there's so much to celebrate!

First off, I just want to say HAPPY Canada Day to my fellow Canadian bloggers and readers! I honestly love this country so much and could not be more proud of where I'm from. I will be celebrating this weekend at the cabin with 10 of my bestest pals! 

The last few months have been absolutely amazing, and I am just a walking smile. I cannot believe it's been almost two months since Pete proposed! Time most definitely flies when you're having fun and the most happy excited girl ever. 

I am really trying to take it all in and enjoy every moment right now. There's so much going on, and we always have a jam packed schedule but I wouldn't have it any other way! :)

Here are some fun & exciting things that have been happening lately/are happening soon

+ we booked our wedding venue! (in love!) + set our date! May 28th, 2016

+ we ordered our save the dates, from my favourite place ever: Minted!

+ we asked our bridal party to be part of our special day (they all said yes!)

+ we're heading to the cabin this weekend for a weekend of friendship + fun!

+ i booked an appointment for next week to try on wedding dresses (omg, i know)

+ i did the CN tower edge walk a few weekends ago, craziest thing i've ever done!

+ it's been one year since we moved in to our new cute-as-can-be apartment!

+ we've got a jam packed summer filled with so much fun stuff

Life is really really good, and I hope you agree!

Canada Day "Bloody Maria" with Casamigos!

h  a  p  p  y     s  a  t  u  r  d  a  y   ♥

I hope everyone is have an amazing weekend so far! It's been an awesome one for me so far. This post is actually extra perfect for today since I woke up with a bit of a hangover today (after celebrating pride last night until 3am with my besties!)

Since Canada Day is right around the corner, I really wanted to share a delicious cocktail recipe for you guys to make up at the cottage or by the pool, or when you wake up feeling rough after celebrating! I first learned about Casamigos back in November when I had the pleasure of meeting with Rande Gerber at a private blogger event and learning all about the tequila that him, George Clooney and Mike Meldman created. Read more about it below:

Longtime friends George Clooney, Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman love tequila. On the rocks, by the shot, at times, straight from the bottle. Tequila-filled nights with friends is how Casamigos was born. Our idea was to make the best-tasting, smoothest tequila whose taste didn’t have to be covered up with salt or lime. So we did. The tequila was made just for us. We worked on the creation of Casamigos with our master distiller in Jalisco, Mexico for years, and held many blind tastings until we knew we got it right. We’ve been drinking our tequila with friends and family for over five years now. It was never intended to be released to the public. It’s all we serve at our homes in Mexico, so it’s literally our house tequila. We are delighted that consumers and tequila connoisseurs alike enjoy our award-winning spirit. This is quality you can taste, so raise a glass with our award-winning spirit.

BLOODY MARIA

2 Parts Casamigos Reposado Tequila
1 1/2 Parts Homemade Bloody Mix
Fresh Lime Juice

Combine all ingredients with ice. Garnish with Jerky, Pepperoncini, Olive, & Celery.
