today: 08/04/14

What I did:

Today I went to Nadège Patisserie in Queen West, Toronto. Nadège is a French style "patisserie" selling macarons, butter croissants, pain au chocolats and so many more delicious French foods. I lived in France for 3 months this year so having some nice croissants and macrons was great.
My little French throwback actually continued into dinner, I made crepes for my family! They weren't the best crepes I've ever had but they were alright, we used Martha Stewart's recipe and ate them with ham, cheese and red peppers and then banana, melted chocolate and a sprinkle of icing sugar for desert.

What I wore:

I wore a light blue skirt from Brandy Melville (last year) and a burgundy top also from Brandy Melville (this year). My Longchamp tote bag (as a purse because I carry so much around), I have the colour Taupe which is a greenish taupe. I wore gold sandals from Aldo and a gold dear head necklace to tie in with them. On my face I wore my Tarte 12hour Amazonian Clay Foundation (applied with Real Techniques Buffing Brush, Maybelline Fit Me concealer (with a Precision Blending Sponge) and set it with MAC Studio Fix powder foundation (with e.l.f. Complexion Brush). Before I applied the powder I put about bit of Benefit Watt's Up! highlighter along the tops of my cheekbones, after I dusted some NYC Bronzer in Sunny around my forehead and under my cheekbones. I did really simple eye makeup: MAC eye shadow in Naked Lunch and Naked 2 from Naked Basics palette in the crease, I tight lined with Rimmel Scandaleyes in Black and finished off with a little bit of Maybelline The Rocket Volume Mascara.


Tonight I'm laying low, doing a face mask, cleaning up my room and packing for Chicago as well as spending some time with my family.

Hope everyone is having a great week,
xoxo Nadia

today: 07/31/14

What I did today:

It is currently 10:20 pm and I have already babysat for approximately 11 hours. 
Yes.
11 hours.
That is life of an unemployed teenager.
I'm here until 1am but the kid is asleep so I'm just watching Netflix, YouTube and TED Talks trying to stay awake. 

Also:
*I built a LEGO CRUISE SHIP (it was surprisingly fun, lego isn't that bad)
*I finally tried the Caramel Corn tea from David's Tea and I LOVE IT (totally buying a tin of it)
*I just watch the first TED Talk of the "Life Hack" series. Its called Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are, by Amy Cuddy, it was very inspiring.
*I've been majorly slacking on the squat challenge...I keep skipping days but I'll be happy if I can do the 250 squats in 60 days instead of 30 days so I'm gonna keep on going. (yes, I've done todays: 105 woot woot!!)

What I wore today:

It has been an extremely casual day today, I knew that I would need to be comfortable if I was going to be with children practically every waking hour.

OOTD:
Blue jersey tee from H&M
Black Lululemon leggings
Pink Nike flip flops
MEC back pack
Field hockey crew neck from my school
(trust me, its a good thing that there isn't a picture)

FOTD:
Maybelline Fit Me concealer in 10 Light (blended with a Precision Blending Wedge)
MAC Studio Fix powder in NW20 (applied with the e.l.f Studio Complexion Brush)
Maybelline The Rocket Volume mascara (waterproof formula) in Blackest Black
Rimmel Scandaleyes Liner in Nude (in the waterline)
Wet n' Wild Color Icon blush in Pearlescent Pink 

In conclusion & plans for tomorrow...

The good thing is: I made money today. Which is awesome because I'm driving to Chicago with my best friend,Victoria, and her parents a week from today (on August 7th) and were planning to do a little bit of shopping. Were also planning to do some shopping tomorrow (at Brandy Melville and H&M in particular, because I saw some things I would like to pick up) after a spinning class we signed up for at the gym together! 

Thanks for reading

An embarrassing experiment trying to make a white lace dress more edgy



dress from: Forever 21
shoes: purchased at Softmoc, brand is Cougar
Makeup (that you can barely see)
Urban Decay Naked Basics, Maybelline Falsies Flared Mascara, MAC Ruby Woo Lipstick

Only thing that changed is the shoes and the lips...obviously i took down my hair as well.

The lips are now Essence Lip Liner in Soft Berry and the shoes are very old black bootie wedges the brand is Wanted but theres a 99.9% chance it would be impossible to find them.

Thanks for reading:):)

*I posted my first youtube video:
