Everyone, meet delicious skinny snack. Delicious skinny snack, meet everyone. 

Yes, this snack deserved a formal introduction. Because it is that good. I find any time you make something from simple pure ingredients, you really can’t go wrong. I love keeping things simple, in all ways. My style is usually pretty simple, and same with the food that I cook! Occasionally I like to get crazy and mix things up, but usually my motto is ‘less is more.’

So if you can’t already tell, this is simply fresh cantaloupe wrapped in prosciutto and mint leaves. Sooooo simple, and oh so yummy. I like to make this as a snack in the afternoon to tie me over until dinner if I get hungry. That way I don’t end up like a ravenous animal at dinner time lol. 

Enjoy this snack! You won’t just make it once, promise 😉

I found another jumper that fits my outrageously long body!!! This is big news in my world. (Really.) Do you guys remember one of my first posts where I talked about how much of an issue it is to be tall and to find jumpers that fit? Well, here’s another jumper outfit I wore in case you missed it. There is also some more awesome whining about being lanky in the one too. 😉

This jumpsuit is seriously so cute. I love how sheer it is! It will be really nice in the summer. The back of it is basically completely open, which is one of my favourite things about it. I’m not sure why but I am obsessed with anything that has an open back. I think it just looks so glamorous, and can make a relatively simple outfit look very beautiful. 

It has been a gorgeous sunny weekend here in Vancouver! I started my birthday celebrations early this weekend with a big family dinner on Saturday night. It was such a fun night, and I am so glad that I got to spend it with my fam jam! <3

Have a great sunday night my loves!

Another beauty day up the mountain here in Whistler Blackcomb! Just loving all this sun lately :). I am always in such a great mood when it is sunny. Sometimes I really think I should move to California, so I can get sun year round. But the major flaw with that is the lack of mountains to ski on :(. So it looks like it will be Canada for me for a while longer! These photos were taken off the side of a run on 7th Heaven up on Blackcomb, one of my favourite spots to ski for sure.

This week has been crazy busy on my end, I have been prepping lots of awesome stuff for you guys! Today my plan is to just chill out a little bit, and get a good workout in at some point. Hope you are all having a fun week so far!

PARMESAN GARLIC POPCORN

Last night I was watching a movie (it may or may not have been Legally Blonde, because girl power), and got in a real snacky mood. So I decided to throw together my favourite “fancy” popcorn. Yup, fancy popcorn. I love taking really simple things and putting my own twist on them. You would be surprised how much better something can get if you just add your own sparkle to it.

What’s in it:

  • Parmesan cheese
  • Popcorn
  • Garlic powder
  • Mixed Italian herbs
  • Butter

Start by finely grating your parmesan cheese. This is all approximate so if you really like cheese grate lots, and if you don’t just do a little bit (but really, who doesn’t like cheese… that’s just not normal.) Now, pop your popcorn! Once the popcorn is ready to go, melt your butter. And for the love of god just use butter and not margarine, that stuff is nasty. Slowly pour the butter on top of the popcorn, shaking the bowl as you go to make sure it gets nice and even. Take your parmesan cheese and sprinkle it evenly over the popcorn. And finally, do the same with your garlic powder and mixed italian herbs. 

So so yummy! This is such an easy way to “dress up” a really simple snack. This obviously isn’t the healthiest snack ever considering it is covered in butter and cheese, but like I always say life is about balance! If you want the cheesy popcorn, eat the cheesy popcorn! Just not every day lol.

I want to hear what you top your popcorn with! Let me know in the comments below 🙂

BLUE JEAN BABY

… “BLUE JEAN BABY, LA LADYYYY!” (<– Sung exactly like Elton John. Because Elton John is awesome.) I honestly barely understand 90% of the music we listen to these days. Benny and the Jets is just so much better, in every single way. Mainly because there is actual singing, and an actual band, and not just techno beats. Okay anyways that is enough of my random rambling for today. Back to the actual point of this post, my outfit!

Throughout the winter in Vancouver, this is basically my uniform. Almost every single day I wear a pair of comfy jeans (whichever are cleanest/closest lol), an oversized sweater, and some sort of leather boot. It’s easy, I don’t have to think about it, and I like to think that I look semi put-together.

My boots were purchased at a small shop in Milan, where I have actually bought quite a few other pairs of shoes. It is honestly the best store, and the prices are unreal! Can’t actually remember the name but if I am ever in that neck of the woods again I will be sure to take note for you.

The sweater is from Zara, and just guess how much I paid. $20!!!! Yea that’s right, winning. I am such a deal hunter sometimes I think I have a bit of a problem. Sales get me every time.

My sunnies were purchased at a vintage market in Croatia this summer! Even just wearing these sunglasses makes me miss traveling. Maybe it’s time to book a trip soon… hmmmm. *Opens up Expedia to look at flights*

And finally, my jeans are from my fave brand, Citizens of Humanity! They are stretchy, and comfy, and always just seem to fit me right. I love when you find a brand where everything they make seems to fit perfectly! 

Hope you guys all had a great weekend! Lots of love <3
