This is me in Yerevan, Armenia back in October  ❤

Hi There!!

How are you? I hope you are doing great and thanks for visiting my blog! It is actually fun to see in my stats that I still have visitors.

😀

As it is my 5th Anniversary as a type 1 diabetic, and I usually update about it on my blog, I just had to do that this year as well. My little diary.

❤

All is well in diabetes land (wish I didn’t have it though!) But, at least I am healthy and my levels are where they should be, so I am pleased about that.

❤

One new thing though is that in September, I started using a new glucose monitoring system. It is called Freestyle Libre. I have a sensor attached to my arm and I scan the reader over it to check my glucose levels whenever needed. This means less testing on fingers which is great. I do still have to test on my fingers when the glucose trend is either heading too low or too high though. I get a more accurate and immediate result that way.

🙂

Here is a link if you are curious what it looks like : https://www.freestylelibre.com.au

Still hoping for a cure one day.

❤

In other news we went to a fun Christmas event last night. A lot of Champagne and wine so I am a little slow today haha. The decorations and what the organizers had put together was pretty impressive I have to say! Very festive!

I can not believe Christmas is just around the corner! I really feel 2016 has just flown by!

You can visit me on insta too if you would like : SweetCandyDreamer

Wishing you a lovely day  ❤

* Weekend Summary *

This is me all happy go lucky on Thursday’s horse races at Meydan Racecourse  😀

A cousin of mine ( the brother of my other cousin who recently moved to the Middle East to join us ) was visiting with his wife over the weekend, so we all, including another couple of friends went to watch the horse races on the weekend.

I picked 2 out of 7 winners and hubby got 3 other out of the 7, so this couple picked in total 5 out of 7 winners and we were quite impressed with our skills  😉

It is a fun evening out with dinner and drinks included in the price.

Hubby, my cousin, his wife and yours truly ended the evening at the Mercury Lounge at the Four Seasons ( the place I praised in this post : Last day Of January ). I think they loved the place as much as I do! It is such an impressive view from the rooftop!

On the topic of rooftop bars. This is from last nights sundowners at the Hilton down by the beach. After the sun set, J and I walked to meet my cousins and the wifey for a cozy dinner before they had to go to the airport for their overnight flight back home. It was so much fun to get to spend time with them as I haven’t seen them in goodness knows how long!

Have a fabulous Sunday  ❤

Hey  🙂

Wow, it is already the last day of the first month in 2016! Time flies!

The photo above is from last Monday. We had a YPO event to attend at the Four Seasons Hotel. J and I decided to go for some pre-dinner/event drinks first. So we went to the rooftop bar – Mercury Lounge first. Oh my goodness the view was superb and I loved the place! Gorgeous skyline views. To my left, in the background you can make out Burj Khalifa ( The World’s Tallest Building ). Fun fun fun!!

Selfie time at Mc Gettigans

After work on Thursday, hubby, my cousin and I went to Mc Gettigans ( Irish Pub ) for some after work drinks and dinner. I was super tired during the day as I didn’t get a proper night’s sleep but, luckily I managed to catch a second wind and wake up! We stumbled back to my cousin’s place for some night caps after. Very cozy Thursday evening!

😀

Have a super Sunday 🙂

* Beauty & The Beast *

On Thursday we headed out of town for the weekend. The reason was that I got a weekend away and tickets to Beauty & The Beast the musical for my birthday, back in August. Hubby spoils me ❤ We have had such a fun filled weekend. We went to Ferrari world as well. J took the worlds fastest roller coaster…and me? I really wanted to but, as I was a teeny tiny bit hungover… I was certain my nerves were not up for it that day 😉 I did take a lighter version roller coaster and other things more me friendly on a shattered day 😉 I am definitely going back another time to take the fast ride though 😀

But, on to the main event, the musical. I LOVED it, it was magical………

Beauty & The Beast is amongst my favorite Disney movies and the musical really captured the beauty of it. It was so enchanting and wonderful. Thank you again hubby for the lovely gift…

I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far 🙂

* Sporty Girl In Roots *

I L O V E Roots! There, I said it… phew it feels so good to get that off my chest 😉

My trips to Canada just wouldn’t be the same if I didn’t make it to at least 1 Roots store! I love the stuff, it’s almost like a little clothing addiction! I adore this sporty tank I got on our last trip 😀 Girly and fun!! 

We had a nice weekend btw. On Thursday it was the season opening for an organization hubby is a member of. The original venue had to be switched last minute so, another couple in the organization volunteered to host instead. They recently moved into a stunning new Villa, or would it be a Mansion? Their home was gorgeous for sure! Also, well done to them for putting it all together on such a short notice! 🙂 When we got home after the party I decided I was super hungry so I made us something snacky and yummy to eat while we watched a movie. 🙂 Eventually we found our way to bed 😀

The rest of the weekend we have just relaxed, watched series, had good food and done a little shopping 🙂 A lovely weekend all in all ❤

I hope you have had a wonderful weekend and am enjoying your day today 🙂

* World Cup Party *

itflgWe attended a World Cup party last night and the theme was team colors, so I went with the colors of the Italian jersey as I have always kinda liked Italy 😀

The party was held at three new show Villas and, we had appetizers in the 1st Villa, dinner in the 2nd and dessert in the third! We ended up back at Villa number 1 for the night time party! Oh, and we were driven around the neighborhood to each destination in shiny Bentleys due to the humidity and heat! Geez… a girl is not allowed to complain, that’s for sure!

A little bit of shopping, tasty food and a movie later, we have managed to recover from our self-inflicted pain 🙂

I hope you are having a lovely weekend so far and are happy and healthy 🙂

* Palm Tree Fun *

gc1Just thought I would share a few snaps from the weekend while I wait for my bloogsugar to rise so I can have a workout 🙂 On Thursday we headed out for some Happy Hour fun by the beach. On Friday we ran some errands followed by a beer in the garden before we headed to the Golf Club for some drinks and snacks. We were invited to a Jam session at some friends house, so we walked to their place after dinner. Pretty cool with the different bands playing, good food and drinks 🙂 They had done a super job soundproofing their house! We left before I could start singing Britney Spears songs though, it’s a shame really, as people would have been in for such a treat! 😛

And palm hugging, climbing or you name it (!) is important 😉

* Girly Girl *

girlygirlI feel super girly in this pink tank top! 😀 It also makes me want to hang out at the beach!

Last night we went to the Christie’s Watch Auction. Fun! So many beautiful and fun time-pieces up for auction! As we had a dinner reservation with some friends of ours we didn’t stay through the whole auction but, one of the last ones we saw went for….. $ 130.000! There were more expensive ones coming up but, by that time we were up at the 51 floor and in the bar instead! ( A much safer place to be than getting carried away at an auction! )! 😀

We had a delicious dinner with a beautiful view of the city and I was pleasantly surprised that my favorite building was right beside us as well! It’s funny how certain buildings just give you a right feeling! It looks like a clock tower, I hope they put in 4, one on each side, at some point as that would complete it fully 🙂 I suggested to J that we should just buy the top part of it so we can live there! Sure! Haha 😀 A girl is allowed to dream….

Wishing you a wonderful day!

A fun weekend is over for now. We had a great day at the Birthday brunch and Baby Shower on Friday. Yesterday was quite a write off as a result though 😉 It was one of those HH days… Horrible Hangover days! I am still tired today, I am getting old!!

I just got back home from a drive down to the beach. I love going for drives! Music on loud and my signing even louder! 😀

Wishing you a fun day 🙂
