Just finished inventory at my store! Today I decided to start tracking ww on paper instead of online… I’ve had a lot of success with it on paper in the past, and I was really not doing too well with the online version. Maybe its just in my mind, but whatever works!!

Spring Cleaning Your Wardrobe

Every spring a good thorough cleaning of your home and car are in order. A cleaning of your wardrobe along with your home will help in several ways. You will not only feel better about the cleanliness of your closet, but you’ll be reunited with articles of clothing that may have been forgotten about, and any discarded clothing can be donated to a good cause.

So what all should you dump?
- Anything with the name of a designer. As a fashionable woman, you should never let yourself be mistaken for a billboard or let corporations use you as part of thier marketing scheme.
- Fedoras, beanies, skull caps
- Anything that’s clearly out of style. Items may come back, but they’ll be back with a twist.
- Concert tees
- Things that were expensive but made you feel unattractive
- Broken or torn items
- Clothes that don’t fit.

End of school = Travel

For a lot of us, the end of the school year means traveling or road trips over the summer, or maybe a celebration trip to Mexico before it gets TOO hot. I wanted to quickly post a few travel carry on tips by Victoria Beckham to help all you lucky girls who get to go somewhere in the near future

 Carry on essentials:

-          A tracksuit you can change into if it’s a long haul journey

-          Johnson’s baby wipes to take your make up off; a good, heavy moisturizer; eye cream; lip balm; herbal sleeping pills

-          Chantecaille’s Rose Water or Evian Spritz to help refresh and hydrate your face and get rid of that awful plane smell

-          Some music, iPod and a pile of magazines or books you’ve been saving up. That can pretty much get you through any flight.

-          Get a good sized carry on bag that you can fit all of this into instead of relying on multiple handbags. Everyone picks up water, magazines and so on at the airport so you want to be able to fit as many extra last minute purchases in your hand luggage as possible, otherwise you’ll find yourself carrying bout four different bags.

 

OK OK OK

So I caved… I’ve come back to wordpress after a short stint with Blogger. I liked thier flexibility with themes, but I just find it easier to navigate at Word Press. I love that I can search for other blogs using the tags feature. I’m a bit of a blog addict, and it’s just too hard to find new blogs I’m interested in at Blogger. Oh well.

6 Signs it’s going to be a great spring!

So I was looking through this month’s Glamour (March), and at the beginning of the magazine they had the article “6 signs it’s going to be a great spring.” I have to say I was super excited by this.. I am soo eager to have spring come around the corner! In Canada it seems to be taking it’s time. Anyways, here’s the list:

1. Naomi Watts is in this magazine (OK That’s not really got anything to do with spring.)

2. Enchanted broke the women-are-bad-box-office curse.

3. Easy hair is in.

4. Everyone’s wearing dresses.

5. Hillary’s reignited politics.

6. Women are talking to one another.

Now a lot of those don’t really have anything to do with the seasons, but I am really stoked on numbers 3 and 4. I’ve been lusting after a color block dress from Lipsy since January, but they always seem to be sold out of my size. Hopefully more Canadian stores pick up and join the trend!

Spring is here?

I decided to start this blog with a spring – type layout, as it is now technically spring time. However, it doesn’t seem to be more than 10 degrees outside, which is really annoying!!! Grrr… I checked the average as compared to past years, and it is definately below average.. time to warm up! At least the spring type layout looks nice and warm
