forgive me mother, for i have shopped
purchase post.ugh. see. this is a confession. i fell off the not-buying wagon real bad the last month or so. i got excited cause i was actually doing well with my monies, and i had lots extra. and then i was online so much and there were so many great things. i fully admit that i have failed in my minimal-buying resolve.* along with the ipad case which i've already told you about, here's what else i bought online.gap jeans that are oh so bright-yet-pale and springy. grey t-shirt which is comfy and casual.blue plaid olden-timey bathing suit from modcloth.and in real life, i got this red sweater...

this long weekend (which was extra long thanks to my amazeballs boss-and-job) was maybe the greatest long weekend that did ever happen. maybe. very possibly. top 5 for sure.i really never expected to love toronto this much. but i do. love it so so much. i am so happy with this city. friday i had an awesome workout at the extension room, where there was only two of us in the class so jenn worked us extra hard. (abs say owwwww.) then saw joel plaskett with jeff at the queen elizabeth theatre. i will come back to that. saturday was a mega sleep in, then a law-student bbq with sarah and her classmates...

summer skin
it is the time to be outside by pools or in parks or at very least walking the dog through the sunny sunny valley paths. and therefore it is time for a change in skincare and stuff! it is oh so humid here in this city, and my wintertime powders won't last a second with all the damp. damn.so here is a list of products that i've been thinking of or dreaming of or already love.{want} {trying} {favourite}and here's a breakdown of what we've got!wants:* essie nail polish in geranium. (confession, i do own a few essies, so it could be in the 'favourite' category, but the real want here is the awesome...

update
well it's just past two weeks into this food elimination thing, so i thought i'd give you a quick update. so far it isn't sooooo bad. i'm putting more time into cooking rather than just throwing some pasta on the stove. which is good. for my brain as well as my body. i forget how satisfying cooking something real can be.i'm eating kale like a monster. oh man i cannot get enough of the stuff! kale in everything! kale forever!generally, although it is early to say, i am feeling good in the stomachs. i find i feel like i'm hungrier, which i think has to do with feeling less disgustingly bloated-mc-pain-doubledover....

fashioney week. fashioney thoughts. last friday, as i mentioned, roommate-sarah and i drove down to collingwood (in eug's kickass smart car, thanks eug!!!) to watch 'miss representation' with stylist-sarah, and a theatre filled with women and girls. (and, i think, somewhere around 5 men and boys.) a few things about that trip.one! the screening was hosted by a group called girlfriends, an after-school program for girls in grades 7 and 8. this program looks just amazeballs, and i hope that there is something equivalent wherever i am raising my one-day-daughter(s). teaching girls to be inclusive...

tiny human soon
claire is gonna have a baby soon! and we had a parté for her and alex and it was great. i am pretty excited about this baby, because it is gonna be well-loved and probably a lot of awesome-cool.the amazing hostesses did such a great job, and i wish i'd brought a good camera and captured all the lovely. like the homemade scones served with clotted cream and jam. and the tiny tea sandwiches (cream cheese and various... red onion, cucumber...) with their crust perfectly cut off. and even printed tea menus. so charming and delicious. kate made this hilarious-creepy-frog-mouse-head pinata. we painted...
