Extended...Aritzia Warehouse Sale 2014 Fall/Winter and New Spring Wish List

They've extended the sale! Still not enough for me to go...

But I did spot 2 new Spring items I'll be definitely popping by to try...

Update...Makeup Decluttering

From my last post, I managed to go through all my makeup and weed out keeps vs throw away or gift...

Here's a reminder of the chaos...
Gifts, back to mac and garbage is already tossed...
Keeping for polish: What I consider to by my Holy Grails...will continue to repurchase (except the Chanel May)
Opi Big Apple Red (I use this for hands and feet)
Essie Limited Addiction (I use this for hands and feet)
Essie Mademoiselle (I use this for hands only)
Essie Cute as a Button (I use this for feet only)

As you know from my last post I mentioned I wanted to tackle the feat of decluttering my makeup, and I think I did an excellent job considering I'm a hoarder :D
First step was getting rid, and next will be organizing what I kept. I'm hoping to get that done the following week and will post an updated pic...

Thanks for tuning in and have a great weekend! Also if you're inspired and plan to declutter, please share pics!

Aritzia Warehouse Sale 2014...Fall/Winter Edition


Anyone going???

Update...New Beginnings

Hello Everyone! I apologize for being MIA this last week has been hectic, but a good hectic!

In case you missed it...

I gave birth! As I mentioned previously, 2014 will hold new and exciting paths... and a definite change in the blog. While I won't detour too much from makeup, skincare and clothes I would love to share some experiences from pregnancy and post. I know I had so many questions, and it was difficult to find resources. Also, I'd love to share baby's must haves and such! 

Other things on my mind...
I was reading this great post from Katherine, and it inspired me to declutter my makeup!
I hardly use all of my makeup and seriously have no time to get all fancy now. So in the next few weeks I'll re-evaluate and toss!
My goal is to downsize into the 2 drawer inserts seen above. (found those at Homesense on one of my shopping trips.)

I also have been wanting a clear case forever, but that just asks for more hoarding. I'll have a better idea what to look for once I declutter. But I would purchase one of these if I do:
I did also spot some great acrylic cases at Homesense so may return for those if the Muji's are still sold out.

That's it for now and I'll try my best to post periodically! Thank you for visiting!

Valentine's Gift Idea...On a Budget

Something I found on a recent shopping excursion in Granville Island...


My Verdict: Praiseworthy. This doesn't break the bank and it's something you can both share. I happily stubbled upon it whilst shopping for beads at BeadWorks.

And if you're not married or common-law, these ones are cute...

Landmark Ring Dish (hint for your next trip together)

Lunar New Year...2014 Wood Horse

Hope everyone had a safe and joyous Lunar New Year celebration...

Here's what I did...
Spent the day making a flower arrangement with flowers I purchased from Whole Foods..

Spent the night satisfying a craving(green onion and ginger crab and baked tapioca) at Western Lake Restaurant with the family...

Hope everyone had a chance to spend it with family and friends, here's to the Year of the Horse!
