Hey guys! So its taken me a while to get to a computer..mainly because where I am staying is not so technologically advanced…lol…I am literally in the mountains…this week has been a lot of running around between getting ready for J’s parents 25th anniversary party..and building a house here…..choosing tiles, choosing wall colours…etc etc … Remember how nervous I was to meet his family?…well they are the most sincere, accommodating and sweetest people ever! They are very affectionate…his uncles and aunts all seem so in love after 15 years plus of marriage…I am really lucky to be a part of this family….or soon to officially be :p ….
As you can tell from the pictures we have been doing some sight seeing…. drinking a LOT of coffee and eating cakes…the lattes here are SO cheap…J and I pay 3 Euros for 2 lattes and 2 cakes!
It has been raining a LOT here … pretty much everyday which makes getting dressed quite difficult…I have been wearing a different variation of the same thing almost everyday (jeans, rain boots, tee and jacket)… we have our first day of sun and I am OVERJOYED! I can actually wear something decent from the two suitcases of clothing that I brought with me!
One last thing….you all know how I also LOVE makeup…even though I may not wear it all the time…I seem to have a “never-ending” collection….well here….the makeup is crazy expensive (which would also explain why a lot of people choose not to wear any)!! I forgot my concealer and had to pay 25 Euros for one! that's about $40 CDN! Drugstore brands here are NOT drugstore prices…a Maybelline mascara that I pay $6 for back home costs 12 Euros here! That's almost $20 CDN…
Anyways, we are going for a drive so I have to run… I am at a tiny little internet cafe that J and I had to SEARCH for….took us about an hour! :s I will be back in a couple of weeks (but hopefully I can squeeze in a few more posts while I am here)! Love you all! XOXOX

I went to Portugal this summer, it was one of my best vacations ever! Enjoy! If you're in Lisbon you have to eat at Kais.
I'm glad to hear you guys are having a great time in Portugal! I love Portugal!
Have fun!
I'm from Belgium and we think these make-up prices are normal. Now that I know, I'm not so happy anymore :)
Oh dear I adore your outfit...Just happened upon your blog and I love it...have been reading through your posts and they're all so fashionable...! Will definitly be back!
Love love love,
