Nelson BC Boutique = New Fave Shop

Amongst my Spring Break 2011 travels, I came across quaint little shop in Nelson, BC - called Tara Davis Studio Boutique. I absolutely loved everything in it!! Everything - from their head bands, to their paintings, to the pillows, soap, and jewellry. I bought 3 things: 1. a little bottle can lid magnet - with a vintage looking eiffel tower printed on it. 2. a peacock feathered headband pics below... 3. an item that smells & looks EXACTLY like a blue icing donut...but it's actually a bar of soap XD The shop owner recieved her Jewellry Arts Certificate, and studied Industrial Design & Fiber Arts. She then toured Europe - scampering through museums & galleries absorbing their creative ideas. Then she went to India & SouthEast Asia, learning the ways of traditional weaving. She's very optimistic & friendly. I had such an amazing experience being in her store, and everyone that went in - came out with something. I found it extremely inspiring & I might even want to pursue such a career later on, in my future.

Lancôme Paris

One of my recently favourited makeup brands is Lancome!! I honestly can't find one product I don't like but here are a few that I adore:

They have a brand new foundation that actually makes my skin look flawless. Finding good porcelain skin tones is extremely hard but this one is perfect!









Next is the black eyeshadow. I love this stuff so much!! Unlike other brands, lancome makeup actually shows up with strong colours but because its so expensive - they make it so it's soft to apply & easy to blend.




And here we have their newest creation! Floral butterfly/bow printed blush. It's so cute, I almost wouldn't even want to use it!! :)

MOCKINGJAY.



Here is the 3rd & final book to an epic series. I'm not quite finished it yet but I can sense the suspense is *finally* starting to pick up. The first book is no doubt my favourite & after a terrible 2nd book, I wasn't really keen on reading this one. Of course, Sydney was jumping up and down with excitment - telling me I *had* to finish it. Well since I made a commitment, that's exactly what I'll do.


so far I would rate this book: 2.2 stars on account of:
- the style of writing wouldn't be my preference
- there's no detailed surroundings
- they're just waiting around for something to happen
- Katniss can't possibly go to war because she's the beacon of hope.
- and Peeta is still captured with no possible chance of love interest at the end. If she ends up with Gale, I will be extremely dissapointed.



Other than the fighting in the first book, I was intruiged by their possible love interest. With no hope for them in the future & her lack of combat, this book will be a total flip, flap, FLOP.
