I wanted it to look very natural and I know that’s something @tamedicalspa aims for so I headed to their Pickering location for a little touch up! I’m super happy with the results and have a good amount of movement so the kids can still tell when they’re in trouble 🤨 LOL!

#AD Lately, I’ve been loving a good mocktail! An #AD Lately, I’ve been loving a good mocktail! Anyone else? In the winter months I like adding citrus to my drinks and @sunkistcitrus Blood oranges are my “go to”. They offer a distinct, rich orange taste with a hint of fresh raspberry - *so* delicious! Sunkist® Blood oranges are California-grown and at their pique from December to June so it’s the perfect time to use them in your cocktails, sauces, roast dishes, and desserts! They’re an excellent source of vitamin C, a good source of fiber, folate, and thiamin 🙌🏼 I thought I’d share a very simple mocktail recipe that you can enjoy over family day weekend:

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of Sunkist® Blood oranges - juiced
1/2 cup sparkling water
1 tsp maple syrup
1 sprig of rosemary
(Optional) 1 ounce of vodka. 

Directions:
•Pour the juice of your Sunkist® Blood Orange over ice with sparkling water and maple syrup and gently stir ingredients together
•Garnish with a Sprig of rosemary and sprinkle of fresh SunkistⓇ Blood orange zest
•Enjoy!

    My favorite holiday memory is a Ukranian gift exchange we had with the whole family including my grandparents when I was a teen. I remember my Grandpa just a hoot. I ended up getting his present. It was a wooden toy that when you spun the bottom part of a paddle chickens pecked the board. It was home made. I have treasures that little toy ever since and I will forever have that lovely memory of my Grandparents.

    Followed you both on twitter and instagram. @angelftw1 and @fizzygig, respectively. My favorite Christmas memory is when I was at a tree lot with my family, 4 or 5 years old, and a tree fell off the rack of cut trees and landed on me. To prevent me from getting scared and crying (because I wasn’t injured at all) my parents told me that specific tree must have picked me and we HAD to take it home with us. I named her Isabella. After the holidays were over I received a “post card” from her at “Christmas tree camp”. My dad had cut off a round and written to me as the tree, saying how excited she was to come back to our house next year. I still have that “post card”. 🙂
