Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream

Hey all,

Today I wanted to talk to you guys about a product that I've been using for a little over a year now, the Body Shop's Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream. Is mattifying even a word...my spell check is telling me it's not. But whatever this potentially made-up word is, I like it and I love the way it makes my skin look!

This is what it looks like, and it's essentially just a day cream, except that it's designed for people with combination to oily skin. The nice thing about this cream too, is that it also moisturizes your skin, instead of just drying out all the oils (which a lot of oily skin moisturizers tend to do!). I apply this product every morning and it helps keep oil and shine at bay almost all day long! I do find that near the end of the day, typically in the evening, that I do get a little bit of a shine, but it lasts almost 10 hours generally, and that's pretty good in my books. 

Another thing I love about this cream is the texture. Unlike many other creams that I've tried that are thick and heavy, the Seaweed cream is literally gel consistency, and applies so wonderfully onto the face. It also feels soothing on the face when applying, and is generally just a great product. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone with combo/oily skin, and even to those of you have dryer or normal skin!

Billy Talent Concert ++ Birthday!!

Hey all!

So about a week and a half ago it was my birthday (yay) and my wonderful sister bought me tickets to go see Billy Talent (YAY!!) in concert! The neat part of it all was that the concert was actually ON my birthday, which was pretty wicked. 

The first band to come out was a punk rock band called Pup. When they first came out, I honestly didn't know who they were, because Hollerado was supposed to be the opening act. However, I was pleasantly surprised by their music and the band in general. They had great stage presence and their music was super catchy. I would absolutely recommend their music to anybody, and they're from Toronto too, so that's a bonus! One of my favourite tracks was probably 'Lionheart', which I'll leave a link for below:

Second up was Hollerado. This would have been the second time I've seen them perform live, and they do NOT disappoint. Their music sounds so much like their tracks, and they really do an amazing job at getting the crowd excited for their music, especially when most of the audience was there to see Billy Talent. I should mention, that during their performance, a very small mosh pit did start...and as I am inexperienced in the punk rock concert department, I assumed that was the extent of it. 

Boy was I wrong. Next was Billy Talent, and I literally could not wait. I was so excited to see them come out, and we had gotten ourselves to 3rd row, so we were super close to the band! Well...as those of you who have been to a punk concert will know, what came next was pretty intense. That tiny little mosh pit I had mentioned previously was the least of my worries. Billy Talent came out and of course played Devil in a Midnight Mass....well that surely got the crowd fired up, and it went crazy from there. People punching people in the head, a girl fell on my head, just utter chaos. BUT, it was seriously an amazing concert, and Billy Talent is better live than on their tracks...seriously incredible. They had the crowd going nuts, and it was the best concert I've probably ever been to! I would recommend seeing them in concert if nothing else!! Billy Talent, and all the other bands I mentioned are a must-see live!!

Hope you guys are having a wicked week, talk to you soon :)

TV Shows, Hockey, TOO much to watch!

Hello all,

So as I'm sure most of you know, it's fall. Although the weather lately doesn't necessarily reflect this new season, autumn is upon us. This means an absurd amount of TV shows are starting up again, new ones are coming out, and the beloved NHL season is back!

I'm not sure about how many of you guys watch hockey, but as a proud Canadian, I am a massive fan (GO SENS GO)! But, the major downfall to this, is how will I manage to watch hockey AND complete all of my homework? Or for those of you who don't watch hockey, how will you watch your favourite TV shows and still do your homework?!

Well, I think I have developed a master plan...or at least a half decent plan that I think might work.

I'm going to use hockey as my main example, but this is easily applicable to most TV shows. COMMERCIALS! As much as we all hate having our favourite TV shows interrupted with a darn commercial, they can be super helpful when trying to get homework done! Essentially, have your homework in front of you while watching your favourite show. Then, every time a commercial comes on, mute the TV, and work on your homework until that commercial break is over. Not only does this give you some time to work on your homework while watching hockey/TV, but it also gives you a little break. Working on homework non-stop can become really boring and tiring...but knowing that you get to watch the game in about 3 minutes again makes it a little more exciting. It's like you're racing against the clock!

The other nice thing about hockey, is intermission! When each period is over, there is an intermission, which gives you even more time to work on your homework! Don't get sucked into a pattern where you only watch TV and then forget about your homework...be proactive and do both!

Thanks guys :)
