Bath time in the laps of luxury, well sort of. OK, so my only luxury is this.
This gorgeous
Cath Kidston bubble bath that I got for Christmas from my best friend! In fact all my U.K. Christmas parcels contained some
Cath Kidston stuff, oh my friends know me so well! As for the rest of the bathroom it doesn't have any luxury in it at all. More like small, dark and dated. It has been on the chopping block for the better part of a year but still it sits untouched. I keep telling myself we are going to get it done soon but it keeps falling down the list. And you know when you're going to rip something out, you kind of think well, there is no point in doing a really good clean, cause it's going to be ripped out soon anyway. Yeah. After a year it makes your already ugly bathroom covered in pretty orange and black mold. Nice! Also our bathtub is one of those really cheap shallow builder grade baths. So when you lie in it you you have to contort your body so that any body part below your neck has to be touching the bottom of the bath for max water coverage and less chance of hypothermia. But despite it's many pitfalls, I still love taking baths, I just can't wait till we get this
reno done!
So when I emerge from my lovely bath looking more like a lobster then a human, a little post bath foot care is in order. Lotions and red nail polish, my absolute favorite. I wish I could wear nail polish on my fingers but work makes it impossible, it just chips and my hands always have ground in dirt on them anyway(yep, it's embarrassing but part and parcel of the job). Toes on the other hand(pun intended) are fair game and I kind of like having a little sexy secret under many layers of thick socks and warm boots. I think that red nail polish is sexy and glamours and it makes me feel feminine and pretty in these Canadian winter months when layers and layers of clothes are required to stay warm.
Here they are in all their sexy red glory!
I don't like feet, especially mine but I thought I'd post this anyway. Hope you're not too grossed out, and they were just scrubbed clean!
I did not feel like cooking dinner last night. So an impromptu winter picnic was conceived. My other half and I picked up an already roasted chicken, salad, pita bread and beer on the way home and dinner was almost on the table! Got out some dips for the pitas, dressing for the salad, some impulse cherries that I got the other day(who buys impulse cherries??? me apparently) and the all important salt and vinegar chips(a must have for picnic). I placed a checkered table cloth on the coffee table(a blanket on the floor would have been more apropos but drooling dogs standing over you the whole time would have kind of ruined the moment), cracked open some beers and dinner was served. It was delicious!
I must confess that we eat most of our dinners at the coffee table, not that we don't have a dinning table but after years of apartment living with no dinning table it's a hard habit to break! This is not something I'm proud of that we watch T.V. while eating dinner, but I'm pretty sure I am not the only one. Also the table is usually covered in craft projects. Opps...
Then we spent the night lounging! Our dogs are not suppose to be on the couch but as you can see they take this rule very seriously. NOT! It's our own fault I know but they are darn cute!
This lovely ladyhttp://kirstyfish.blogspot.com/ blogged about her lovely crockery and invited others to do the same. So here some of mine. This only scratches the surface as my husband will attest to. I think I may have a problem...
Not crockery but some lovely glass wear, love my cinzano ladies.
I think the pink lady looks a bit like a man dressed up like a woman. I love her anyway even if she is a man.
I baking a lemon souffle pudding with these babies, will let you know tomorrow how they turn out.
A pretty in pink teapot.
This lovely book, with great ideas. Printed in 1964, it's full of 60's fun.
Sheets, to be recycled into quilts.
A rare find of matching embroidered pillow cases.
Bread punching, the best stress reliever!
I also baked some lemon and pistachio biscotti.
