Seductive Life

Life lately is great. Really really great! You know when you just reflect on your life and you think "Wow, I'm so happy right now!", well that's how I'm feeling lately!! 

This past weekend was Easter, and Trent and I did Easter-y things like Easter baskets...

Easter egg hunts...

Blowing bubbles...

Making silly faces...

And cute ones...

And exploring new places!

What did you get up to this lovely long weekend?

Easter Egg Painting!

I'm a giant kid when it comes to holidays. I love Christmas, Halloween, Birthdays, Easter!! Anything I can celebrate I will. And I don't just enjoy the day, I celebrate hard! I can't wait to someday have kids of my own to pass on all of my family holiday traditions. For now I'll just pass on my holiday spirit to my new family of Australians!

  

Every year in my house we paint Easter eggs, but seeing as I'm on the other side of the world this year I decided to paint eggs here. Apparently white eggs do not exist in Australia. Go figure. Brown eggs are a lot more difficult to dye so we had a little bit more fun than usual with sharpies and paint trying to be creative!

For this one we cracked the outside of the shell and then poured a mix of blue and red food colouring over top of it. Peel off the shell and abracadabra dragon eggs!

These eggs are ceramic so we painted on them with some water based paints. Trent drew me Australia (sometimes I draw it funny) and I went from there!

Two of my favourite people! :)

Trent was so opposed to painting eggs but eventually got into it, he's a big kid just like me!

We seem to have this issue, every time I look good in a picture he doesn't!

Not the most creative eggs or the most Pinterest worthy, but we had so much fun doing it!

I love Easter and I had so much fun decorating eggs!

Do you have any Easter traditions? Did you decorate eggs this year?

Life's Little Wisdoms

One of my biggest insecurities is people staring at me. Which doesn't make sense, at all. I love being the center of attention, I love public speaking, preforming, and generally capturing the attention of everyone around me.

Which is exactly why I need a blog - I talk too much!

But I read this quote, and it's completely true. No matter what I wear, what I do people are going to stare. They'll stare for me being too quiet, too loud, or too proud. Why not give them something to look at! Besides, if someone cares that much about how I look, they really don't matter, do they?

Bits and Pieces

This week has been so busy! Between school and work and Easter and my new camera, I've started to neglect myself. Which means, of course, I've gotten sick. Strep throat. Woooohooooo. Just in time for exams.

So here's some bits and pieces from my camera this week:

Pretty Flowers for my momma.

A food truck, Blue Donkey Streatery came to our school this week, and we had some excellent Greek street food. Chelsea and I loved stuffing our faces. Oh, the perks of being a culinary student!

Yummiest chicken gyro I've ever had! They put fries inside their wraps. Yum. I'm hungry just thinking about it.

Carrot cake cupcakes with maple cinnamon cream cheese frosting. Again. Yum. And aren't these the cutest plates? 

Cadbury Cream egg brownies on another cool plate - I actually never tried these. Because (sorry goo fans!) I really don't like cream eggs!

Me, Momma and Daddy on Easter Sunday. Love them so much <3

Easter egg hunts, it's a family tradition that'll never get old. :)

Yum, chocolate covered peeps in the sunlight. Sparkle, baby. Sparkle!

Food truck food lab - root beer pulled chicken on 7up buns and gingerale relish. Just one of the  9 dishes we made, all featuring some sort of pop as the star ingredient.

Cool picture featuring cream soda white chocolate dipping sauce for our orange crush pop rock churros!

L-R, Steve, Joe, Me, Chelsea, and Taewon in the front. My favourite culinary crew!

What has your week been like? Full of as much food as mine?
