Yumeko’s Weekly Photo Challenge #7 – Vacation Edition

I have been following Yumeko and she has these weekly photo challenges and decided to take it up for this week :)

1. Somewhere you visited on your last vacation
I apologize as my last vacation was Japan (sorry if it's repetitive)

 

Fiance and I went to a ryokan that had a private onsen (hot springs bath) on our balcony.  I LOVED it, we could go in whenever we wanted to and the water was hot hot hot! Love! 

2. Something you bought on your last vacation

I decided to hit up the Burberry Blue Label store as they don't sell this in Canada.  More to come on this topic :s I ended up buying FOUR purses while I was in Japan OMG >____<

3. Something you ate on your last vacation

Went to a restaurant called Sansui - so yummy (and look how much food there is) ^^

 

Of course when you go to Japan, you MUST try desserts there.  It just doesn't compare with our sad selection of pies and cheesecakes lol There's an endless amount of options in Japan and I always find that it's a lot lighter ... so I can eat more haha >_<"

4. A ticket/bill/receipt from your last vacation

Unfortunately cannot find anything...:S sorry about that!

5. The number one place where you live, that you think people should visit

Of course...the almighty Niagara Falls

 

I suppose I could have posted something like the CN tower, but to be honest with you, I think Niagara Falls is a MUST! Although it may take a little over an hour to get there from Toronto, it's just breathtaking! The power of the falls is just so incredible! I remember hearing somewhere that Niagara is the #1 honeymoon destination in the world lol Don't know if this is true, but it's a definite must go!

....last but not least, here's a video on YT that I just posted about my trip to japan

Have an awesome week everyone! 

Zara and Winners & new Youtube video (May Topbox + Fried Chicken)

Happy Sunday!
Went to Square One Shopping mall to look for dresses for my bridesmaids and of course I left the mall with some Zara purchases.  FYI, they've got a sale going on so go now before sizes run out.  Surprisingly the line up for the change room wasn't bad and the line up for the cash wasn't bad either.  Even my friend was saying how organized and tame it was compared to the Zara location she visited downtown.

Black top for $35 CAD and pants for $20

Left: $40 Zara Right: $44 Winners

Question: Which one do you thing is more appropriate for a wedding? (the top right photo)

I want to wear the one on the left but I'm scared that I will be caught wearing a dress someone else is wearing since it's Zara.  The pants were a steal at $20 and they're super stretchy so they're very comfortable. You can't see it in the photo, but the pants have zipper detailing on the side of the leg, nice touch :)

....and last but not least, Mississauga is finally getting a Galleria! woo hoo! It's a Korean supermarket that sales anything from yummy food to cosmetics (kind of like a T&T supermarket).  Sorry for the crappy photo, I took it from the car with my cell phone.  The location is right across from the new Walmart by Dixie and Dundas

Here's a short video of this fried chicken place that I tried in Japan..yumyum!

Back from Japan!

Hello all, it's be a long time.  This is just a quick post to share with you my travels to Tokyo, Japan.  There are TOO many things to post about Japan so I'll trickle them in post by post.  I've also uploaded a short video on youtube about a very neat touchscreen vending machine :)

As you already know, the products in Japan are just so cute....I wish we had them here in Canada.  This is only some of the stuff I purchased while I was there. Unfortunately, a lot of stuff I got this time was food.  I took 2 suitcases down with me and 1 was literally filled with ALL food items haha

These are tabs : so cute!

More to come...stay tuned :)

Unboxing Topbox March + Haul + L'oreal Colour Riche Balm

What a beatiful day it is today ^_^ I hope you are all enjoying your Sunday!

I just wanted to post a video I did of my unboxing of the March Topbox subscription.

My youtube video here: Unboxing Topbox March 2012

These are the items that were in this month's subscription of Topbox. Unfortunately, I signed on last year and since they were sold out, I received my first shipment in March (this month). So far, I am pleased with the shipping process: they send you an email with the tracking info and if I remember correctly, it arrived on the exact estimated day of arrival.

The other day I went to walmart to kill some time as I was waiting for my replacement brakes at the garage. I always love roaming around cosmetics :) I found this little gem: the L'oreal Colour Riche Balm in #518 Tender Mauve. I LOVE this!!!! It's smooth, not sticky, has SPF of 15 and the colour looks great on the lips!

When I was cashing out, even the cashier said she loved this product :)

My sis and mom just came back from japan so I post a video in the next little while on my Japan haul :)

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend! ttys

First Youtube video: Abercrombie, Hollister Haul +timmies

Happy March 1st! :)Hope you all had a wonderful February!

I posted a quick post about the Abercrombie & Fitch , Hollister sale and just wanted to share my haul with you on Youtube
Youtube video

I apologize in advance as I'm using my laptop camera to record: the video quality isn't the best and the sound is muffled :s Next time I know to use my regular camera ...sorry about that!

The sale is still happening, but just make sure that you click on the clearance section, not the sale section. After receiving my package, I realized I was missing something that I ordered for my other friend...unfortunately it was sold out :( I went online again today and found a hoodie for $12.50! Couldn't resist so I got one for myself too! With shipping and 2 hoodies, it was about $49 meaning each hoodie was about $25! Not bad in my opinion!

Anyways, hope you all have a great week.  I've had quite the rough week. My fiance is in Japan so I'm doing a lot of my wedding planning on my own. It's tough.  Everytime I go and see a vendor they ask me: why are you alone? I see couples choosing flowers, tasting various cakes, choosing the right photographer...the list goes on.  Then today as I was driving I realized I was being selfish.  I should be really appreciative for all that he does for me...I am so loved and I should truly appreciate this instead of wasting all my energy on my pity party.  So I told myself : Appreciate what you have. Appreciate it b/c there's no doubt that there is someone else in this world that has it a lot worse than you do

Hollister + Abercrombie & Fitch sale!

Just a real quick post informing you of a great sale that Hollister and A&F are having at the moment, I ended up buying a whole bunch of stuff for my family in Japan.  The A&F stuff there is more expensive than here (crazy...as I think it's expensive as it is).

You can go to the respective websites (dont forget to sign up your email address on the bottom right side of screen to receive a code for free shipping) or you can visit
Redflagdeals.com forum to see comments from others that have purchased sales.  I should have looked thorough this forum first as I have realized there are many 'hidden' sales !

happy family day and happy shopping :)

Posted a new video

I just posed a new video compliation of my eating adventures....well it's more like fiance's eating adventures as I'm usually the one behind the camera :P
