lovin the balls! okay the cocoa balls. hehe. Happy almost MAY!
Haha
Yay, happy May! Can you believe the year is almost half over?!
Can we discuss your hair color? Is it natural? I’m considering printing out your head and taking it to my next hair appt, hahah!
Of course
Oh no, it is not natural at all! Before I was blonde, I had dark dark brown hair. And it’s naturally a mousy brown colour, lovely eh? Feel free to take a photo of my head 
I should start watching MAd Men- I feel like I’d love it! Do you watch Game of Thrones?? I’m behind (only on season 1) and it’s awesome! A little confusing at first but it gets so good!!
I bet you would! It’s really good and not over the top with drama like some shows. I actually haven’t watched Game of Thrones, but heard it was great! I got to start watching it I think!
Yay Zuzana and Mad Men! I love both of those things too.
Yay
I also love coffee, Z-WOW and Mad Men. Have you seen Magic City? It’s on Starz and based in Miami during the late 1950′s. You will love it! Hmm other things I’m loving right now lemon water is helping with my water retention problem and for fashion I’m loving all things pastel. Have a great day <3
Haha love how we love all the same things
I have not seen Magic City! I’ll have to see what its all about! Sounds like my type of show though! Oh yes, lemon water. I love putting lemon in my hot water
Hi Gorgy!!! I’m about to head to starbies now for my DARK roast….come to momma!! This pic of you is beautiful!!
Ok, Ok, TELL ME MORE about your skin, I could talk about this for days, and trust me I KNOW!! in your 30′s with this is never fun! I just started PUR Minerals, have you tried that one??
xxoo
Yes for Starbies
Love it! Thanks you lovely! Oh man, my skin has certainly had its up and downs. I always suffered from acne as a teenager, and it did go away when I was about 18. But after I started recovery from my eating disorder, my skin went wild. It just completely broke out everywhere. And I could not stop it or control it, plus I was super stressed about it so that did not help! I saw countless doctors, specialists, nutritionists, naturopaths and nothing worked, it was so sad. I honestly was in a pretty bad depression when I thought nothing would change. My family was actually looking at having me go to the states and see a really good skin doctor there. Anyways, my neighbour was actually a dermatologist, but I was originally embarrassed to see him because I had known him for so long and didn’t want him to see my skin (stupid thought!), so I eventually went to him and he completely changed my skin! He started me on a program to transform my skin, I bought a clarisonic (life saver) and started using all new moisturizer, face wash and stuff and once the acne cleared up I got laser done to get rid of the scars and it helped SO much with those! I thought it would be impossible, but it completely changed the way my skin looked. I’ve been thinking about posting a before photo, but am kind of scared to because my skin was pretty, pretty bad. Wow this was SOOOO long haha! Sorry if you actually read all that! E-mail me if you would like 
Oh and I haven’t tried PUR minerals yet, just bare minerals.
Woo! I love the colored denim although it’s been too cold for me to wear them but I’m excited to start wearing the pairs I got in May! + I LOVE the bare escentuals foundation. It’s the best. Seriously. Except in the summer, it makes my skin itchy. Good thing it’s not too hot/humid out yet so I can still wear it
Good list!
Oh man, weird it makes your skin itchy! I haven’t noticed that when its hot out. Well, I guess it never really get hot where I live anyways.
Mango muffins, mmm! And homemade too. I love getting homemade things from foodie pen pals. What a great package!
I’m jealous that you have so many new-to-you Mad Men eps to watch! It is an amazing show. I plan to watch the latest season 5 ep tonight with my parents, it’s our thing
Your skin is so beautiful, so I can’t wait to see your skin secrets! I love colored pants too, though maybe not denim…I like the colored cropped pants I’ve been seeing everywhere!
Janine Ryan recommended that book to me too. It is def on my to-read list on goodreads.com!
Yes, just the best show! I’m probably going to watch them all on a day when I have nothing to do. Its my parents and my thing too haha. You need to read it, it is so awesome!
