New Year, new goodies !

Hi !

I haven't posted in awhile, since after the summer my life has been sitting at home studying and applying for jobs and nothing (much) special has been happening.

I did snatch up some goodies from Black Friday and Boxing day sales :)
(Please excuse the mess in the background, I'm attempting to organize my room so I took everything out of the closest and drawers)

La Senza was having 50% off (on orders of $100+) and I had the VIP Prestige card, so I got an extra 10%.
These little ornaments (with *girl stuff* inside) was $5 before discount! So I got a bunch. I wish I bought some more so I can give to my girl friends next year, haha.

I got a potato cookbook!!!!! I love potatoes! I can't wait to try these out. My new years resolution/goal would be to cook the whole book!

Rudsak had 40% off and free shipping, so I got my mom some hats and a vest.

For my sisters, I got Ni No Kuni for $10 on Amazon!! Such a good deal, especially since it's developed by  Studio Ghibli! Just Dance 3 for the family, because sometimes we like to be silly. To get free shipping ($25+) I ordered a little bowl for animals, but I'm using it to hold my rings.

Under Armor had free shipping and 25% off, so I got some headbands so I can finally keep the hair out of my face at the gym, AND maybe motivate me to actually go more ...

I got some sticky tabs from Chapters ! I absolutely love stationary, and my excuse for this is that it'd help with my studying. Haha.



Finally, the last thing I got was from Sephora. Getting ready for Christmas presents for my friends!
And of course, some nail polishes for me. I'll show the swatches in another post :)

Some stuff from Boxing day:
Zara shoes and a sweater !

Unfortunately, one pair was too big, and the other ones fit my foot weird. Maybe I have weird feet :/

I got this pair from the kids section, (kid's size 6) but unfortunately, it converted into a 39 which is way too big for me.

I'm usually a 36/36.5 in shoes, so this pair was a bit big on me. It's alright but made my feet look a bit weird.

Lastly, I got these babies. It's going to be a return because it is also too big for me, and when I walked around in my house in them, it felt really big and heavy.

Got myself a Coach wallet, because all my other wallets are continental and sometimes when I want to use smaller bags/purses, I can't because my wallet won't fit! I can't believe I've gone so long without a billfold! The second the courier gave this to me, I put all my cards into it.

Lastly, what I got so far (some of my boxing day items are still in transit) is clothes from Aritzia!
This is my first package from Aritzia! It's super duper adorable!

The inside of the box! It's a sort of orangey-pink colour! So cute! I will definitely be ordering more now!

Got my mom a jacket, and I got these two t-shirts. The purple one is glow in the dark! I'm so excited to wear this. But, I probably will be hibernating for the next few days since Toronto feels like -40C!!



That's all for now,
See you all soon (I promise to blog more)

Surprises and nails.

This morning I woke up to a surprise at my door. I had ordered a purse organizer from The Shopping Channel, and it had finally arrived. The Shopping Channel had sent me a gift card ($20) -- I think it was during Christmas, but I have no idea why. I quickly popped onto the website to see what I could buy without having to spend too much more. Luckily, I was able to find this purse organizer for $14.99, and it had free shipping, so obviously, this was my choice.

The box that it came in was fairly small.

When I opened it up, it had two purse organizers! I was pretty happy, but after taking everything apart, it turned out that the package actually comes with 2 small organizers, 2 medium sized organizers, and 2 purse hooks! I guess I didn't read the description fully when I bought it, silly me. 

I'm so happy that I just put one in my bag. The organizer is practically empty as I have been using a small purse, but I guess I'll find things to put it in throughout the day.  :D 

(I'll take pictures of what it can hold once I fill it up.)

So, before I slept last night I had put the Sally Hansen Salon Effects on my nails. I didn't realize it would take such a long time, so after I finished I quickly went to bed. 

Here's my nails with my purse organizers. (Can you tell, I love the organizers already?)

 The box that it came in, states that it lasts up to 10 days. I'm going to see how long it takes before it chips or comes off. (I put 2 coats of Seche Vite, so it should hold up.)

The contents inside, it came with a mini filer, a cuticle pusher, and about 16 strips of the salon effects (meaning there's 6 extra for mistakes or for future manicures.) I didn't need to use my filer as I had my regular filer to use, so this cute little thing is going to go in my purse!

The one thing I'm not too happy about, is all the leftover packaging and garbage.
I understand that other people who use this product will have longer nails than me, therefore wasting less of the stickers. But as you can tell, there is a lot of waste.

All in all, it was pretty fun and it looks pretty nice! It gives a sort of lace and scaly effect. The process took about an hour to an hour and a half.

I'm about to go out to run some errands, I wonder if my nails will chip. 

There's supposed to be a storm(or squall) tonight, stay safe everyone.
