Five Things in January

January usually doesn't fly by for me but this year it did so here are the five things that stood out to me this month. 

1. Zara blanket Scarf:

This scarf is the warmest thing ever therefore it was the best thing ever during the cold weather. In class when I've been cold, I used it as a blanket and it work like a charm 

2. The Ipad Mini

Most of my reading have been online this year so having everything conveniently download on to my ipad has made doing my reading that much easier. 

3. Finishing one month of my last semester  [photo credit via Stefan Lorimer]

I can't wait for school to be over with. There is so much I want to do but school takes up so much time. With that being said I cant believe I already finished one month meaning I only have 2 months (9 weeks) left of school.

4. Origins Eye Cream

I want to do I full review for you guys on this product, but let me just say its amazing, never have I ever been told I have radiant youthful skin :).

Happy Year of the Horse to all those that celebrate. I hope everyone had a great new year and may this year bring you great fortune !

Cheers, Jennifer

Five Things in November & Recap

Last Month I said October was a long month, although November was better it was still very very long. From the endless paper and projects occupying my time throughout the month, it was difficult to do much else beside study and go to work.

Going to work in the morning and school in the evening was really starting to take its toll on me but I made it through and now I have almost 5 weeks of no classes to look forward to! In addition to that am done all my classes and only have one more exam to write and I will be a free. And even more exciting news is next semester will be my last semester, come April 2014 I will be free from everything school related! 

Im really excited that its December, it truly is one of my favorite times of the year !

Without further delay my 5 things this month were:

1. Sonia Kashuk Eye Makeup Remover from Target.

Before Target came to Canada I would stock up on this whenever I was in the States, but during my last couple of trips they were all out and I had to try something new, but this month I finally got my hands on it again and its never felt so good to be reunited with it. I've tried a lot of Drugstore ones and nothing compares to this one so far. 

2. JCREW Statement Necklace Dupe from eBay 

I got this at the end of October and let me just say, this goes with everything ! From T-shirts to Dresses I have definitely have over worn this beautiful thing this month. Best $10 I've ever spent. 

3. The Righteous Body Butter from Soap and Glory 

I've only tried a handful of body butters but so far this is the best one. It absorbs quickly, leaves a wonderful smell and super soft skin, what more can I ask for. 

4. YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick in #13

Love the colour and it comes it super fancy packaging. 

5. NARS One Night Stand Cheek Palette.

 This thing has everything, and I love all the colours in it !

Thats all for this month, thanks for reading :)

Cheers, Jennifer

Five Things + Recap

October has been one of the longest months this year for me. 

Trying to get through my piles and piles of school work along with a promotion at work and of course the start of this blog kept me busy but waiting all month long. This is my second last semester at school, as crazy as it is to look back and see how much time has past its insane to me how long this semester is dragging on. With only a month left what seems like only four weeks has a way of going on and on.

On top of waiting for school to end, I am also waiting to finally switch departments at my workplace (for those interested, I'm going from Customer Care/Reception to Marketing) but before I get to switch over I have to train my replacement and timing hasn't been on my side for that part of it, I was hoping to switch by the end of October but things came up and now the switch won't be finalized till mid November. I know its only two weeks longer but its forever in my eyes. But the bright-side to this month has been this blog. I've worked on it on and off for the past couple of weeks and I am really starting to like how it turning out. I still have a long way to go until its completed but I am really starting to like where its headed. 

My five favourite things this month have been

1. My Bow Loafers

I adore these, they go with pretty much everything and the bow really as a girly touch to every outfit. Plus I didn't have to even break them in (unlike some JCREW flats...) !

2. Spray Painting Mason Jars

I ran across a photo of this on Pinterest one day and was obsessed. I ran off to Walmart bought my required items and ta da ! A successful DIY project was made. These jars have come it handy so far I have three. One for the flowers, one for my makeup brushes and one for my pens and pencils (post to come).

3. I was lucky enough to attend a beautiful Indian wedding in October. It was wonderful mix of modern and traditional elements. In addition they were giving way these gorgeous handmade boxes as party favours, my watches fit perfectly inside !

4. Revlon Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya 

This has got to be my favorite colour on my skin tone right now. I've tried the pinky pinks, the nudes and the berries and although some of them have work none of them have been quite like this one. I really its my "my lips but better colour." Downside is I think I've lost it :( and I have yet to repurchase.  I hate repurchasing things I have lost even though they were my favorite, I would be more likely to purchase something new. Are any of you guys like that ?

5. Autumn in General

This has got to be one of my favorite times of the year. Vancouver has seen some great weather the past few weeks making the city even prettier then it usually is.

That pretty much sums up my October, and here's hoping for a better November.
