what’s going on with me…
Last week we were on vacation in Mexico which already seems like a lifetime ago. We stayed in Cancun at the Excellence Playa Mujeres resort – it’s the best all-inclusive resort I’ve ever stayed at. I hope to have a review up next week!
have you seen/tried/heard?…
The weather this weekend is looking promising (after a crazy storm on Wednesday) so I think I’m going to give this bbq ribs recipe a whirl. I’ve never made ribs before so I’m bit intimidated by them.
I don’t follow the Royals much but I really loved Pippa’s wedding dress – I thought she looked beautiful! I thought Kate’s dress was kinda meh though.
I rarely drink coffee but when I do it’s iced. I had a Toasted Coconut Cold Brew from Starbucks yesterday and I was disappointed. It tasted like plain coffee – no coconut flavour whatsoever. I’ll stick to the Sweet Cream Cold Brew (which is delicious btw!).
Is using sheet masks on flights now a thing? I watched a vlog this week where this was a thing that happened and I was puzzled. My skin dries out on flights too but it seems a little…excessive? Maybe it’s just me? I don’t know.
recent purchases…
In my never-ending and exhausting quest for the perfect mascara, I tried this Maybelline one and it actually really impressed me. Might just be my new favourite!
I needed some new shorts so I picked up a couple pairs of these from Old Navy. So far I like them – they’re a good rise (not too high but not too low) and they haven’t stretched out (totally expected them to).
I bought these makeup removing wipes because I heard they were good…but in my opinion they’re really not good at all. They are so strongly scented that I used two of them and threw them in my stash of “makeup remover wipes I use to wipe down my makeup desk/remove swatches”. I’m just going to stick to the ones in the blue package (which work really well and don’t reek!).
I love my Coursa sneakers so much that I decided I needed another pair of Keds in my life; I picked up the Chillax slip-ons and so far – loving them. So easy to slip on and off and they’re extremely comfortable!
currently coveting…
Emily Noel did a review of these Viseart palettes and now I really want one. They look like they’d be perfect for travel. That $60 price tag though…
Adorable! Completely impractical, but adorable!
These look insanely delicious! Superstore always has the best frozen desserts.
Why is it so hard to find cute, comfy pajama sets? I don’t want ones with cartoon characters on them nor do I want ones with shorts that might as well be underwear. I like this set but they are on clearance for $75?! Who pays that for pjs?
How pretty are these Ciate blushes? The design is adorable!
Omg this cheesecake! Do we have fruity pebbles in Canada? I don’t know but I really want to make this!

Sheet mask on a flight? I think that’s a little too much but I guess whatever works lol
prettyrufflife says
Weird right? Thanks for stopping by!
Polished and Inspired says
Haha, I also just watched a vlog this week where the girl put on a sheet mask on the plane. Sooo weird. I would feel so self-conscious. A clear face mask, sure. A sheet mask? Nope!
Ooh, every girl needs those magnetic falsies in their life! Applying falsies is such a struggle.
I love both wedding dresses, but now that I look back at it, the bottom of Kate Middleton’s is more plain than I remember it being. I like the top more though.
Those Ciate blushes are a beauty to look at!
prettyrufflife says
Hmmm I bet it was the same vlog! Super weird!
Yah I cannot apply falsies – I want to try the magnetic ones so bad!
Thank you for reading!

I enjoyed looking at all your IG photos of your trip. I’ve never been to Mexico and I’m wary of going…
I saw a review from Tati on the magnetic false lashes – total FAIL!
prettyrufflife says
Ok now I think I’m remembering Tati trying these out…I need to search for that video. Sometimes she doesn’t always follow instructions though…
Why are you wary of going to Mexico? I always feel a little leery going to and from the airport but once I’m at the resort I feel completely safe. 🙂
