This week’s Mellan photo…
Mellan looming over all (okay, just some) of his toys!
If you like salmon, I’d try grilling that. Oooh! Have you ever grilled shrimp on skewers? That’s always delicious. Brush with olive oil and salt, then sprinkle lime juice after they’re done.
@Pamela Thank you for the tips!
Haul: 11 new Lit Cosmetics Glitters (accidentally order 12th shade that I already have. oops!) Also picked up 3 of the new Annabelle Twist Up lip crayons… lovely!Weekend plans: Picking up my sewing machine!What was your favorite cartoon growingup?: She-ra and My Little Pony most likely I don’t remember a single episode of My Little Pony but had SO MANY of the toy’s over the years but I do remember She-ra.
Haul: A ton of Revlon makeup: Coral Reef and Flushed cream blushes, Super Lustrous lipstick in Violet Frenzy, Colorstay Pencil Liner in Black, Whimsical nail polish, an NYC transcluscent powder and NYC Midnight Rose lip gloss. Weekend plans: Runway show for GAZE Ezine! I’m doing a strong coral-red lip, peachy cheeks and simple neutral eyes on the models. http://gazeezine.com/#What was your favorite cartoon growing up?: I loved Looney Tunes, Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, and Mighty Max.
Chris25 Oooh, Tiny Toons! Those were so much fun!
Haul: I’ve been verwe verwe bad this week. BAD! B A D !!! It is all these Fall collections and ‘Exclusive’ Nordstrom items (damn them!) I’m not even going to list the items because I”m just not. Suffice it to say a few Had to Have items became a pile of items and Armani, Chanel, Nars were in my sights. Weekend Plans: Sitting in my tractor, Mr. Blue Sky (He has a sunroof and air con too!) and harvesting/hauling crops non-stop until the job gets done.Favourite Cartoon: The classic Looney Tunes with Bugs, Porky Pig, Daffy and the whole gang etc.. The BEST!!! I do a mean Marvin the Martian imitation.
Enjoy the bbq, Christine! Anything tastes better when it’s been on the grill! Is it just me or is this site not working as it normally does? It sure looks a bit different (where are our “numbers”, for example?)Haul: Guerlain Rouge Automatique lipsticks in Habit Rouge and L’Heure Bleue; GOSH Velvet Touch pencil liner in Black Ink (a 2nd one to carry with me); Maybelline Caffeine Rush eyeshadow little palette thing; some Quo facial blotting papersWeekend plans: painting the Muskoka chairs we planned to paint last weekend except the rains moved in; trying out some new recipes (I’m in a real cooking rut); going to my first “real” Yoga class – a special workshop for absolute beginners. I’m older and have real knee issues too so I’m both looking forward to this and a bit fearful as wellFavourite cartoon: probably The Flintstones (which gives you an idea of my age!)
he looks sooooooo cute
Haul: Nothing… Plans: Packing; we’re moving in a couple of weeks.Cartoon:Scooby Doo.
Haul: YSL touche eclat foundation in B10. china glaze safari collection- kalahari kiss, im not lion, desert sun, elephant walk.Weekend plans: beach, pool, puppy and froyo!Fav cartoon: sailor moon!
MIRIANV Sailor Moon was a market game changer I was 11/12 when it first aired in Canada. I was like nothing i seen before not so much in style but themes and story. At the Same time I was watching Reboot religiously as well has it had more substance to the story telling them most cartoon. I watch She-ra and My Little Pony’s when i was like 2 to 6 years old so to me they lefts more of a mart as they where the first I seen. But I have a much more accurate memory on Sailor Moon and Reboot because I would rewatch them and draw still off the TV of Sailor Moon. (I still have those sketches and a binder of them. lol)
Ani_BEE I remember watching Sailor Moon at 12 PM on YTV when I came home from school for lunch, the best part of the school day if I do say so myself! LOL
fireinthehead what is this sorcery!? coming home for lunch in SCHOOL? I would’ve loved to do that in New Jersey
MIRIANV I don’t think most of the elementary schools here in Ontario have cafeterias, so you either bring your lunch from home or you go home. My Dad worked from home and I lived less than a block from school so I could go home and eat and watch TV 🙂
MIRIANV So funny before even reading your comment I listed Sailor Moon as my fav cartoon back in the day (probably still my fav as I own the whole series! lol).
Haul: I bought some Sinful Colors polishes last weekend, and my Nordstrom order (ETK #25 & Chanel Troublant) arrived!Weekend plans: I took the California Bar Exam Tues, Wed, and Thurs this week – super grueling and exhausting, but it went relatively well (I think), and now I’m done! So – this is a long way of saying that I’m off to Las Vegas for a week, YAY.
Emi at Project Swatch I bet you did fantastic! 🙂
Emi at Project Swatch A hearty congratulations, Emi! Have a fabulous weekend!!!!
Emi at Project Swatch Congratulations on surviving!!!! And a big massive HURRAH that it’s not only over but that you thought it went well! I’m truly happy for you. Was it as bad as you thought it would be? When I took it — and I took the California one, like you — there were people vomiting in the bathrooms en masse, like some sort of twisted symphony. (But at least no-one wrapped answers in a waterproof piece of paper around a tampon like one girl who was caught in Texas that same year, though I’m sure that’s merely an apocryphal tale.)
Emi at Project Swatch Congrats! Have an amazing weekend!

Haul: Zoya polishes in Wednesday, Meg, and Zuza. Urban Decay eye shadow in Mushroom. Hope to pick up Snatch today since last week at Ulta they ran out. A male worker said he’d look for more and I got to hear another worker tell me, “He’s going to try to find your Snatch!” My sister and I bust out laughing. Yes, we have dirty lil’ minds!Plans: Besides more gardening, probably go to Downtown Disney with the hubs early Sunday morning so we can shop in peace!Cartoon: Oh, crap. Let’s just say I watched A LOT and I loved them all. 😉
Haul: I spent almost $200 at Lush on Sunday. I was desperate!! My counter closed and there was a lapse of a full month before they opened the new freestanding store!

Kafka He loves ropes, because he loves to play tug-o-war. The steaky toy is new – came with July’s BarkBox. Super squeaky, so he loves it!
Haul: some l’oreal infallible eyeshadows :)Weekend Plans: take the mother-in-law out for her bday dinner looking forward to it…NOT!Favorite Cartoon Growing Up: was Fraggle Rock … but that was puppets lol
mathteach1982 Loved Fraggle Rock!

What do we do with our lives now??)Fave Cartoon: I am so in love with the vintage Disney and Warner Brothers cartoons- esp. those from the 40’s. They are so charming and clever!
aaebert67 Congratulations on taking (and surviving) the Bar! Now you need to hit another kind of bar to recuperate…. 😉
Kafka Thank you!! Yeah, I’m LDS so I can’t drink. Besides, I don’t think alcohol is enough to undo the last 3 months of misery! 🙂
aaebert67 I know exactly what you mean. I can say in all honesty that the 3 months of studying for the bar were worse than all 3 years of lawschool *AND* all 3 days of the exam itself. But you’re free now… free of ALL of it! So, if drinking is out, may I suggest a lot of chocolate? Perhaps while dancing to “I will Survive” on loud volume? You can change the lyrics after “First I was afraid, I was petrified….” and then sing, “I *did* survive!” LOL. 😉
Kafka So true- studying was much worse than the exam itself. And I started on extra chocolate a month ago 🙂
Mellan is so adorable! Is that steak toy from BarkBox? We got one that looks just like that this month.
alexandrastokes90 It sure is! 🙂 How does your pup like it?
Christine (Temptalia) Our 2 Boxers share it and we are on month 4. Love it so far! Spoiled dogs. : )
Haul: Chanel Fleur de Lotus blush, which I may or may not keep. There’s nothing wrong with the formula or color by any means and I don’t go for bright blushes but on my medium-light skin it’s a little TOO natural looking for $43. Had it not been LE I wouldn’t have given it a second glance. That’s what I get for not swatching!
Weekend plans: take my nephew to see Batman.
What was your favorite cartoon growing up: Looney Tunes for sure (my mom is a fanatic and therefore I watched with her) and a tie between My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake, and JEM.
Haul: NYC sunny bronzer (shocked by how amazing it is), revlon photoready mascara, LAsplash splashproof primer, LAsplash green glitter, replacement NYX glosses in beige and sugar pie, rimmel santa rose blush, some samples and small sizes of bb creams from prettyandcute.com.Weekend plans: work, work, work.My favorite cartoon growing up: Rugrats.

Today was impulse purchase day: at Victoria’s Secret, The Nakeds palette and a face highlighter, and at Sephora, an eyebrow kit from Anastasia.Week end: not sure, just chilling!Favourite cartoon: we had a lot of Japanese cartoons in France when I was a kid, and I think my all-time favorite was Jeanne & Serge, the story of a young volleyball player.
Haul: NARS Silk Road eyeshadow duo, NARS Anardana nail polishWeekend plans: Olympics, shoppingWhat was your favorite cartoon growing up? Hey Arnold!
Haul: I need to go buy some OPI nail polish for summer- Problem is in Australia the winter shades are released, so I might as well just get a few brights here. And Ulta’s 20% is great. First I just gotta go to an art and wine fair and look at the little kiosks for some cool soaps, jewelry and other knicknacks. Weekend: Olympics, I’m a swimmer, but it’s bittersweet to watch the Australians since my teammate (who is Australian) didn’t make the Games for swimming and it was his dream. But go USA (I am from the US, just spend a few winters down under.) And the Art and Wine Fair in Alameda and shopping at Ulta maybe. Cartoon: Can I just say Anime? Sailor Moon!

Haul: Naked Cosmetics Ivory Pigment Stack and an avon glimmersticks eyeliner (last makeup purchase till the sephora friends and family sale! Oooh it hurts!) Can I do it? I think so!

Wish me luck ~ lol.Weekend Plans: 12 hour shifts and some serious reading time :))Favorite Cartoon: Well thats a tough one… Probably Sailor Moon? Can I get away with that? Tenchi Muyo?
