it has its benefits

it has its benefits

I realized this morning as I put on my new vibrating mascara followed by my unreleased Givenchy fragrance that blogging really does have its benefits. Mum reminds me sometimes.  I’m always thinking about the next step. Last year I got a heap of cool jazz. Last night I got invited to Dermologica thanks to Marie from Karmacake.ca. I left with a whole skin care routine specific to what I like/need to make my face look extra lovely. It’s fun to meet other bloggers and this time it was all girls who were all very nice.  I’m excited to see where this bloggy takes me, it’s growing and I’m having lots of fun writing it. I’m also thankful for the opportunities it’s given me! I like going back and reading crazy thoughts that came out of my head and I often wonder “what was I thinking?”. It’s part of the fun of having a crappy memory!  Sometimes when I have a bad day or feel like crap it’s comments from you that completely change my mood and make me smile. Thanks for reading it. The new Wired just arrived at my desk…it’s a good day.

I’m Glamorous. Yes, I am.

I’m Glamorous. Yes, I am.

Last week I received a package from my friends at Matchstick Marketing once again. This time it was…a L’Oreal Paris Glam Kit!! OOOH YEAH! I was totally surprised by the huge size of the actual mascara unit. It was bigger than any type I have ever tried, and resembled a sex toy a little bit! You know, like the kind of thing you might see on a sex toy site like Loveplugs? Well, that’s what my roommate, sister and I thought. The kit came with the following jazz: 2 x L’Oréal Paris Double Extension Beauty Tubes Mascara 1 x L’Oréal Paris Cosmetic Bag 1 x L’Oréal Paris Cosmetic Brush Set 1 x L’Oréal Paris Eye Shadow Quad in Grey 1 x L’Oréal Paris Carbon Black Liquid Liner 1 x Guide to Smokey Eyes I took the liberty of capturing all the steps in using the mascara. I expected it to make me look more like a Glam babe, I’m talking Oscar worthy. I’ve used it a few more times since this first application and don’t mind it, but is not my most favorite. My lashes are actually quite long so it makes them kinda butterfly-eyeish. I think I need more practice or a lesson. I found it to be kinda chunky. Maybe I didn’t follow the instructions right? I do that sometimes. My friend Marie loves it. The mascara retails for $14.99 and I have coupons for $5 bones off the regular price for anyone who wants to try it out! Let me know before you buy your next mascara!!

Who Said Monday’s are bad? Ketel One Tasting!

Who Said Monday’s are bad? Ketel One Tasting!

In just a mere short eight hours I will be experiencing something great…tasting and be trying Ketel One vodka!! Yahoooooooooo! I’ve been invited by Matchstick to attend a vodka sampling event this evening. Don’t know the Ketel? Ketel One Vodka is distilled from 100% wheat and made at the Nolet Distillery in Schiedam, Holland. It is distilled in alembic copper pot stills, filtered through loose charcoal, and rests in tile lined tanks until ready. Ketel One Vodka is named after the original, copper pot still, “Distilleerketel #1,” and is handcrafted in small batches. The alcohol content of this spirit is 40% (80 proof). The Nolet Distillery also makes Ketel One Citroen and Ketel 1 Jenever Gin. [Wikipedia]

My Pearly Whites

My Pearly Whites

Today I received a nice little package of Listerine Whitening Quick Dissolving Strips from my friends at Matchstick. I read the instructions and excitedly put the strip on my teeth. I am wearing it now. It tingles a bit and tastes like mint. A very ‘Listeriney ‘ (made that one up!) taste. It seem like it is kinda dissolving, it takes about 10-15 minutes. I’d like to use the strips all day and make my teeth uber white, super fast. I really need to find a Toronto Dentist now I think about it! I’m due for a visit. I remember I fell asleep with a Crest strip on once. I woke up, had a glass of water and screamed, my teeth were SOOOOOO sensitive. I surely do not recommend sleeping with white strips on. It hurts. My teeth are already pretty white so I’m not sure how the strips will work on me. Maybe my teeth will start glowing! One of my friends had her teeth whitened at a Dentist Fort Wayne so we have been sharing teeth whitening tips. Hopefully mine will be as bright as hers one day. That would be awesome. Maybe if I had kept my teeth in good condition from the start and had followed advice from my dentist in Glen Rock, perhaps I wouldn’t be in need of the strips but here we are… Now my teeth are looking a little whiter, I have been seriously contemplating treating myself to some Invisalign aligners. I have always wanted straighter teeth and therefore I think that now could be the right time to do something about it. An old colleague of mine who lives in Arizona recently had her Invisalign fitted by a Dentist in Yuma so I might have to ask her for some advice.…

Zune Zune Zuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnne!!

Zune Zune Zuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnne!!

Look what I get! Today I got a call from a lovely employee at Matchstick.ca after I had filled out a survey last week that pertained to MP3 players. Turns out…..it was for the Zune MP3 device!This thing is fucking awesome. I currently have an 8G Nano, but I reckon this might rival my little baby. It comes with video, photo, radio, a recorder, wireless sync (so cool!) and up to 2,000 songs, or 25,000 pictures, or 24 hours of video. Holy shit yo!! It is not in Canada yet, but I am getting an 8G one! And, to make it even better and cooler, I get to give one to a friend!! Also, Zune is super cool because they are going to be hosting parties with Vice magazine. As a devoted Vice fan, this rocks my socks off! Vice had a promotion with Solo Mobile once for the 100/100 Parties that were off the hook and craz-ay. I should get my Zuney Tuney unit in about a week or so. Stay ‘tuned’ for updates!! If you’d like to participate in this great opportunity or other great stuff from Matchstick let me know and i’ll pass on the details for you! xoxo
