I found these delicious socks in the mess that is Winners! Sometimes unique pieces can come from mainstream places but nobody needs to know 😜

Vinyl Me Please- March 2016 Edition
March’s Vinyl Me Please pressing is my favourite so far. It’s an exclusive white vinyl edition of Lapsley’s Long Way Home, which is one of my favourite non-Canadian albums this year. Plus she’s only 19! It also comes with an art print, and a special poster with a note from the artists.
Super excited to have this as part of my collection. I would’ve picked up this one eventually in store but I always love having exclusive colour editions.
Camera USB
I was gifted this adorable Camera USB! It looks exactly like a Canon DSLR (but it says SONY for some reason).
The lens come out to reveal a USB! Isn’t it adorable?
#BioreBakingSoda Box From Influenster
I recently qualified for the Influenster Bioré Baking Soda Vox! I received a complimentary set of their pore cleanser and scrub from their baking soda line.
The Baking Soda pore cleanser was light and gentle on the skin. You can see little flakes of baking soda in the bottle. It leaves a nice fresh scent that is not too overwhelming. I found that using it daily doesn’t dry out my skin too much, but always remember to moisturize after cleansing your face!
This was a little bit strange at first. It literally looks like baking soda when you pour it into your hand. At first, I would use way too much water and dilute it too much. It feels like a micro scrub wash when used, leaving my skin feeling fresh and exfoliated. I wouldn’t recommend using this daily as it is a little bit more drying but it does what it advertises!
Vinyl Me Please – February 2016 Edition
This month’s Vinyl Me Please selection is a legendary remastered version of Big Bill Bronzy folk songs from the Smithsonian Folkways label. This is a timeless pressing of a historical classic.
There was also a beautiful print by McKenzie Nelson and an extra 7″ from the HBO series Vinyl. Can’t wait to see what is in store next month!
Dollarama Review: Reese Snacksters
Did you know these existed? I did not know these existed until I walked into Dollarama today. I bought them and instantly ate them. They taste like you are dipping sticks into melted Reese’s Buttercups, completely with a lumpy texture. My one criticism was that the stick to dip ratio was uneven and there could’ve been way more sticks!
Pokemon Shirts at Society 6
Over the holidays I ordered a few T-shirts from Society 6 by an artist named PaperBeatScissors. This one has all the Pokemon from the old games!
And I got Nash a shirt full of Smash Bros characters.
Aren’t they both adorable? I love buying original printed shirts online (but can’t this month because it is part of my 30 Day Challenge).
Collapsible Salad Bowl
This year I’ve been making more of an effort to eat healthy by cooking more and buying less processed foods. Last year a lot of my work lunches have been canned soups or those pastas and pizza pockets you can microwave. I wanted to make eating lunch exciting again by finding fun ideas on Pinterest and creating them myself.
I found this perfect salad bowl at Home Sense by Smart Planet that has a separate layer for dry ingredients. The bowl also collapses when you are done so that it doesn’t take up space when you carry it home! How cool is that?
The Face Shop Haul
I was really excited to find out that The Face Shop now has a downtown location at the Eaton’s Centre. Previously, I would have to go to Pacific Mall to obtain any Asian beauty products.
Winter really dries out my hands so I purchased this Olive & Argan oil hand cream. A little goes a long way and the sent is very light.
I also purchased more of the Real Nature face masks. A set of 15 different ones only cost $20!
I bought this Blackhead nose strip for $1 so I could get an extra discounted face mask below:
I’m excited to try this honey mask that is a different line than the Real Nature ones. Hopefully I won’t look like a pig haha!
The lady at the cash suggested I sign up for a points card so I can collect points towards future purchases. If you ever want some affordable beauty products, be sure to check out The Face Shop.
I Bought This Because It Looks Like My Friend
This necklace is actually a combination of Norm Kelly’s face and Drake’s facial hair but it somehow magically also looks like my friend @shmeeli so I bought it.
I purchased it on a crowdfunding platform named Tilt that funds smaller scale projects and services (like Groupon sort of). It came vacuumed sealed (by mouth according to the label).
