Friday Finds

Sweet Supplies Store - Doggy Tape
Okay, I know that tape is a weird thing to love, but I like craft tape a lot because it adds that little extra 'oo la la' to a project. The reason I love this particular roll of tape is pretty obvious... puppies!

Zooz Jewelry - Sterling Silver Dino Necklace
I had a really hard time picking just one design from this artist to share. I picked the T-rex for you, Marissa! There are so many cute designs, definitely go check them out!

Hooligan Alley - Acorn & Thimble Necklaces
How cute are these!? If you don't know the story behind these pendants and you enjoy a bit of whimsy, check out Peter Pan (it's one of my favorite movies).

Paperface Studio - Dandelion Necklace
I found a lot of beautiful pendants on my Etsy adventures this week! This dandelion necklace reminds me of running through the grass when I was a little kid. Great memories :)

Lenny Mud - Panda Mug
Who doesn't love a hot beverage and some cookies? I died laughing at this when I saw it, I'm not sure why. I think my brain reached an awesome overload and picked laughter as the knee jerk reaction.
Ovejita Be! - Owl Brooches
Aren't these brooches cute!? I have a nice little collection of brooches from Ovejita Be!, but I just can't stop adding to it. These owls have quickly been added to my 'want' list.

Remember when I said that every Wednesday I would update you guys on my attempts at healthy living? Well, I fell off the wagon and was eating lots of take-out food and goodies. I actually sat and glared at my elliptical trainer daily, but didn't use it. I'm officially two days in to my new eating/working out regiment, and this time I'm going to put some serious effort into posting updates on the blog (both good and bad results).

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

Hugs and poops,

Friday Finds - Favorties Edition!


So today I thought I'd do Friday Finds a little bit different than usual (since I hadn't spent much time shopping around the internet this week). Above I've listed a few of my favorite products that I'm using right now. I don't know if anyone else does this, but I'll become a little obsessed with certain products at a time. These are my current obsessions:

1. Avon brightening concealer - This concealer is great for covering up those random spots that want to jump off of your face and say 'hello!' to everyone. Death to the spots! To get the concealer onto the brush you have to twist the bottom of the wand. This took me a couple of tries to get used to, so I sprayed concealer all over myself the first go around.

2. O.P.I's Bond Girl Series nail varnishes. I bought almost every colour of this stuff! It has a rough texture to it when it dries, which takes a little getting used to, but it dries super fast and has a beautiful shine and color.

3. Avon's Flawless BB Cream. Last year I went on a mad hunt for a foundation that would give me buildable coverage, but not make me feel as though I'd just dipped my face in mud. This BB cream gives a nice coverage, has lots of different shades for skin tone, and doesn't feel heavy on your skin. Please note: a little goes a long way with this stuff, so don't slap a bunch of it on your face right away!

4. The Body Shop's Aloe Calming Toner. I use this stuff to wipe down my face before I put my moisturizer on in the mornings and nights. It's really gentle on my skin, makes it feel clean and smooth, and gets all of the leftover gunk off my face.

5. The Naked 2 Palette. It seems like every colour in this palette will make any skin tone look like a million bucks. Sometimes I'm too lazy to actually put time into my makeup, so I just slap a couple of colours on my eye lids and go; with these shades, it always looks like I made the effort!

I hope everyone has a sunshine-y weekend!

Hugs and poops,

Friday Finds - My Favorite Blogs Edition

Love Elycia
Elycia is a wife and new mommy! Her blog is great if you're interested in vintage inspired fashion, crafty goodness and kitty cats. I always find her blog to be uplifting. It's like catching up with a friend on a daily basis, but in a creepy way, since I don't actually know her.

A Beautiful Mess
Emma and Elsie's blog is my number one spot for all things lifestyle! Whether it's cooking, hosting, decorating, fashion, photography or crafting, these girls have tips for it all.

The Dainty Squid
Kaylah is my go to lady for all things style. She also posts some beautiful pictures!

Skunkboy
Katie is a wife, mom of two, and another fashionista that I like to follow. Her blog is really down to earth. I find it really inspiring, especially on days when I'm down in the dumps, because she's so happy and positive!

Drink On It
Stephanie loves her dog as much as I love my dogs, so she's my go to girl for cute pet pictures! She's a lot of fun and easy to connect with, so I don't feel super creepy for catching up on her blog every day. :)

What are your favorite blogs? I'm always interested in finding a new blog to follow!
I hope that all of my Canadian friends had a lovely Canada Day and my American friends had a wonderful 4th of July!

Happy weekend!

Hugs and poops,

I'm on a knuckle ring kick lately. I really like how they look!

Another moon-y piece of jewellry that caught my eye. I can't help but fall for this stuff!

Friday Finds - The Late Edition

Silver Moon Necklace - E Ria Designs
I love this silver moon necklace. A girl can never have enough moon shaped pendants!

Fox Plush - Sleepy King
I may not have any children, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate an awesome toy when I see one! This guy is hand crafted, super cute, and I'm willing to bet he's super cuddly.

Legwarmers - Grace & Lace
ON SALE!!!
Look at these comfy legwarmers! I'm actually terrible at styling these, but that doesn't stop me from wearing them. Grace & Lace is having a huge sale on these right now, so snap them up for the cold weather next year. Early Christmas shopping, anyone?
Wall Clock - Cuteness Factory
This would look amazing in my home office! I'm also thinking it would be great for a classroom.

Sterling Silver Knuckle Ring - Children of Flowers
I really love the look of knuckle rings and have been thinking about ordering a couple. Does anyone know a way to size your fingers at home?

Where have I been this past week? Being a huge loner and not blogging!
I'm really going to put more effort into blogging daily, but I find it really hard when I'm not feeling the best.

I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend!

Hugs and poops,

More planters that I'm in love with. Who can resist piggy themed decor?

Gamer Jewelry Cufflinks - Bazinga Jewellery
Even if you don't play a lot of Playstation, you have to admit that these cufflinks are awesome! I can definitely see me wearing them on my collar.

Mini Plant Jewelry - Charms N Thingz
I've seen tiny plants used in jewelry before, but these caught my eye. I love how easy they are to take care of and what a great conversation starter they would be.

I hope everyone has a delightful and adventurous weekend planned!

Cat Ring - Kat Studio
I love this ring! It looks so simple and pretty, but can you imagine the work that must go into making dainty things like this? I'm in love!

Dr. Mario Buttons - Tin Ink
I am the queen of Dr. Mario! When I saw these buttons I actually got so excited that I started to sweat. That's normal, right?

Refine Mint Dress in Peppermint Red - ModCloth
This dress isn't in stock yet, but I love it! I have a lot of patterned dresses, but hardly any solid colour ones. This colour is perfect to compliment my pasty skin colour!

Doggy ID Tag - Cropscotch
Anyone with furry roomates knows how important it is for them to stay in style. How cute are these ID Tags? They aren't super expensive either!

Moden Moon and Shiny Star Necklace - CreaMellow
I love stars and moons (as you probably guessed from the title of the blog). I'm secretly hoping someone gives me this for an anniversary gift this summer...

Starfish Hair Barrette - bearinmyhair
This is so beautiful! I was taken by it right away!

I hope everyone is preparing for a chocolate food coma this weekend!
