Hey there Friday, won’t you stay here for a while?! How’s all your day’s going? Good, I am hoping.
It’s that time again it is June 1st! What the…this year is just passing by WAY too quickly, it seems like just yesterday I was ringing in the new year.
Why is it when you get older the years go by faster? And can you believe we are now half way through 2012!! It’s mind boggling to me!
So here we are at the end of May, I thought I’d throw together a post of my favourite May things.
Food
- pumpkin – through out this month I’ve been using it in things such as: pumpkin cookie dough, protein muffins, snacky scones, and this girls pumpkin protein dough. I just love her blog in general clearly
- coconut anythinggg - butter, oil, and flour are by far my favourites. I eat one of these products at least once a day
Workouts
Workout Song
- LMFAO – sorry for party rockin’
Fashion
- colourful dresses and dresses in general, dress addiction does in fact exist.

Makeup
- mascara – specifically diorshow mascara, if I could take one makeup product to a deserted island it would have to be mascara; I just can’t live without it

TV Show

- the bachelorette – I actually really like Emily this season, I know lots of people don’t, but she’s really sweet, down to earth, and I think her heart is in the right place. Plus who wouldn’t want to be on the show when your budget on clothing is $350,000? I’d sign up for all that.
That’s it for my May favourites. Hope everyone is enjoying their day and you all have fun plans for this weekend!!
What are you favourites for May?
P.S. Isn’t it weird how in the UK and Canada we have a u in favourite, colour, etc. and in the US you don’t do that?
Okay, random tangent, and no one probably cares…
xox,

About Lisa
Mmm yes I totally agree about pumpkin and coconut!
Some of my May favourites are The Next Food Network Star, sundresses, Ellie Krieger’s cookbook, and buckwheat oatmeal flax bread!
Buckwheat oatmeal flax bread sounds delicious!! I got Ellie’s cookbook last month and haven’t even opened it yet, I just realized!! Got to get on that
Love this May recap of faves!!
I was really obsessed with smoothies in May…I have a feeling as the heat keeps rising, my addiction will be getting stronger heehee
Haha oh man, I completely agree! I know once the temperature goes up over here, I will be relying on smoothies like crazy! Good thing I love ‘em.
I am going to have to get some tips from you on how to use coconut products.
For sure! Feel free to ask whenever
I never heard of warm milk with nut butter before! Sounds yummy!
Hmm, my favorite thing for May would have to of been medjool dates!! I snacked on them like crazy these last few weeks! Nothing like natures candy!
It’s very good! I forgot about medjool dates, I remember last winter I was super stoked about them and was always making homemade lara bars with them. They really are natures candy!
i still need to try coconut butter and coconut oil! which one do you think i should try out first? the butter is just thicker, right?
and oh my, i need to try the nut butter in hot milk! that sounds SO good! i’ve never even thought of doing that before.
i also am loving the bachelorette this season. the guys didn’t impress me much at first, but now i’m loving sean and arie. emily is adorable too!
I would definitely say coconut butter first! It definitely has a better more intense flavour!! Coconut oil is more subtle when cooked, but delicious non the less! Emily is quite adorable, I’m glad she’s more outspoken this season too
Pretty dress! I pinned the same one. I’m not a huge fan of Diorshow. I bought it and tried to love it but I found it to be dry and that I had to apply too many coats. I’m obsessed with MAC Haute and Naughty right now. Something I loved in May was watching all the beautiful flowers bloom. Have a great day
I find the same thing with the regular, I usually buy waterproof and it seems to go on different, I think haha. I get so happy when the flowers start to bloom as well!
I love this! I always love pumpkin and coconut. My love for coconut has been off the hook lately. Before the bachelorette came out, I thought I wouldn’t like this season because of Emily but I actually like it! I can’t stay away from the juicy drama.
Haha, same here. I can’t live without it
Coconut is my jam. Of course the bachelorette would manage to keep it juicy!
I’m with you on the coconut products. I love coconut flour in my yogurt.
I like Emily better this season than the other one. She has more of a personality than I thought but we’d still never be real life friends because I have nothing in common with her. We’re totally opposite kinds of females
Haha, same here I think she is adorable this season! I just can’t get enough of coconut, I too, love coconut flour in yogurt SO good!I just started using it in smoothies too, which is quite tasty!
So true about time flying as you get older!
I love all your May faves( well except the mascara- it bugs the hell out of me for some reason). 2 of my favourite May posts of yours, would prooobably be the one yesterday and your Amazing carrot cake granola recipe- well, they were all fantastic actually:).
I never realised about the whole difference in the spelling of the word favourite in the U.S- those guys are crazy over there , haha.
Xxx
Haha. So happy you enjoyed those!
i have a dress addiction!!! ok, i have a bcbg addiction. gah. help me.
I agree on that one! And also an online shopping addiction, it gets bad this time of year
I’m with you on the dress addiction! It’s all I wear
Love the beautiful turquoise color and the flow of that dress
Same, its so pretty. I get so mad when I wake up and its raining and I realize I can’t wear a dress that day. Haha, just a little over dramatic
The hot milk with nut butter sounds like YUM!
It’s definitely pretty amazing
OMG! CUTEEEE dress
I have never tried coconut oil. I am so intrigued by it. Can you enlighten me?
You have got to get yourself some! It tastes like heaven, seriously, when you cook with it it has a really light, and only slight coconut taste to it, and it can withstand really high heats so you don’t need to worry about its nutrition getting lost when its cooked with.
I love the dress you chose! So adorable. And your coffee mug is so cute. Of course your fave Starbucks is there
Haha, typical
I love Emily this season, too! I wasn’t sure I would but she has won me over.
Pumpkin is so GOOD but for some reason I only seem to eat it in the Fall which is just silly. I think I will pick up a can at the store this weekend!
I’m definitely a fan this season as well! I know, I always think of it as a fall food, but now I just can’t get enough of it!
Okay, we need to be best friends. I adore each and every single item you posted. For real, we are the same person haha. I am hooked on the bachelorette this season! Also, pumpkin and I are back on hardcore. I had to take a break from it for a while but now i’m back to using it in everything!
Haha. Love this. I honestly feel the exact same when I see your posts. I think we like all the same foods! And yay for bachelorette, I can’t wait to see who she ends up with!
Hey now… I care about that extra U! haha it is odd. Anyway, great favorites list you have going on here Lisa! You look so pretty in the picture with the coconut butter, I truly mean that
And yeah that dress with the blue… so gorgeous and just such a lovely summer look!
Pumpkin is good no matter what time of the year it is if you ask me, and you have been making some awesome dishes with it!
Aw, thank you Tessa! You’re so sweet! Haha, I swear every single thing I make has pumpkin in it. A little obsessed much?
I want that dress you posted for my wedding!!!!
If you’re a coconu butter lover you’ve gotta try the peppermint patty recipe I posted! You will adore!
Happy Monday beauty!! xoxoxo
I saved that recipe! And I am definitely planning on making it sometime this week!
Happy Monday to you too!xo
mascara is my favorite product too. i LOVE that diorshow, just wish it wasn’t so darn expensive!!
what a cute dress too!
I know! I hate that its so much money, kills me when I have to pay for it
