city & colour

I'd have to say city & colour is more than likely my top musician just because his music has gotten me through so much shit that has happened in my life and kept me going. His sound is perfect and raw and emotional and I love it PLUS he's a genuinely nice/chill dude. I got the chance to meet him at a bar this summer while he was hanging with his friends post concert and he was so lovely.

Blog Challenge: Day 8 and Day 9!

sorry i'm such a slack, I put off blogging to get drunk. whoops. 

8. A song and photo to match your mood

THIS IS THE HARDEST THING EVER. I'm honestly in the most average mood and I'm not the type to listen to average music so I'm stumped. 

*searches itunes song list*

*finds christmas songs*

*gets excited about christmas*

okay, okay. SO. Andrew Belle - Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. 

I am in LOVE with his version, something about it is so calming and beautiful to me. 

I love guinea pigs..

9. A photo of the item you last purchased.

I don't think that I can squeeze in ALL the items of my grocery trip today so I'll just put in my favourite. 

YASSSSS 

Blog Challenge: Day Seven!

Your Dream Wedding. 

To be completely honest I haven't put a whole lot of thought into this. I mean, yeah, I have a pinterest board with pretty pictures and what not but I don't really know what I want. I think that I would simply be happy with an event where I feel like a queen with her new king. Somewhere where everyone is getting along - two families merging for the rest of their lives. I want the room to be so filled with happiness that you care barely stand it. That's my dream. 

Also here are some pretty pictures from that pinterest board.

Blog Challenge: Day 6!

A photo of an animal you'd love to keep a pet.

This one is so incredibly easy. I went to visit my boyfriend while he was staying with his father in North Carolina this summer and I got the chance to go to this really amazing exotic zoo (don't worry everything was regulation, the animals got lots of love and space to play) and we had the pleasure of actually being able to view and hold a few really cool animals. I held lemurs, a kinkajou, a baby tiger, a baby kangaroo, and a baby lion. All of them were adorable and so much fun to play with. However, the kinkajou was hands down my FAVOURITE. If you don't know what a kinkajou is it sort of looks like a cross between a lemur and a ferret that's brown. They love love LOVE attention and cuddles and they're nocturnal. As much as I would love to have one as a pet, I would much rather they live their lives out in the wild where they should be.

 

Kyle and I quickly fell in love with it.

SO FREAKING CUTE

Blog Challenge: Day Five!

A photo of yourself two years ago

*cringe*

Hannah and I (I'm on the right). 

I think the weirdest thing about this photo is that I look almost the exact same besides the hair colour and awful eyebrows. Oh well.

Lord of Misrule Bath Ballistic

Lord of Misrule. 

This is one of the Halloween edition from LUSH. I picked it up thinking that it was a Christmas one do to all of it's festive colours and cute little crown on top. Once I realized it was a Halloween one I figured I would just pretend it was for Christmas.

The smell is absolutely lovely, it's got a sweet smell to it without being too over powering like the snow fairy scent (which I personally find makes me gag). It's made with patchouli and black pepper oils but don't let that throw you off. 

 After plopping it into the bath I was a little worried that the deep burgundy colour seeping from the middle would dye my skin (I had stuck a finger in the middle and it turned it red but with some scrubbing it came off). Luckily it didn't! 

My absolute favourite thing about this bath bomb is how lovely it made my skin feel, I came out feeling as though I had been moisturized in the most beautiful scent from head to toe! 

Not sure if it's strange to put up a picture of the water after but I was just in love with the colour, it felt as though I had just stepped out of a bath in the most lovely rosé wine. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to try LUSH products. I was so pleased!

Challenges

Ok. So...I'm going to do this thing.
I will hopefully succeed at this thing.
No promises though.

It's the 30 day blog challenge! Not sure why I made it sound so serious, guess I wanted a little mystery in my life.

I'm taking this from Renee at losetheroad.blogspot.ca, a gorgeous lady from the other-side-o-canada. Go check her out!

So. Beginning with day 1. 

This is me. Excuse the yellow tinged teeth, gotta work on that. 

My day was really great, did the 1.5 hour commute to school and back which was surprisingly pleasant both ways, had a yummy coffee, ate a cheeky cookie, saw my loverly boyfriend Kyle and relaxed watching christmas movies :) I think i'll go have a bath with my Lord of Misrule bath bomb. 

(You can check the video for more info about LUSH products that I use on my youtube channel, www.youtube.com/haleypetkau)

thanks for the read, until tomorrow xx
