#RevlonxLashes

I’m always excited to qualify for Influenster trials! Most recently, I was sent a complimentary Mega Mutliplier Mascara from Revlon.

Since I’m Asian, I have thin and relatively short eyelashes, so I’m always up for trying new mascaras. This particular mascara has 360 degree tubes that extend lashes for volume and length. I don’t tend to curl my eyelashes (because I’m scared of pulling the few I have out) but this drugstore mascara did a great job of making it appear like I have natural lashes.

It isn’t extremely dramatic but it feels natural. Adding this to my daily rotation of mascaras.

 

Burgers @ Les Trois Garçons

During my Sunday in Quebec City, I stopped by a local burgery (is that a word?) named Les Trois Garçons for lunch. I ordered a burger called Les Charlevoix with double AAA ground beef paties, 1608 and Hercule cheese from Charlevoix, fried and carmelized onions, artisanal bacon and a bourbon BBQ sauce which was so tasty. This burger was perfect and juicy.

I had a drink called The Canadian and it was kind of like an old fashioned with a hint of maple syrup.

There were around 15 burgers on the menu but I only had time to try the one. Guess I’ll have to make it back to Quebec sometime!

Wandering in Old Québec

While I was in Quebec City for Festival d’été,  I used the Sunday morning for exploring the old city, especially Chateau Frontenac. Here are some photos taken during my journey:

What I Ate At Festival d’été

I was in Quebec for two days to attend Festival d’été. I explored food in the city a little bit (which I will post separately), but I did grab some food truck eats at the festival to continue my #tianaeatsfestivals hashtag.

Food trucks are still a relatively new thing in Québec, as they had local bylaws to change before they could have them, so there wasn’t a giant amount of choice. I did snag a bison grilled cheese sandwich from a nomadic truck called SAGA that was delicious.

On the second day, I had some Thai popcorn shrimp from a truck called Food Fighters 504.

It’s fun to see what food truck fare is like in different cities. The lines were super long for all of them. Here’s hoping more come to Quebec soon!

I’m in Quebec for Festival d’été

I’m currently in Quebec for Festival D’été. It’s all sorts of magical. I’m going to spend the day time exploring the city, so I’ll get back at you with more blog posts tomorrow.

For now, you can enjoy this video of P!nk flying over the crowd.

 

I Never Want to Build Ikea Furniture Again


The last week has involved a lot of moving, unpacking and building Ikea furniture. The latter is the most annoying because it involves unpacking enough so that you have space to open the boxes of wood and bolts.

IKEA furniture is definitely a true test of a relationship. Though, I did build most of it alone while Nash was working. The most difficult parts always involved pushing pegs into their pre-drilled holes. Sometimes I swear they don’t fit!

This shelf had hundreds of pegs

The good news is I’m done building all the furniture we bought, so now I can enjoy my new home!

Chefs Plate: Tumeric Coconut Salmon

Our second Chefs Plate meal this week was a tumeric coconut salmon served with green beans and a side of cracked wheat and parsley.

This recipe was easy to follow and now I know the perfect amount of time to cook a piece of salmon. It’s also amazing how flavourful you can make something with a few easy steps.

Chefs Plate: Turkey Taco Salad


We’ve been moving and unpacking all this week so we didn’t really have too much time planning meals and getting groceries. Thankfully, Chefs Plate helped out and the box came to our door step the day we moved in.

Yesterday I cooked a Turkey Taco Salad. All the ingredients were fresh and it was full of flavour. I loved the cilantro sour cream, as well as the spices in the turkey. Plus, it felt like I was eating healthy, in comparison to the takeout I was eating all last week.
