A New Ornament for 2011
I love anything girly looking or that has anything to do with makeup. So when I saw this in Avon's book I had to get it. Its the cutest Christmas Tree ornament I have ever seen. As it waits to be put on the tree next month, it has a comfortable home on my desk. I so love it. Its too cute. I don't sell Avon I just buy from my really nice neighbour.
Wait till you see my next one I have coming. Its Sweet.
My Newest Mascara ♥
When this mascara was in the last Avon book for sale at 2.99, I had to try it. The name is Astonishing, and its pretty close to being. What also attracted me to this mascara was the length of the brush, as it is longer then most. Also the best part is its Waterproof, but its washable with your own cleanser. Love that! It applied really nice and lengthened my lashes. I couldn't ask for more ... not for that price. Special bonus its hypo allergenic and great for sensitive eyes too, like mine.
Budget Shopping
You don't need a big budget to buy good quality cosmetics. If their under $10.00 perfect. If their under $5.00 even better. You just have to find the deals or use a coupon for your favorite drugstore or department store. It can be easily done. I love being a budget shopper, and so happy when I get a good deal on a product. I am in no means an Extreme Coupon er as per the TV show, but I do use them for a lot of household and beauty products. Am grateful for coupons as they come in really handy in my home, and who doesn't love saving money on purchases.
Pink is my favorite color ♥

My Love of Travel & Pan Am
Are you watching the new show Pan Am? I am so into it. I love that it is based in the year 1963, and I love that it is based on stewardesses. As a child I used to play with my huge Barbie Airplane and pretend I was a stewardess. I just had to google a picture of the plane, ahhhhh brings me back to when I used to sit and play with it for hours. It was so cool. I also remember getting it as a gift when I had this terrible flu over Christmas one year. My aunt from Washington came to visit and gifted me with it.
Another reason why I love the show is my mom used to dress so tailored just like the actresses in the show.
That was a happy time for my mom.

When I grew up sadly I never did become a stewardess, I so would do it today still though. I became a Travel Agent. Close ha. Anyways that lasted 12 years. I have a mad love for airplanes and traveling.
Music Soothes My SouL ♥
How do you Keep in Shape? I Dance. Not Professional, just around the house since I don't do the Club Scene anymore. Not sure why I don't .... I should... Anyways I love to dance, I always have. Lately these are some of my faves. Love them all.
Just shake it but don't break it........No one is watching and even they are don't care, its all good.
I LoVe Jason Derulo. I recently bought his new CD Future History and honestly every song is awesome!
I LoVe Latin Music since my mad love for Acapulco way back, Crazy for Pitbull too.
Have too have a little Enrique, My mom had a thing for his Dad, and I love Enrique always xox
Gawd the water in this video is sooo soooo beautiful, I could easily live by that water & dance ha.
Just Shake it as long as you MoVe IT, and get that heart rate going up up up.

Foundation
So after I moisturize, prime, conceal I reach for my foundation. I don't use much in the Summer months but I do in Fall & Winter. My go to foundation is from Joe Fresh. Its lightweight, and matches my skin perfect. I use shade Light 3.
Plump Those Lips
Are you a fan of Lip Plumping Lipsticks and Glosses? I am big time. They really work! And some you even feel working. The latest one I have is Avon's Plump Pout Lip Gloss. Available in 4 shades. It has the nicest shine, feels cool to the lips and you feel that little bit of tingle. I love it. I bought Pink Nectar. Its a pretty brown pink shade.
Face Primer
Just like a wall needs primer before we paint it, our faces need primer before we apply our foundation & makeup. It minimizes our pores and seals the lines. I am in Love with Avon's New Skin Transforming Primer.
Its Infused with Anti Aging Serum and leaves your skin feeling so Smooth.

Hide the Red Spots
Great news when you start aging you get redness around your nose area, everyone has something to hide and for Red its Green. I use Physicians Formula Perfecting Concealer Duo. Comes with Green and a shade of concealer. Perfect!
Love My New Lipstick
I am such a fan of Avon's New Pro Luscious Pout Lip Color. Comes with a bit of gloss in the lid with a handy little mirror. Available in 6 shades. I bought the Pumped Up Pink with Silver gloss. Add a bit of gloss in the center of lips and voila luscious.
Gel Eye Liner
It was Love at first use for me and this Gel Eye Liner from Physicians Formula. They are so easy to use, and draw a perfect line every time. I love to wing my upper lid and this gel I find is way easier to use then a Kohl pencil. It lasts all day and night and doesn't smudge like a pencil does. I love the stackable little pots that they come in. You can take them apart to carry your fave one with you, although really you won't need too. Just put it on and ready to go! You'll love it. I promise. Comes in 3 shades for every Eye Color. How cool is that.
Happy Cheeks
This is one of my favorite Blushes. Its so pretty and makes me Happy every time I use it. Comes in 2 shades Natural or Rose which is the one I have. It gives just the right amount of color with one sweep of the brush.
Its Physicians Formula. Try it you'll love it.
Another one of my fave Blushes has to be Orgasm by Nars. Besides that the name Rawks, the color suites every skin tone. I have olive skin tone so this pink peachy color looks like a nice pop of color on my cheeks.
Love it!

FaLL is In The Air
Changing of the Seasons brings change in climate and in our Souls. Its Inevitable, Embrace It.
My fave fall things to do are taking long drives listening to my favorite music, enjoying all the changing of the leaves. Stopping in at little shops along the way, and having some apple cider. That's my Fall.

My IsLanD
A Wise person once told me"If you could splurge on one thing, splurge on a BeD." So I did! And I am so glad that I did. I remember walking into The Bombay store, and eyeing this beautiful Canopy bed and saying "That is going to be my bed" And a few months later it was mine. I bought it as a gift to myself for Christmas one year.
I often refer to it as my Island. It has that tropical feel that I love with the beautiful detailing in the wood, and the canopy. I love my bed, and I thank God every night for my slice of heaven. Oh the mattress I got was from the Brick, I put box spring and mattress in. In store they only showed the one mattress but I love it high up.

I even bought the matching stepper for the bed, I love climbing in at night. Here is a link if you want to see it.
and this page shows you the beautiful detailing in the wood! I am so grateful to own this bed that was made in Indonesia with love for me :)
Noir LoVe Me
A woman should change up her scents like her mood. When night hits and I'm in that loving mood I reach for this one.
I love wearing perfume, but I'm sensitive to some scents, none of the Victoria's Secrets perfumes are over powering, I love them. Can't wait to try their new Gorgeous one.

Very SeXy Perfume
This perfume helps you feel every more Sexy. Love it, its my night time choice. Available at Victoria's Secret.
LoVe RockS
When I hit the Victoria's Secret sale I did a cologne haul ha. I wear this one when I feel that Love Rocks. I love the bottle and the scent.
I even got matching Love Rocks scented Tattoos, these I got from Ebay though.
Gifts
Some can be seen and others are felt. Life has taught me to be grateful for everything. Big or small. I may not be able to shower my friends with Gifts, if I could I would spoil them rotten. What I can give them is a SmiLe, my TiMe, an EaR, a LaugH, a HuG, a KiSS, a Pat on the Back or a Right On. Gifts don't need to cost a thing and if everyone gave a gift of a SmiLe to a Stranger,it would be contagious.
I did get a visual gift today, from my neighbor. She is so thoughtful and knows my love for makeup, she also labeled me the Neighborhood fashionista ha, and said she loves my clothes... So sweet :)) She is also my Avon lady, and this bracelet is only for reps but she gave it me. Feeling BLeSSeD, It's too cute.

Fashion Sense
Fashion Sense is a good way to describe how I choose my clothing. Its all about the FeeL, and the Sensation it gives me against my skin. I make my purchasing decision really on the fabric, of course its the style and color but I think the fabric is my number on reason why I make the clothes purchases I do.
My all time comfy clothes come from Aeropostale I absolutely love their Sweat Shirts T-Shirts & Sweats. They are sooo soooo soft. You might say that's a teen's store I would never think of shopping their. But if you wear a Small, Medium or Large, your in luck. I wear a Small and the Hoodies are a little big for me, but I do like my hoodies a little bigger. I have them in a lot of colors so when I want to slack inside its mostly my Aero Hoodies & Sweats. Their a slice of Heaven on.

I LoVe the kind of sweat pants that you roll up at the bottom. These are my favorites for sure.
My Fave Mascaras
I keep all my mascaras in a handy reusable container. The Cottonelle FreshWipes container. Ha! They fit perfect in their, and sit on my bathroom counter. I have many that I always usually get with coupons or on sale.
I really do have a few favorites and its hard to label them first second third. They all lengthen and make the lashes longer. And one of them over time does actually lengthen them. Best part their all from Walmart :)

I love this one, when I first got it, I used it for a week or so everyday. It really does help to lengthen your lashes over time.
Scent of This Woman
I have so many reasons why I LoVe the Scent of Victoria's Secret Dream Angels Heavenly. I've been a Lover of this product for years, and am so thrilled that they are now here in Ontario. It was honestly love at first smell for me, and I still smile every time I spritz it on.
Over the Summer they had an amazing SaLe which is a word I LoVe. Grateful that I got to go, of course I picked up their SuMMeR Version of Heavenly which is sooooo Yummy for SuMMeR I'm hating that I have to put it away...unless a Vacation is in my future.

Love the design and color of the bottle. I have it on a tray in my bedroom with three other bottles of Heavenly, one even has glitter in it that I love but that one is for when I want that shimmer with the scent.
Prime Your Eyes
After I moisturize I reach for Mac's Prep & Prime. I love it, It gently coats your lashes with a serum that's clear & it makes your lashes longer & ready for your favorite mascara. I use it before bed too, and leave it on all night. Its recommended you use it twice a day. In weeks you will see longer lashes.. Love this product. Available at The Bay at the Mac counter or online.
I think I should save Mascara for another blog post cause I have a few favorite ones. Next onto eye primer. I used to have a Sally Beauty across the street from me, so that is where I got mine. Eye primer is really really important, it dries up any oils on the lid and creates a smooth canvas for your fave eye shadow or liner.

Body Moisturizer
I like keeping my skin a bit on the tanned side. Most gradual tanners have built in moisturizers, so a few days a week to keep my tan up I use a self tanner.
In between I use and LoVe The Body Shop's Body Butter's. In SuMMeR I always have Grapefruit & Strawberry scents close by. Winter time I switch it up to Coconut or Cocoa Butter. Their rich in emollients and their scents are absolutely yummy. I've been a fan for years.

Sunless Tan
For me I have always used a self tanner especially on the face. It makes your face look healthier and evens out the skin tone. The one I have used this summer and still am using is by Clarins. Its non greasy and leaves your face feeling so smooth. I let my moisturizer absorb into my skin awhile before I apply it. I love this product, and a little really does go along way. So worth the price.
Fashion Obsessed...Just a Little
Besides potions & lotions I love Fashion. Keeping up with Trends doesn't always have to be expensive. I look for deals always. I am partial to Shopping at a few stores though :) My first mad love affair is with H&M♥, its crazy half my closet is totally them. My love for them heightened when I shopped at a H&M in Denmark.
Always always great quality fashion at great prices.
Other stores I shop at Urban Planet, Joe Fresh, Forever 21, Aeropostale, Ardene, Garage, Guess & ya sometimes even Walmart. You can find some really nice fashions their and the price is always right.
Soooo happy this will be mine soooon soooon. I have a SuperStore right near where I live its not in yet, but I do know it is out in other stores, especially Joe Fresh stand alone shops. I love this jacket for FaLL.

I think it was love at first sight. And at $69.00 its going to feel like a cozy piece of cloud on :) & I bought matching boots in brown leather at Urban Planet for 39.00. They have a huge selection of Fall boots right now.
Moisturizing at Night Time
Its Bed time, Sleepy time. That's a really important time to cleanse off all our makeup and the elements of the day. I am faithful with my night time ritual, ahh and on the odd time I don't wash, I feel so guilty ha. Besides when I learnt that mites live in our eyelashes that grossed me out totally ha. Its time to Wash .....
The only thing I change up from my Morning Routine, is I use a Makeup Remover along with my cleanser.
So first I remove my eye makeup then I use my Olay cleanser. Next step even before I moisturize is ....
The Lips I never forget my lips, so a few nights a week, after I dry my face I dampen my towel, and light circular motions I scruff my lips. It takes off all the flaky's and dead skin. Works awesome & really easy.
Next eye cream, I use the same one I am using in the morning for my nightly ritual. Then onto moisturizing my face. At the moment I have been using the sister of the my Day cream ha.

Moisturizing The Face for Day
Before I moisturize, I take care of my eyes. I was a loyal fan of Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti Puff Roller until I found my next Love ha....and here it is.
You can get this dual eye cream from Avon. The gel side is for the top of the lid, and the creme is for under the eye. I absolutely love it. The skin around my eyes feel tighter especially on the upper lid. So glad I tried this product.
Next its on to the rest of the face.
I was lucky enough to be chosen for the Garnier Ultra Lift 2 week challenge a few months back. I fell in love with it, my skin was firmer, and everyone was asking what I was using...who doesn't love that.
Good Morning Face
I love my morning beauty routine. Its my morning ritual shortly upon waking. Its been my face friend for many years :)
Splash Cold Water on my Face Ha! Seriously I love this part. I wake up with puffy eyes and this gets the blood in the face going and helps to wake me up.
Change the temp of the Water to warm, and use your favorite Cleanser. I tend to change cleansers because
I don't like to get used to anything, and like to change things up. Presently I have been using this one and I am really pleased with it. And its so gentle you can use it every day, I love the mini scrubbing beads in it.
Next its Toner Time, I like using The Body Shop's Toner in Cucumber. It makes my face really fresh feeling and takes off whatever my cleanser didn't. I picked it up before Summer, lasts a long time too
Moisturize,Moisturize,Moisturize. This is soooooooo important. I also always make sure whatever moisturizer I am using I use one with an SPF of at least 15. If it doesn't have any in it, I mix my own
Sunscreen into my favorite moisturizer and Voila...Protected against the elements.
Check out my blog Moisturizer to see which one I'm using now and why I love it :)

Canadian Made █ ♥ █
I'm just a girl who was born and raised in Toronto,
40 something years ago :)
My parents were both born in Italy and both met in T.O.
I love my Italian roots, my parents gave me my love of music,
fashion,culture,and great food :) And I guess I had best of
both worlds cause my mom was born in Northern Italy, bordering Austria,
and my dad was born in Southern Italy in Calabria.
Two totally different dialects and tastes ha :)
I love that I was made here in Canada but I also wouldn't have complained
one bit if I had been born near one of the beautiful beaches in Italy either ha :)
