Mellan Video:
1) I love that there’s music to it. LOL!
2) Is he only allowed on the grass? He looks like he’s having so much fun!! Running around room!!
3) Do you garden?
Haul: Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup, Rimmel for Kate Moss Lipstick in #12
Weekend plans: Relaxing with friends tonight, cleaning the house tomorrow, and I suppose the same on Sunday 🙂
What’s your favorite flower?: Blech I don’t like flowers. If I didn’t have allergies I wouldn’t mind them! I’ve always thought they smelled disgusting though xP Hmm…but I suppose really all of them are quite nice to look at.
He should stick to the grass overall, but there’s a sideyard that’s just bark right now for him to do his business.
I don’t, but maybe some day, lol!
Haul: MAC Call me bubbles eyeshadow quad, Watch me simmer and Quick Sizzle lipsticks
Weekend plans: Just rest.
What’s your favorite flower?:Orchids
Haul: MAC Added Goodness! I have used it alone and layered on top of a regular black gel liner. It’s pretty sweet!
Weekend plans: God I have so much to do I don’t know where to start! I have some emergency work that I have to finish within the next 4 days, major blogging and cleaning. Looks like my weekend is basically down the drain eh.
Favorite flower: Lotus! It’s my favorite memory of summer in Taiwan, the lotus ponds and how the leaves sway with summer breeze…
Mellan looks soooo excited with his Frisbee in a yard! Congrats on the big move (and that neighborhood restaurant looks promising)!!!
Haul: We had a load of MAC collections come out in the UK recently, so I bought Just Wonderful and Lasting Sensation lip liners (Tour De Fabulous), Annelie and Felicienne lipsticks (Marcel Wanders 2), Butterfly Dream Plushglass (Vera), Budding Love lipstick (Chen Man) and Watch Me Simmer lipstick (Shop MAC).

Weekend plans: Visiting friends and sewing. lol
What’s your favorite flower?: I’m not sure… Don’t have a lot of flowers around me to take notice of just one.
Mellan: “My Space!” I’m wondering is the brown mulch was a flower bead originally. At least he won’t be able to get under the fence.
The password for the newsletter doesn’t seem to be working this month for me.
I think there are just some plants in it, but we’re going to cover it up with grass this weekend (the L-shape of bark), because Mellan needs more grass, haha!
Haul: MAC, lots of MAC, and a trip to Sephora
Weekend plans: recover from a procedure by letting my husband wait on me for a change

What’s your favorite flower?: I think most flowers are quite pretty…just not a fan of the bees that flowers bring, lol.
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!! 🙂
Good so far! We’re exhausted, but everything is officially unpacked as of today, though there are a few pieces of furniture that need to be assembled yet!
Let me tell you – having a dining table to eat off of? AMAZING.
Haul: Not a thing! I’m cut off from buying cosmetics ever since I bought all of Armani’s Eyes to Kill shadows in Nov/Dec, my husband went nuts between the cost & some of the colors as he likes me natural looking.
Weekend Plans: Closing all the drapes & hiding inside the house with my husband as he’s been away for weeks for work…
Favorite Flower: Tulips, multicolored. I lived in NL for almost 7 yrs & I can never get enough of them although the prices here are outrageous compared to Holland where I put them everywhere. Just one whiff of them sends me back in time! Love to garden but everytime I plant something, even bulbs, some animal inevitably digs it up for his supper so I give up & buy boquets. Really wish they would dry nicely as roses do but no such luck.
haul: nothing
weekend plans: studying for my masters comps
favorite flower: maybe tiger lillies
i love how happy mellan looks to have a yard! as always, whatta cutie 🙂
Haul: My husband was in the doghouse and brought me home the ENTIRE Essie 2012 spring and resort collections…10 in all!!!! He’s out of the doghouse now 😉

Weekend plans: eyeing my textbooks and trying to convince myself to do school work
What’s your favorite flower?: I’m not a huge flower fan, but I’ll say rose because it’s my mom’s name and my middle name :]
Mellan looks so overjoyed that he’s got space to run around in! so cute 😀
Haul: 3 TheBalm gift sets from Marshalls for $30 instead of the $200 I would of paid on their website. =D
Weekend Plans: Catch up on housework and take the girls to the park.
Favorite Flower: Stargazer Lilies.
Mellan is so cute! He looks like he’s loving the yard and your grass is soooo green. Ours is all gross looking from the heat.

I fell down the Hakuhodo rabbit hole. O_O

Weekend plans: A concert tonight, studying and relaxing tomorrow!
Favourite flower: I love fresias, gardenias, orchids and lavenders.
Awww, congrats on the new house! I love the Mellan video–it’s like he doesn’t know what to do with all that space (I have a Labrador, myself). 🙂
We’re fortunate that he was always an apartment dog, so he never knew he what he was missing before now, ha!
Haul: I picked up one of Bare Minerals Ready to GO Blushes. I like the way they all swatch in the store, but I haven’t tried it out on my face yet.
Weekend Plans: Lots and lots of errands and cleaning. I like to spread spring cleaning out over a couple of weekends.
Favorite Flower: Daisy
I think I only got one product this past week – Maybelline Colour Tattoo Eyeshadow in Tough As Taupe
Weekend plans: We’re already in Montreal (arrived Friday noonish) to visit our son, who is doing his co-op term at an amazing softwear company here (I want to work there and I know nothing about softwear, computers or anything – I told the receptionist I could work as a cleaner!) BONUS (who knew? If I’d known I’d have come better prepared) – there is an Inglot store walking distance from our hotel. I’ve already bought 3 shadows and a palette.
Favourite flower: a toss up between lily of the valley (carried it in my bridal bouquet) and peonies. Both have such lovely fragrances. And snowdrops – the first brave flowers to poke their heads through and say “spring isn’t too far off”
Dogs are so CUTE when they’re obviously happy! Dogs in yards are so great.
