OOTD for Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday!

(I started this post Monday night, haha).

I filmed a new vanity/bedroom tour on Monday night, but i'm having issues with my editing program (issues as in... it won't open for me for some reason). I have no idea what the problem is :( As soon as I figure it out, there will be a new video on it's way. For now though, just my OOTD for the past three days :)

NAKED & OOTD!

My best friend Michelle surprised me the other night. She bought me the Naked palette by Urban Decay! I've been wanting the (first) palette for MONTHS now. I was SO excited, I almost cried, haha.
Michelle, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I've really been enjoying it thus far. I can't wait to do a few tutorials using it (along with a "new room" & "revamped makeup vanity" tour).








It came with the Primer Potion (which I LOVE) & an eyeshadow brush :)





OOTD: Black-White-Chain.




Top: Katie (a super cool one-size-fits-all store in Toronto!)

Well, this Mama is exhausted (after only getting 4 hours of sleep last night). Working tomorrow & then it's a NIGHT OUT for my best & I! I cannot wait to get all dolled up & go out DANCING :-D
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Kids Say the Damndest Things!

Kids sure do same the damndest things!
I decided to note a few of the funny/adorable things Korah has come up with recently (little Leigh Leigh isn't quite 'talking' yet!)

Me: "I really wish I had..."
Korah, cutting me off, "a bunny!? I really want a bunny! They're so cute."
Me: "Hahaha, I was going to say gingerale, but sure."

A few days earlier...

Korah: "Daddy, can we have a bunny? Pleaaaaaase."
Curtis: "No hunny, we have the cats & the dog..."
Korah: "We can get rid of Soot-Minou. He bites anyway."

HAHAHA, wanting to give away our one cat (who will bite if he's p*ssed off enough) so we can get a bunny. Not gonna happen :P

Me: "I want long long hair like yours."
Korah: "You can have long long hair like me. You have to eat a lot. You have to eat a lot of pancakes!"

If only that were the case, I would be eating them everyday!

--That's all I can think of right now. She always keeps us laughing though!

OOTD: Tuesday & Wednesday + some funnies!

Bonjour!

I'll start with my OOTD for Tuesday. I was feeling like crap, so I wore something very comfy. FINALLY, after an entire week of feeling like butt, I feel better *knocks on wood!*


Sweater/top/leggings: Suzy Shier
Boots: Zellers

This morning as my husband & I are getting dressed, I pulled out the shirt I was going to wear. He says, "what are you doing?"
Me: "What do you mean? I'm getting dressed..."
Him: "That looks like lingerie, all lace & stuff..."
Me: "Haha, it's just a lace shirt."

I'm not sure why, but this little conversation made me laugh. As if I would wear lingerie to work :P



Top/pants/bracelets: Suzy Shier
Leopard print bangle: Ardene
Leopard&red heels: Walmart



The back of the shirt, which I LOVE :)


Today was full of funny things. Now that i'm actually back to my self, I had energy to laugh, laugh, laugh!

A text conversation with my brother ... HAHAHAHA!

Auto-correct for the win! LOL
Michelle was watching the girls for us while we ran some errands this evening. Korah says to her, after a whole lot of rambling on, "My tongue hurts. It's because I talk so much." Haha, got to love kids!

It's late & as my husband snores on beside me I realize that perhaps I should go to sleep too. Thank God i'm off tomorrow :)

OOTD!

Good evening!

I started off my day by enjoying a yummy breakfast with my boss (she treated me to brunch!) I had the BEST waffles EVER! *salivates just thinking about it* I was still feeling very off since getting hit with the flu, but it was definitely a good breaky! We had a crazy busy day at work (!!!) The first half was rough because I was feeling so icky. I took some medicine & then the last half was fine :)


Entire outfit: Suzy Shier :)


Tomorrow is Family Day! I'm soooo looking forward to the day off with my husband & the kids <3 Hopefully i'll be able to sneak in a tutorial :)

Brown, Purple & Blue Makeup Look plus OOTD!

Good evening!

I was off today so of course I wanted to do a tutorial. I wasn't sure what look to do so I asked my best friend (Michelle) & she suggested to use brown, purple, & blue ... so that's what I did! It's not an overly intense look, but I still like it :)

OOTD: Beige & Black!

Happy Friday everybody!

My feet frikkin' hurt today! Just wanted to get that out there (haha). Today I actually borrowed a sweater from my Mama (she bought it on Sunday & hasn't worn it yet :P). When she came shopping last weekend I had her try it on & said if she bought it I would definitely be borrowing it (we share clothes sometimes!) so I wore it today :) It's SO comfortable. I almost want to buy one of my own, haha.

:: Everything i'm wearing is from (wait for it...) Suzy Shier! Haha




















It's Winter Carnival this weekend so tomorrow the kids & I (and MaTante) will be in the parade :) We sit in the firetruck with my Dad (Papa) & my Mom is dressing silly & handing out candy. Hopefully i'll get some pictures ;)

Until next time!

Roses Are...PINK!

Hello!
Today I did another Valentine's Day inspired look.
I call this one Roses Are...PINK :) I love pink! It's definitely my favorite colour <3
You can do this look any day. It's subtle & femanine.


Tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTgK8aPxbjE



What do you all have planned for Valentine's Day? To be honest, we don't really celebrate. I mean, we do but we don't. V-Day isn't really a big thing for us. We usually just make a nice supper (& eat with our kids!) and exchange small gifts. Nothing big. I won't complain about getting a gift though ;) Haha.

Hope everyone's week is off to a wonderful start!

OOTD: Seeing Stripes!

Today I wore a "dress" that I haven't worn in a lonnnnng time. I air quote dress because it's pretty darn short. I originally had it on with purple tights but felt a little scandalous (haha) so I wore leggings with it instead :) The best part? It has POCKETS!!! I love dresses with pockets :)
