  • I love vinyl wall stickers. Oh yes.

    I just can’t help myself, I’m in love with the wall stickers over at Loomis/DeSerres. There’s a shop right near my office and I walked by the other day and caught my eye on their window display. I went in and picked up a booklet on all the designs available and now have sticker lust…

  • Splenda Fine, HoneyBunch!

    You know that I love youuuuuu! I can’t help myself… I love you and nobody else! Dun Dun DunDun! (do you remember that commercial?) Haha I’ll bet you’ve got that song/jingle stuck in your head now! Sorry for the lack of posting lately. I’ve been simultaneously busy and exhausted. I keep getting home and falling…

  • The Frugal Bachelorette Weekend

    In my post below I outlined a few of the things that we did for my best friend’s bachelorette weekend. What I didn’t mention is my surprise at how little it cost us in the end. Just for perspective, I was estimating the personal cost to be somewhere around $200 each for the weekend, since…

  • I Wrote About YOU, Dear Bloggers!

  • The Vespa Investigation

    A while back I blogged about possibly getting myself a scooter to get around the GTA in the pleasant months. I was hoping to get one pretty soon, especially since the TTC strike put a real kink in my plans. However, after a little investigation into costs and logistics, I’ve decided to put off my…

  • Beauty Budget Challenge Update

    So I’m participating in the April Challenge over at Krystal’s blog. This month I have challenged myself not to spend more than $60 on health & beauty products. I know that seems like a lot, but with spring here it’s time to refresh everything. And I’ve also been running out of some of the things…

  • Product Review: Cake Milk Made Hand Creme

    I’m on a roll, folks! Here’s a review of one of the other products I was pleasantly surprised by: Milk Made Hand Creme by Cake. I first received this as a gift from the W Network about a year ago. I had no idea what it was and had never heard of the brand before…

  • Product Review: Avon Supershock Mascara

    I mentioned ages ago that I would start doing unpaid reviews on products or services that I thought needed to be reviewed… so here is the first! I am totally in love with this new mascara by Avon. Supershock Mascara ($9.99) is their newest mascara and comes in your basic colours (navy, brown, black &…

  • Think in Pink?

    Spring must be in the air… I am finding myself oddly attracted to pink again! Today I volunteered at a marketing conference all day, and in return they gave me a $50 gift card for the Eaton Centre! Yay! So I went with my coworker N to blow our cards on something frivolous. We were…

  • Schtickers Love!

    Ok, I was browsing The Windowshoppist not long ago, and she had a post featuring a seriously cool laptop sticker from Schtickers.com. I can’t believe I did this, but I actually bought one ($24 after shipping & conversion), and I applied it today! I totally fell in love with the fine art schticker of Flaming…
