Is it me, or is this winter the one that will go down in history for being the one where every geographical area did their best to win the Cold Olympics? It’s like we’re all in competition to see whose weather is the most atrocious. This morning it was minus 35 with windchill, which is […]
Nicole’s Favourite Things: The Makeup Edition Part 2
February 2, 2014 by
Superbowl Sunday! I’ve already made my kale chips for the big day, which, I should note, will only be eaten by me. My husband has the Superbowl set to record so that he can fast forward through the commercials. You see, we don’t get the exciting and fun commercials up here; we merely get local […]
Nicole’s Favourite Things: The Makeup Edition
January 30, 2014 by
I was planning a post about my newfound love for BB creams, and then my friend Lynn wrote a post about how she’s not wearing makeup anymore. Let me tell you, I’m a makeup junkie: I love makeup, I wear it every day even if I’m home all by myself or just going to the […]

PUPPY!

So I guess we’re cheering for the Seahawks now? Even my local old-people Co-Op was on the Patriots (short lived) bandwagon: It’s very strange, the whole continent seems to be in some kind of polar vortex/ snowpocalypse, and here in Calgary, things are mild. We’re usually the trendsetters in the polar vortex world, and […]
Late to the party.

I have been relentlessly cheery today, so much so that I’m even annoying myself. Maybe it’s all the green smoothies I’ve been drinking; today I made one with frozen strawberries and, while it was very tasty, it looked like sludge. I think my cheerfulness is actually directly related to the unseasonably warm temperatures we have […]
