Featuring my co-worker Julie again! Yay! Remember her from last time? I’m so jealous of her tan. Dang Italians! Anyway, here she is:
Yesterday I wore sneakers since I was at a golf tournament all day. I love not “working”! Here’s my OOTWW:
Glymm Girl Review
Due to the Canadian postal strike, my Glymm Girl box was delayed in getting to me. Finally, it ended and I got to see what I ordered.
I was one of the few select people who got to get the box before Glymm Girl launched, and ended up paying only $5 for this box, rather than the $10 they market it for. Amazeeeeeinnnng.
Glymm is based out of Quebec and currently I think they only ship to Canadians. Us canucks are lucky because now we get to choose from two beauty deluxe samplers per month, Glymm Girl and Loose Button! The reason I was pleasently surprised with Glymm Girl is because everything but one of the items in the box, I’ve heard of before. Gucci perfume, Jelly Belly CANDY, OPI nail polish, and La Roche Posay face cream. Not sure if you can get La Roche Posay in the states — can you? I’ve used their brand before and purchased it at Shoppers Drug Mart.
So rather than write more about this new monthly subscription, how about signing up and seeing what I got inside for the July issue?!
Shiny pink packaging = winning.
The orange note there is a welcoming to Glymm and on the backside you see what the retail price is on the products and a little description.

The Gucci perfume reminds me a bit like Lady Million Paco Rabanne perfume, but Flora is a bit more feminine, if you know what I mean. The jelly beans were pink and white – they smelled and tasted like cotton candy. To die for. I think they won my heart sending me candy.

Online auction and bake sale for Susan
Blogger Live Auction & Bake Sale
8am- 11pm (EST)
On Monday, July 25, there will be a live auction and bake sale!
My great blog real life friend (now that we’ve met!) was dealt a really crappy deck of cards lately. First with her shattered elbow, and now was recently diagnosed with Lymphoma— in other words, cancer. Those words hit home as a few of you know my Dad currently battles cancer, and I’m not one to talk much about it. I’m never good in these type of situations and like Morgan, I often just try and make humor out of it all and not dwell on it itself.
One of Susan’s great friends has come up with a fundraiser for Susan which I think is absolutely perfect. An online bake sale and auction of various things. She just started a new job after moving home and while Canada does have a great health care system, because she doens’t have health insurance yet some drugs may or may not be covered. All of the proceeds will go directly to Susan.Â
Susan is currently in Hospital and updates us all on various things from crummy hospital food, to her two surgeries in one week. She’s a toughie, that’s for sure. If you want to hear her full story view her site at The Great Balancing Act, as she is a much better writer than I am giving you all the run down.
Janetha explains it well on her site for the fundraiser. Just click that banner on the top of this blog post and you can read all about it there.
We ♥ you Susan! :)
