I’m alive!

The Olympic fever caused me to have an actual fever… or more like germ poisoning. How, you ask?? Well, me (& witnesses) think it’s from eating homemade chili… with a small strand of green dish sponge in it!! As you can see from the link, a dish sponge is one of the dirtiest pieces in the kitchen. My chili was accidentally contaminated by it. Gross.  And then I had to poop. A lot. And then I had a fever.

All that aside, I felt like crap for 2 days so I thought I’d try to compensate by dolling up.I guess it worked. Thanks to the dish sponge owner for giving me a reason to dress up, a topic to blog about, allowing me to miss work and helping me lose 3 lbs. No hard feelings. :)

XO,

It looks like I might be on a blogging hiatus for a bit because I’m a die-hard fan of the…

Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics!

Have you guys been following? Going to the events? Visiting Vancouver?? The city is ALIVE and it is freakin’ awesome! I’ll be geared up and roaming the streets and houses over the next two weeks!

Follow me on Twitter: _bunnie_ to keep updated with my Olympic adventures!

I Believe…

XO,

Let’s admit it, this year is the year to be frugal. (Well, it is for me at least!) And if being frugal is one of the resolutions on your list, then I’ve got some great (and frugal) ideas for you! Even if you’re not working around a budget, there’s nothing wrong with a doing a few sweet things for that special someone(s).

Chocolate Strawberries

Extremely easy to make. Extremely delicious and fun to eat. All you need is some baking chocolate or chocolate chips, shortening, and strawberries. Melt the chocolate and a bit of shortening in a double boiler or in the microwave. Dip your strawberries into the melted chocolate and set to dry. Then…. you’re done. Finished too quickly? Melt some white chocolate and drizzle on top. Easy, quick, delicious and cheap. Being sweet has never been so easy!

Sexy Lingerie

Okay, maybe this isn’t the most frugal thing but hey, getting some new lingerie does have its benefits: you look sexy, your partner thinks you look sexy, and uh, you’ve got new lingerie!! Being a total sex kitten in itself also has a lot of benefits…. I’ll leave those benefits unspoken.

Why I ♥ U

Sure sure, you say it all the time but when’s the last time you really let him know just how much you appreciate him? Or maybe just how much you don’t appreciate him? Write down all the reasons why he’s special – serious, cute and silly – and package it in a pretty jar, box or booklet. Men need their egos stroked once in a while you know?

Scavenger Hunt

Send him on a scavenger hunt in your home or around the city. Leave sweet and meaningful clues that lead from one to the next… ultimately finishing with a surprise! ;) wink.

Coupon Book

Create a coupon book with favors for all of his favorite things – homemade dinner, body massage, Friday night hockey with beer. And maybe some naughty things too…

Bubble Bath

Light some candles, fill up the tub and get wet! After a exciting V-Day celebration, take a warm bubble bath together. Romantic and relaxing.

Photo Book

Tired of the typical photo album? Try making a published photo album like the one from LuLu.com. Choose between hardcopy or paper back, as well as various themes and album sizes. Definitely something you’ll love as well.

The First Date

Go back to the day it all began and reenact your first date… { if you can remember it!} Revisit the places you went together — the restaurant you ate at, the movie you watched or the mall you dragged him to.

Photo Shoot

Book yourself in for a professional and fun photo shoot. Take a wide range of photos and pick a few to give to your man. If you’re feeling wild, try taking some seductive photos. Don’t be shy!

Indoor Picnic

Spread a blanket on your bed or on the floor and have an indoor picnic with yummy finger food and snacks. Make it fancy with seafood and steak or keep it light with cheese and crackers, but don’t forget the wine!

Sweets Bar

Set up your own dessert bar fully equipped with ice cream, cookies (ice cream cookies anyone?), fresh fruits, melted chocolate , strawberries, whipped cream and champagne. Caution, fun activities may follow…

Naked Day

Has anyone ever tried this? Go about the evening (or day) in the nude. Cook dinner at home, watch movies, dirty dance, go pee… heck even mop the floor or dust your house in the nude.  Whatever it is. Just be naked. There are a few things to keep in mind though – close the blinds (unless you want your neighbours to see),  don’t partake in vigorous exercise (unless you want free ‘limbs’ flying everywhere) and avoid cooking anything that will hurt… like bacon! Oh yeah, this is not recommended if you live at home with your family.

Enjoy!

Bliss: Baggage Handler – $28 US

“This lightweight eye treatment is hands (and bags) down your best bet for fighting persistent puff (or temporary post-party peeper-fatigue). Cucumber and cornflower extracts and fine line-whittling wheat proteins reduce incumbent wrinkles, leaving you looking bright-eyed (even when you feel bushed).”

Average Rating on Sephora: 4.5/5

I LOVE BAGS!!!! Designer bags… shopping bags… and hobo bags, that is.

Santa never seems to listen to me {or maybe I’m just too naughty}. So instead of discovering a Marc Jacobs bag under the tree for Christmas each year, I ‘m stuck with major EYE bags hanging on to my face…. not for one day a year, but for every day of the year. Every. Year.

Not to mention, I got two of them. Last time I checked, I only asked for one.

Here’s the story… I’ve had under eye bags since as long as I can remember and I’ve come to accept the fact that I’m just going to look like shit every morning and receive ‘Awww you look tired’ comments on a regular basis. { Don’t tell a girl she looks tired. That’s just a nicer way of saying ‘you look like shit.‘ }

I started using Bliss Baggage Handler two months ago. I’ve heard great reviews about the product and it was recommended to me by an awesomely cool guy at Sephora. Haay! It comes in a clear light weight gel that’s easy to apply and has as soothing, fresh feeling to it. It works to remove puffiness under the eye and is also suppose to have long term effects – that’s what I’m starting to see. The gel contains elements that work to drain water, decreasing puffiness and also tightens the skin so that once the water is drained, you’re not left with saggy skin. Sounds pretty good to me. Next time you’re at Sephora, get yourself a sample!

It hasn’t completely removed my under eye bags – mine are pretty heavy. But for people that it’s only a minor issue for, I’ll bet it works wonders! I’ve tried a lot of products that claim to decrease puffy eyes…. yeah yeah, you liars.

How do you treat under eye bags?

XO,

In 2010, taking out the trash is no longer be a chore…

Because the Louis Vuitton Raindrop Besace “trash” bag from their Spring 2010 collection will help you do it in style! You can even remove the straps… if you want to really look like you’re taking out the trash. Just don’t end up throwing it away.

I’m curious to know what inspired this idea. Oh, yeah, I was bored at home so I decided to ‘design’ a garbage bag that costs $2000.Yes, it’s new, its different. And maybe even a bit creative. But seriously… WTF! Maybe they’re trying to fit in with the ‘go green’ trend. Or maybe they’re paving the way for their new zip-lock wallets.  Whatever it is, it’s ironic – designer meets garbage.  Genius!

Would I wear this? Sureee…. why not. I’ll take the brown one please. I don’t think I can do authentic green trash bag. By the way, I said I’ll take. Not buy. My greens are staying in the bank for this one.

Hey here’s a bright idea! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Why not get your girlfriend one? Tell them Bunnie suggested it. { I’m kidding. Please don’t. I don’t want to end up in the trash. Aha! } Don’t feel like paying $2000? No problem! You can simply DIY this look with a garbage bag and a strap. After all, handmade gifts are the most sentimental right??

What do you

think?

Yup. It’s a no for me.
