Emma Watson Photoshoot

** Song of the Day:  Katy Perry - Firework **

Emma Watson I think has grown up to be a really cute girl.  Shes a really good actress and I LOVE her new haircut.  Probably because I have wanted that haircut ever since I can remember but no one will let me do it lol. Of course!  But anyway, I came across this photo shoot of her done by Ellen Von Unwerth for the 2009 issue of Vs magazine and found it absolutely breathtaking.  I love the colours and her liveliness.  Amazing photos.  

Brrr! It's cold!

** Song of the Day:  Guster - Happier **

Around this time of year I always think ... You know... winter isnt so bad.  Its nice in winter and theres nothing wrong with being cold for a little bit.  And I believe it too but then a day like today comes along and all those thoughts go in the garbage lol.  I am not a winter person.  Its not that I don't like winter ... its just that I cant stand the cold.  And there are many reasons for that.  No one has really ever understood me when I try explaining to them what my reasons are for not liking winter so the only way for me to do this is to tell you what I like about winter and what I don't like about winter.  Let me explain:

What I Like About Winter

Snow is gorgeous.  I love it when the sky lights up at night and everything is pink.  Its the most beautiful thing in the world.

When the snow falls ... Its the most romantic time ever!  

I love going down a hill on a toboggan really really fast hoping not to hit the gigantoid bump that will make you fly across the park.

I love lighting the fireplace.  Its peaceful.  And I love the sound of the crackling wood

I love grabbing some hot tea and getting into a blanket on my couch.

Winter clothes are awesome!  Well actually Fall clothes are awesome.  I think I just usually wear fall clothing all winter.  lol.  Scarfs, boots ... all that good stuff.

What I Dislike About Winter

I hate being cold

I hate the wind

I cant handle wind touching my neck.

I don't like being wet... ever.  (unless its a water fight in the summer)

I do not like wearing clunky boots ... it makes you look like a man.  and I'm not a man lol

I hate not being able to wear any shoes I want.  I always have to wear closed toe shoes.  I cant wear no socks.  It sux!  It limits your options.

I hate shoveling the snow

I hate waking up in the morning and going outside just to find that your car and your whole driveway is drowned and you have to shovel yourself out of your house just to get to work.  

I hate smelling like outside (sweat, wet clothes, etc)

I hate my hair getting frizzy cuz of the wetness

I hate wind blowing my hair all over the place and making me look like a monkey

I hate dressing up and looking all nice only to put on a jacket that creases your clothes

I hate people throwing snow in my face ... it takes effort to put on makeup and all that effort and then the snow... uh!

I hate frozen fingers and toes and ears and nose

I hate not being able to feel my chin move

I hate not being able to use my iPhone whenever I want when I'm outdoors

I hate not being able to go outside for a walk

I hate not being able to smile when im outside because my teeth freeze

I hate having glove lint stuck on my rings

I hate not being able to wear nailpolish in a rush on my way out because i have to wear gloves

I hate people bringing salt and snow into the house because I end up having to clean it up 20 million times.

So you see, as much as I like how winter looks ... I'm just not meant to be friends with it.  And I don't think I will ever like winter.  People have tried and tried and I just do not like it.  Oh I hope this winter is not bad!  Please please please don't be a bad winter!  =(

* Ching *

** Song of the Day:  Ching!  **

Maybe I am the only one who talks about things like this but to be honest I can’t possibly be the only one who thinks about them.  Things that don’t happen but maybe should.  Things that don’t really affect our lives in any way what so ever but maybe if we had them and they suddenly disappeared … we would miss them. 

Have you ever wondered what would be like if everything when completed made a sound … like a really light *ching* to let you know it’s done?  Like drying nail polish.  At that exact moment when the last little tiny piece of slightly wet nail polish suddenly closes in and dries, you hear a low subtle *ching* saying “I’m done…  you are free to touch things now”.  Or when you suddenly get that moment of clarity and things make sense you hear a sound that lets you know you are right.  Wouldn’t things be just so much simpler?  It would just be a confirmation on top of the self confirmation you already have.  Don’t you think?

I think it would be an amazing thing to have.  But maybe I really am the only one who thinks this way.  But now you are also thinking about it.  Aren’t you?  =)

Katie Thompson Designs

Some of you may not know this about me but I am a gigantic interior decorating addict.  If I ever walk into a room with you and you notice that I'm quiet... its not because I'm being shy (which I am) but its usually because I'm thinking about all the decorating possibilities the room has, of course based on all the things I find and would love to buy but have nowhere to put, or maybe just appreciating everything that is in the room at the time.  

I'm always attracted to unique things that people normally wouldn't place in a bedroom or a family room.  But I would.  I've been told multiple times that I like weird things and I always respond to it saying "I like it... doesn't mean I want to buy it".  And then I come across certain things that people don't like or wont like but I love it so much I buy it anyway.  And then once I'm done people get why I bought it =)

But anyway... I came across this chair while I was on StumbleUpon and instantly fell in love.  I want to buy this chair and base a whole room around it. 

I love the fact that its built from a vintage suitcase.  Its so different and looks really really comfy!  There is a whole furniture line like this designed by Katie Thompson.  Oh man I love this chair!!!

My New Lip Balm Love

** Song of the Day:  Fefe Dobson - Stuttering **

I feel like I have been missing half my life right now and I'll tell you why.  Oh... and warning ... Yes this is a girly post but I'm sure guys can benefit from this too =).  Anyways ... I go to Shoppers Drug Mart a lot.  And I mean A LOT.  That is pretty much my every day stop on my way home from work and my stop on my way out to go anywhere and sometimes even before work.  I love shoppers but I don't necessarily give them enough credit for the products they carry.  You know... being considered drug store products and everything.  Even though I don't really mind drug store products.  They actually work surprisingly well.  But I had always heard people talk about Burt's Bees products and how they are good but I'm a sucker for packaging.  If the packaging sux... I wont buy the product.  I wont even look at it or give it a chance.  I don't mean to do it... it just happens.  But I was just walking about the store aimlessly and saw the Burt's Bees tinted lip balm so I figured what the heck... Ill get it.  There must be something about it that people are obsessing over.  But to be honest I wasn't expecting it to be any good for me.  Oh how wrong I was.  I got home and right away opened it because of course I cant survive without lip balm.  I put it on and I FELL IN LOVE!  

If you have not yet tried any of the Burt's Bees lip balms and you have a thing for lip balms like me ... you seriously are missing half your life.  Its minty so it makes your lips feel super good all the time.  You feel like you always have fresh minty breath.  If any of you have used the Bath & Body Mentha Lip Tints, its a little like that.  Except its lip balm, not lip gloss.  It stays on a heck of a lot longer and the colour is deeper so it shows up on your lips.  Substitute for yucky lipstick guys!  No joke lol.

LOVE IT!

** Song of the Day:  Katy Perry - Firework **

Hi Everyone,

There is a Victoria's Secret fashion show coming up and I was trying to figure out when it was going to air.  I came across this preview clip of the fashion show during my search and thought it was the cutest video ever.  This is what was happening back stage during rehearsals.  I thought I was the only one obsessing over this song.  Clearly not (wink).  Check it out:

Its airing on November 30th at 8:00 pm if anyone wanted to know =)
