I forgot to mention that on the way back to the apartment, I stopped at one clothing boutique that was not vintage. They had a cute red sweatshirt that had "I LOVE YOU" written in white hearts on the front in their window. I went into the boutique and noticed that none of the items had price tags on them. That was a bit odd. I asked the ( Read more... )

I have been sticking to the 24 Things regime (aka clutter clearing extravaganza) and it is going very well.  While the office still has work to be done in it, I am feeling a lot better about it.  Dozens and dozens of papers have been put aside for burning or tossed in recycling, a box has been sent for recycling, and I now know what is in one box ( ( Read more... )

As some of you may or may not know, I love "natural" products. That would explain my Lush obsession, why I use Lunapads and Diva Cup, why I like herbal teas (like this new PMS blend that just arrived in the mail today), etc, etc (I also like to support "natural" Canadian products whenever possible). And if those natural products also happen to be ( Read more... )

Okay! So, had my session with the personal trainer on Thursday morning (I would say "bright and early", but it was pitch black outside) and she got me up on the body composition analyzer. The results weren't nearly as bad as I thought they'd be. In fact, they were amazing. I figured I'd have a fat percentage of about 30 - 40% (I think I feel ( Read more... )

Alright! So, this is the end of the first week of gym going. I went on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wednesday was a recuperation day as my legs were killing me after Body Attack on Tuesday, hahaha. Thursday, I just went in and used the elliptical so that was nice, but it resulted in my legs AND arms hurting a bit. :P Don't let us ( Read more... )

I have been thoroughly enjoying my much needed Holly-days. :) Sadly, they always come to an end all too soon. Andrew is also on holidays though he's on for 2 weeks as opposed to my measly 1 ( Read more... )

I had a Steeped Tea party which was combined with a Pampered Chef party at a co-worker's house yesterday. It was pretty nice. I didn't expect so many people to buy tea stuff so that was quite awesome for me (free stuff, woo!). The tea presenter made an awesome iced tea. Normally, I'm not a fan of taking tea and chilling it to make iced tea; I ( Read more... )

I am in such a foul mood today. :( I'm guessing it's my S.A.D. as it's been unseasonably cold the last couple of days here. We went from 30*C+ last week (yes, humidity included which I liked) to around 8*C (no humidity). Not impressed at all. This is fall weather; it's the middle of fucking August!

It's been a week now since I started my maca ( Read more... )
