My favorite organic store

May 5, 2011 by Tricia

A couple of weekends ago my parents in law came in to Toronto for a visit. They stayed all weekend. They were here to visit my husbands sick uncle but they also spent time with my husband and I.

During my in-laws stay we took my mother in law and my husbands Aunt to this store where we buy all of our various multivitamins and other health foods called The Healthy Planet. My Mother in Law always visits The Big Carrot whenever she comes to Toronto so we knew she’s love this new store too.

While we were there I mentioned that I love there organic chocolate covered ginger and my mother in law took it upon herself to buy a huge bag of them for me .. I mean huge … it must have been three pounds! You don’t buy a chocoholic a big bag of chocolates like that! I hate to say this but there’s gone! My husband had some, but I ate the bulk of them – three or four a day and ta da … there gone.

Anyway .. do you have a favorite store in your city that you go to for buying bulk or organic food and vitamins?

Have to come up with a gift idea for my brother in law

May 5, 2011 by Tricia

It’s my brother in laws birthday next week and my husband and I are busy trying to figure out just what kind of gift to get him as a gift.

He’s kind of a guys guy .. likes going out to the ball game, watching hockey, getting together with the guys and maybe playing a game of golf every now and then. Hmmm maybe I’ll come up with some Golf Gift Ideas for my brother in law … a new putter? I’m sure there’s something golf wise he could use, especially now that the weather is getting better and he’ll be out on the course more.

Any ideas for me? What would you get for a real guys guy that loves sports?

An Easter get together

April 6, 2011 by Tricia

Well I guess I know what we’re doing for Easter this year. We were just invited to my in-laws for Easter dinner.

Now I need to figure out what I’m going to bring to the meal. I always bring something – either part of the main meal or a dessert. I actually came across some Sharis Berries discounts so I was thinking of getting some chocolate covered berries delivered to the house just before Easter. That might work out perfectly.

What are your plans for Easter? Are you having a big Easter meal with friends and family?

Doing my friends make up for her wedding

March 30, 2011 by Tricia

I got a call earlier today from one of my friends. She’s getting married in July and she wants me to do her make up for the wedding. I used to be a make up artist – never professionally but I do have my make up artist certificate and I’ve done the make up for several of my friends and sister in laws weddings so I guess I do I pretty good job if I keep getting asked. It probably doesn’t hurt that I don’t charge too much either.

Anyway …. my friend now wants all kinds of skin care tips. Everything from the best blackhead removal lotions to what kind of moisturizer she should use each night. So … I think I’m going to write up so basic skin care do’s and don’ts for her so that she can get working on things.

Have you ever been asked to do something for a wedding that’s a little out of the ordinary .. I mean rather than being a bridesmaid etc … ?

Planning an Easter Party

March 4, 2011 by Tricia

This year seems to just be flying by! It wasn’t until I was in a store last weekend, hurrying along to get my shopping done, when I noticed that the store had Easter candy and Easter related decorations at the end of their aisles – ready for sale.

The next store I went into had their Easter goodies out too. I guess the end of February was the weekend to get all the things out for the next big holiday.

I didn’t realize how few weeks there are until Easter! My sister in law and I are having a party for my niece and her friends for Easter so we’d better get working on planning the party. I was actually just browsing Personal Creations – Easter baskets ideas for kids and I think if I spend some time on that site I’ll have our little Easter party put together in no time at all.

Are you doing anything for Easter? Do you have any kids to celebrate Easter with? I love decorating eggs and setting the kids off on an egg hunt. It’s so much fun.
