Things I got from Karmaloop :)

Karmaloop is one of my favourite websites to shop from! My boyfriend introduced me to it a while ago, and I just received my second order from them and this is what I got..

The Betseyville Glitterati Tote in Pink. This is a pretty big bag, I got it to use for school because it fits all my books and everything and I don't need to take my purse! It has a matching iPad case you can buy separately, and I plan to get it when I get an iPad.

The Anette VI Shoe in Black. These are gorgeous!!! I have a lot of shoes, and these ones are definitely my new favourite!! I wore them to school yesterday, and was on my feet mostly all day and they were so comfortable to wear!

This was just a last minute thing I decided to add on to my order because it's cute. And it was on sale for half price, or around there I think. Hello Kitty Apples Key Cap!

That's all! If anybody comes across this and orders, use my Karmaloop Rep code! 20% off your first order, and 10% off for orders after that if you use the rep code shizzle

Christmas Gifts!

Here are some gifts I got over Christmas. Actually, some things weren't gifts but things I got for myself over Christmas!

This is probably one of my favourite things. My Nan saw all my decorations on the ledge in my living room so she bought me this to go with them! It's so pretty.

This candle is AMAZING. I have it lit right now. It makes my entire house smell like green apples. The name of it is "Autumn Apples" but it definitely smells like green apples. The brand of it is "Slatkin & Co" I have no idea where to buy it, I think I may have to google it.

A barbie from my Mama! I collect Barbies, and I get one every year for Christmas.

This is a silly one. My Dad bought this thinking it was a table cloth until he opened it! So he gave it to me, ha ha.

Slippers! So cute. My youngest cat was really afraid of these as first! She's used to them now though.

This ornament is from my aunt. She gives me an ornament every year, this one may be my favourite. It's so beautiful!

Candles from another aunt.

Throw blanket

Nintendo 3DS from my boyfriend! I told him not to spend a lot of money on me but he decided to ignore that.

Disney Princess Case for the 3DS and a Princess Peach stylus. Bought this at EB Games.

Games for the 3DS. Harvest Moon, The Tale of Two Towns & MarioKart 7.

Body Lotion from a friend! I LOVE this. I am obsessed with putting lotion on my hands. This smells sooo good.

Boy Meets World Season 1 & 2 from that same friend. One of my favourite shows ever!!

Christmas mugs!

Hello Kitty USB Drive. I needed this for school and found this one at Staples!

New Years Resolutions!

I never really decided on any New Year Resolutions. I always chose to "quit smoking" but now I've been quit for 2 years so I'm not sure on what to have for resolutions now.

I start school tomorrow, and I'm pretty nervous! I also still have to go to night classes to finish up my ABE. Maybe that's one of my resolutions. Finish ABE by April. Going to day classes & night classes is going to be challenging!

Also, I should try to stop procrastinating. I'm really bad for doing that.

Happy New Year!

Favourite ornaments

I just found these pictures on my camera from when I first took pictures of my house decorated, but I forgot to blog about them! They're just some of my favourite ornaments, I tried to keep them on the front of the tree so they're seen the most!

This one is new, I just bought it from Avon right before Christmas. It's so cute, I love kitties.

This one is also from Avon, it comes in a set of 3 in different colours (white cup/pink frosting & brown cup/red frosting) I think they are the cutest!

This is a Tim Horton's coffee mug I bought last year from Tim's. Love it! I also bought a Timbit Snowman from there this year, but I never got around to taking a picture of it.

I made a blog post about these before. Ornaments made from pepsi cans! Such a cool idea.

This is an ornament that my parents had since I was just a little kid. I took them for myself when I moved out! Ha ha, a lot of them are broken and stuff now but this one has survived throughout the years and I love it because it reminds me of being a kid again.

This is a little mini snow globe thing. It's from some sort of collection, I can't remember what the brand is but I got a few as gifts from it throughout the years.

This one is the same brand as the one above. So cute! Penguin ornaments are always adorable.

An angel. I love how the wings are made of feathers.

I love the Simpsons! I had a roommate a couple of years ago who moved out and left a few things behind, and this was one of them! I loved it so I kept it. (I would have given it back but I never spoke to him after, and I assume he left it there because he didn't want it anyway.)

Another angel that I think is so pretty.

And these are just some ornaments that are messed up or broken but I love them too much to part with! I just took the bottom of a luxe box and hot glued some spanish moss (from this blog post) and set the ornaments in there!

Christmas Day

Today was so hectic! But I was lucky enough to have 2 separate turkey dinners, so it's okay. My kitty babies certainly enjoyed their gifts!

Opie & Samson discovering their gifts!

Project 17 by Laurie Faria Stolarz

It actually took me about 6 hours to get through this book. It was a very easy book to read through. I wasn’t going to read it yet, but I decided since my boyfriend was in the hospital it would be fun to read because it’s a book about teenagers who break into Danvers State Hospital to film a movie.

I liked it, but it seemed like I was a bit old for it, ha ha. I did enjoy reading it, but it seemed like it was directed more too pre-teens. I don’t know if it actually was, but that’s how I felt about it. Publishers Weekly called it, “…Breakfast Club meets Blair Witch Project” and I think that just about sums it up.

The reason I even wanted to read the book is because Session 9 is one of my favourite movies ever and both this book and that movie are about Danvers State Hospital. It’s rumoured to have been the birthplace of the lobotomy. Creepy, right?

The beginning was a little lame, but the middle of it got scary, and the end was not the best. I really wanted to find out more about the patient/ghost that was mainly in the book, and also the girl Mimi’s grandmother who was a patient there. I feel like the author could have went into a deeper story line, but if I’m right about it being more of a “pre-teen” book than the author did a really good job. I wouldn’t really recommend it to anybody, unless they’re interested in reading things about Danvers State Hospital like me!

The next book I’m reading is The Truth About Diamonds by Nicole Richie. I am a huge fan of her, so I hope it’s good! I’m also in the middle of reading Under the Dome by Stephen King, but it’s going really slow because the book is huge and I can’t take it out anywhere. I don’t do much reading at home, usually in doctor’s offices and places like that so it’s sort of hard for me to find time to read it here. I thought I’d mention it anyway!

Thanks for reading. J
