boots – Classic Maggie

Happy Black Friday all! I hope those in the US enjoyed Thanksgiving with your famillies and friends and those in Canada enjoyed a regular Thursday. And today I hope you’re successful in fighting the masses at the Black Friday sales!

I bought these Lucky Brand boots a few weeks ago and I looooovve them! I ended up exchanging the Marc Fisher ones I bought a month ago as they just weren’t me. These ones though – I wear them with everything and anything.

This is seriously the best salsa ever. I discovered it a few years ago at a local craft fair and I ordered a case of it. I can literally eat an entire jar in one sitting.

Need some budget-friendly and homemade gift ideas? This list of 30 days of edible gifts has some seriously delicious inspiration, such as chocolate-covered bacon (yes please!).

I’ve discovered my new favourite, go-to t-shirt! Lightweight, soft and a relaxed fit while still figure-flattering. And currently 50% off! Thank you Gap!

Do you follow The Small Things Blog? I discovered her years ago and I’ve been a loyal follower ever since. I really like this recent hair tutorial she did. She always makes them look so easy but I might actually give this one a try for those rare days when I skip my contacts.

I wish you a wonderful weekend!

Ok….I know it’s Saturday morning and I’m just posting this but ugh I did not have a good week at all! It was just one of those weeks that no matter what I did, nothing went right. I was also extremely busy at work and every time I got 3 things done, another 5 requests come in. Plus I found people really SNARKY this week. So, I’m just really glad its over and I’m hoping next week will be better!

I bought these Marc Fisher boots @ Winners this week and I’m trying to decide if I like them. They go against everything I’ve ever bought in the past – chunky sole, low heel, mid-calf. I could see myself wearing them with leggings and jeans but I’m not sure anything else so I’m not sure they are worth keeping. They seem pretty comfortable though. #decisionsdecisions

I liked this PopSugar article that gives some good tips about using your Beauty Blender properly. Confession: I bought my first real Beauty Blender earlier this year and it’s still going strong. Until it rips or tears I have no plans on replacing it. So far I’m definitely finding it worth the investment!

I think one of the best things ever is when a good restaurant opens close to your home. There’s a Cactus Club Cafe opening within a 10 minute drive of my house and I cannot wait for them to open. They make a fantastic Bellini and Short Rib Sandwich. Also don’t get me started on their Peanut Butter Crunch Bar for dessert. So good!

This feels like kind of a weird thing to share on here but I have to do it because it’s pretty much one of the best kitchen tools ever! I cooked a turkey last week for Thanksgiving and I used this Silicone Poultry Lacer to tie up my turkey. I’m not sure I can go back to making a turkey without one of these things! So much easier than using string or pins and once the turkey is cooked, you just pop it in the dishwasher to clean and it’s ready to use next time. I got mine last year @ Homesense for five or six bucks I believe but I would pay full price for it!

Have a great weekend and thanks for reading!
