some things i love (right now)

Sun on the face & warm air when I roll outta bed and go to balcony. First thing I do is check phone, get up, check computer, grab camera, go outside.

The Lake, the Airport, the many people on their travels to work.

This vintage Lion Breweries New Zealand Olympic Team shirt that was Mum’s. Buckler Men’s undies. SO COMFY (even if you don’t have a package to fill them out but probably more comfy if you do).

Have been using some really great products lately and figured it was about time I share with you. I always test things out for a before I tell you about them and I only talk about what I like [DISCLAIMER].

You’ll notice I enjoy products that don’t have too much scent, are clean feeling & soft on the skin.

L-R:

  • Dermaglow Oil Free Cleanser – soft on face, gentle, hardly no scent
  • Dermaglow Daily Moisturizing Lotion – soft, no smell, clean feeling
  • Dermaglow Wringle Release Serum – see how young I look? Yeah. Use it all the time.
  • Goldwell Ultra Volume Leave-In Boost Spray – good volume, doesn’t make hair icky or greasy
  • Cheeky Monkey Nailpolish in Party Whore – Yes, that’s the real name. Colour is my fav!
  • Redken UV Body Rescue – Stuff is amazing is you love sun like me. Treats skin post tanning & has a soft glistening glitter.
  • Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Antiseptic Cream – MOSQUITO BITES. I hate them. Lotion is cool & soothing w/ tingle.
  • Givenchy Play – Smell is soft, feminine & good for summer. Bottle is metal so great for travel, throwing in purse etc.
  • Givenchy Blush Gelee – Hot pink jelly blusy, one colour for all skin tones. First blush I’ve used on regular.
  • The Body Shop Body Butter Duo in Vanilla – Your skin is happy when you moisturize, this is soft and I really love the smell. It’s not too strong.
  • Ombrelle Face Cream SPF 60 – Your face is your fotune baby, protect it.

That’s all for now. Have an exciting lunch meeting about being a guest editor of something fashion related (CRYPTIC). Evening is dinner w/ an old friend & tomorrow I’m off to Florida for a brand consultation (work). I would like to do more work outside Toronto. Throwin’ it out there y’know!

P.S. New Zealand’s most famous sheep has died. Rest in peace Shrek buddy.

“WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND—New Zealanders are mourning the loss of the country’s most famous sheep. The shaggy icon named Shrek was renowned for avoiding being shorn for years.”

yeah baby i wanna party with you.

You know I love Gaga. I’ve told you a bunch of times before. Remember the MMVAs last year? Kingi from Peach Berserk made me a custom dress with all the big performers on it: Bieber, Katy, Drake, Miley.  I was excited.

I worked with some really great people at Much & MTV last year, the MMVA experience is very memorable. My job was Social Media Queen and it was super fun to say the least.  Blog post from MMVA Day 2010 is here.

I’ve got a couple things planned for MMVA weekend this year. One is a party w/ Gaga’s DJ, Lady Starlight. 🙂

Starlight will be rocking The Velvet Underground (510 Queen St West) after the MMVA’s June 19 in Toronto. Doors open at 11.

I have a list. Do you want to be on it?

IN CASE YOU DIDN’T KNOW.

This is me like errry single day. “Hey guys, I’m on the internet. So are you!”

Great: Bob Marley on how to love a woman (via tumblr)

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect – you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break – her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.”

– Bob Marley

hi from the art of leadership conference

No I’m not speaking but one day I will be. This is me imagining how great it feels to look out to a crowd of people. It feels pretty good. I’m ready for it.

Was back stage w/ some friends.

Keri got a book.

Some really great notes to share with you later!
