For My Special Ladies

20130308-102154.jpg

I intended to post this for International Women’s Day but to ME, every single day is a day to celebrate the wonderful women in my life. Two of the most very special people to me today, and forever will always be my beautiful Mum and my sister Jenie. I love them dearly.

Rounded up these images from old posts. This ones for you girls, I love you and you mean the world to me.

Us on the set of American Pie Beta House years ago.

And this is for you too…

For all you other ladies out there, don’t wait for a special day to tell someone you love them. Tell them now!

Sending sunshine your way,

Like Butta: Butterfly Linens in My Bed

About a month ago got an email from Butterfly Dreams Luxury Bed Linens Ltd. asking if I would like to receive a set of sheets. Of course I said yes but now, after sleeping on and in them for a few weeks, it would be cruel to not tell you how great they are. I’ve never slept on anything like them. I want to stay in bed all day long. They are best without clothes. So soft against your skin, you really more than ever don’t want to get out of bed!

The Butterfly Linens are made from  very fine microfibres that have been tightly woven into a very super high density fabric with heaps of benefits.

  • Shrink resistant.
  • High abrasion resistance, yielding dependable longevity.
  • Stain resistant.
  • Light weight, yet extremely durable.
  • High tearing & tensile strength.
  • High colour fastness to machine washing, dry cleaning, perspiration, light, rubbing and chlorine bleach.
  • Nil formaldehyde.
  • Neutral pH.
  • Resists “pilling” and “clinging”.
  • Dries quickly and therefore saves energy in drying time.
  • Highly resistant to crease and crinkle, eliminating the need to iron, thus saving energy.
  • Machine washable, dry cleanable, can be tumble-dried
  • A unique softness and pliability – unequalled and unsurpassed!!!
  • Free shipping to Canada & US w/ code “FREESHPG”

I’m currently sleeping with the duvet, fitted sheet, and pillow cases. It’s heaven. I’ve been having such deep sleeps! My nightlife is forever changed. On that note, I wish I was in bed right now in bed right now. ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz. Weekend, where art thou?

CAT Footwear FW 2013

CAT Footwear FW 2013

I bet when you see this thing at a construction site near you the first thing that comes to mind is not shoes? It’s ok, I would have never thought that EITHER!

20130306-225833.jpg

I own one pair of CAT boots (See: Stella in brown) that I’m wearing right now and have worn, walked, and biked in since they arrived in September. They might be the most comfortable boots I own.

Prepare to be amazed by the CAT footwear’s 2013 collection. You will be wanting!

20130306-195048.jpg

I LOVE this little shoe.

20130306-195055.jpg

There are all for your boyfriend.

20130306-195111.jpg

These are wedges. Love!

20130306-195247.jpg

Heart a flutter over these little babies.

20130306-195311.jpg

And these too.

20130306-195336.jpg

Swoon worthy boot love.

20130306-195412.jpg

The Fermenting Cellar and various buildings in the Distillery are so lovely for their sheer beauty and oldness. I have a crush on this set of chairs. Reminds me of something Mum would have at our house.

20130306-195432.jpg

There are some really, really nice styles for men. These are for someone handsome & stylish.

20130307-125142.jpg

I get to pick a pair from the collection and I can’t decide, they are all so nice. Which ones would you pick from my photos? LMK in the comments!

This is me today. Hi!

I got that Super Bass: Bass Boomz Bluetooth Speaker

I got that Super Bass: Bass Boomz Bluetooth Speaker

No, not Nikki! Although I did have a real heart on for that song when it came out.  Keri and I played it on the repeater and danced in our jogging pants.  Last week I was received this awesome little portable, bluetooth speaker. Took it to the hot tub lounge and hellooooo, it’s so loud. Sounds wicked!

20130306-233426.jpg

Bass Boomz is the same company that sent me those wicked Swarovski headphones a couple months ago. They gave me a 50% discount you can use if you want to order a speaker (BBZ649103). I think most of the colours are sold out right now but hopefully that changes fast. Hot pink is available for $79.99 UK (then add 50% off!).

I can’t wait till spring gets here and I can cart this little baby around in my bike basket and to the park. I walked home from the Distillery District to Cityplace last night (just over 3K) and it was lovely out. FOUR DEGREES MANG.

Take those sunshiney thoughts and carry them around today. Spring is JUST around the corner.

Love you forever, Like you for always, Keep you in 3D

On Valentines we went to the Hot Pop Factory’s first ever 3D Kissing Booth. I packaged up our print and gave it to my love for Valentines Day. They just posted the video. It was so fun. I love, love, love 3D printing. See other neat stuff they make in blog posts here and here.

Don’t be late to the meme!

You know what I’m talking about. If your boss comes up to you says something about the ‘harlem shake’ you better it’hope it’s not about doing one, or you might as well Gangnam Style right out of the office.

We posted a b-l-o-g at work written by Dylan about people coming late to the meme. It’s basically THE WORST thing you can do for your company, office, or brand. You risk being known as ‘behind the times’ forever.

When it comes to memes, either get on that bus early or don’t get on at all.

The viral video game is all about speed.

Going “viral” is a funny thing. You can’t know if your video will ever go viral. You can’t plan for it to go viral. You can’t predict it will go viral. You can’t guarantee it will, or force it to go viral. The only thing you can ever really know about a viral video is that its popularity has faded. Eventually, everything viral dies. Goes six feet under. Kicks the bucket. Buys the farm.

Read it here: A VIRAL DEATH.

This is serious people.

In other news, we found a new guitar in the library and I am making Sean play it for me. He hasn’t played much lately and his fingers are hurting but he is so good at it. True Lies Romance.  (Good movie though!)

Time Travel, there’s an app for that.

This was at Ottawa Fashion Week after walking the runway wearing Rachel Sin for the closing celebrity show. SO much fun.

I totally remember taking this photo and laying in my bed with the sun on my face before going to work. I worked in Liberty Village for an online gaming & casino company. Made lots of good friends there. The thing I love most about his app it that it helps your memory. So many things happen in a day that it’s hard to keep track. I take a lot of photos and this app, keeps all my blog & social media memories alive.

Download it and have fun time travelling 🙂

Community Service

20130303-223858.jpg

On Friday, March 1, some of the girls from Community Agency and I cleaned up Trinity Bellwoods Park over lunch. If you don’t know it, Bellwoods is in the heart of Queen West, between Strachan and Bathurst. It’s one of my fav places to hang out in the summer or bike through with friends. If you search ‘Bellwoods’ on my blog there are heaps of entries!

March 1st was YWCA’s Big Day of Change, a Canada-wide day of action for young women to do something good in their community. Friday this week is International Women’s Day (IWD), an annual commemoration that began in the early 1900s.

Our ‘Community Service’ was organized by my friend & Copy Writer Carlimia. She was featured on She Does The City earlier in the week with 12 women who organized events to make positive change. Thanks to Becca Lemire for snapping some shots too.

 

20130303-224733.jpg

We had so much fun doing this together that we want to make Community (Agency) Service a regular thing. It felt so great to be outside in the sunshine at the park again. I can’t WAIt for Spring/Summer to be out in the warm air. Luckily daylight savings isn’t far away!

Do something nice for someone today. It will help you avoid a case of the Mondays. 🙂
