My Day of Opulence

Although my morning started off in a medical examination / circus freak way - it soon turned into a glamourous fun filled afternoon with friends.
I was invited to join some wonderful ladies (@SassyGirlCanada, @AyznGurl, @KimberlyHughes, @Zokai and @LisaMcPhee) for High Tea at The Windsor Arms.

I arrived a touch late and was escorted into what can only be described as the Red Room (actually named the Russian Tea Room). The walls were painted a rich red and accented with gold. It felt as if I took a huge step back in time. Although beautiful, it lacked ventilation and I felt as if I was thrusted into menopause! I think I may have preferred to have enjoyed my tea and company in the modern and better ventilated tea room.

Our server left something to be desired but, the scones, tiny rolled sandwiches, preserves, petits fours and tea came in above expectation! We were stuffed silly! The scones were fluffy, the tea had the loveliest hint of chocolate and the sweets, well - I needed a cigarette after cramming them ever so lady-like (not) down my throat.

We laughed, we talked about boys, we scowled at our server and had a wonderful time. When it was time to part ways, I thought it might be fun to stop into my most favourite place... Tiffany & Co.

I felt like a movie star today! It was wonderful! Thank you Sandy, Lisa, Kimberly, Natasha, and Shoreh for a wonderful and glamourous day! Xoxoxoxoxo

Ps. Do you think I walked out of Tiffany & Co. empty handed? HELZ NO! Happy Crashaversary to me.

Brunch Babes

Roughly a month ago (I know this took way too long to post), a few friends and I had brunch at fabulous new French resto - La Societe (Bloor St. East of Avenue Rd.). I have no idea where to start!

The decor is incredible! Dark wood, stained glass domes, marble tables and a 2 lovely patios. (I think the patio on the street level is for those who want to be seen.)

The girls and I started with mimosas (now our staple drink for brunch) and some great conversation. Our server had perfect timing and a wonderful knowledge of the menu.

I had noticed that on their brunch menu (all menus are available on their website) was this awesome sounding French toast with sautéed bananas. I knew I HAD to order it. I haven't had French toast with bananas since I was in Atlantic city, and I just had this feeling La Societe wouldn't let me down.

The meal was great, the company was awesome and the service was incredible! This was one of the best restaurants I've had the pleasure of having brunch at. I highly recommend it.

I should take Bobby... Nah! It just going to be our little secret.

Some Pictures

It's been a while since I've last posted. I'm working on getting some interesting life content up, and it won't likely be ready for a while. In the place of a blog post I'd like to share some pictures.
Enjoy.

How To: Make a Peppermint Mocha At Home

I've been spending a ridiculous amount of money at Starbucks as of late. I should be a shareholder at this rate. It's all due to a very special drink: Peppermint mocha!
I had to find away to save my money and still get my fix. I unfortunately only have a Tassimo Coffee machine at home, how on earth was I going to create a mocha?
I'll tell you how; I purchased some espresso disks, a bottle of peppermint syrup (I purchased the Starbucks syrup, you may prefer the Torani brand) Starbucks mocha powder mix for the syrup and milk!
I do not like the dairy disks available from Tassimo for cappuccinos and lattes. I find it has a gross after-taste.

Now here's how you make your peppermint mocha:
2 squirts of peppermint syrup in your cup
2 squirts of mocha syrup in your cup
Make your Tassimo espresso
Add hot milk (amount may vary according to personal taste, I like at least 8oz)

Stir and TADA!!!! Peppermint mocha at a fraction of the cost!
I'm drinking one right now!

The Best Afternoon Evar :)

Spring cleaning, sunshine, balcony, family and a BBQ! These are the lovely things that I got to enjoy today.
Bobby and I have cleaned the balcony, and the patio furniture, we put up our solar powered patio lights, and we even got to enjoy them for a while!
We cleaned the house and then went to my parents home for a BBQ, really could this day get any better? Well yes it could. Our solar powered lights are working! How awesome!

I love days like today, although there was a lot of work, the pay off was above and beyond my expectations. Just need to be thankful. :)

Woot!
