CALIFORNIA LIVING, CANADIAN MADE
I’m itching to run again. I’ve compiled a few little races that I’ve done in the past to motivate me. As you can see on the top of the page here, I’ve added a RACES page.
There’s a building not too far from my apartment that has a track, where you can run for free. I don’t have a gym membership anymore and I’m not about to pay $400 yearly, just yet as I’m not fully committed to going to the gym.
I’m going to start running again.
Do you have any blogger business cards? Wanna win some?
A rep from Next Day Flyers contacted me to giveaway some business cards to you guys and I obviously accepted to do so, because I think it’d be neat to carry around blogger business cards. I’d hand them out to everyone and post them everywhere and anywhere.
I mean, anyone going to blogger meet ups, or conferences in the upcoming year? Having business cards with your name, twitter, e-mail, website and possible youtube url’s help out people to remember you and also visit your blog after the meet up. It was fun going to the Toronto Blogger meetup in January, as everyone had all sorts of neat business cards, and flyers handed out. I personally haven’t thought of it, but I thought it was clearly a genius idea to have some handy to give out.
Okay, so how it works is that one reader of mine from the Continental US will win a set of 250 standard business cards printed on 14pt card stock. Full color on the front and black and white on the back.
Entering is easy as pie. Mmm lemon meringue pie.
Next Day Flyers will print them with next day turnaround time and ship them anywhere in the Continental US. Next Day Flyers will be in charge of picking a winner using random.org. From there, the customer service team will contact the winner via e-mail and set everything up.

7 Things About Me
1. I am addicted to my Avene lip balm. Just like Angela with her lip balms. I kinda stole her idea off reading her blog post about it. But it’s true. I’ve never used a lip balm before this one, mainly because I just didn’t like the feel of the others. 
My lip balm at work. I’m also terribly addicted to chewing gum at work. Ignore the package of United States Orbit gum that I chewed through in an afternoon. I know..
Same brand of lip balm at my desk at home.
I keep one in my purse too. Faux fur purses get so many stares from strangers. Awkward. 
Oh, also one near my bed. Because I need soft lips while I sleep didn’t you know. That’s a candy wrapper for you, Janae. There’s one in my car too, and a few back ups elsewhere around the apartment. I don’t think you need a photo of all of them.
2. Starbucks gives me gut rot like no other. TMI? But I still feel the need to indulge every once in a while.
lol this one was free for my Starbucks free birthday drink. Promise, I don’t normally buy Venti fraps.
Hazelnut Latte’s are pretty darn tasty.
My local starbucks doesn’t have those insert sticks where you put the stick in the lid so when you drive it won’t spill. These stickers do NOTHIN’. Also, I must find out what nail polish that was on my nails. SO CUTE. I pick good colors, don’t I? :)
3. I climb. Yet I’m still somewhat afraid of heights. Here’s some cool photos of me. YAY CLIMBING!
Fun right? These photos are all old. Since moving to Ontario I don’t get to climb as often as I’d like to. There’s NO climbing gym for the public here. 
4. I pronounce certain words wrong. Like Kaiser buns. Even though I’m corrected each time, I repeat the correct word, and then forget it minutes later and call it the wrong thing again. Ky-zer…Kay-zur? Which one is it? What’s wrong with my brain? I can’t think of anything else but Kaiser at the moment.
5. I like peanut butter only on it’s own. Like sandwiches, but I’m not a fan of Reeses Pieces, or chocolate and pb mixed together. I can eat chocolate covered peanuts though.
6. I enjoy looking in my rear view mirror of my car. When it’s raining, or its freshly snowed, to see where my tire tracks go. Is that weird? Does anyone else do that?
7. I have the neatest hand printing. I always get compliments on it. For instance, I went into Sephora and opened up my book that I write things that I want/need down and the SA ended up saying she thought it looked typed out. Huh.
Oh. I’m done already? That didn’t take too long. If you’re interested in reading more I also have a ‘25 random facts about me‘ listed in my about section of this site. But you can shortcut to it here. It’s a good read.
Oh my word, I have to pass this tag along to 15 other bloggers? I hope I can think of 15 other that haven’t done it. Hmm, let’s see…oh I know who’s going to be #1 on my list.
