"SANTAAAAAA"
Monday, 22 December 2014 | 0 comments
Ahhhh, Christmas is only a couple of days away!

Confession time; Christmas is not my favourite holiday, as it is for most people, and I was never really excited about it for most of my life...  Until this year!  I'm going to be celebrating my first actual Christmas with my boyfriend's family which is really exciting for me.  My family never does Christmas and my "celebrations" with my friends are usually just Secret Santa over dinner.

I got my boyfriend's mom for Secret Santa and this is what I got her:


First I got her the David's Tea David's Top 12 set which comes with 12 different loose teas.  All the flavours are their most popular ones so I figured this was a safe choice to go with.  I was debating over this or the "tea of the month" collection but I think top 12 should be the best of the best, plus I liked the colour of the box...  So there's that.



Then I got her a tea infuser to go along with it.  I managed to get my hands on this cute "deep tea diver" that looks like a freaking scuba diver!!!  It's so cute, isn't it?  Admit it.  It is.  What's even better is that my boyfriend bought her a new Keurig machine so she's pretty much all set in the drinks department this holiday season.

While I was grabbing the tea infuser from Urban Outfitters, I found the Tangle Teazer and had to get it.  I've been keeping my eyes on it for a while after hearing about it everywhere and seeing my friend have it.  I thought the only place to buy it was online and I didn't have a way to buy online so I kind of just pushed it aside in it mine.  As someone who has naturally stick straight hair, I never had a need for a brush or comb until I started bleaching my hair.  Now my hair is one big knotty mess, but not after using this baby!
 What's awesome about it is that it doesn't pull or tug your hair if it's full of knots.  I don't know how it's different from any other hair brushes but it's amazing.  And best of all, you can use it on wet hair!  After I was my hair and dry it, my hair gets so frizzy because of all the tangles that sets in during the drying process.  Now I brush my hair through while it's wet so every strand can set straight.  You've got to get this, I don't care who you are.  It even brushed out my boyfriend's bread straight.



I just got my friend to help me order Innisfree's Water Glow Cushion.  I'm well aware of the cushion trend in Korea but it wasn't until she showed me her cushion that it really got me interested.  She said it's such an quick and easy application which is perfect for me when I'm traveling between home and my boyfriend's house.  I don't want to bring a huge bottle of foundation or bb cream wth me AND and brush on top of that, so I'm really excited to try this.  I forgot what brand she uses but Innisfree's cushion got a lot of hype so I decided to try that, even though apparently their case is a different size from every other cushion, meaning you can't use different brands interchangeably in the same case :(  I believe Innisfree is the only odd one out, so you can use your Etude House, IOPE, Hera, etc refills in the same case if you wanted to.

Anyway I'm currently at my boyfriend's waiting for him to wake up for work so I can go home too.  I decided not to sleep because he wakes up at 4am to go to work and due to my messed up sleep schedule, there's no way I can fall asleep before 4 and get a decent amount of sleep.



Winter season is here and that means my body is in hibernation mode!  I say that with more seriousness than you'd think.  Not only do I sleep for 80% of the day, but my body has put on a couple more pounds, just like a bear.  I actually went up a size in pants, so that gave me an excuse to buy some new ones!  I absolutely love the jeggings from Garage, so I got all of mine from there.  I also picked up a new sweater from H&M and a cardigan from Blue Notes.  All of these have been a staple for keeping me warm these past few weeks. 



While I was at the mall, I picked up a couple of fun treat items for myself.  My boyfriend saw those fake knee-high graphic tights on a girl and really wanted me to wear a pair.  Hers were the ones with the cats on them but I saw this Alice in Wonderland pair and just had to get it.  I've worn it out and got compliments!!!  They're super fun to wear.  Hot Topic was having a bogo 50% so I picked up a matching Alice in Wonderland hair bow that's so cute.


Then on a different shopping trip, I went to the Disney store and saw that they had some Lion King plushies back in stock!!!  They had a large Simba one and a couple of mini sized ones (Simba, Nala, Timone, and Pumba).  The store was having a bogo $1 so I picked up the mini ones because they didn't have a large sized Nala go to along with the Simba :(  My Lion King collection is growing and I love it.




Zack and I went to a hockey game to celebrate our forth month together!  You'd probably assume that I'm the last person you'd find at a hockey game but I think you'd be surprised to hear that I grew up watching hockey on tv as a kid!  I was never extremely into it, but I lived with my cousins and my cousin Jason would always watch hockey, so I would sit and watch with him.  I have to say though, watching it live is SO MUCH BETTER!  For once, I was actually really into the game.  I find it is much easier to follow in person than on tv because there's no fancy camera angle to distract you.  If you get the change, definitely go to a live sports event!  Oh, and Toronto won this time ;)





I got the change to be my boyfriend's date to his Muay Thai winter gala this year and it was super fun.  I love dressing up all fancy and so does he!  It was really fun because we both looked really good ;)  The food was quite good, although I had to tell the staff about my food allergies and ended up getting different dishes from everyone else.  There was a salad, pasta, chicken main course, and dessert.  I ate everything up (except for the salad because I don't enjoy grass).  It was really nice meeting all the people from his gym even though I'm sooooo socially awkward and stumble on my words a lot.



I ended up drinking with my friend the other night and didn't even sleep a wink, so I was up at the earliest hours.  The only good part about that was being able to witness the sunrise and also Mcdonald's breakfast.  It's so good.  Your day can never go wrong if you have McDonald's breakfast. 


Anyway, I'll update about how Christmas went and post pictures of the presents I get!  My boyfriend apparently bought a lot of stuff for me and I'm excited to see what he picked out.

Virgo season already?!
Monday, 1 September 2014 | 0 comments
Hey cuties,

I can't believe it's Virgo season already.  I seems like I've been so preoccupied with the natural rhythm of life that I always forget that I even have a blog.  It was only a couple of days ago that I realized that we've entered Virgo season.  I only really care because my boyfriend is a Virgo ;)



So I've done a little shopping this month.  I went to Garage and found these items on sale!  I only got the crop top and the dress on the right because the middle one didn't fit too well.  I also picked up new panties that I won't be showing, hehe.




I went back to see Mike to get my roots done once he got back from his Japan trip.  He gifted me with a bunch of Muji pens that I love and adore!  They're so fun to use and so cheap over there apparently.  This time, we went with a silver toner but it didn't turn out as silver as I'd like only because it's impossible for us to bleach my hair completely white unless we burn my scalp off.  In the end, I was left with almost a grey-toned brown which was extremely hard to capture through photos but looked quite amazing in real life.


I picked up a new agenda because sadly, my Andy Warhol one is overdue.  I admit, I got extremely lazy with using it during the last 3-4 months but I still adored carrying it around and I just can't bring myself to part with it because it's Andy Warhol themed.  I found this fox one at Chapters and decided to get it because all the pages inside were cute.  It's quite hard to find a nicely designed one from the inside out.  Most of the ones I've seen had a nice cover but very plain and boring interior pages.


I also picked up two books that were on sale for only $2 each.  This is one of the two that I really want to start reading just as soon as I finish Looking For Alaska.



So my boyfriend had a four day weekend so I went and stayed over at his place :)  We watched a couple of movies in bed and had sushi brunch, yummm!  He doesn't live in Toronto so it's quite far to travel to his town but I like being so far away from home while I'm with him.



Tada, here he is!  His name is Zack and he's a Virgo :)  Super cute, isn't he?  He does Muay Thai so I know he can kick anyone's butt if they're bothering me, hahaha.  Him and I are really into comics, that's our thing, I think.  (Check out his cute Super Man shirt).  When people ask how we met, we just tell them that he saved me from a bear.  That's the version we're going with and that's all you'll get hehe!  We're still in our early stages of dating but I adore him a lot and I'm going to be mentioning him a lot more in the future.

Anyway, that's pretty much all for now.  I start school in a week and I'm going camping this weekend so I'll be gone again!  Hopefully I'll have more pictures and stories to tell when I come back.  Although I dislike all the work I'm bombarded with during school months, I'm excited to see everyone and get back into the rhythm of things.  Here's the rest of the month through food and selfies.

Doctor Martens, Garage, Misc. Haul
Thursday, 22 May 2014 | 1 comments
I went to the mall and did some damage.  Opps.  So every year I'm given money to buy new shoes and this year, Dad and I have been talking about getting me some Dr.Martens.  He has a pair and I've been mentioning to him that I've wanted them too.  We hit up the mall and bought them right after I tried them on.  They're still pretty stiff and I need to break them in but that's okay.  I'm usually a size 5-5.5 but the smallest size they carried was a 6.  Surprisingly, these fit well and I have a feeling a size down wouldn't have even fit.  Do Docs usually run smaller than most shoes?  Anyway, I'm trying to break them in with thick socks now but I'm sure it'll take a long while to accomplish.




I'm a proud owner of my own Docs now :)  They're quite fun to wear and they do give me a little extra boost of height which is always good in my books.  I've even gotten compliments on them already!

I had some money left over to I went and bought a few clothing items from Garage, which if you couldn't tell already, is one of my favourite clothing stores.  But first, I picked up a new eyebrow pencil because I ran out of my last one.  I wanted to get the same one again but they were sold out and I needed a new one ASAP.  I settled for the pencil one (the other is retractable with a brush on the end).  Although I got them in the same brown-grey colour, this one seems to be more brown than my old one.  I don't mind it as much because of my blonde hair now, but it's annoying that the colours don't match like they should.


So I went to Garage and picked up a new phone case first.  I saw it on their online store first and I knew I had to get it because DUH, IT HAS A LION ON IT!  I'm liking it a lot, but the only annoying thing about it is that it creates a gap between my charger and the phone so now it easily disconnects if I plug it to charge but accidentally move the cord.  The simple solution is to just take it out of the case when you're charging it but that's still annoying.


So Garage was having a buy 1 get 1 half off on all denim shorts, so I picked up two.  I already own a pair of Garage shorts and they easily became my favourite pair of shorts because of how they fit.  The main reason I love Garage is because their sizes run small so stuff actually fit me!  Pants and shorts are one of my most difficult items to find that fit because my waist and hips are just non-existent.  I wear a size 00 in Garage pants/shorts and they fit so well.  I picked up a high-waisted black pair and a low-raised "flirty" pair.  Both pairs will be thoroughly loved and worn lots during summer this year. 



I also picked up two graphic tops because they were having a buy 1 get 1 free sale.  There were a couple that I was looking at for a while and thought I should just pick them up since I wanted them so bad.  I wish they had the sale on the crop top versions of these but I couldn't find them in the store so I settled for the regular version.  Oh well, tops can always be tied into a crop top.



(I like this one because of the cut out in the back.  It looks really nice with a bandeau and it'll be especially great for the hot humid days when you just need as little clothing on you as possible).



I also went to the drugstore and picked up a new lipstick and mascara.  I wanted to try something new other than my usual Falsies mascara, so I picked this one up.  Quick review, it has some weird strong perfume smell to it that I really don't like, and It doesn't really give as much volume as it says it should.  Would not recommend. 


Lastly, I picked up these bad boys just yesterday.  I saw the bracelets and I knew I had to get them because I can't pass up anything related to The Lion King.  Plus it has that boho feel which I loveeeeeeee.  The store was having a buy 1 get another half off the entire store so I searched the whole store for something else I wanted that wasn't more expensive than the bracelets.  That was quite hard because I wanted to get one of their Disney shirts but they were too expensive.  I found these ear cuffs and got those because they were cute and in the right price range.  I'm happy I found these because they look great on my ears! 

Anyway that's all I really want to haul haha.  I'm super happy about all my purchases and I can't wait until the weather gets hot so I can wear them all.
