A little shopping
Did everybody in the States have an awesome Black Friday? My cousin Lili definitely did. She said it was madness and she had never been so exhausted in her life, lol. She and her family went to an outlet mall and scored herself quite a few excellent deals. She was updating me on it over the BlackBerry. I got a little restless so I went shopping too. Of course it was just a regular Friday here, and also because I still can’t fit into anything in my old size, I couldn’t get too many things. Sorry I don’t have a whole outfit shot for you because what I’m wearing is utterly boring, basically my uniform these days…a t-shirt and some leggings and a hoodie.
Got a cashmere cardigan/vest and a preppy blazer at the Bay (Canadian department store). Both are pretty accommodating right now in terms of fit. Even the blazer has a bit of stretch in it, but I don’t button it up because of my massive chest (compared to what I had before, hehe).
And the white boots that I bought on eBay a while ago finally came in the mail. I don’t like that the flash made them look so shiny. I like the bows on them.
And these awesome vintage leather boots that I got from this vintage store called CovertCandy Vintage. They are wonderfully soft and worn in, make for totally comfortable walking boots. You guys should definitely check out the store. They have a big selection of vintage goodness.

Holiday Season In-Flight Travel Tips from Paula Begoun
I don’t think it’s a secret to long time readers that I love Paula Begoun, beauty expert, best-selling author and founder of Paula’s Choice, whose beauty product reviews I read and follow religiously. She travels over 100,000 miles every year, sometimes more. From Australia to Korea, Canada, Mexico, Europe, China, and throughout the United States too, over a 12 month period.
People always ask Paula how she looks after her skin during a flight? Here are her Top 5 Flying Tips:
1) It is indeed drier at 35,000 feet, but if you don’t have dry skin it doesn’t really matter. If you have dry skin and you are taking a long flight somewhere you may need to reapply moisturizer or a really good toner (loaded with state of the art ingredients not just water and slip agents).
2) Because of airport security Paula always has samples of products with her. Not every company offers samples of all their products, or even some of their products, but Paula’s Choice.com has samples of all products for you to try and pack in your carry on bag.
3) For long flights over 6 hours Paula travels without makeup. Just before she lands, she does wash up in the bathroom, follows he skin care routine and then applies her makeup. Her skin looks a lot better when she lands.
4) For shorter flights she does wear her makeup, but NO powder, Paula will apply her powder just before she lands, when she is touching up her makeup. This way she doesn’t have anything drying on her face during the flight.
5) A higher altitude in the outdoors does require a higher rated SPF, but in an airplane up in the sky not much UV light is getting through those tiny windows. What you normally wear for sun protection, meaning an SPF 15 or greater will do just fine.
Well, I’m in no shape to do any traveling any time soon. But I can still use her advice. And I just stocked up on some of my favorite Paula products since shipping is only $3 right now, mainly her fabulous BHA lotion, super antioxidant serum, and sunscreen.
Exfoliating 2% BHA Lotion $18.95
Super Antioxidant Concentrate $24.95
Skin Balancing Daily Mattifying Lotion SPF 15 $20.95
Make it bright
That is such a stunning blue dress! Just because the weather’s getting colder, I don’t think we need to stop wearing bright colors.
