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…

borderline artistic strikes again

See these two babes (no not me) Chantelle & Alana! They know me longer than you or the internet! OMGCANYOUBELIEVEIT. Chantelle and I danced together when I was 3+ years old. Alana lived down my street and used to play with u. She also used give us her old clothes. It was AMAZING to hang out the other day. They both say HI MUM! Mum, please try & ring me tonight. I miss you heaps & have so much to tell you. If you see glitter like this somewhere, you know I was there. Borderline Artistic. Look at this sad sight. Swan on a pile of garbage down by the lake. Heart break. Weather has been so lovely the last couple days. Today is an exception, kinda chilly out there. MORE GLITTER. BORDERLINE ARTISTIC STRIKES AGAIN. We were chillin’ and all of a sudden CP24 Breaking was there to do a story. No, not on me. Two mins later SF News was there. That’s Sweden. There were there filming this tall glass of water, here he comes. Voila! He’s playing TFC on Saturday. Jonathan, do you know his name? Something like Stephen or Stephan Fry. Then I tried to ride this bad boy but my feet couldn’t really reach the pedals making it nearly impossible to ride. Chantelle is taller so she was fine. I have to go get ready for class now. That sounds funny. I’d love to teach a class. Would you take it if it was a Sat. or Sun. afternoon workshop? Maybe I’ll put some more thought into that idea. I love teaching and talking. Wanna book me to speak at your event/school/office/bbq/party? Book me here. P.S. I really love Bruno Mars. Like, srsly.

i just wanna blog, i don’t really caaaaaaaaaaaaaare.

I have like 8,000 things I’m trying to do an I wanna do is blog, blog, blog. Wahhhh. Here’s some things I did today real fast. Had this song stuck in my had all day. You’re welcome. Plank like ‘errrrrrrrry day. New shoes @ Get Outside. I replaced my white canvas Converse (like those words together) every summer. I love summer. Went to a beautiful Dermaglow event at the TIFF Lightbox. The team is fab. Thank you for all the products. I can’t wait to wash my face & moist it in a few mins. I’m excited for Film Fest this year. If you & your company wanna chat about doing something cool together email [email protected]. 10 days of pure awesome fun. Sometimes when Keri & I hang out it’s like, so meta. So funny too. Keri taking photo to blog and me taking her photo & blogging it. Oooh hehe haha. I kill me. Ate a meat pie. I love meat pies. Wasn’t as good as NZ meat pie though.  Say meat pie again. Mince meat w/ potato top are my most fav. I also like patio lunches. Got some jazz in the mail from China I ordered from Etsy. I freaking love Etsy now. I have a bad memory (reason I started this blog) so I forget things often. I didn’t know what was in the package before I opened it. Self gifting FTW. Keri got mail too. Look how happy. Tonight I have three events, Steamwhistle, Yelp, Molson Sublime. Excited to see friends. I love summer. Gah! LIFE’S A BEACH & THIS IS MY LIFE! BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

you’re so hypnotizing could you be the devil, could you be an angel

Morning friends. Mama’s headin’ to the beach today, yahoo. Get ya’ tan on. Yes Mum, I have sunscreen. Packed 60 for the face 🙂 Little rain over night but it’s beauty & warm out now. Great view (kidding!). Palm trees dudes, palms! Leaving Philly took foreverrrrrrrrr. Asked around and it seems so many planes were delayed in the US yesterday. I was like ‘JUST GET ME THERE ALREADY”. There were over five guys lined up to take off. It looked pretty. Luckily we jumped the line & got into the air first. Oh yeah. Had one of these on the plane. Super sweet and not even that good. Reminded me of Cuba. The brochure said it came in this really cute pre-mixed bottle, the ONLY reason I ordered it. I’m a sucker for sweet packaging. Fatal attraction to cuteness. Off to brekky now & then beach. I’ve been looking forward to this for MONTHS. Have an awesome day. P.S. Dave Coleman’s wicked condo at Young & Eg is for sale. He’s finally moving downtown! See it here. I would looove to have that much space. OmGAGA.

Capture the Rapture

Didn’t need my alarm to wake up this morning, bounced right out of bed about 7:30am. Today is gonna be long and exciting. Cheryl’s wedding is at 3pm in Kitchener and I’ve got a heaps of things to get done before then. Dress is really pretty & from Bicyclette on Queen. Cruised over there with Jenie yesterday in my fancy new Ford Fusion. Sunroof will be fun for driving/singing in the sun today. Gardener is closed for the weekend, very quiet. I can’t believe this day is finally here. It’s like, really intense man. Cheryl and I went to Australia together and were BFFs through college & uni. Mega reunion, biggest oneof my life so far. We’re all staying at the same hotel too. Cheryl has the same orange/blue ring tattoo on her right hand. Took Keri & my sis to dinner and Bridesmaids last night. Really good movie. So funny. I’m enjoying having a car & cruising around. Will feel great to escape the city. I need  break from this crazy place. Mum, I wish you were here to be at Cheryl’s wedding today. I will give her my love for you. ♥ The sky looked really cool last night. Very Gotham. Ok, go time. Have a totally awesome day 🙂
