Random pic, I know. Lol.

For whatever reason I simply can't write through blogger, I think I mentioned this once before. I prefer to open up notepad and begin through there. 

Which has randomly inspired me to start thinking about writing a book - maybe? - why not? When I have some free time other then watching TV or spending hours on Pinterest or Tumblr I can begin writing, obviously this would be a long process, but why the heck not?? 

I know I have been slacking with posting...but I am back. I was a bit busy and now I got sick again all of a sudden. Woke up on Sunday with a cold and then Monday - worse...with a bit of a fever, my head literally feels like it is swimming, if that makes sense. 

Blah, whatever.

I particularly found Ulyana Sergeenko's show intriguing. Here are the looks.

Here are some goooorgeous clothes from the Elie Saab Spring 2013 Haute Couture show. He honestly can do no wrong.

::national:cupcake:day::

I just wanted to share this with you guys, I know not many will donate because...well, people just don't...but I thought I would give it a shot. On the 25th of February it is National Cupcake Day and the SPCA and Humane Societies are fundraising to hit a goal of $150,000 for animals that have been abused, neglected or abandoned.

These animals need a bit of help here. 

They need a comfortable place to sleep.
A belly warm and full. 

Unconditional love from anyone who will give to them. 

They need a voice. 

The smallest donation WILL make a difference. If we can just come together, we can come up with this money. My individual goal is $400 and I want to thank those that have made such generous and amazing contributions. 

$10, I mean, is NOT a lot. 

Any help would be fabulous. 

I am going to bake cupcakes and hold a "sale" or ask for donations on the 25th for our animals.
But I am also accepting donations through my "Online Bakery" found on the SPCA site. 

Just go to this site:

We can and will make a difference for these homeless and neglected animals. 

Thanks. :)

I totally forgot to post about the Golden Globes -- whhhhaaaa?! I usually always post my fave looks of the night...so I apologize for the delay. Here they are!

::weekend:&:hits::

Some eye candy for ya'll.

So I ended up having a rather good weekend! On Saturday I spent most of the morning cleaning up and then relaxed and unwound with a bath and got ready for my appointment with my dentist at 1pm to get this painful tooth figured out. Turns out it was a cavity! So they filled it. Was quick! And relatively painless, will have to go back in another 3 weeks to get some more work done and xrays.

Then Travis and I got some groceries and away we went to the house to get ready for the Leaf game. We watched some Dog Whisperer before that. It was a good night and the Leafs won against the Habs! HA! Than on Sunday we lazed about for the majority of the day before going out to get some groceries as Travis decided he was going to make a gourmet meal for us.

Lou'e started hurting out of nowhere today...crying and won't walk. I am worried about him as I sit at work. 

I hope he gets better by the time I get to him at lunch. 

Love my little Lou'e. 

Here is another post from yesterday.

As I mentioned in a previous post...I am gaga over the newly popular dystopian books that are out there like Hunger Games, The Host & Divergent {Insurgent}. So I went on a search for some more books that were very similar. Here is what I found...not only are there so many but the reviews on most of these are fantastic! I honestly can't wait to get my hands on these books and begin reading. 

By the by, Amazon usually is cheaper when it comes to purchasing books. These books I found on the Amazon {Canada} website and all pricing is in Canadian currency. 

Here are some books that are on my wish list. 

I am a reading fiend lately.

::punk:geisha::

Here are a few older posts that I haven't...posted.

I am not having a good day right now...and will keep ya in the loop after the fact.

I have come to the realization that I am a hermit – okay, maybe not a total hermit…but I love to be on my own. Well, most of the time anyways. 

::giuliana:rancic::

I never really cared much for Giuliana Rancic when I saw her hosting E! or any award shows that I may have caught in the past...the only thing that caught my attention was how fit she was...or stupid-skinny, whichever you prefer. 

It wasn't until I sat down with Chichi after a kickass workout with Jillian and I saw there was a marthon of Giuliana and Bill on E! one afternoon that I began watching and than got a bit more interested in the show. She really was thin!

::tuesday:mags:blab::

Yay me! I am almost done my first subject...just have another 50-70 questions to go and than I will be doing my exam; probably this weekend. I am nervous, and excited! I am really loving this subject and it is quite interesting. :) I will be happy and proud of myself once I have completed everything. 

On another note, I am so excited for new magazine day! There are a bunch that are coming out today because it is 2013 after all and many people's resolutions are to get fit, so the biggies {for fitness mags} come out this month. 

Oxygen, Oxygen Fat Loss Special, Fitness Rx, Muscle & Fitness Hers, Shape...like, it's endless. :) 

Exciiiiited. I love these mags you have no idea, lol. I don't even bother with fashion mags too much anymore as a lot of that stuff is on the internet...I just love the health and fitness ones. And you can always go back to them and learn something new. 

Enough rambling though, I am so scatter brained right now. I am going to go and do a bit of studying. :) 

Here we have the lovely Helena Christensen by Eric Guillemain for S Moda.

Really lagging here, I know. Here are some style hits for you lovelies!

::be:merry:happy:2013::

2013 is going to be MY year! 

That is right ladies and gents. I am going to make the MOST out of this year. Try new things, meet new people, see new places. I am so excited...I really am. I am usually a 'glass half-empty' kinda gal but since ringing in the New Year with my boo's I am just way more optimistic! Especially since we had such a great NYE and New Year's Day!

I don't have any resolutions but I do have goals. I just find no one ever follows through with their resolutions...
