Video: Snowboarding at Mont Tremblant.
Mar 22nd
Besides beauty, my other love is snowboarding. Here I was in Mont Tremblant, Quebec yesterday happily riding — then not so happily falling — on a hill.

Thanks to Rom ♥ for the awesome shot. More pictures of my trip to come.
What a Low-Buy Looks Like + Snowboarding.
Jan 26th
I’ve been good at keeping myself from spending on beauty products this month. I’m just recovering from the Holiday bills, so I’m trying to keep the purchases to a minimum. Let’s see, shall we?
- Sassy Minerals Beauty Spree. All the samples for only $8.50.
- Tresemme 24 Hour Body Conditioner. I picked up a ginormous bottle on sale for $5.00.
- MAC New York Apple Lipstick. OMG Back-to-MAC might just be the best thing ever. I got this one for free!!! after returning 6 empty products.
- Sephora Flashy Liner in Flashy Mauve. So pretty! It’s like MAC Stars ‘n Rockets eyeshadow in waterproof pencil. Only $9.00.
That’s only $22.50 for the month so far! I’m so pleased with myself.
Some Pictures and Swatches!

Snowboarding Getaway!
In other news, my boyfriend and I drove up north for some snowboarding last weekend. Unfortunately it rained on Sunday (WTF? it’s January!) so we didn’t get to do more. I’m definitely itching to go again. Here are some pictures.
Here I am trying to make my boyfriend’s snowpants look sexy. LOL.
You always gotta look cute. 
Goggles and helmets and all.

Taking a little photo break after a run. BTW, as you can see, my makeup was very minimal. I’m wearing the Sephora liner on my lower lash line, one swipe of CoverGirl VolumExact waterproof mascara, and Benefit PosieTint on cheeks and lips.
How’s everyone else doing? I feel like I haven’t talked to you guys in ages! What’s new in your life?

I don’t know why this has been delayed to eternity… but nevertheless here it is!
Playa Samara. Hands down the best beach in Costa Rica! Less touristy than most, gorgeous waters for beginner surfers…

It was pretty difficult to leave that room… it was just so cozy!
I can say that I fully appreciated the ocean view. Amazing!

May 2nd
Hi everybody. I am back! A few fantastic things to share with you all:
- I have finished school! This, of course, depends on whether I passed my elective: History of Espionage. I’m pretty sure I pulled at least a 60%. LOL. B. Sc. in Computer Science, baby!
- The boyfriend and I are going on our first trip together to Costa Rica on May 9. Three weeks will include a hike to the active volcano, hanging out with the turtles, surfing, and ziplining among other fun stuff. We’re super excited!
- I’ve been playing some World of Warcraft with my boyfriend. All my friends warn against it as it is social suicide, but I get to dress up my cute gnome warrior. Yes, her name is Kitteh. LOL.
