American Readers, pipe up!
Get this — I was contacted by a company in the States even though I’m in Canada, to do a contest for my American readers! That’s pretty cool hey? A woman from the online store Fashion to Figure contacted me and we both agreed that I’d do a giveaway. While I did ask that if my contest could be available for US and Canadian readers, unfortunately it couldn’t happen as they can only ship to domestic US addresses.
I’m not sure how many American readers I have but I’m not about to reject a good giveaway that I feel some people would be interested in. In the past I have shrugged off (and of course replied kindly) to a few companies saying I am not interested in certain giveaways as it doesn’t flow with my blog. But I think people will appreciate this one.
Fashion to Figure is a women’s full-fashion company who carries trendy and of course fashionable clothing for plus size women at a good price. They’re offering my readers in the United States a pair of cute jeans. They gave me a list to choose from, and I thought that the jeans were the best prize. Don’t you agree?
Are you eligible to win these jeans from Fashion to Figure? See the rules and regulations below!
Easy Rules & Regulations:
- Contest closes on Friday, November 5 at 3pm EST. (I beg you, do not enter once the contest has closed. Please? That’s just disrespectful since it shows you didn’t read the easy, simple rules.
- Contest is only open to USA readers.
- Comment as often as you wish.
Pamper yourself, and have a look at what they have available. Remember — it only ships to domestic US addresses.
Photo re-cap weekend.
Picture post re-cap of the weekend! First of all, it’s my AWESOME bosses birthday today. Doubt she reads my blog, or even knows about it. But I wanted to just let that out.
Friday I worked at the other office (and totally took advantage of our full length mirrors. Hey, I don’t have one at home, or at my other office!) which is in the twin-city and about 10km’s away from my house.
When it’s someone’s birthday, the birthday girl/guy brings in treats for all of the staff. The office that I normally work out of is quite small and we neverrrr have birthdays on week days it seems, and even if they do – they don’t bring in treats for us :(
Well, my boss definitely filled our tummy’s with some make-your-own sundae’s! What an awesome thing to do, especially on a gorgeous sunny Friday afternoon. Tons of goodies and toppings.
Here’s mine. This may or may not have been my second helping. Chocolate whip cream, skor bits, and caramel sauce! My mouth is watering, and my stomach is hurting just looking at it. P.S. Cherries, fruit and caramel don’t mix well together and doesn’t make the best appetite suppressant review ;)
Aerie gave out gift cards which had a $10, $25, or some insane amount of money guaranteed on it, so I ended up spending some on fresh new undies.
I LOVE buying underwear and I hardly ever need to do laundry because of it. I should probably purge it however, since I have way too many. But! Here’s my newest editions. Cute huh!?
The other day I mentioned on Locupleto that I had a gift card that I needed to spend. Well, the boyf and I headed out to a late night supper to Montana’s restaurant and ate ourselves silly. We didn’t even get an appetizer or dessert. It was all you can eat rib night (he had ribs) and I had my famous super large helping of chicken nachos! I think I devoured the whole plate.
In all our glory.
Now today was especially different as I rarely drive my car (myself) out of the city. My cousin who sort of lives in Guelph (sometimes Ottawa lol) was around, so puppster and I headed on over to spend the afternoon with her, her new adopted 5 year old Pom/Yorkie called Hagrid! Yes! From Harry Potter :) I didn’t get to take any photos of them together since Hagrid doesn’t like people, but doesn’t mind dogs. It was a bit overwhelming for Alfie I think because he’s totally conked out tired now.
Gotta run to the store and get some essential milk and bread now! Later gators.

OH MY WORD. 1 DAY LEFT of NaBloPoMo! You guys. I better not miss or forget to post tomorrow or I’ll freak. Maybe I’ll post every hour until midnight or 1AM so I technically posted on the 30th too. That’s pretty intense though. Forget that whole idea.
Who’s ready for Christmas? Not ready to talk about that yet? That’s cool. Let’s go onto a different subject. My favorite reads on the interwebs.
Even though my favorite reads haven’t changed I’ve found a couple of more new blogs that I really enjoy reading and subscribe to via google reader / RSS. As much as I enjoy all the subscriptions, there’s just a few that get me overly excited and I just have to read those first, I get so excited — or I save the best one’s for last. Which ever … I sometimes do both, skim through all the other blogs and race to my favorites. Maybe that’s kind of weird of me, but it’s how I rollllllllllllll. Man, I hate that term.
Confessions of a Wannabe Fashionista: K has been my inspiration to do “outfit of the day” posts, even though I don’t do them that often, I have decided to up the ante and try out new things that is already in my closet. For instance, I spent one of my Friday nights (don’t say anything!) getting different outfits together and layering my tops for some added texture/style/fashion. It turned out so good that I honestly have 3 weeks worth of work clothes picked out, including pants, socks, bras and undies. I don’t have that many bras or pants — but I know what to pair them with when that certain day comes around. Take a look at some of her posts, she’ll also probably tell you some of the J Crew codes that offers free shipping. Be careful, you may become a J Crew-a-holic like I have reading her site.

Iowa Girl Eats: Again, Kristin has inspired me to eat more healthy in the household as I’m the primary (okay, only) cooker in the house. Her fun, upbeat, posts are exciting to read and I love all the photos and different angles of shots she posts of her food. Mmm, mouth watering tasties! Go check her out, if you’re bored for food ideas — I’m sure reading her entries will encourage you to cook healthier too, like she did me! I also found out about honey crisp apples from reading her site. If you haven’t tried them out, you MUST. They’re much better than Golden Delicious, Royal Gala and all the other tasty ones. Seriously? You’ll never go back after trying Honey Crisp!

Five Blondes: These 5 blondes are all sisters, and what I find super sweet about it all is that some of them are spread out throughout Canada and still stay in touch and blog randomly. Not all of them live in Ontario! I also think I met one of the five when we both lived in Guelph, but neither of us can really remember, I just found her face so familiar when I started reading their blog. When I was younger I secretly wanted a little brother because I wasn’t a fan of girls as a kid, maybe that’s why I have so little female friends. But now that I’m much older, it would’ve been much more rational of me to have sisters. To wear their clothes, to have girly chats with, and I guess reading 5 Blondes entries, I’m sort of getting that? As odd as that may seems. Or maybe I just want to be BFFs with Leah! I’m not sure how to describe their writing style because all of them are so different! I guess their website is similar to mine; posting about whatever is on their mind, new shopping hauls in Toronto, First 5 blonde baby. I also found out about NaBloPoMo from Leah (one of the 5) and decided to copy!
