The fire in your eyes

If you know me, you'd know I like this place. $2.19 Almond Breeze, excellent, genuine banana chips, as per Bron, nuts and seeds to your heart's content, and all the other health food store trimmings. It's also just across the street from two of my favourite restaurants:

Nazareth

and Mazz

Sounds like a good Friday night to me. Oh, and this place. Topz. We really love slamming back drinkypoo-poos here, but I also really wanna try their brunchel.

The Afteryoge

The buildup for yoga is just like the way it used to be with swimming lessons - all this tension and nervosity prior to the class and then it all just melts away after the teacher yells at you for a while to swim faster and tread water for like 20 minutes straight. I'm telling you, hot yoga is amasian. I swear I burnt like 10,000 calories this week. When I'm walking home after, I move about 7 times slower than normal and almost forget my own name.

Alldaystressout

I'm going to hot yoge tonight. All week long I've been amping myself up about going, and then all day long today here and there I'll stop and remember that yes, I'm going to yoga tonight. So lame. It's only because when I went last week I couldn't quite keep up 'cause I was just getting over somethin and even though the teacher singled me out and asked me if I was ok and if it's was "too intense" but this didn't really bother me, I still have this low humming stress in my ear. God, get over it. It's only a lame-o hour and 30 minute-long yoga class. Bahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I just can't stand the doodz in the class anymore. The pools they leave behind!

My morning gangster

So, this morning as I was disembarking the Queen car, there were all these little gangsters scattering from the back door - I'm all, What, at this hour of the day?

The only real highlight of this run-in was the dood I saw with the following tattoo:

I didn't know these were like a 'thing.'

Horsefeathers

I'm so into stuff like this.

Going to Waterloo this weekend for some Bhima's to celebrate my broski's b-day. Afterwards, I hope to indulge in a little E-Lounge.

The Niks I know

I just love this guy

Video's pretty good too :-D

Spring Fireworks

New obsession

I'm so into this song right now. It also seems an apt pre-Spring oh-9 tune.

As I was walking along Queen near Spadeen right now, I noticed a shopkeeper throw a tiny handful of garbage onto the ground right out front of her own store. I don't get it.

Blindie

Some dood on the radio just referred to Stevie Wonder as "the guy who can't see."

A little piece of fame

Go here to watch my favourite episode of Dizzy Playground, which I also helped write! There are other eps on the site too, so enjoy them all, and tell all yer friends.

It doesn't get much funnier than this. Also, if maybe you had forgotten this fellow, go here.

Then your life will be complete. Ting!

Verdict: Worth the $14.99

So, after testing out - or 'lashing' out - (again, I could go on) my very own tube of L'Oréal Double Extend Beauty Tubes mascara, I quickly decided that this thing is absolutely worth the $14.99 you'd slam down on the counter of your local drugstore, (or that you'd furiously punch the keys in on any debit machine... or credit card chip machine - am I being specific enough here as to how you'd go about buying this product?) Ok, I am. Yes!

I quite enjoyed the two-step process to applying this mascara. First you apply the nourishing base coat (which looks like you're putting a thin layer of vanilla icing on your lashes) and then you seal the deal by applying the black mascara with the amply bristled wand. As another blogger also noted, my lashes really were noticeably longer, just like the mascara commercials always promise. And I can't say I've ever experienced that effect with another mascara, even with many of the department store brands.

Similarly, the removal process is just as breezy and almost like a science experiment. Unlike normal mascara removal, Beauty Tubes removes almost like that nail polish they used to make that you could just peel off. It doesn't remove messily, or bleed at all, but reminds me of more like washing slightly dried latex paint out of a paintbrush - very easy, mess-free, and quite effortless. And, you need only water!

So, overall, I was very impressed with this product, which hit stores in December 2008. I highly recommend it, and I also really enjoyed the L'Oréal smokey eyeshadow compact I tested as well. Shades of grey - and lovin' every minute of 'em.

I'm a grey nerd as well. But I'll leave that topic for another post.

Maybe give up

Maybe the TTC and whoever their designer is for Metropasses should just give up. I'm sorry, but a photo (and a shitty one at that) of three subway seats as the image for this month's pass? A sorry sight, if you ask me. I generally find the Metropass images embarrassing actually. Yeeesh.

I'm going to update in a very short time about my experience with the L'Oréal Beauty Tubes. Get ready my faithful followers!!!!
