Things I’m Loving

One of my favourite ice sculptures from the Ottawa Winterlude festival. The weather had warmed up slightly last week so sadly a lot of the sculptures had melted and collapsed. 

Exploring Chinatown in Ottawa for the first time, we’ll definitely be back to try out some of the restaurants and grab a bubbletea when the weather gets warmer. We also found some great street art which you can check out on my Instagram account.

Usually I make the small, fat, ‘American style’ pancakes throughout the year, but when Shrove Tuesday comes around I prefer to make them crepe style with lemon and sugar which makes it feel more like a treat.  

I saw this make up bag on the ASOS website a couple of weeks ago and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It’s by a brand called Skinnydip which I love, I think it’s so fun, plus the Pom Pom is detachable so perfect to put on your handbag. So when ASOS sent me a 10% off code for my birthday of course I went and ordered it, I’m really excited for it to arrive this week. 

I love it when small independent shops make an effort to be creative with their window displays. This is a card shop down the road from me called The Village Quire.

Winterlude

Today we headed down to Confederation Park in Ottawa to celebrate winter time in the capital. We got the chance to see some impressive ice sculptures and I tasted my first Beaver Tail (a fried dough pastry), I had mine with cinnamon sugar and it was delicious, I’ll definitely be having one again.
