OOTD – last week

2 Comments

What I look like at 6AM about to go to the gym. Wearing my the lulu tee I ‘reviewed’.No need to search for “weight loss products that work” … just hit up the gym and motivate yourself!

You can see a small bit of the last painting I ever painted, up in the far right hand corner (I think 2 yrs ago?) for the Boyf’s birthday.

Sweater: Jacob on sale this winter
Tee: Reitmans (last year)
Pants: American Eagle
Watch: Fossil
Necklace: Etsy

I’m not sure when this was. I think last Wednesday if I recall correctly because my pants split open in the ‘gina area and I only notice at 3 o’clock. Almost time for me to go home. I had a HOLE in my crotch peoples!!!! These pants have been thrown away. I saw photos of me back in 2003 with these khakis on before. I think it was time. I just hate it when your favorite pants… die?

Love my giraffe shoes.

I ended up cleaning my shoes with some Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (first time I ever used that product). Let me tell you. It’s literally a God send. I’m definitely going to be purchasing more of these after I contact the company and ask if I can have some coupons! I cannot believe the difference it made in making my shoes more white. It was a miracle. I kept giggling while I was cleaning my shoes and ran over to the Boyf and was like “ooooooooo — looook!”

You can literally see the difference in this pic. Right? Tell me you can! :)

My mess of curls that I tried to do with the round brush but ended up not doing anything at all. So I resorted to the straightening iron… to curl it. Ironic, isn’t it. I fail at trying to mimic what the hair stylist did to me.

Complimenting strangers

7 Comments

When I had funky hair colors in my hair I was complimented by a lot of strangers. At first I didn’t like all the attention, but I got used to it quickly ;)

Just last weekend during the Hamilton 30k road race I saw a girl with fantastic shaped eyebrows. I was staring at her, but too afraid to be like “Hay girrrl you’ve got some kick ass eyebrows.” Then I stopped immediately because I think she thought I was sizing her up. I was only looking at her eyebrows though! Mine are so thin and it takes forever to grow them out, and when they grow out they look like butt.

Personally, I hardly ever compliment strangers unless I’m in a super outgoing mood which is rare lol. It reminded me once again today, because I saw this woman at work who had an awesome purse. I complimented her for it because it was colorful. I only own colorful purses, no black, no brown, no white. But most occasions I’d just be quiet — like the Hamilton story.

So this brings me to my burning question.

Have you ever complimented a stranger? Or even have strangers ever complimented you?

I ended up waking up early to go get a pedi this a.m.. Perfect timing too as it was a scorcher out there. Still is, and it’s 4PM.  After the pedi appointment I went shopping (sorry, No Buy Month is a total fail hahahaha).

What I wore shopping/to my pedi appointment:

$3.00 t-shirt!!! From Urban Planet? Maybe. I got it Christmas time. I want more!!
American Eagle Jeans from 20040-ish?
Old navy flip flops, from their pre-redesign. I hate their new flip flops :(

My new outfit below! I haven’t worn anything like this before, and these are my first pair of leggings! YAY be proud of me!

Tunic + leggings are from H&M
Same flipflops
Watch: Fossil Stella
Sunnies are from Winners, but just Christmas time (or maybe it was way before that). I ended up buying a backup of 3 pairs when I saw some dup’s at Ardene for 3 for $15! YEH YEH!

I thought Alfie would have wanted to be in the photo too. But no. So here’s an outtake of me trying to make him look at the camera, ha!

Thankfully a two hour walk DOES tire out this puppy. Two days in a row we went for an absolutely enormous walk — and now he’s sleeping. Thankfully I can go bake my first cheesecake in peace haha.

Don’t forget, you can now subscribe to my RSS feed, and I also updated the recipe page to add gingerbread men – don’t laugh….
