New Revlon Nail Products

Here are some pictures of a few great new products from Revlon, which I received courtesy of the Revlon Selects program. Scroll down to the bottom to watch my review!

Cafés, Crêpes, Cupcakes And Cashmere

There is no better way to start off the weekend than going out for Saturday brunch with fantastic company. Some of my fellow French conversation class ladies and I visited Celestin on Mount Pleasant Road in Toronto last weekend.

Il n'y a pas de meilleure façon de commencer le week-end que d'aller pour le samedi brunch avec des gens fantastiques. Nous avons visité Celestin sur Mount Pleasant Road, à Toronto la semaine dernière.

Overall I was quite impressed with their service and the quality of my meal...

Joe Fresh Makeup Review

I always get suckered into the simple and clean displays of Joe Fresh makeup at my local Loblaws. After picking up a few of their products, I not only appreciate their display now, but also their impressive quality. Here are a few swatches of my favourite products from the brand:

Joe Fresh matte lipstick in rose, coral. Lip gloss in praline

Covergirl lipstick in heavenly as a comparison, then top-bottom: Joe Fresh matte lipstick in coral, rose, lip gloss in praline

Au centre-ville de Toronto

Last week I went on an early morning shopping trip to the Eatons Centre, with the beautiful Akkila visiting from uni in Ottawa. My day started off very well; I gracefully woke up before my alarm. Unless I'm having a bad dream, this never happens. So everything was all rainbows and flowers, until I was sitting on the subway and looked into my bag...

Yes, the battery decided to stay in my wall instead of joining us on our journey. Greaaaatttttt. iPhone pics and an extra few pounds to lug around. Ahh c'est dommage...
