GIFTING DAY 3: let’s play.

I love this smell. It’s sexy and masculine but soft enough that if it was your boyfriends you would spray it on just so you could think of him all day. I love it so much that I own the men’s one for myself.

Ladies, the Play for women is also quite lovely. I have it too, been wearing it lately.

I’ve been helping people smell great with products from Parfums Givenchy for the past three years. THANKS GUYS! To see all the goodies check here. The bottle for Play is designed by french artist and designer Serge Mansau and the celeb spokesperson is Justin Timberlake. That’s sexy.

To win today’s contest, leave a comment below with Twitter, Facebook or DISQUS and tell me:

Who YOU would like to go  on a play date with and why?

Contest does not include shipping. Package is at my house downtown Toronto.

stylus for iPad is real neat guys

Yep, its way easier to cut copy paste which I was having issues with before. I feel more creative now. Is it the ipad or is it the Mac product with my stylus and accessories that make using it a pleasure?  I reckon both.

Sitting across the row is an older man, about Dad’s age, business suit, writing notes on a pad of paper. I glance over and think, “Man, what are you going to do with that paper?” the pages are ruffling and he’s got all these papers and they are in a stack on the seat beside him. He sips his wine. I drink my beer.  He is clearly not enjoying this trip as much as I am.

It’s neat the difference in age and generation. Never had a job where I would write things down like that. I’ve always had a laptop or blackberry. It’s five years ago, six in January, that I started my very first full time job. That year I also started blogging.  

We arrive in San Juan later today. I don’t think I can give up Internet for a few days. I’ve got to many exciting things to share. This IS my life and I am “L.I.V.I.N”.

iPad makes me wat to write more stories. 2011, I’m gonna write more. Well, more than I do already! 

Love you. Bye xo

P.S. Porter doesn’t have tall cans anymore. Probs a good idea. Last time I went to Boston I got wiki-wasted.

something she said about the vigilantes

I was up late, I should have been packing but… internet, I keep working on stuff and Tweeting, which is work. I watched the Jimmy Fallon show after I saw someone say on Twitter that Johnny Depp looked like an idiot and guess what? Ra Ra Riot were on and I remember seeing them recently, but I don’t remmeber when. Does anyone out there remember when it was?

I feel like Carrie Bradshaw right now because I was sitting there writing all day. I didn’t think I left the house but I just remembered I did go across the street to get a salad. Excited I’m gonna be in Boston tomorrow and then in the sun for a few days.  My body feels tired and so does my mind. I’m so ready to shut off my computer and leave it at home.

Still taking iPad though! It’s so good at the airport/on a plane.

Enjoy the day!

GIFTING DAY 1: Givenchy Hot Couture Giftset

For the past couple years I’ve been giving away holiday giftsets from Parfums Givenchy. This year, we have more than ever! I’ve got three scenteriffic packages to give away over the next few days.

I first posted about Givenchy Hot Couture September 2008 when I recieved a bottle. I love this smell. Sadly, mine took a fall on the bathroom floor and I lost it all (wahhhh).  Hot Couture for a woman that is stylish, glamourous, and a true trendsetter. It’s kinda fruity with notes of raspberry, magnolia and amber-vetiver. The giftset contains 50ml EDT spray, 7.5ml EDT travel roll-on, 75ml body lotion. It is valued at $80.

You want it? Log into the commenting below with Twitter, Facebook or DISQUS and let your voice be heard. Contest is open to anyone in North America but does NOT include shipping. (Sorry!)

Tomorrow’s gift is a Rightsleve Market Tote + 1colour/1 location t-shirt. Have an awesome day 🙂

down with the sickness: part two #throat

I could feel it coming on last night and should have done this before bed. It’s ok, one day of Mum’s remedies and I’ll be all better.

Have a sore throat?  Want it to GTFO of your life? Here’s watcha do. (Mum, GTFO = get the fuck out)

Get some ground sage and 2 large mugs
Boil the kettle
Put sage in mug, pour water over
Let sit until sage sinks to bottom and it cools down
Strain tea into another mug leaving sage in mug 1
Make sure it’s not too hot
Go gargle with it
Repeat all day
Feel better

Mum had us do this as kids and because of it we hardly ever missed school (thanks Mum!). BTW Sage will also soothe hurting gums, cankers, irritated larynx and vocal cords.

While you’re in the kitchen boiling that kettle, throw some fresh ginger in a mug and drink it.

Down With the Sickness Part 1 is for common cold. It’s instructions on how to Thyme Bath your way to healthy. See that post right here!

“you’re famous”

Last week in Dallas I had the pleasure of meeting Xeni (aka Madam Boing) from Boing Boing and it seems I have lots of friends that read it.  I’ve gotten texts, FB messages, emails and Tweets about the following article. Thought I better share it with the rest of ya. Check it out!

Virgin America, the airline that carries Boing Boing Video as an in-flight TV channel, launched service from Los Angeles to Dallas-Forth Worth, Texas this week. I joined other press for the inaugural flight, to live-tweet snapshots of the festivities. This included a bunch of cowboys and longhorn steer right on the tarmac at landing, and later, a “secret” performance by Willie Nelson with impromptu on-stage hoedown involving Sir Richard Branson and gorgeous flight attendants.
