Happy (err… Can Monday even be described like that?) Monday!
My college starts back up today, which means more late nights in labs and endless amounts of studying. However, it also means that I’m reunited with some of my best friends and get to enjoy a few weeks of an easier course load before my midterms are here.Guess there’s a silver lining in everything- including Mondays!
Which brings us to today’s post: another rendition of Marvelous in My Monday!
Marvelous is date night!
Kyle and I spent Friday night at a fancy restaurant by the pier called The Lobster. While neither of ordered lobster, we both really enjoyed our meal and getting to spend some quality time together. It’s always nice to dress up a bit and enjoy a romantic getaway, even if it’s just for a dinner date!
Marvelous is good food.
Nuff’ said. Drool.
Marvelous is cute new cooking accessories!
Kyle’s mom got me an adorable cookie stamp as part of her Christmas gift to me. Along with that, Kyle got me the cutest set of measuring spoons from a small store in a town nearby to where we went skiing. Useful and the perfect prop to my food photography!
I know this was a brief, picture-filled post, but I need to get some rest!
Hope you have a marvelous Monday lovelies!
Danielle @ Green is the New Black says
That cookie stamp and the measuring spoons are absolutely adorable! Glad you had a nice night out for date night! Good luck back at school today.
Christine Skari says
Thanks, Danielle! It was a pretty good day overall :). Just need to get back into the swing of things!
Jessie says
I’ve been meaning to tell you that I’m loving your lip color. What brand/color is it ?
Christine Skari says
Thanks so much! I LOVE it! It’s from the Just Bitten series by Revlon, I can’t remember the exact color (forgot it back at my parent’s home ), but it’s one of the redder ones. The color stays on forever and you don’t even notice it’s on.
Kim @ BusyBod says
Love your dress from date night, so cute! Back to school is always a double edged sward, good luck with the new semester
Christine Skari says
Thanks, Kim! I scored it at H&M for a steal ;).
Katie says
Drool for sure, all the food pics on here look amazing!
You looked gorgeous for date night too 😉
Happy week ahead, thanks for linking up!
Christine Skari says
Thanks so much Katie! Love your link-up and look forward to it every week 😀
Davida @ The Healthy Maven says
I’m obsessing over that cookie stamp! But I also wouldn’t mind a huge plate of those fries! Have a good day back at school. Back to the grind for me too!
Christine Skari says
Isn’t it adorable?! I can’t wait to get started on some sugar cookies so I can stamp em’ out :D.
Good luck!
Autumn Wieland says
Im just gonna say that you can wear a dress like a rock star! i wish they looked the great on me!
Christine Skari says
Aww thanks so much! That comment made me smile hah :D. Definitely one of my new favorite dresses! I’m sure it would look GREAT on you! It’s super flattering!
Sarah @pickyrunner says
I can’t believe you’re back at school! I don’t start for another 3 weeks! The picture of you and Kyle is gorgeous- love that you guys have a date night where you dress up
Christine Skari says
UGH I’m so jealous!! I’m on the quarter system, so we get out a bit earlier and get back to work earlier as well. I can’t believe you still have 3 whole weeks though! CRAZY!!
Thanks so much :D. I love em too haha 😉
Jamie @ Sometimes Healthy Living Blog says
Aww I just love how Kyle supports your blogging! I just think it’s so important and meaningful when your significant other supports something that you are passionate about
I have noticed the measuring spoons in your pictures and think they are beautiful!
Christine Skari says
He’s the sweetest and definitely my blog’s #1 fan haha! Honestly, just the best all-around guy I’ve ever met :). Can you tell that I sorta like him haha 😉 ?
Thanks so much! I’m obsessed with them 😀
Diana @sosmallsostrong says
The food looks wonderful from your date night! I could jump into that steak…you two look so happy to be there.
The measuring spoons are beautiful! Good work Kyle!
Christine Skari says
Hahah I almost did jump into it ;). We were ecstatic to have a date night!!
Thanks so much Diana!
Michelle @ 3cheaprunners says
We don’t dress up for “date night” near enough…I think that needs to change…pronto
Christine Skari says
Haha it definitely does! It makes everything seem so much more special 😀
Sarah @ Sweet Miles says
Good luck back at school!! Those chocolate balls pictured last look amazing!! And you and Kyle are adorable as usual
Christine Skari says
They’re delicious! I still can’t believe how well those avocado truffles turn out :D.
Thanks so much! <3
Karey @ Nutty About Health says
Looks like a very marvelous dinner out & LOVE those little measuring spoons, so cute!! Fun & adorable kitchen gadgets rock!
Christine Skari says
It was a fantastic dinner! Good food makes my heart sing haha ;). Aren’t they the cutest!? Almost too adorable to use!
Have a great week lovely 😀
Emily @smilemilegirl says
Oh my gosh my mom has those measuring spoons!! They are so pretty!! (:
Christine Skari says
Does she really?! Where did she get them from- I love them 😀
Miranda @ Lovely Wife Lovely Life says
Love the new baking supplies!! SO fun
Elise @ 9toFit.com says
I love this has nothing to do with your post and is completely random but I love your hair! Super lock envy right now lol
Christine Skari says
Hahah thanks so much! It isn’t naturally that smooth- lots of blow drying involved haha! 😉
Nicole @ FruitnFitness says
I think its so nice how you and Kyle make time to go on nice dates together. That restaurant sounds very nice, and the company even better! Tyler and I try to make it out to a nice dinner on occasion but usually end up cooking at home or stopping for something quick. Getting dressed up can be so fun! The measuring spoon is so pretty, I wouldn’t want to use it.
Christine Skari says
I agree- dressing up is such a fun way to make an evening more special and fun! It’s great that you guys work on trying to go out, even if you usually end up at home cooking. Cooking dates are a blast as well! 😀
Jackie @ Something About That says
Could those measuring spoons be any cuter?!
I’m in love with the idea of the cookie stamper. I think I may need to get one…
