Less Expensive Ways To Buy Designer

I'm definitely a sucker for a brand name, well more than a brand name a design house.  I would love to own Chanel, Dior or Alexander McQueen.  But it is not in my foreseeable future to spend thousands of dollars on just one item from a design house.  But I have thought of a few ways to own my coveted brands.

1. Cosmetics- Chanel nail polish runs at around 30 dollars Canadian, Black Pearl could be mine one day

2.Eye Glasses- if you have a medical plan with coverage this is a great way to get an accessory at your works expense.  I keep hoping for distance problems so I can get fancy sunglasses for driving.

3.Scarves-  You can wear jeans and a Gap t-shirt with a designer scarf and people will think the entire outfit it couture.  Its all what people think they see, a scarf normally runs under $150 and is always classic

I'm sure there are more options out there, but these are three easy ones that I plan putting into practice.  Not going to lie I'm pretty excited to own Black Pearl nail polish.

Buisness Casual: A New Possibility

I recently came across a reason to maybe wear business casual clothing on occasion.  Its not a reason I can talk about yet, but I'm super excited for the prospects of new classy additions to my wardrobe.

Here is a few ideas of what I think my new additions should look like:

Day Dresses by MICHAEL Michael Kors
Pumps by DKNY

I will definitely update you soon when I know more about maybe some up coming changes for me.  All I can say is that I am really proud of myself for taking a huge leap into the future.  

Keep your fingers crossed that change can be a good thing, even for me!

My Top Five Ways I Love To Spend Money

I'm going to be completely honest, I love spending money it really makes me happy.  I love that moment of pulling out my debit card knowing that what ever I wanted is going to be mine.

Here are my top five things I love to buy:

1. Starbucks Chai Latte, its tastes like Christmas in a cup.
2. Nail Polish- a new colour is always full of new ideas
3. Diet Coke- Its my crack, but way cheaper
4. Glossy Magazines-I eat up whatever celeb gossip I can get my hands on
5. Chap Stick-not sure if my lips make their own moisture anymore





I'm sure I could have 30-40 dollars a month if I gave up buying these item (OK with the coke maybe 50), but they make me happy.  I'm a big believer in loving the small things in life, smelling the roses and whatnot.  There are five examples of small things that make my life good.

PVR: The Marriage Saver

Well maybe not the marriage saver, and Mr.N pointed out that's a little bit extreme but it definitely help make ours work.  I love T.V. the 8-10pm slot is a huge part of my day, I look forward to my shows every night.  Mr.N loves hockey, the Maple Leafs more specifically and if you aren't aware for at least 7 months of the year they play on average of three games a week.  Each game last 3 hours of prime time T.V. watching, and according to all men it must be watched live for full enjoyment.

When we decided to cohabitate I insisted on having a PVR (digital video recorder), and have never looked back since.  It really is a life saver I always know what is happening on Grey's and Mr.N doesn't miss the 72 instant replays sports media insists on showing.  My mom once gave my Dad an anniversary card that said "the secret to our marriage is separate T.V's".  This was before the PVR, which is so much cheaper than a second flat screen (Mr.N will only buy the best most newest gadgets).

The PVR saves us a fight, so we can save it for who's turn it is for the dishwasher or who cleaned the bunnies cage last.  Anytime you eliminate a chance to fight you help make your marriage that much stronger.

Plus I can save my shows for a cloudy gross Saturday afternoon.

Nail Art: Luck Of The Irish

I love St.Patty's day, I see it as a day to celebrate having reddish hair and millions of freckles.  I wore a green scrub top, bright citruses eyeshadow and painted my nails bright green.  Having to see patients all day that's about as festive as I could get.

I used Sally Hansen Instra-Dri Mint Sprint as the base, for the clovers Orly's White Tips, Saly Hansens Gilty Pleasure and China Glazes Four Leaf Clover .  To create the image of the cloves I used Bundle Monster   image plate BM03.  Then for the rainbow on my ring fingers I used my Migi nail art pens, but I wish I had taken more time creating nice clean lines.

Wish I was out drinking green beers with all the other kids, they were actually lined up at 9:30am outside our local Irish pub.  Too bad I have to be a grown girl and get up early for work in the morning, a weeknight glass of wine will have to do. 

Have a safe St. Patty's, and if you painted yourself green DO NOT sit or pass out on your couch (aim for the tub)
