My First Etsy Earring Purchase

These past couple weeks have been filled with multiple "firsts" for me: moving into my (and Allan's) first owned condo, my first bout of dry skin, my first macro picture-taking experience and my very first etsy purchase. And, because the latter involves a fellow beauty product junkie, I can't wait to show you my purchase! Kenzie, from Bumblebee Tuna, is an absolutely awesome chick. I've gotten to know her quite well in the past couple weeks from emails back and forth about our lives and her fabulous earrings. See, Kenzie isn't only a beauty blogger but she also designs some very exceptional accessories. I'll be honest, I wanted to snap up every pair of earrings she had BUT I settled for two completely different pairs.

How cute is this box she sent everything in? Love the colors and pictures. Oh, and she also scribbled me a personalized message...love it.

Nothing beats the teal/purple combo and these cute earrings also have little hummingbirds dangling from chains.

I am in love with this pair. Nothing fancy and yet the color blue is just beautiful.

Oh, did I mention that, including shipping, I paid only $18? I know, right? I can't wait to purchase some more. Seriously, ladies, check out her blog and her earrings here and help a fellow Canadian out.... PS - these pictures were my first try at using the MACRO setting. Who knew that even existed? All this time, I thought I had a crappy camera but in fact, I didn't know how to use it. YAY for figuring things out!!! XO

Odds and Ends

New things new things!!!!

It's always so much fun to buy stuff.....here's some of my recent purchases!!!

Look at my brand new earrings! Allan actually bought these for me when we were in Barkerville. Supposedly, they are quite unique as they are Zebra Coral and since they're red, they're my absolute fave!!! Allan bought me a red coral necklace for a past birthday and they're going to look smashing together.

YAY for me!! A new blowdrier. I love this one. My hairdresser actually uses this exact one and I fell in love with it instantly PLUS it doesn't sound like an airplane taking off in my bedroom. Best part is, Renate, who you all know is a hair stylist, got a really great deal on this purdy contraption.

My new handbag. It's a Samsara by Matt & Nat and I lucked out and got this at 50% off. I'm sure that everyone's aware of this already but Matt & Nat is an eco-friendly and vegan product line. They make everything from wallets and bags, to bracelets and belts. Ooo, and another great thing, their purses last forever.....

Isn't shopping the best?
