Oscars!

I know this is a bit late, and I haven't been on in a while, but whatever.

I LOVE the Oscars! I think this is the first time that I've actually watched the whole thing through. I was so happy that The Queen won, because I thought it was a great movie. And I'm also glad that The Departed and Pan's Labyrinth won as-well, because I really want to see those movies.

Marie Antoinette also won and I'm happy, because even though there were a lot of negative reviews for it, I thought it was an excellent movie. And congrats to Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, it was a huge box office success and was sure t win!

I thought Ellen DeGeneres did a terrific job as host, she was so funny!

N° 5

I went out today to purchase a new perfume, and found myself at the Chanel counter. I remember a few years ago, I smelled all of Chanel's perfumes, and hated them, so today, I was very hesitant. I sprayed a little of N° 5 on, and walked around a little bit. About 10 minutes later I sniffed my wrist, and wow, I absolutely love this scent. I've heard that this can smell "old lady-ish" but to me this is just the epitome of pure femininity. Chanel N° 5 is one of those scents that either smells lovely on you, or wreaks, because of everyone's different body chemistry. I guess I'm lucky that one of the classics smells good on me, and I'm very grateful, because when I smell this, I think Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and Jackie O, all style and woman.

I purchased this in the pure parfum form, because I've heard that the Eau de Toilette doesn't smell like N° 5 very much at all, and that the Eau de Parfum is better. However, if you want all the excellence of Chanel N° 5, you just have to buy the parfum. So I did, albeit, it was quite more expensive.

So, on with my purchases from today:

Chanel N° 5 Parfum

Chanel TEINT INNOCENCE in Albâtre

Chanel LÈVRES SCINTILLANTES in Volage

Chanel OMBRE ESSENTIELLE in Fizz

February

Hello, and happy February, or well, just hello. So a couple days ago it was Groundhog day, does anyone know if we should expect a long or short winter this year? I never actually pay attention to it, the movie made me HATE the occasion.

So, I've been busy and that's why I haven't updated much, but I'll try to again really soon. Umm, yesterday I went to my friend's party and had a great time, we went skating and I just talked and hung out with my some of my friends. Skating is the only thing—apart from Christmas, my birthday, and New Years— that I like about winter, I absolutely HATE the rest.

Well, just a random post for ya. :)

Birthday

Yay! Yesterday was my birthday, and I had lots of fun. This is a really short post, but I just wanted to say that...

xoxo, M.

Blush.....yeah

I decided that today I wanted to get a new blush. So I went out to Holts, and to the Nars counter. (Nars has the best blushes.) I decided that I wanted Deep Throat because it was a really pretty colour. I got home and tried some on, and WOW, it was sooooo pretty! It's my new HG blush, and makes my cheeks look gorgeous.

xoxo, M.

Stupid People Make Me Mad

Today my mom took my iBook to Future Shop to be fixed (I have their warranty). Well the people there are so stupid and can't find out how to turn the thing on. So they're sending it to Apple, and I mean come on this is their JOB, and they can't fix the damn thing. Now I have to wait 4-6 WEEKS to have it back. I don't understand how these people got jobs if they can't even do what's in the job description! All I can say is that I'm so glad I got my iMac because I would die without my computer for a month and a half!

xoxo, M.

Frustrated!

Ugh! My iBook (only a year old) is bugging me so much! It just suddenly turned off last night. I tired about 50 times to turn it back on, and it won't work! I've removed the battery, cleaned it, and replaced it a bunch too. Also, I checked the power cord, and make sure the batter was charged!

Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's just so annoying! So tomorrow I'm taking it to get it fixed, or figure out what's wrong with it. It better not take a long time to repair if it has to be done!

Sorry, vent...

xoxo, M.

Cool Reads

Since this blog is about me, I thought that maybe I should tell you some things about myself. Well, in the next series of post, you will learn more about me, because you probably don't know anything (about me, that is). This post is about some blogs that I like to read in my spare time. Check them out, and have fun!

Techie Diva's Guide to Gadgets
I really like this blog. It shows a female perspective about technology.

Shiny Shiny and Gadget Candy are similar to Techie Diva, and equally as interesting.

The Unofficial Apple Weblog
I'm such a geek, aren't I? I love most things made by Apple, and my Macs and iPods are practically my life. (Along with my cell phone and friends of course.)

I am Fashion
This is my absolute favourite fashion blog. It is amazing!

So, now you know that I'm a geeky fashionista. What else will you learn about me? You'll just have to stick around and watch for updates....

xoxo, M.

Worst Movies of All Time!

Recently, I was browsing the web and came across this article. It shows IMDB's bottom 100 movies of all time. Now, lets take a look shall we...

Many of these movies I have yet to see, and I'm somewhat thankful for that now, but a few of them, I have watched. Not all of these movies I agree with for being in the "Bottom 100".

Lets take Unaccompanied Minors for example. I saw this with my friend a couple of weeks ago. Now, it may not be the best movie, or have the best plot, or best problem. But the overall movie wasn't terrible. At least in my opinion. I actually thought it was really cute. It doesn't deserve to be the 6th worst movie ever. Material Girls, alright, this was kind of bad. It wasn't very interesting, but it was a stupid comedy, and thats what it was intended to be. So, it served its purpose, right? Baby Geniuses, haha, I saw this movie when it came out in 1999. Okay, I might have been a kid, so I couldn't really judge it that well. However, this movies is FOR kids, so shouldn't that count for something. Not what critics and adults say. The movie wasn't trying for the Oscars or anything.

Well those are the only ones I've seen. Whats your take on the list?

xoxo, M.

PurseGloss

CARGO, a cult favourite Canadian cosmetics company, has just added a new product to their lip gloss line. Their normal glosses come in a huge tins, with two colours. The lids come off very easily here, and the gloss can spill if you try to make it portable and take it anywhere. Thats why I'm in love with their new idea of PurseGloss! CARGO's glosses are some of the best, and now you can take them with you.

I really want PurseGloss in London (glimmering iridescent pearl), and Berlin (soft shimmering nude), how about you?

PurseGloss at Sephora

New Comp

A few days ago I got a new computer!!!!!!

I got my first Mac last year (iBook) and I've loved them ever since. So 2 day ago, I went out and got a new iMac. It's really pretty and I love it! I had so much fun with Photobooth last night (New Year's Eve) with my friend. We took about 50 photos and make slideshows. We had a blast!

xoxo, M.

List

The reason I'm blogging is because it's on my list. What list? Well, I was reading about how many people make 101/1001 lists and decided I wanted to make one. You do 101 things in 1001 days. I altered mine a little, so I'm doing 151 things in 1551 days! Maybe I'll post the list when I actually finish making it. I have 49 more things that I need to add. Any ideas?

xoxo, M.

Welcome

So this is my blog. If you like it, great, if you don’t, well I don’t give a shit. =)

I’m mostly going to just blog about my life, things I find interesting, and my friends here. I'll also post pics every once and a while. I might get some other people to (friends of mine) to post here as well sometimes. Well, enjoy!

xoxo, M.
