watchSeller: fawy2068 on eBay
Item: NEW(green)Unisex Geneva Silicone Jelly Gel Quartz Analog Sports Wrist Watch
Paid: $2.87 + free shipping. Worth the price? Yes
Location: China
Delivery: 7 business days
My opinion: One thing I noticed when I received it was that there’s both rose gold (on the face) and silver hardware (on the back where the clasp is). So that’s pretty odd. But for three bucks, I don’t mind it at all. It’s a larger make I’m on the smallest setting of fitting it on my wrist, but then again I have a 5.75″ (very tiny) wrist.

Item: 5 Styles Silicone Cake Muffin Chocolate Cupcake Case Liner Baking Cup Mould DIY
Paid: $5.58 + free shipping. Worth the price? Yes
Location: China
Delivery: 10 business days
My opinion: Not sure whether or not to keep using these silicone molds from China. I’ve heard bad and good things about it. Anyone know? I just love them because they’re non-stick… for real. None of that fake non-stick stuff.

cuticle-oil-10-bus-daysSeller: gogo_newlife123 on eBay
Item: Nail Art Cuticle Revitalise Oil Treatment Soften Tool Nutritional Pen
Paid: $1.39 + free shipping. Worth the price? Yes
Location: China
Delivery: 10 business days
My opinion: I bought both the orange and pineapple scented oil pens and received lemon, and pineapple. I was told I was going to be sent another oil but it never showed. The cuticle oil is very liquid-like instead of an thicker consistency. I won’t be buying from the seller again.

Item: Plastic ring sizer
Paid: $2.92 + free shipping. Worth the price? Yes

2013 Reebok CrossFit Games – Canada Regional East

CFGames 2013One of my coaches at the local CrossFit box I go to, was the only female to qualify for the Canada Regional East games in our tri-city area. We were pretty excited about it and a bunch of us drove to Mississauga yesterday to cheer her on in her two of seven WODS she had to complete in the three days of the games.

CAN-EAST-ANDI2

The first event I watched her, she completed 100 wallballs (14lbs), 100 chest to bar, 100 pistols (in the picture below), and 100 one-armed snatches with 50lbs. Andi

She’s an incredible strong, motivated athlete who I look up to at CrossFit.  She was amazing yesterday. I got chills just watching her and my heart was just pumping for her! So strong and I loved every minute of being there.

I can tell just from this 2013 year alone that my love of CrossFit is right up there with climbing and I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of it. Almost two and a half years in and I’m not ready to stop yet.

The two photos above were not taken by me. In fact I grabbed them off her (my coach) FB page. I did manage to take more than a fair share of pictures yesterday, so here they are!

Coach Andi (yellow bra) cheering on another athlete to finish her 21-15-9 deadlifts (205lbs) and 24″ box jumps.
