Hi everybody! So in an awful turn of events I like to call Calgary’s weather, there has been a horrible cold going around. Friends, family, countrymen, lend me your ears, for I have found the ultimate cure! Not only is it cheap and delicious, it’s also great for your body. David’s Tea has…
So I saw a lot of these posts going around the interwebs, and I thought I would contribute. I may only be 17, but my pre-adolescent days had enough moments to cringe over, so here we go – a letter to my 12 year old self. Dear Me, Uh, hi. It’s you, from the…
Hi everybody! I recently bought the Chocolate Bar from Too Faced and I am loving it! The Chocolate Bar comes with 14 eyeshadows – 2 of the highlight shades are larger (quite nice, since a highlight is what I usually do with any eye look) and a heavenly cocoa powder scent. Have a look! …
Hi everyone! I don’t know if this is timely or not since everybody’s schedule is different, but I thought I’d offer up some tips for having a great grad photo (since mine looked pretty killer, if I do say so myself). 1. Makeup Now considering all of the grad photos I’ve already seen, I think…
Hi all! As probably none of you know, this is my last year of high school; and alongside the ever present and all consuming slew of homework and drama, I have had the pleasure of crying over university applications. While application season may be over, there are still some people floundering and crying over acceptance,…
ALRIGHT FOLKS. HALLOWEEN IS TOMORROW AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. I’m going to make a list of the DO’S AND DONT’S OF HALLOWEEN. This post’s theme? COSTUMES. You have a few days ’til Halloween and if you’re anything like me, you either had this planned years ago or you still don’t have a costume.…
Hi everyone! Alright so since my last post about autumn, I recently went on a spree to Sephora that included a couple lip products… AND A BIRTHDAY GIFT! If some of you don’t know, Sephora has a birthday gift program for their members where you can go grab yourself a free little gift the month of your…
RANTY RANT TIME. Disclamer: I am really, really, really mad. Alrighty so as some of you gamers may know, the newest Assassin’s Creed game, AC: Unity is set to release in October. It includes game play set during the French Revolution, multiplayer, beautiful graphics, and four carbon copies of the same old hooded white males…
Hi all! Long time no post (sorry!). But with the looming first day of school right around the corner, I figure I may as well shed some autumnal light over the metaphorical overcast skies that is the back to school season (if that was too poetic for you – or just a straight up bad…
Alright, so I am 80 per cent sure that summer is here to stay and doesn’t disappear in the dead of night. That’s what my dreams do (ba dum tss). But with summer comes with the awful creations put here on Earth in order to turn me into a gross puffy mess – mosquitoes. Also…
Hi everybody! I have another event post here for you; similar to the Calgary Expo, it’s Otafest! Otafest is essentially the same as the Calgary Expo, but with the focus being on Japanese anime and manga. This year I was blessed with a sacred media pass – one of the many passes that allows you…
ALRIGHT! Part two to Calgary Expo! If you haven’t seen the first post, click here to read it. Also: I’m going to be putting a couple photos randomly throughout this post. Appreciate the greatness of these cos players. Last post I talked about comfortable shoes, makeup primer, respect, line ups and storage. This time around, we’re getting…
This weekend, there will be a youth expo in Cochrane, May 9 – 10 – and even though it technically falls outside of Youth Week Calgary, it’s still considered a Youth Week event. This expo is simply to have fun and showcase the many talents of Cochrane’s youth. The expo was started five years ago…
Alright so my obvious commitment issues aside (ranging from boyfriends to weekly posts [sorry!]), I attended the Calgary Expo on Saturday – a tradition I’ve started for myself about three years running now (literally the longest tradition I’ve ever committed to), and every year I go home regretting something I did or didn’t do. So…
Welcome to my new attempt at trying to create structure in my life through a blog series. Pinspired is a blog series I’m starting where I scour Pinterest for DIYs and inspirations, then show you my take here. So as some of you may know, the Calgary Comic Expo is coming to Calgary, and I…
