Mmm what is that delightful scent?

1 Comment

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!

Fab Four

No Comments

4 is my favorite number, unsure as to yet if it is lucky or not. But I wanted to share with you all, four links that I visit on a daily basis for deals. I found three sister websites that cater to the outdoorsy people. Multiple deals all day long. Not just one.

Steep & Cheap: is for the outdoorsy type of person. Things you’ll find on this website during the day: Sunglasses, Tents, Sleeping bags, Hiking Boots, running sneakers, fleece sweaters, arc’teryx gear, north face stuff, prAna, ice climbing pants, winter jackets…

Chain Love: for the bike lovers. Whether you’re a road or mountain biker, you’ll find a crazy ton of cool things for so many % off. Bike jerseys, helmets, ACTUAL bikes lol, drink mixes for the ride, pedals, bike parts of all kinds.

Whiskey Militia: for the skater/teenager. A lot of DC, Volcom items on here. Board shorts, Snowboards, surf boards, sunglasses, t-shirts, skater shoes, dakine … etc.

Tram Dock: Their newest website yet. Caters to the skiier, snowboarder and ice climbers. In need of 59% off Goretex gloves? Oh they’ve got’em. Tram Dock also has a variety of Rossignol ski boots, and so on.

I’d advice that if you were going to purchase anything since it is listed in the U.S. that you make it worth while. The other day I purchased my great awesome purple Gravis bookbag (it came in the mail on Thursday! Yes!) on Whiskey Militia for $13. Shipping was $11 and the original price was something like $65.00, so I got a good deal. Shipping will always be around $11 no matter how light/heavy the product is. So make it worth while. However, there was a few times that I didn’t get charge shipping at all, which I don’t understand. But there’s also some items that cannot be shipped to Canada. It will tell you at the time of purchase when you enter in your Postal Code.

You cannot add items to your cart and purchase at a later time of the day. Pretty much impulse buys only, and you need to act fast because if it’s a great deal – it’ll go quickly.

These sites are different than Woot (U.S.) and Dipwa (CAN), because they aren’t just one–day deals. Sometimes the item can last 30 minutes listed on the sites occasionally longer, but if it’s popular they will either pull if off quickly just to pinch at your nerves while you’re trying to decide on a size to buy, or it will be sold out within 4 minutes. Not even kidding. It’s addicting refreshing those four sites, trying to get deals all day long.

So, I suggest you check all four sites out — your visa will either hate you, or you’ll thank me for showing you the great wonderful Winners-Like websites. ;)
