Boxing Day Sale!

My favorite time of the year! I know I am a little bit late since boxing day is December 26th, but there are still some great deals! Unfortunately I couldn't go out for boxing day because I had to work, BUT Christmas night I did all my boxing day shopping online and it was great! Things started coming in the mail this week. I shopped at Chapters (Indigo), Forever 21, Aeropostale & Lush.. I made my first order Christmas night on the lush website because I knew things would go super quickly, and they did, because by the time I woke up the next morning their site was cleaned out! The promotion they had going was buy 1 get 1 free, which is insane because all year they don't have any sales at all. The buy 1 get 1 free was on all Christmas gift boxes and Christmas items. I ordered quite a lot and I am so anxious for it to come in the mail. I made 2 separate orders, which might sound a bit crazy but the reason behind is because the first order I made was quite rushed, I was so nervous everything was going to be sold out so I was going very fast adding things to my cart. Then when I went back online a few days later they had re-stocked most of their stuff (which they tend to do a couple of times after things sell out.) So I picked up some more things. I went into the store last week and all that was left was 1 type of bath bomb and all their soaps were buy 1 get 1 free and they had a couple of gift sets so I picked up the remaining bath bombs and a couple of soaps. I am actually going back to the mall tomorrow morning and I'm going to go into my Lush and see who knows maybe they have stuff re-stocked that they found in the back? (Fingers Crossed)

Happy New Year! Best Wishes for 2013

2013

Hey Guys! I have been very busy lately with the holidays, work, and moving! I haven't had very much time to blog. I just wanted to say that I hope everyone had a good Christmas and I wish you all a great year ahead!

My 4 Day Get Away To The USA!

Hello! I am blogging from a gorgeous lodge motel in Rutland, Vermont. My dad and I arrived in Burlington, Vermont yesterday around noon. We shopped and stayed in a motel there last night. We woke up early this morning and came to Rutland, took about one hour from Burlington. We shopped today some more and now I am completely beat! I can't believe how gorgeous it is up here, the air is so fresh and the mountains are beautiful. I spent way too much money but at least all my Christmas shopping is done right? Tomorrow we are off to Plattsburgh, New York for guess what? More shopping! Then we are either staying there over night or driving home! I am having an absolute blast just what I need before these next few hectic months.. You'll see why!

PS: Happy Birthday Daddy!

Tea Bag Burn Healer?

Saturday night I went to my aunts to make holiday decorations. We were using the hot glue gun and yes you guessed it I burnt myself. But this time was different, I burnt myself VERY badly. It was so bad that I got a huge bubble by the next day. I was told that I should somehow get rid of the bubble so it can deflate and then it would dry and heal. WRONG! I popped the bubble and by the next day I was in excruciating pain. I woke up in the middle of the night crying because I rolled on my finger! It was horrible.. My mom was reading up on the internet and heard that a green tea bag soaked in ice water was a good natural cure for burns. Lately I have been trying to heal everything naturally (at home). So obviously when I heard that a green tea bag could possibly help I decided to try it right away. I filled up a glass with cold water and added 2 ice cubes. I popped in the tea bag and let it sit for about 5 minutes. I took it out and placed it on my finger for about 30 minutes. Let me tell you, the coldness of the bag was sooo soothing and by the next day I noticed the swelling went down and it didn't look infected anymore! I recommend this home remedy for anyone with a minor small burn. 

Black Friday? Boxing Day?

The States has Black Friday which is exactly the same thing as Boxing day in Canada except its after Thanksgiving and Boxing day is after Christmas. A lot of people don't step foot out of their houses on these days.. Me on the other hand, I am up at dawn! I absolutely love love love Boxing day (Since I live in Canada) I started Boxing day shopping about 3-4 years ago. Now I have to go every year.. I even look more forward to this day then Christmas! Shh.... But seriously, if you have never been out on either of these days I suggest you go and try it for yourself then decide if its for you or not. The deals are just amazing, for instance every year they have 50% off store wide (Everything) in one of my fave stores, Joshua Perets. Bath & Body works has sales depending on how much stock they have left over from Christmas & Summer that they need to get rid of. Prices vary anywhere from 25%-90% off. Nuts I know! And last but not least, Lush! Also depending on how much they have left from Christmas its usually buy one get one free! But I heard a rumor that a couple of years ago it was buy one get two free, I really hope its like that this year! I guess what I am trying to say is that the sales are super good on either of these days and completely worth the hassle of a packed mall!

Homemade Lip Scrub

Since fall is in full force, and winter is close by my skin is so dry!! Especially my lips! I was doing some research online today for a homemade lip scrub, because I really don't find it necessary to spend ten dollars on a lip scrub when I have all the ingredients in my own kitchen to make my own (And it is 100% natural and there are no chemicals). I found a recipe online and I tweaked it just a tad. What you need is olive oil & sugar. I added a pinch of coarse sea salt but if you want you can just use olive oil and sugar it works just fine! Take about one tablespoon of sugar and put it into a small container, add in a couple of drips of olive oil until it makes a thick paste. Apply onto your lips and scrub away! Whats great is this can also be used as a full body exfoliate, but I don't recommend using it on your face, too oily!

Happy Halloween!

Wishing everyone a Happy Halloween! Have fun & Be safe doing whatever it is your doing tonight!
