A Few of my Favorite Things

With Christmas comes many gifts, and gift certificates! Here are some of my favorite gifts and things bought with said gift certificates.

Best present ever? Ray Bans!

Thank you mommy!

I got two gift certificates for MAC, one from my brother's girlfriend Chantelle (obviously a good gift for me haha!) and another from my parents.

From left to right

Mineralize Blush in 'Dainty' - 25$

Eyeshadow in 'Veluxe Pearl, Plum Dressing' -17.50$

Eyeshadow in 'Veluxe Pearl, All That Glitters' - 17.50$

A gift certificate to Sephora meant a much needed Smashbox Halo hydrating perfecting powder! This stuff is amazing!

I use it to set my foundation or alone if I'm just going to the gym. It makes my skin look amazing! Just one of these lasted me 6 months! Well worth the hefty price of 72$

I could probably spend thousands of dollars at American Apparel, but I have to hold myself back every time I walk into the store.

My parents gave me a gift card to the Rideau Center, which went to AA nail polish and clothing.

I've already said in a previous post how amazing AA nail polish is, so when I saw it in the color 'Rouge' I knew I had to get it! While I was there I picked up a long sleeve crochet jumper http://store.americanapparel.ca/rsa0333.html?cid=139 in black. I love it!

My parents also bought me a pair of high waist leggings and two shirts from AA that I absolutely adore!

I live in high waist pants. At work, the gym and pretty much every day, I'm wearing something high waisted. So it's no surprise that I have been drooling over CHEAP MONDAY's long line of high waist denim.

I went to NORML Clothing on Rideau Street, and ended up paying 75$ for a pair of mid rinse high rise skinny denim in a size 26. I loved their customer service, and the jeans are worth every penny!

There's more stuff to show, but I'm off to bed for now.

Carpe Diem and Happy Holidays

Amazing.

Day 27 - 30 Day Photo Challenge

Day 27 - A picture of something you're afraid of

I'm really scared of running over an animal while driving! I almost had a heart attack once when a cat ran past my car.

Day 26 - 30 Day Photo Challenge

Day 26 - A picture of you and a family member

This is my real life sister. We have matching tattoos.

Day 25 - 30 Day Photo Challenge

Day 25 - A picture of something you wish you were better at.

I've always wished I could be more organized. With my time, school, my room, and pretty much everything.

Day 24 - 30 Day Photo Challenge

Day 24 - A picture of your day.

Well, the first part of my day was spent in a clinic, but the rest is being spent in front of a fire, watching TV, and mindlessly surfing the internet.

Day 23 - 30 Day Photo Challenge

Day 23 - A Picture of something you wish you could change.

I wish I could change all the people with such a negative attitude towards life. Life is beautiful, and happiness is a choice.

Day 22 - 30 Day Photo Challenge

Day 22 - A picture of your favorite book.

Well to be honest, I've never been fond of books. Sitting down and concentrating for that long is to tough for me.

I do enjoy my Cosmo though!

Day 21 - 30 Day Photo Challenge

Oh my gosh! I might be done this by Christmas haha!

Day 21 - A picture of something you wish you could forget.

My whole grade 9 'look'.

The emo bangs, crazy eye liner, white bra showing through my shirt, and lack of real smile.

Wow! That was almost 6 years ago!

Day 20 - 30 Day Photo Challenge

Day 30 - A picture of somewhere you'd love to travel.

England!

The accents, the fashion, the sights, and the nightlife! I would absolutely love to visit one day! Hopefully in the near future!

Day 19 - 30 Day Photo Challenge

Day 19 - A picture of something you love to do
I love working out and playing sports. It's that natural high you get and the feeling of the 'zone' that make me love what I'm doing.
Whether it's at the gym, or on the field, I just absolutely love it.

Now this is a pretty bad scrum, but this is the only picture where i'm not in the front row!

Day 18 - 30 Day Photo Challenge

Day 18 - A picture of your biggest insecurity

I'm only human, so obviously there are some insecurities I have. I've embraced my old insecurity of having a gap in my teeth, so I think the only big insecurity I have left is my skin. It's dry when theres no breakouts, and breakouts when it's not dry. Now I know my skin is probably a lot better than some other people, but I envy girls who don't have to wear foundation!

Here are some songs about acne, and insecurities by my favorite English boy.
