I’m not coughing as much as I was previously! Hurray! To celebrate, I left the house. Jumpsuit, F21 Tights, hue Shoes, Spring Earrings, Mina-made, wedding Cardi, Joe Fresh I must’ve lost weight in my holiday from working, because this jumpsuit has not fit in months. Months! I’m not complaining. I went out with Mr Aaron and we talked nerd-things. It was really nice to leave the house, I tell you what. In other nerd-news, I was looking at my site statistics this evening, and it looks like the good people of Germany (119) and Brazil (55) like me! Guten Tag, … Continue reading Jump!(suit)

Here’s where we see just how deep my problem goes: Lipsticks. I love them. I love shimmer, I love matte, I love cremes. I like how they feel going on, I like how they gradually fade over the course of the day (or hour, in some cases!). Lipsticks are my weakness. If I count correctly, there are forty-six lipsticks pictured. After this, I remembered another half-dozen or so in various purses, so let’s say I have about fifty shades. Bright pinks are my favourite. They pack a colour punch, but seem less intimidating than a rich red. Though I do … Continue reading My name is Sabrina, and I might be a makeup hoarder, PT2: Lipsticks and NailPolish

I got to leave the house again! We took Vex to the vet to have her stitches removed. She’s doing okay. She still has a cone (giant cone), and still goes for the tail, but less frequently, and she comes out and spends time with us instead of hiding all the time. Julie’s apparently got plans to build them a giant cat tree. Hopefully she will enjoy it, and it will amuse her enough that the lure of delicious tail is lessened. The Lady Cone: So, we went off to the vet. I had the day to myself, as usual, … Continue reading Final Vet Visit (?)

I love the white bag with this month’s Glymm! Contents: Evolvh UltraShine Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner LaFresh Waterproof Makeup Remover Bentaberry Super Moisturizing Face Cream for Girls Villainess Dulce En Fuego Whipped Body Crème Last month’s cream from Bentaberry was really nice, but stung a bit. I’m hoping this one is slightly milder but even if it isn’t, it feels great on the skin. The size of the Villainess sample is really nice, and I loved the LaFresh nail polish removers, so the makeup removers are exciting! I’m pleased with this month’s bag. Continue reading Glymm, September 2012

I had errands! On Tuesday, I went out to meet Mary Jane about a hat. It is lovely. While out, I had lunch with Lauren, in the Eaton Centre food court. Still being sick, we opted for big asian soups. I got a korean kalbi tang, and Lauren a new noodle spot, Nudo, where they make the noodles fresh. Both were pretty fantastic. I wore fall clothes: Boots, Naturalizer Jeans, Reitmans Sweater, F21 Necklace, Ardene Earrings, Mina-made (wedding) and.. cape It’s cold enough for full-on outerwear. It’s fall. Time for scarves and capes and boots and layers. I’m a little … Continue reading Leaving the House!

Leggings as pants, that’s how. Leggings, American Apparel Tee, Old Navy Aaron’s Dirty Old Reebok sweater, Aaron’s Remember when I used to get dressed every day? This week I will make a plan to like, leave the house and stuff. Last week I was sick, sick, sick! I’ve not forgotten about showing you the rest of my medicine cabinet, but today I’m sorting socks. Oh yeah, sorting socks. Continue reading How am I adjusting to life as a housewife?

As part of my “Be Productive While Not Working” thing, I am cleaning out the medicine cabinet. For the first time, I laid everything out and I realized: I have a problem. There is so much stuff it doesn’t fit on my kitchen table. There are things I can’t imagine finishing. There are more things than I could reasonably shake a stick at. This is how it was ‘before’. I have quite a few palettes: all three Shady Lady, the ELF 100-colour palette, the Sephora shopper, Naked, and Smoked. Then there’s the individual shadows: My favourites are the 24-hour colour … Continue reading My name is Sabrina, and I am a makeup hoarder, or something. (Pt 1)

My first day not working is in progress, and so far it is going well! I’m making pickles, roasting tomatoes, and a knock at the door brought my Julep box! I wasn’t super super keen on the colours in my regular option, Classic With a Twist, it was a sort of taupey brown and a black colour. I went with Boho Glam because the colours seemed potentially similar to Mina’s wedding colours, and because it was the only box to come with a brown mascara instead of black. I really love the little cards it came with this month. The … Continue reading September 2012 Julep Box

Sebastian Potion 9 Lite Biore Makeup Removing Towlettes Kroylan for GlossyBox Kryolan Classic Lipstick Befine Fine Food Skincare Trend Trunk Gift Card Elastoplast SOS Blister The lipcolours are a dusty rose and a bright red.

Did you know that I’m 29 now? I am, as of last weekish. My birthday day itself was absolutely wonderful. The lad took me to a petting farm, no lie. I saw goats, and baby goats, and deers, and cows!, and horsies, and donkeys, and llamas (no hats, though) and giant pigs. Also, on our way to the farm we walked through the park thingie and there were geese and swans, just sitting around! It was really neato. In the evening, he had planned a nice dinner with my friends. Only Aaron and Lauren came, so it was a nice … Continue reading Birthday Roundup – OR – I am incredibly spoiled by wonderful friends
