Post MAC Warehouse Sale

Hey lovelies!

Okay so today was the MAC, Estee Lauder, Clinique, Bobby Brown and other brands sale and I have got to say that I had a mind blasting time (lol). My cousin and I got there around 9am and had to wait in line for almost 20 minutes. It was like waiting for a ride at Wonderland, not so much fun, all you want is to get on the ride! Anyways, the sale was held at Markham Fairgrounds and the products were situated in 3 rooms. The prices were so affordable, I can't even begin to explain! I bought foundation, fix+rose mist, mineralized skin finish, all at only $10 dollars. How amazing is that? Lipsticks and nail polishes were $5 dollars each and there were an assortment of perfumes and perfume sets for $22 dollars each. They also had make-up bags, totes, clutches, and other bags for $2-$8 dollars each and train cases ranging between $60-$90 dollars. I didn't get a train case because I'm not a make-up artist so I don't need it but I picked up a few make-up bags and an adorable dark purple clutch. They also had bins stocked with stuff for only $3 dollars, like mascara, eyeshadow wands, eye pencil sharpeners, DKNY body wash for men, and lots more. I had an amazing time and I'm so glad I went, since I was thinking that it might not be worth it. OMG I totally forgot something so important. You get a free gift just for coming to the sale (today it was a MAC body lotion, it's different each day) and they had a mini pre made gift bag which you could buy for $5 dollars flat. The entire $5 dollars goes to the breast cancer charity and the gift is awesome. The kit includes all MAC products; blush, lipstick, eyeliner and eyeshadow. So that's all for now, keep a look out for my next post since it will include pictures and prices of the things I bought so that you guys can get a better understanding of what you can find at the sale. If you guys have any questions about the sale, just leave a comment or e-mail me and I'll get back to you ASAP. Thanks for reading and good night :)

M.A.C Warehouse Sale

Hello my lovelies!

I know I haven't updated my blog in quite a while but I have been extremely sick for almost 6 weeks!!! Isn't that crazy? I got sick and I was like, whatever I'll be fine, but it flared up into an extreme viral infection. It got to the point where I couldn't swallow because my glands were swollen to hell. After that I finally decided to go to the walk in clinic and I had a really bad experience there (I'll share that in my next blog). I started taking antibiotics that were prescribed to me and I started to feel better but even now I'm not perfect. My throat still hurts and my nose is stuffy and I have an ear infection :( Well anyways, I'll stop with my sad story and move onto something a little bit more fun. I have some really exciting news to share with you all...I'm going to the M.A.C, Estee Lauder, Clinique and other brands warehouse sale on Sunday March 7, 2010. You actually have to be an employee to attend these sales, but I was able to find tickets on Kijiji. I've never been to any of these kinds of events before so I'm really excited to see how it goes and what treasures I will find. I've seen a few haul videos of other girls who have been to previous sales and they found some really nice things for like $3-$15 dollars. I'm going to be taking my camera with me so that I can record while I'm there and then I'll upload it to YouTube so that you all can see what it was like. Well I guess that's all for now, I;m gonna get to bed since I have another doctor's appointment early in the morning. I have lots more to share with you all, so I'll be back soon to update you all on my life! Good Night little pickles!

Lifestyle Change

Hey Everyone!

So I've been going through some changes recently and I thought I would share some of them with you just because I feel like if I tell you then I will actually really stick with the changes. Most of you that know me, know how unproductive I can be. When I'm at home, I do absolutely nothing and I'm just sick and tired of being this way. I'm sure that if I can change my lifestyle a little bit I will be happier, more active, and my mom will be happier too. Pretty much what I'm trying to say is that all I do everyday is sleep, eat, do my schoolwork and go to school. And I don't think that this is a healthy lifestyle at all. I need to stop sleeping till 1pm and start getting more involved in the community. I feel like I've been living this ignorant lifestyle which revolves solely around me and I am going to change no matter what! From now on I vow to start waking-up earlier in the morning, helping around the house with chores that need to be done, start putting 100% with my school life and GET A JOB. Honestly, it's not like I haven't tried looking for a job but I can't find one that I like. I loved my job at forever 21, but I had to leave since it was costing me more to get to and from work then what I was making. I have applied to so many hotels in downtown and other retail stores around my house but haven't received a call. This is why I am really hoping that I can get a job at the new Novotel Hotel, since that is my dream job. The economy is really putting a damper on my mood (do peaople really still talk like this? i don't know..lol..I thought I'd try it out) So anyways the point of this blog is that I am going to change my lifestyle and I am going to be happier! Just thought I'd update you on my awakening. I actually already tried out my new life this past Saturday and Sunday and I loved it. I got up early on Saturday and did 7 loads of laundry, made a bookshelf, and changed my room's setting. And then today I woke up early, completed my marketing plan, read 4 chapters, studied for my accounting exam, cleaned my room and watched the super bowl. And this may not sound like a big thing to most of you, but if you know me you would know what an accomplishment this is. I feel really proud of myself and I hope I can continue on with this new plan. Tomorrow I plan on getting up early, showering, reading ch 9 and 10 for my cost control class, reading ch 5 for my marketing class and then running some errands for my mom, and then heading to school. I love that I go to school, I just hate that it takes me an hour and a half to get to school. It just feels like such a waste of time, since I could be doing something else like hanging out with my family or my girls or something. I'm just rambling on aren't I? Jeez. Okay I'm going to go to bed now. I'm so tired. Thanks for listening to my rant and I'll be back soon to write a proper entry. Good Night!

New Novotel Hotel Location Opening Soon!

Hey Everyone,

So I’ve been looking for jobs recently since I don't work at Forever 21 anymore, and I just learned about a new hotel that is opening up near my house and I am so excited. As a lot of you know, I want to go into the hotel business, which requires that I have at least 2-3 years of prior hotel work experience. Since the economy sucks right now, I haven't been able to get a job at a hotel since none of them are hiring and I’m just so excited that a new hotel is opening up so close to me. It would be amazing if I got a job there since my travel time would be close to nothing and I would be able to get the experience that I need. I had heard of the Novotel brand before but I wasn't too familiar with it so I decided to take a look at their website and I have to honestly say that it is a beautiful hotel. It’s very modern, clean and sophisticated. Hopefully if I get the job, I will be allowed to make a few videos of the different rooms they offer and upload them to YouTube for all of you to see. So, I don’t really have anything else to say, I’ve been sick for almost 2 weeks which is why I don’t really have any other news or moments to share with you since I’ve been stuck at home. I did completely organize and clean my room, and it looks amazing. Speaking of my room I just remembered something that I want to tell you all. Ok so I have this weird habit that when I put new bed sheets on my bed and my room is clean and organized, I don’t want to leave my room for even a second and all I want to do is study or do my homework or something productive. Even if my mom calls me downstairs for something or my dad needs help, I get really upset! I don’t know why that happens. All I want to do is sit in my room and do my homework or do something very productive or just sit on my bed. It’s really odd. I don’t know if it’s only me or if this happens to other people too. I just think it’s so funny, because I become very attached to my room and I bite my family’s head off if they bug me. I don’t know, maybe it’s just the clean environment that makes me feel really positive but I still think it’s odd. Does this happen to any of you? Let me know because if it does then I will feel so much better about my weird habit. Bye for now and I hope to be back soon with something more fun for you all!

Oh here’s the link to the hotel that I applied to. It’s opening date is March 1, 2010. Check it out and keep it in mind for future trips!

YouTube Guru and American Road Trip

Hey Everyone!

So lately I've been watching quite a bit of these make-up tutorials and funny videos on youtube and I'm kind of getting the urge to start making my own video's. Honestly I've always wanted to make my own video's and upload them on youtube but the only reason I'm holding back is because I'm not sure what to focus on. I am really leaning towards review's of products since I have tried a million products already. I have information on a lot of products so I might as well share my opinion and thought's with others since it might help them out. But I'm not sure. I don't really know what's holding me back. I want to do it so badly but I'm nervous about the negative comments I will receive (every youtuber gets them- there's haters everywhere!) I'll take some time to think it through and then I'll let you all know what my final decision is. Oh and just to share with you all, I am planning on taking a road trip across America with my cousins. There's so many places I want to see, so were thinking of doing a two week road trip so that we can maximize our to do list. I am so excited since I've only been to New York and have not seen anything else in America. I love traveling! Were not sure what states where going to visit yet but as soon as I have details I will be sure to share them with you all. Ok so I'll speak with you all very soon! Good Night :)

Travel Videos

Hey!

Just wanted to remind all of you to watch my video's, which showcase my travel adventures as well as hotel review's. I don't have that many but I'm sure you can still benefit from the ones that I have made. My video's can be found in the video bar, which is located in the left hand panel on the main page of my blog. Hope you enjoy them!

Faith 21 Finally Here in Canada!!

Hello my lovelies,

So remember how I wrote a post regarding Faith 21 and how I had a fit that they were not going to introduce the line in Canada? Well I was wrong! Faith 21 has come to Canada and I have got to say that it is a beautiful thing. :) There is a catch though…It has only been introduced at one Forever 21 location and won’t be introduced at any of the other locations until the owner is satisfied with the sales that it makes. So right now, Faith 21 can only be found at Fairview Mall in Toronto, Canada and nowhere else! I have seen the line and I have to say that I was a little bit disappointed. There are two reasons for this which are a) there is not a lot of selection or styles to choose from. The owner didn't want to take a risk of introducing a new line which may not have sold so he started to start off slowly and then increase from there if there was a positive response. So far I believe there has been a very positive response and they have slowly started bring in new merchandise. Reason b) is simply because I found that some of the clothes do not fit as well as they do at other plus size clothes and the reason for this is because Faith 21 is a junior plus size line which really makes a difference in the sizing. But after saying that I also have to be honest and add that this does not mean that you will not be able to find anything that you like. I have been to the locations numerous times and I always find at least 5 things that fit me and I usually fit into a 3x at Voluptuous and 2x at Addition Elle. So don’t feel too disheartened, because I am sure that there is something for everyone. I just wanted to paint a true picture for you because I was completely shocked and bummed out when I first went to Fairview Mall to take a peek at the line. I was so excited and I left the store with NADA. But slowly I realized that I have to give things a try because the material really makes a difference in how the clothing fits. So if a few things don’t fit right, don’t give up. Just think positive and keep trying and you will be surprised at what you find. Also as the sales increase the owner will have to bring in more variety and may even decide to bring in the 3x size (since right now they only have up to 2x available). On that note I would like to end this entry by sharing some news with you all. I applied for the Faith 21 Specialist position at Fairview Mall and I got the job. WOO HOO!!!! I am so excited to start my new job and really push sales and push the owner to bring in more stuff. I will fight hard to ensure that things change at Faith 21! I hope this post has gotten you excited about future shopping spree’s and I hope to see all of you at Fairview!

Oh and I just realized that the website states that size 3x is coming soon. SUCCESS!!
