OOTWW & TripleFFriday #7

4 Comments

I am beyond excited for tonight’s activities!

If you were checking into my blog on a daily basis you would’ve seen that I told you about the Sport Chek’s Face Off Tennis game that’s happening tonight in Toronto. I’m leaving work early, to attend with the Boyfriend. All thanks to Sport Chek! How great is that?

So, just a quick outfit’s of the work week — then jolly on to the Triple F Friday post!

But before I start. Brett Wilson tweeted at me. Swoon! All thanks to Casie lol. It happened on Monday, and my week? …. My week was made. Canadians will know him from the show The Dragon’s Den. He didn’t say much. But that’s okay, he still at-ed me. I know that’s not a word.

Hilary looks awesome in the bright fall colours. She also moved into a new place!

I told Meg I loved the new bangs on her. I said that she’s so pretty I could stare at her all day. Creepy, huh?

My friend Jeanine started blogging again! I’m so excited. One day I’ll meet her — I mean, she’s only in Toronto!

Head on over to Valerie’s blog and send her some love. Her Boyfriend is off to BC for work again, and they’re going to be apart until April! :(

I get a lot of outfit’s inspiration from J’s Everyday Fashion blog. Check out some of her outfits!

Leanne shows us how to get long lasting make up.

A night with Serena Williams

1 Comment

Serena Williams and I get to hang out tomorrow night.

Okay, we don’t really get to hang out … together per say. But we’re going to be in the same building at the same time. So there ya go.

I tend to unfortunately decline a lot of invitations to attend things in Toronto. Just because they’re on week nights and I live a good drive away and would never be able to make the event on time.

Side note: Morgan says I should move to Gotham City I mean, Toronto. Semi-inside joke that’ll now be everyone’s joke: I knew I was meeting up with Morgan one day last month, and I’d be getting back to my car after dark. But before I left my house, I asked her if she’d walk me to my car. I figured I’d get mugged or something being a single chick walkin’ somewhere on a weekend in the BIG CITY. She said … “It’s not Gotham City, Nancy. But I’ll be your Batman.” And so it stuck.

Okay back to my Serena Williams story.

When SportChek e-mailed me asking me to attend the Face Off Tennis match with them at the Air Canada Centre, I immediately ran to my Boss and asked her if I could work different hours on Friday so I could make it on time.

Ahhgg doesn’t it sound exciting?!

I gotta be honest. I know nothing about tennis. I was enrolled in a fancy tennis club at a young age, but I was really uncoordinated with the darn tootin’ ball and found it difficult. So I quit. Lol. My Boyfriend on the other hand, is joining me in Toronto tomorrow, to watch the match – and he’s played Tennis most of his life. So I know he’s going to enjoy it.

I’ll be sure to bring a camera to take some snaps, and I’m 100% certain I’ll be tweeting and Instagramming from the event!

Philosophy’s Micro Exfoliating Wash

2 Comments

Disclosure: I was sent this product for free. Opinions are my own.

  • 8oz $25 USD or $31 CDN
  • 16oz $37 USD or $46 CDN
  • 32oz $58 USD or $58 CDN

There’s only two skin care lines that I am truly faithful to, and will always re-purchase or try new things. One being Bobbi Brown and the other is Philosophy. You can see in my skin care routine that I’ve been religiously using some of those two names for a good while. Sure they’re both pretty pricey and you have to find them in speciality stores. But your skin is your biggest organ, and you darn well better take care of it.

I last reviewed the Philosophy micro exfoliating peel not too long ago, so I thought it would only seem fit that I now write about what I think of the micro exfoliating wash.

Here’s a quick run-down on what I think.

Pros:

  • A little goes a long way.
  • My skin feels so smooth after using it.
  • Also removes makeup.
  • It’s very gentle and non-irritating on the skin.
  • You can use it on a daily basis.

Cons:

  • The price tag. 
  • The bottle is a little too hard to squeeze out the product.
  • The smell isn’t the best (more clinical than fruity/fresh/or clean scented).

Does it work? As always I love to tell you all my honest opinion of a product. Whether I spent the money on it myself, or I received it for free to review. This product will now go hand-in-hand with my purity cleanser which is always on my counter top in a small travel sized bottle to wash my face morning and night. Instead, I’ll use the micro-exfoliating wash in the shower and leave it in there and use the purity when I need to take off my make up at night.

I use a dime sized amount on my damp face while I’m in the shower. I massage the clear salty-feeling product into my skin for 45-60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly.

I think it’s an all around great product. It’s a nice scrub, but I’d change the smell of it, but that wouldn’t stop me from going out an purchasing it with my own money. I won’t have to do that for a while, because this 8oz bottle I’m sure will last me 10 months or more, from the way I’m using it right now. I think I’ll have to put it in an easier squeeze tube as well, like I do with my purity cleanser.

What’s one of your “Holy Grail” beauty products?

Do you wash your face in the morning, or at night? Or both!
