i'm waking up to ash & dust

♪♫ Radioactive - Imagine Dragons

Hey! How is everyone? I feel like its been a while... again. Trying to keep up with regular blogging can be a struggle. I wish I could blog every few days like I used to! Anyways, I've been busy doing lots of fun stuff since my last blog. I went with my family to a place called Fisherman's Cove here in Nova Scotia. My family usually goes at least a few times during the summer. Its right outside of town, so its not too hard to get to. We had ice cream, looked around in the little shops, then walked along the boardwalk. My family also had a BBQ, which was great. I got to go for some nice walks, including one to the public gardens, where I seen their cacti collection. Also, I went out drinking with coworkers and it was a ton of fun! I definitely needed it. I want to do it again in September, but this time I think we'll have a house party instead of going to bars, because its much cheaper.


I also touched up the blue in my hair! I didn't dilute the blue dye as much as I did last time, so it seems to be rubbing off on everything now. I washed it twice in the 24 hours after dyeing it, but its still rubbing off on everything! Ugh! I have to lay a towel down over my pillow at night just to prevent my hair from staining it. I'm hoping a few more washes and it will stop getting on everything. I'm also thinking that in a few months, I may switch the color to purple or maybe a forest green.


I have been obsessed with iced coffee lately. A couple weeks ago, I ordered a meal from McDonald's via UberEats and they messed up my order, so I ended up getting someone's coffee. They let my keep the meal for free, so I just placed the coffee in the fridge and brought it to work that night, where I added ice cubes to it. It was amazing! I remember drinking a lot of iced coffee last summer, but I guess I had forgotten how good it is. Anyways, I wanted to make a bit of a healthier version, so I came up with my own recipe and oh my fuck is it ever good! Its 1 + 1/3 cups of hot water (or 350 ml), 2 tsps of instant coffee, 2 packets of stevia, almost a quarter cup (or 50 ml) of Silk Almond For Coffee (Hazelnut flavor). Then I just let it cool, place it in the fridge and add 3 small ice cubes when I'm ready to have it! My version is only about 90 calories (most coffees are over 200 calories). My version is also dairy free and vegan!


I've made some purchases lately; 3 DVDs and 1 VHS tape from a local thrift shop, a string of faux blue roses, a '70s coffee table book about cacti, magnetic eyelashes and a new eye mask for sleep. I'm really excited for the magnetic eyelashes. I've always been self conscience of my eyelashes and wanted bigger/darker ones. I considered getting eyelash extensions, but I figured that I'd try out magnetic eyelashes first to see if it looks good on me. Plus its 1/3 of the price of eyelash extensions. I can't wait to try them!


The only other two things are; I have a tattoo appointment in a couple weeks and I got air conditioning in my house now! I don't remember if I discussed the tattoo or not, but its going to be a David Lynch themed tattoo and I'm very excited! I will be getting many more tattoos, its all a matter of time and deciding what I want. I think I'll get my next one close to my birthday in December. Anyways, I'm going to relax for the rest of the day. I recently got into The Umbrella Academy, so I'm going to finish watching season 2, then maybe watch a horror movie. I hope everyone is well!

  2. I love Fisherman's Cove! We used to go to the boardwalk all the time and I used to work in one of the little shops back in my early 20's. I start school in the city 2 days a week this fall and will have to go for a walk there again. I am glad you got to enjoy it with your family. I love your hair. You did a great job re-touching it up! I am curious about magnetic eyelashes.. how does that work?
