Oh hullo there 
1. First and foremost, Happy Birthday to my favourite Sprinkle! Make sure you head on over to Samās blog and wish her a happy birthday. I had the pleasure of meeting this girl at HLS, and sheās just as wonderful in person as she is on her blog ā so go tell her that!
2. My life is complete. Remember my pig and cow mugs? I finally came across the last mug in the series. Say hello to my little sheep:
3. This may go down as the strangest thing Iāve ever had in my purseā¦
A lemon. Why did I have a lemon in my purse? Because I āborrowedā it [with no plans on giving it back] from my mom when I made a pit stop at my parentsā house the other day for a recipe I wanted to make. Only this isnāt a recipe for your belly ā itās for your faceā¦
4. Using half a lemon, squeeze out the juice into a small bowl. Add 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil, and 1/2 Tbsp. of honey. Mix, mix, mix, and what youāre left with is my favourite DIY face mask/scrub.
I canāt even tell you how amazing this mask isā¦ The lemon helps even out skin tone and tighten pores; the sugar acts as an exfoliator and removes dead skin cells; the honey helps hydrate, heal, and remove impurities; and the olive oil acts as a natural moisturizer. I use this mask about once or twice a week and itās made a huge difference in my skin. All you do is gently rub it on a freshly cleansed face, let it sit for 15-20 minutes, and then wash it off with warm water. Your skin will feel amazingly soft afterwards, and youāll notice a lot of improvements in tone with regular use.
5. While weāre on the topic of recipes, youāll have to allow me a minute to gloatā¦ Remember my Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal Bars? Theyāve officially become my most popular recipe with over 2k pins and a feature on Greatist. Happy dance? You betcha 
6. Oh, and a good handful of people asked about the recipe for the cheesy quinoa dish I showed in yesterdayās WIAW. Itās really simple ā I just cooked up a batch of quinoa like normal and stirred in some shredded cheese towards the end when all the water was absorbed. Easy peasy. Iāve also tried mixing in a few wedges of Laughing Cow before, and that works quite nicely as well.
7. Thereās been some road construction going on outside my home for the past week or so, and Iāve been having the strangest urge to bake some cookies or muffins and share āem with the workers. Is that weird? Do people still do that? I have no problem pawning off my baked goods to people I work with, but strangers? Thatād feel a bit odd.
8. You know what else feels odd? The fact that itās late October and weāve been enjoying temps in the double digits (high 40ās to high 50ās for you Americans). Here. In Edmonton. Iām pretty sure we already had snow at this time last year, so this is kind of a big deal. And now that Iāve said that, watch it snowā¦
9. Another funny video this week, this time for my fellow Game of Thrones lovers. And even if youāre not a fan of GoT, please, please do yourself a favour and watch this take on bad lip reading ā I was literally in tears.

10. And because no post is complete without a little bit of randomnessā¦
1. I canāt even come up with an idea as to why that would be 
2. That sounds both glorious and extremely uncomfortable at the same timeā¦
3. Soā¦ if you hold up a picture yourself in the mirror, itāll look better?
4. Confession: I am sometimes among those 99%ā¦ and donāt act like you arenāt!
5. Ohhh The Simpsons. Definitely a teenage favourite.
Have a happy Thursday!
. ā . ā . ā .
Whatās your weather like? Warm and fallish, or getting cold?
Do you have any favourite at-home beauty treatments?
Be honest: Do you ever type LOL with a completely straight face?!?
First time to visit your blogā¦.what a cool blog
Thanks!
