There's something about brunch food that just holds a special place in my heart. Something about the time of day and the type of food you eat just also makes it 100 times better than Lunner. But then again, I think it's just the breakfast food part of the mix that really does it for me.

Anyways, lately I've been brunching. Twice. In two days. But then again, if I had the choice and could support my addiction financially, I would probably have brunch every single day.

One of the places I went to was Medina Cafe. I've seen instagram pictures tagged Medina Cafe before, but for some reason it never really sparked my interest enough to go try it out. I honestly didn't even know it was a popular brunch place. I just thought it was just another super popular hipster cafe.

Which really, that's kinda what it is. Just with like food as well.

I didn't realize just HOW popular this place was until we got there and had to wait an hour for a table for two. Crazy right?

Yes it was pretty delicious, but I don't think it's a place that I would frequent.

One , the wait is craaaaazy. I thought Jethro's was bad... this is worst.

Two, it's quite pricey. Our brunch between two people came out to a little over 50 bucks. like WUUUUUUUT.

And I'm not saying the food wasn't good nor worth the money. But I rarely like to splurge on food, and if I'm paying 18 dollars for a dish, it's usually a pasta or something. But for brunch? 18 dollars for a dish? noooo thank you.

Maybe that's just me being stingy though.

I'm definitely also not saying I wouldn't come again. I loved everything about my visit, it's just not somewhere I would regularly visit for brunch.

The picture above this little blurb is of what my friend got. The Fricasée I think it was good. SOOO good. It's a Beef shortrib dish that's marinated in this tomato sauce, with arugula and two fried eggs on top.

I got the Asado, which has got peppers and chimichurri beef on top of a grilled ciabatta, and arugula and onions and peppers on the other piece. And then that little bowl in the middle has a blue potato salad.

I really enjoyed my meal as well, minus the potato salad, but I definitely much preferred his meal. Those short ribs doe,...

For drinks I decided to try their Root Beer Float. It comes with earnest ice cream, but it was only okay. For 7 dollars.. I wasn't impressed.

Their coffee was good though.

The other place I visited was Jethro's. This wasn't my first time at Jethro's. I've come once before when I was still dating my ex. I ordered the exact same thing that I did as the first time I came.

What's most memorable for me about Jethro's is definitely their pancakes. You can either get a half stack which comes with two pancakes, or a full stack which is 4.

Doesn't seem like a lot when you just read about it, but these pancakes aren't your typical pancakes.

These pancakes are the fluffiest, most yummy pancakes you'll ever have.

I mean just LOOOK at how fat and fluffy they are. UNF.

Their honestly the best pancakes I've ever had. I prefer them greatly over the classic thin pancakes that is usually served at breakfast places.

The other dish I ordered (that I order at ever brunch place as long as it's on the menu) is the Eggs Benedict.

I need you guys to understand, I've had a lot of eggs benedicts in my short 19 years of life. I LITERALLY will order it where ever I am as long as it's an option. Like you do not understand my love for eggs bennies.

And I will always order a plain, classic one. No crazy Santa Fe bennie for me, no. I will never change it up LOL. Just a classic bennie for me please.

The eggs bennie at Jethro's is pretty good. I like the ham that they use with it, as well as the fact that the egg is poached just enough so that the yolk is still runny when you cut into it. SO PERFECT. Their hollandaise sauce is also classic and delicious if you were wondering.

I LOVE their potatoes. They are amazing. Some places mess up the potatoes sometimes and it makes me angry because it is an essential part of a eggs benedict dish for me.

Our table full of eggs bennies.

Honestly, I highly recommend you checking out both of these places. Jethro's more so, just because it's a reasonable price for AMMMAZING brunch food. But Medina Cafe as well. Both of them have great vibes to them. Different , but both awesome. and both well worth checking out.

I'll leave both their websites here so you can check them out.

BETWEEN MY FINALS

23:12

I know I haven't blogged in what seems like forever ):

It's finals season and I've just been getting slammed final after final after final.

Luckily I've actually done pretty well in all of my finals , and my last one is tomorrow so I will be FREEEEEE soon, and I promise I will get up some quality blog posts after that.

If you really wanted to see pictures of what I spent the majority of my time doing lately, it would be a million pictures of books, notes, my laptop and a fuckload of coffee.

BUT, who wants to see that. I know I'm sick of that image.

So instead, here's a little update on my life between my finals.

1. I spent a day helping my friend out for her makeup midterm at Blanche Macdonalds. In return, she treated me to getting my nails done ! I haven't had my nails done in a ridiculously long time, so I feel pretty good with my little red claws. It was a pretty damn great day overall, pretty much got pampered all day.

2 + 3 . With no where to go other than out to coffee shops to medicate myself with caffeine, I started to go a little insane. The cure for that? put on make up as if I was going out even when all I was doing that day was studying.

4. I visited the SFU Surrey campus for the first time. Prior to that I had no idea that it was in a mall ! It's soooo damn beautiful.

So all of the above pictures happened in one night. The night started out as a planned girls night. Cathleen, Kimmi and I (shown in the bottom right picture) decided to go out to Nero's and grab some waffles for dessert. And then some how we ended up going to Celebs nightclub for a bit. Hence the pink lighting in that same picture. I was NOT planning to go out that night especially since I had work the next morning. BUT after dropping Kimmi off at home because she needed to get home, Cathleen and I were already in the mood for clubbing sooooo we went to Fortune Sound club . LOL.

That's where the bottom left picture comes into play. One of our friends was DJing there for this event he created called Rap Book Club. He was playing all J.Cole songs that night. And the icing on top of the cake? Mr. Carmack was also playing at fortune, so it ended up being a bomb ass night.

Oh and the dude in the top right picture is my favorite bouncer EVER. His name is Teddy and I adore him.

I promise I'll get some review posts and what not soon !

Love you guys so much,

UPDATED EYEBROW ROUTINE + PICTORIAL !

19:56

I recently decided to splurge on the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade. I mean, it wasn't all that expensive, think it was $25 at my local sephora. But compared to the $3 Essence eyebrow pencil I was using previously.. I think it's quite a jump.

But I decided to pick it up because I decided I needed to branch out and try new things as far as eyebrows go, so this gel, mousse, thing seemed like a good idea.

I have the video posted down below, if you want to watch it, just scroll down a bit, and you'll see it. It's the first one.

The second video I put on here is my old brow routine. And I thought I was just include that one anyways, incase any of you still love and live by eyebrow pencils.

Okay, now for the pictorial !

My first little pictorial! How exciting. This is just me filling them in. None of the setting, or concealor steals that I usually will do after.

1. So this is my natural brow. It's dark mostly, but it has a few space areas.

2. The first line I draw with the Dipbrow is on the bottom of my brow, from where the dark part of my brow starts to where the arch is.

3. Next step is to draw the tail. So this just connects from where I ended off on the first line down to as far as you want your tail to be ! I usually over draw it just a little bit, to make my arch look... archier.. LOL

4. Moving on to the top of my brow. I usually start by taking whatever is left over on the brush and do the same steps as the bottom to kind of lightly trace how I want my arch to be. You should try to follow the natural shape of your brows when doing this. You can over draw it a little bit to make it look a little thicker, or make the arch look curvier, but don't over do it, and don't try changing the shape too much ! After I lightly outline it, I will pick up more product, to solidify that line like you see in the picture.

5. Using whatever is left on the brush, I fill in the gap that is at the end of the brow, making sure it's nice a opaque.

6. Then what I like to do is take my brush and slowly start to blend the colour forward to the front of my brow. Usually, where I first drew those two lines , there will be some extra product, so I just take my brush and feather that colour out towards the front.

7. once again, using whatever is left on your brush, lightly outline where you want the bottom of the front of your brow to end, as well as the top.

8. Turn your brush 90 degrees, so it is facing vertically instead of horizontally, and start to feather that colour closer and closer to the front. But making sure you are using a lighter hand when dealing with the front of your brow.

9. and if you think the front of your brow is a little too dark (it's hard to grasp how light of a hand you need to use sometimes), just take your spooly and feather the colour at the very front out even more, to create that ombre effect.
