February Favs: Instagram Diary

Can you believe that February has already come to an end? Time flies, but I'm not too sad about it since spring is on its way! Take a look at some of my favourite moments from this month, starting with some delicious treats: 

February was a month full of birthdays, the first of which was yours truly's! I had two birthday cakes this year, one from the family and one from the boyfriend at my own birthday party.

My lover Jasmeen spoiled me for Valentine's Day-- at her own boyfriend's birthday party dinner. Note the Disney Princess chocolates! 

I enjoyed a lovely day trip down to Alderwood and Seattle with the boyfriend, my brother, and my sister-in-law earlier this month. While it was a rainy day, we had a wonderful time catching up, eating delicious clam chowder, and shopping to our hearts' content.

For Valentine's Day, my love treated me to a single red rose and a delicious dinner at a local restaurant named Burgundy. I highly recommend the place: the atmosphere was casual and trendy, the staff were friendly, and the food was fantastic! 

The menu (excluding some starters and our drinks): Mushroom Creme Brulee // Beef Tartar // Seared Scallops with Polenta Cakes // Spaghetti and handmade meatballs // Apple Cheesecake  

Last weekend, I enjoyed a lovely double date with another couple in which we had Korean BBQ, random Asian desserts, and did some hardcore karaoking! 

For my dad's 64th birthday, my brother and sister-in-law made us a feast: Salmon tartar // Kale salad with bacon // Lamb Pasta // T&T Supermarket Fruitcake 

This furry cutie entered into my life at the beginning of this month as well. Pooky (aka Roxy) belongs to my brother and sister-in-law but I love her as my own already! I love it when she wakes me up on Saturday mornings by breaking into my room and jumping onto my bed.

Last but certainly not least, I booked a trip to Miami and a cruise to the Bahamas in May! I'm daydreaming like crazy about it already; these rainy skies and cold temperatures can't get me down when I have this to look forward to!
