A girls weekend

by

Since I’m on my own this weekend I think I’ve come up with a plan to keep me busy and put some fun in my weekend.

I’m going to call up a few of my friends and see if they’d like to get together for a girls day and maybe night out.

We’ve always talked about getting together and hitting a spa – maybe for facials. I think tomorrow would be a great day to do something like that, provided we can get appointments, that is. Then, maybe a trip to Yorkville to wander through some of the high end shops.

I can’t really afford to buy any of the items that I might see in Yorkville, but I do like looking at the designer clothes and Prada handbags and other fancy items.

Then, depending upon how much free times my friends have, maybe we’ll go out for dinner and then go to a dance club.

We haven’t gotten together for a girls day and or night for quite a while so I’m pretty sure my friends will be interested. I’d better stop writing and get on the phone to see if they’re free tomorrow!

Now I feel better – hopefully this will work out and my weekend will end up being fantastic.

What are your plans for the weekend?





I’ve got the wardrobe blues

by

I was looking through my bedroom closet and drawers earlier today for something nice to wear and I realized, I haven’t purchased any new clothes in ages.

I’m bored with all the old clothes I have, and to tell the truth, some of my clothes are starting to fade or look a little worn.

I think it’s time to do a little shopping!

The only problem is that we don’t have a lot of spare money right now. I’ll have to keep my eye out for some good sales or maybe start looking for bargains online.

Oh speaking of online shopping … I was just looking at dereon jeans. I love the look of them! They have really nice pocket detailing and I think I’d look good in that kind of style of jeans. Oh and they happen to be on sale right now too – so that works great for me! I just have to find out if they ship to Canada.

So … do any of my readers also have the wardrobe blahs or blues? Are you in need of a little retail therapy too?

Time to go shopping!

by

Man I need to go on a shopping spree! Now that the really hot weather has finally arrived I’ve discovered that my old summer wear just won’t cut it anymore.

My problem is that I don’t really like shopping all that much. Honest … yes I’m a strange woman. LOL

I desperately need some new clothes though. I think there’s more men’s clothing in our house than there is women’s wear because my husbands mom still buys clothes for him … like almost every time she comes for a visit.

I need to get some light summer pants, blouses, shirts, t-shirts and shorts … pretty much every kind of summer wear.

We were really short on spare cash last year so I made due with my older clothes, but I don’t think I can make due much longer. Maybe I’ll hit a mall sometime this coming weekend and see if I can find somethings that I like.

Do you need to go on a shopping spree too?

Taking advantage of this great weather

by

Last week it was cold, rainy and dreary here in Toronto, but this week it’s like summer has already arrived. It’s 27 C (80 F) right now and with humidity it feels more like 30 C (86 F)! That’s much warmer that it usually is in May.

Oh and I can’t really complain about the cool rainy weather last week. We’ve had great weather here in Toronto all year – no snow in February or March and spring like temps since early march – so how can I complain about a few bad days here and there? Besides – my beautiful garden needed the rain.

Since I knew the weather was going to be good this week and it looks good for next week too … last night my husband and I went to a new garden center shortly after Chris came home from work. I’d visited their website and found out that on Wednesdays they don’t charge tax! That means that along with taking advantage of some spring sales on plants we also got 13% off to total price.

We bought over $100 worth of annuals and veggies. Now I just have to plant them.

I was going to go out into the garden earlier today and start working on some of my planters, but it was so hot when I went out I decided to hold off for a while. Perhaps I’ll do a few planters this evening. Hey .. it’s light out until about 9 pm so I’ll have a few hours to work and it should be cooler … or well, at least the sun won’t be shining quite so brightly on my back as I work!

Since the weathers been so nice all Spring I thought we’d have the patio set up before now … but we haven’t hauled our glass and metal patio table and chairs out of the basement and storage area yet so I think we’ll probably do that this weekend. We’ll also get out our solar lights. I like to place them in the garden beds so that we have a little bit of ambient light at night.

Sometime this weekend I want to shop for some cushions for our patio chairs. They’re nice chairs, but a small cushion to lean on might be nice. I find my back hurts a bit if I sit in our patio chairs for too long. I might also look at outdoor rugs to place on the patio under the patio table.

Do you have plans for the long weekend? It’s Victoria Day here in Canada and I believe in the Us it’s Memorial day so I’m sure a lot of people are going up to the cottage, camping or getting together with family. We don’t have any family or travel plans … just the gardening plans. Our weekends have been pretty busy over the last few weeks so it might be nice to just stick around home and get some things done that we’ve been putting off – ie like putting together the patio table and chairs etc.

Zap your Zits?

by

When I was out shopping earlier today I spent some time browsing in the cosmetic section. I was trying to find Bag Balm .. a specific brand, because my heels are so dry and I know the Bag Balm will fix them up in no time. Gotta get ready for summer.

While I was in the cosmetics and beauty supple department of the store I came across this odd new treatment for acne … it’s a blue acne light thing. I guess you just kind of zap your zits with this blue light and they heal up fast.

I don’t really suffer from acne so I wasn’t interested in buying, but I found it interesting. Have you ever tried one of these things? Do they work?
