BREATHING UNDERWATER

With only two more weeks until Christmas I can’t help but squeal every time I hear a Christmas song! Christmas truly is a magical time of year, and this year, it seems to be contagious. For the first time, in a couple of years, everybody seems to be in the holiday spirit despite the lack of snow around … but you know me, I’ll still be dreaming of a white Christmas.

My favorite thing about the holidays is spending time with my family and friends! This year will be a year of new adventures, I am headed to my grandparents to bake and have a sleep over, my man friends parents bought a place at the foot of the biggest ski and snowboard destination north of Toronto  and I will be spending some of my holidays on the slopes along with cozy nights by the fire. There is no cable so board games and old movies are definitely on the agenda!  The man friend coaches hockey and has entered into a tournament the last weekend of December, but has sworn it will be a blast and has booked us a suite to have a little getaway! Mostly though, I am just thrilled to be spending a consecutive week with my best friend, as we haven’t done  that since June (gasp!)

To You & Yours. Happy Christmas.

 Flowers In December by Mazzy Star

GIVE! GIVE! GIVE!

I was lucky (again!) to work with MasterCard to bring you some amazing south of the border Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales here to Canada from stores like Bloomingdale’s, Saks, Gilt, Macy’s, Warby Parker and much more! Above you can see what I took away from it … I am lucky enough that my mum keeps promises and won’t read my blog to see these gifts, my man friend wouldn’t even know how to find my website and my best friend … well lets be honest, I’ve never been good at not telling her before she unwraps them anyway.

I thought long and hard about choosing items for this Christmas gift guide because i) I don’t divulge in gift guides … ever and ii) I didn’t want to choose ridiculously priced items! I am proud to say that everything here is ready to be shipped to your door step thanks to MasterCard Canada until December 10th when you use your MasterCard and code at check out. Don’t have a MasterCard? No worries, Shoppers Drug Mart carries MasterCard gift cards – so now you can shop along with me … and I promise, after the holidays we will start Shoppers Anonymous. Anonymously of course.

Find all the deals here, and don’t forget to tell me what you bought!!

UP UP UP

Like always, I am all over the place. Spaz.

These last couple of weeks have been intense at work and I have had little time to myself or to breath … between weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and dinosaurs I seem to find little time to do anything for myself.
But that will change, as the holidays are one month away (almost!) and I am dedicating that entire time to my family, man friend and close friends.

In other great news, the man friend and I are planning a trip to Italy for the summer – so if you have some suggestions please let me know! I’ve been before but wasn’t in charge of anything in terms of planning, so this is all new to me! help!
