Remember how much I love Fashion Magazine? Well guess what? I won again! This time it was a fabulous lipstick from Avon! Smooth Minerals Lipstick with SPF 15 (so important in today’s sun-conscious world) in Plum Craze. Now I know it may seems as though I am slightly biased, but it truly is a great lipstick. It goes on smooth and doesn’t leave my lips dried out. I love it, I really do! The fact that it is free definitely adds to the awesomeness (I know that’s not a real word), but I do like the lipstick itself.
Wooohoooo! I usually never win anything. I can buy lottery ticket after lottery ticket and call radio stations time and again, but I never win so much as a few dollars for a new ticket or get anything but a busy signal. Would $25 million be amazing to win? Absolutely, however, I totally appreciate that Fate has swung in my favour this time. A great bracelet and a free lipstick? Perfect! If I could just win that awesome Fendi bag from Sweetspot I’ll be set for a night on the town…
In other news, many of you will recognize this tree as a perpetrator of great crimes towards me.
Well, I was walking back to the office from Timmy’s and it is gone!! They have removed the offending tree. Not just the branch, the tree! Ha ha! The day is mine! (To avoid a world slap I will also add that I am very sorry the tree is gone and I hope they have replanted it elsewhere, or have pruned it down to a nub so that next year it will return to all its eye-poking glory.)
Yeah, That Just Happened!

Who doesn’t love getting mail? I know I do! No bills don’t count, either. I make sure I always subscribe to a magazine or two or three, so that I at least have something to look forward to when I open up the mailbox. Being a mail lover like I am you can imagine how pumped I was to receive a mysterious brown envelope in the mail yesterday. Hmmmm. Very interesting. There was no return address and it was pretty big. At first I thought it was my friend Mille sending me back my lipstick from Calgary. (Mille I think you have my lipsticks!) She was down here for a friend’s wedding and I am pretty sure she went home with them in her backpack. (Seriously, Mille, they are not your colour I want them back!)
Either way, I was absolutely stoked. When I got back upstairs I was anxious to open it, but there is a part of me that wants to maybe not open it. Kind of like Christmas morning. You want to know what it is, but once you know…you know. Curiosity got the better of me and I tore it open. Out drops a box and a flyer. OH MY GOSH! I have not squealed like that since…well I cannot think of an incidence now.
FASHION magazine had a contest on where each day for a month they were giving away items featured in their magazine and I won a bracelet. From House of Harlow 1960. For those of you who are not all up on celebrity goings on, that is the vintage jewellery-inspired line from Nicole Richie! Woooohoooo! Not only do I absolutely love the fact it is slightly reminiscent of Wonder Woman, it is from a celebrity designer. I am so easily impressed, I know. However, I love getting mail and I love winning things (who doesn’t) so this was all in all a pretty awesome day! Thanks FASHION magazine!
Yeah, That Just Happened!
