I fail as a blogger. I have been SO busy with school and work and moving and everything else in my life that I haven't posted in a month. So sorry!
anyway, I wanted to post about candy coated tips giveaway!
this blog is a great nailpolish resource (I am obsessed, so I should know, haha) so head on over and take a look, and maybe even enter her giveaway...here.
happy polishing!

30 day blog challenge....oops!
I fail. I went home to Vancouver for a week without my computer, and of course there wasn't a single working computer in my family's house. SO then I came back to Calgary and spend the whole weekend working and moving and its all been quite stressful. SO I'm returning to the blog challenge, better late than never I suppose.
What is in your makeup bag?
Well I don't have a picture of it, and honestly I just dumped most of it because I finally moved (!!!) and actually have a bathroom for my makeup. HOwever, previous to this, my make up bag held in it:
1. Makeup Forever HD invisible cover foundation

2. Makeup forever duomat powder foundation
3. Too Faced Caribbean in a Compact in Sun Bunny
4. Mac Powder blush in Sunbasque
5. Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara (I hate this)
I'll be honest, there is a ton of other crap in there too, but these are the products I use daily. I'm really too lazy to post any others.

30 day blog challenge: day 10.
day 10 - a photo of your favourite place to eat.
The royal vancouver yacht club
I don't care whether its Jericho beach or Coal harbour, I love it. When I was a kid we went to the Coal Harbour all the time, and I loved the clam chowder, and the smell of the ocean. Since I've been older, we go more to the Jericho beach location, and even if you just sit in the clubhouse downstairs, the view is absolutely beautiful. Sitting upstairs is even more lovely, and you can watch the sailboats come in and out, and feel the most perfect sea breeze while you eat. YOU can't go wrong with the Halibut and Chips (a classic) But I also love the black and blue salad and the California Chicken wrap. I can't eat shellfish, but my mom says the shrimp sandwich is PERFECT.

30 day blog challenge: day 9
day 9: a photo of the last thing you purchased.
OK, this is going to have to wait until tomorrow. I feel like that is kind of cheating, but I have a good reason for it.
There was this shirt at Aritzia that I had been eyeing, and I tried it on one day during the presale, but I was already buying a TON of other stuff that was on sale, and this wasn't, so I left it. but I kept thinking about it. Then one day I was at the mall, and I saw a girl wearing it in a really cute, effortless kind of way. I decided I had to have it, and I went straight to Aritzia to get it at that very second. It was gone. I took this as a sign and moved on. But not really, because I checked every aritzia location in calgary for it. no such luck. In the last store, I tried on the top in a different colour, just to see if I liked it as much. When I stepped out of the dressing room, the SA commented on it looking nice, and I said "yeah, but I'd really rather have the cream and navy version." Well, the SA kindly found it (although I was annoyed to discover it was at the location where I usually shop in vancouver) and they had it brought in for me. I`m wasn't surprised, because I'd had this done before, but man was I happy that they were able to find it in my size somewhere! anyway, this was my last purchase, and it came in on friday but I've been working too much to pick it up. But I intend on goign to get it tomorrow, and then I will definitely take a picture of it!

30 day blog challenge: day 8
Day 8: a song to match your mood.
Seriously, I could come up with about a million songs for my mood today. So I'll try to narrow it down to two.
1) Smoke on the water - deep purple. It is SO smoky in calgary from the forest fires, and its making my eyes and throat sting! This morning when I drove over the Glenmore reservoir it looked all weird, and there was smoke hovering over the water, and it made me think of this!
2) Home - Michael Buble. why? because at this time on thursday thats where I will be...HOME! I'm so excited that I'll be back in Vancouver. Its been more than 2 months since the last time I was home, which is just about the longest I've ever gone without seeing my family! I've got lots of great things planned, including a spa day with my mom and grandma, seeing a friend who has been in the netherlands for the past year, and celebrating my best friend's graduation! I can't wait!

I'm moving!!
YAHHHHHH!!!
I'm so excited that I'm moving! My current official living situation = 4 girls, 2 bathrooms, 1 split level house. Its dirty. These girls DO NOT know the definition of a clean kitchen. Or bathroom, for that matter. Not to mention there might be a crazy or two living there. I won't delve into that right now though. Anyway, my solution to this situation? Take up camp at the boyfriend's place. This has been O.K., but its really a boy's place, and I don't feel 100% comfortable there (ok, the bathroom floor/wall are rotting. its not just a boy's place, its a dark depth of ..... something gross.)
So my lease (finally!) came up on the first of september, and I chose not to renew it (clearly) nto to mention my landlord has been hinting at potentially selling come december, and moving at christmastime (when I'm graduating and would also like to go home to visit my family, not to mention Calgary's AWFUL winters) is not my idea of a good time. Plus all those other things I mentioned above. So I`m moving to a townhouse that is pretty out of the way, but SO much prettier than any of the other places I`ve lived thus far.
Highlights include: private ensuite, walk-in closet, digital pvr, and....a covered garage! seriously, not having to get up unsure if my car would start in the mornings and scrape all the snow and ice off is just about the greatest thing ever for me.
But here is my issue: I`ve never lived in a place that I`ve cared enough to decorate before (other than my parents', of course). The walls are a chamois yellow colour, and I'm trying to figure out how to decorate around it. Here are some pictures of inspiration I've found so far.

I really want a little vanity table (or a big one, haha):
what a great alternative to a bedside table, for a small space!
Oops, I guess I'm getting a bit out of control with the pictures, I think I'll stop before things really get ridiculous!

blog challenge: day 7
day 7: your dream wedding.
I am going to be perfectly honest here. I have NO idea what my ideal wedding would be. Not for lack of trying. I seriously only seem to watch say yes to the dress, which is conveniently always on right when my boyfriend walks in the door every day. Poor guy is probably scared shitless, haha. I don't even know what kind of dress I want. SO instead I'll leave you with some picturse from one of my favourite blogs, cup of jo. She posts some of the coolest wedding photos ever! I just love what this first bride wore...

This couple got married in this tiny little chapel in Iceland. How cool!
I love this 1920s inspired look. How fantastic!!
This couple got married in the middle of the forest in Vermont. Their guests were invited to camp out in tents, and this was the "Ladies' Lounge" tent!
How beautiful is this? I love how her veil comes out of her hair like that. I totally want to do this!
