So much awesome on one site: The Daily Nail

Fashionably cute nail designs – every day! Too difficult for me to do, but too deliciously adorable to ignore.

A shout out to my friend Michelle K. for sharing this. Love!

Thursday, let’s do this.

Stomach flu/ food poisoning? Check.
In the office before 7:30am? Check.

This calls for some Stevie Wonder – Sugar.

Case of the Mondays? Wear a dress.

Wearing a dress cheers me up.

Sick? Wear a dress.

Hungover? Wear a dress.

Monday? Wore this dress.

It only cost $10. No tax. Found it in the Chinatown Centre at Spadina and Dundas. The store is on the corner at the top of the escalator. Go there!

Bob Marley Will Save Me

Having a tough day. It’s Monday, go fig’. I’ll pump the Bob and get through the day.
Experiencing the same? Turn up Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds and I guarantee you’ll feel better.

Dollar Deal

It’s true. I love compliments. Who doesn’t? Really? Liar!

The surprising subject of today’s compliments’ is a hair clip I bought from Dollarama 2 years ago. It’s my fave place to find unexpected things. Among these awesome finds are: biodegradable doggy bags, owl figurine given as a birthday gift, scented PINK trash bags, fake Ray Bans, and more!

Have any cool Dollar Store goodies? Share!

Pet-friendly Vacation

Late posting about my Canada Day mini getaway but thought I’d share anyway. Had an awesome time in Niagara Falls with family and friends, but the best part of the trip was being able to have Jean-Claude with us too. For those of you who don’t know he’s our 6 month old French bulldog. Here’s some tips for bring your pup:
1. Find a pet-friendly hotel. We stayed at the Best Western Fallsview. It had FREE kenneling service and dog walks.

2. Bring a bed or crate, wherever they’ll feel most comfortable sleeping or else you’ll have a crying whining pup, trying to get into bed with you all night.

3. Pack for the weather. He overheats easily so we brought his Cool Coat, and water bottle.

4. Take lots of pictures! Or you’ll only have a few to share.

Mellow Tune

On a rainy day like today, all I want is a glass of wine and a good soundtrack. Since I’m at work right now, I’ll settle for an awesome track.

Beatles – Don’t Let Me Down

New Blog Crush

I added a new blog to my blog crush list. Animals With Casts. I don’t need to say anything more. So adorable – I can’t even deal. Check it out and fill your cute animal quota of the day here.

Ooooh la la, chocolat!

Maxinne — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 19:57:07 +0000

We get subsidized chocolate at work. Not free. 50 cents a bar. If it was free, I probably wouldn’t indulge in one. But 50 cents is a steal. Yummmmmm endorphins!

One word: Woofstock

First time going. Long time fan.

We brought Jean-Claude out and managed to miss the rain. Bought a lifejacket, cool coat (keeps him cool in hot weather) and pet pocket. The best time was had. Tons of cute dogs. Too bad there isn’t a Meowstock for cat-lovers.
