We headed out quite late, but wanted lunch at this yummy Korean restaurant in DT. We ended up missing our turn ... and headed straight towards the bridge to West Van... we were starving by this point, so we decided to shake it off and grab lunch at Park Royal. Hadn't been at Park Royal since...the last time we got lost and accidentally ended up there.
We were desperate for food in our stomachs and headed to the food court for a bite. I had Orange Julius - $9.00 for a hot dog and a smoothie... Oh dearie me... I wish I had ordered something else! The flavour sounded tasty...but it just wasn't to my liking :( The bf went for a safer choice - KFC, both our meals were cold... >.<
After our quick and unsatisfying meal - we walked around Park Royal for a bit. The mall is expanding like crazy!!! They actually have a Lush, Anthropologie, and soon to be Sephora and Loft there! Crazy! Plus... Aritzia is getting better (it's about time!) It's going to be a great mall once it's all ready!
This was us camwhoring in the car lol (while parked, of course)
Fast forward to the evening - the boyfriend had told me prior to the day, that we would be dining at Seasons - he wanted to celebrate my birthday early this year. (Candlelight dinner - which I didn't believe at first... because we have never done anything of the sort haha) Come 8pm, we walked into the restaurant and he goes, "We already have a table"
...
Our glammed up friends were eagerly waiting for us! What a surprise and shocker! hehe ~ what a great night it was :)
The bf really wanted to get a light for his new ADA tank, and so we went to check it out!
We were in luck - because they had one left in stock! It's a shame that I haven't gotten to see the tank in person yet, but I'm loving the pictures and videos that the bf sends me on a daily basis! We love Aquariums West, they are well-organized, stocked, and their employees are honest and knowledgeable. Plus - they are the only ones in Vancouver that sell ADA products!
ADA stands for - 'Aqua Design Amano'
The specialize in producing amazing aquariums that cater to those looking to unleash their inner-designer. You decide how to layout your aquarium - where to place your deco, plants, etc. Here are some examples of layouts that others have created:

This video shows the final product of a tank that was created by Amano and his team - interesting to see how it all comes in place :)
I'm sure my boyfriend won't mind me sharing his picture... I can't get over how pretty his aquarium is!! Oh.. and currently, there is a cute little white betta living in his aquarium. He is quite the character - very curious and full of energy.

Okay, so a few weeks ago, I had made a promise to myself to be a better person - rather make some changes to my 'blah' self. Hence - here are some of the things that I would like to achieve!
1) Make time for the gym (TOP priority)
2) Moisturize over and over again - body cream/hand cream
3) Sleep early
4) Drink (more) water
5) Drink less of sweet drinks (Like my beloved Vita Lemon Tea T_T this is going to be a hard one)
6) Make time for DIY projects
7) Maintain a soothing living space (props to my bf for making it this way!)
8) Take more photos to capture moments that cannot be re-lived
9) Blog regularly
Well-being in life is so important - sometimes we tend to be super sucked into what's in front of us... that we forget to step back and enjoy the little simple things that keep us sane.
Well, that's it for tonight! ❤
