Some Good Finds

I had a gift card to this grocery store on the other side of town (naturally) so I biked there yesterday and found Giovanni Leave-In Conditioner (hallelujah!) and it was on sale (now we’re talking) and then it had a coupon so it was an extra dollar off (high-five!) so of course I got two! However, I forgot to get coconut oil so I went back today with my friend and we picked some up. Now I’m sitting on my couch with a plastic bag and towel on my head. Three cheers for coconut oil pre-poos!

We had delicious sushi and then got some green tea from David’s Tea since we are running low and that stuff is gooood! I found a tea mug for half price. It has a removable infuser with a lid. It’s pretty perfect for work. So that was a great find.

We wandered around the mall and I half to say The Bay has really impressed me lately. I found three things (but one wasn’t on sale so it went back). One was this chunky sweater which I’m a huge fan of and the other is a sweater dress. I’ve been a fan of sweater dresses since getting Whitney Houston’s ‘My Love is Your Love’ album. Is it weird that I have insane clarity on the moment I wanted a sweater dress? Anyway I found one. They had it in burgundy, black and navy. I went for burgundy. Both the sweater dress and chunky sweater are from Dex Clothing, a Canadian company, who knew? Being Canadian it’s actually kind of refreshing to purchase something from a Canadian company.

Okay, so these were pretty impulse purchases. But I don’t regret buying them so I’m content with that 🙂

I Don’t Normally Do This But…

I went SHOPPING! For the first time in a loong time. It was a great and I’m happy with the pieces I found. Took my roomie-friend T and we hit the streets. I’m actually surprised how much I found at the mall. And I didn’t spend more than $25 on any one item. There were some pretty great deals on at The Bay. I think I’m better equipped for my new job now.

We started out at Value Village and I found some pretty great pieces. There was one jacket that was this amazing, fun tapestry brocade-like material. I didn’t have the support I needed to purchase it (T and I have kind of different taste, which is good) but I just wasn’t 100% about it so I left it. But everything’s 50% off on Monday so I maaay take  peek back in… anyway I did find a cute button up polka dot cardigan for $8 so I’m pleased. Otherwise I found lots of sale items and I’m very happy with what I purchased. Have a look for yourself 🙂
