Long Weekender

So happy I have a four day weekend! I started it off by continuing my Mexican food obsession on Thursday evening. The bf and I went to Playa Cabana which is my fave place for Mexican in Toronto. Playa Cabana has been around for 10 months now and is getting a lot of attention because the food is sooo good! Since you need to reserve about two weeks in advance to get a table we usually sit at the bar. Go check it out if you live in T.O.
mmmm fish tacos!
Today has been a nice, sunny day. I started it off with a long walk and brunch. I enjoyed today because I was able to get some boring tasks done (e.g., my taxes) and fit in some time for relaxation. I want to forget the chores part and focus on the relaxation part which included reading, catching up on episodes of New Girl and painting my nails.
You've probably guessed that I love the colour lilac. Since it's Easter this weekend and pastel colours are everywhere I had the urge to paint my nails with this fun, calming colour. I used Essie's lilacism and added some sparkle for a special touch. What do you think?

I have also been enjoying using this beverage dispenser which I have been filling with cucumber flavoured water. I can't wait to use it for lemonade :)
Another update is that we finally got up our chandelier a few weeks ago and are both loving it. Lighting can make such a big difference in any space.
I hope today has been a relaxing day for you and that you had some time for self-care.
Happy long weekend!

Thanks Shauna! It was hard to choose between all the different styles of chandeliers but we are happy with our choice.
