I rarely purchase regularly priced items when I need razors, feminine products, soap, toothpaste.. .you know the health and beauty crap you buy at drug stores. I need to save all of that extra money for my AVEDA hair products! (Man, do I ever love those products.) When there are sales at places such as Shoppers Drug Mart I stock up! So for the last little while I’ve been using some pink brand of deodorants with a black top – Soft and Dry maybe? I don’t know, I never read the labels when I’m applying it. So my last swipe of deodorant for my previous stick was all used up and I chucked it last night. This morning I applied Lady Speed Stick in Tropical Breeze. On it went, then buttoned up my shirt and headed out for the day.

While I was on my first of two buses heading to work this morning, I was thinking: “Hmm, that lady in front of me is smelly subtly sweet today. I wonder what it is?”

This afternoon at work I was like … WAIT! said lady on bus is not here. My nose is after picking up that delightful scent again. *sniff sniff* – Dude I think that’s me, I’m the one that smells awesome!

My next stick after Tropical Breeze, is WATERMELON. Oh boy, I can’t wait to try that one out. he he. I love new deodorant! Love anything that has to be opened and brand new. Opening up a new tube of toothpaste or a new toothbrush. Does anyone get excited over little things like this? Or am I the only weird one out there? :P Doesn’t take much to make me smile, that’s for sure.

I bought my flight home, for Christmas today! By the time Christmas rolls around, I have not been to Newfoundland for 18 months. TOO LONG! I’m super duper happy and totally on cloud 9 right now. Going home for a total of two weeks!

Pretty please?

There is a video contest going on at MEC’s website. In 2004 I went on a road trip across Newfoundland and was filmed while bouldering in Gros Morne at a place called The Arches. You can watch and vote for the awesome video here. I’m not sure when the contest ends, but please give us your vote! Unfortunately I’m not in the film very much, mostly spotting but the guys talking are literally my best friends from home — can’t wait to see you b’ysss (in the first part I’m wearing a yellow tank and throughout the last part you see me bouldering on an overhang and I’m wearing a dark tank). It’s great to see this video almost finished! I want to go home :)

Film by John Redpath.

On the right hand bar of “films like this” there is also another climbing film done from a few friends back home titled Newfoundland Climbing – The Fifth Element. It’s currently in the winner’s spot right now. That one is very well done by a buddy named Trevor. You should watch that one too.

Thanks all! xo

It’s only a matter of time until the bots get my other posts, but I’m wondering why I’m getting spammed on just one entry. It’s all about the wonderful world of old men and viagra. How the F to I stop this from happening, and is there a plugin?

HELP! It’s so annoying to moderate lol.
