Wii Fit Plus

I got Wii Fit Plus for my birthday and decided to try it out today.  To be quit honest...it was really boring.  I got EA Sports Active a few months ago, and it is WAY better.  It calculated my Wii Fit age, and at first I was at 35, not too bad.  But when I took it 20 minutes later I was at 24...really don't feel like that was a measurement of anything useful!  I REALLY dislike the fact that you have to select a new exercise every time...with the exception of Wii Fit Plus Routines where they choose 3 in a row to target specific areas.  I did 20 minutes of exercise and honestly don't feel a thing.  After 20 minutes of EA Active I am usually a little sweaty and actually tired.  The first time I used it I could barely walk for two days it pushed me so hard.  The exercises are way more user friendly, and now that I have a  balance board, I'm excited to see what else I can do with it as EA was smart enough to utilise the balance board if it is available...
On top of being super boring....the voice of the trainer made me want to kill myself, plus her words of encouragement weren't very varied and she repeated the same things sometimes one after another. I may use it every now and then cause it's nice for a quick workout (I am the laziest human being ever...so 5 minutes of exercise a day is like a miracle)...but I doubt it will be on a regular basis...EA Sports Active is a way better "game." But now I have a balance board to go with it!

Happy Birthday to Me :)

Having the most AMAZING day...which makes up for how terrible yesterday was....
Mother's Day brunch at Culina one of my favorite restaurants...and had some delicious polenta and a passion fruit mimosa! And I got to wear my new purchase from BleuBird Vintage

Then wandered around Costco and bought a lovely herb garden and a little lettuce garden to give me a kick start on my gardening goals this summer...(I have a black thumb when it comes to plants...so anything that can help me out!) Then my mother and I went shopping and I got some lovely new clothes and some pretty necklaces!  

And we finished of the day with some delicious steaks and some angel food cake, strawberries and a TON a whipped cream!

 ...my brother is SO classy hahahaha!  

I hope all you mother's got spoiled as much as I did!  HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!

Hello from Kelowna

So I've decided to stay an extra day in Kelowna to avoid the crazy snow storm that hit Alberta yesterday...I just took off my snow tires, and really didn't want to end my vacation in the ditch.  It's been a lovely vacation but I am enjoying my last day of piece and quiet as my brother and his friends took of today to make the most of the snow and get in one last day of skiing before summer.  

My little brother and I went on a ton of adventures, including about 5 rounds of mini golf, and a ton of go-karting!  And he wanted to go swimming in the lake, but after getting his feet wet we decided it might be a little chilly....

But the best of my adventures was roaming around downtown by myself yesterday and getting in a little shopping.  I found this cute little home store...and they had the CUTEST cards...so I bought 5...I have a serious stationary problem.  I also bought some delicious tea, can't wait to taste it.  Everything in the store was beautiful.  You can check out Olive & Elle Boutique here

...I start finals next week and have spent the last week stressing and trying to get all my note writing done....I didn't know you could actually lose your mind while trying to learn....I hope I make it out alive....eeeeeeeeeeek

 but hopefully.......

 Wish me luck!!!!!

Gardening made perdy :)

So I was cruising around Etsy, and came across the most adorable garden markers...

I've decided to plant a garden this year, starting small...just herbs and some tomatoes..maybe some green onions.  See how much I kill before I proceed....kinda have a bit of a black thumb

They are so adorable!!!
