Hi Everybody,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I thought it would be fun to have a look back over the past month "According to My iPhone!" (thanks to Jade over at <a href="http://gracious-silhouettes.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Gracious Silhouettes</a> for the series title). I've seen several bloggers do these posts and I always find them so much fun to go through. I'm a huge photography geek and I love the story a picture can tell. How they can capture a distinct moment in time and forever remind you of how you were feeling and where you were that day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
My iPhone goes absolutely everywhere with me and I'm forever whipping it out and snapping pictures (much to the disdain of J). Here are some of my favourites from July.<br />

Well that's everything for the month of July. I hope you enjoyed this post and having a cheeky peek inside my phone. I did post some of these pics to Instagram, so be sure to follow me there for all the lastest and greatest: <a href="http://instagram.com/erinbulger" target="_blank">@erinbulger</a><br />

I have a few "OOTD's" and reviews planned for some upcoming posts, so stay tuned for that!<br />

Hey lovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So it's the end of another month which means it's time for another <a href="http://www.postcrossing.com/" target="_blank">PostCrossing</a> update! Not sure what I mean by <a href="http://www.postcrossing.com/" target="_blank">PostCrossing</a>? Check out <a href="http://erinbulger.blogspot.ca/2013/07/postcrossing-update-1-071213.html" target="_blank">this blog post</a> I wrote last month!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month was a very busy month for my mailbox, with 11 postcards arriving from around the world! So much excitement and smiles. I'm so weird when I pull them out of the mailbox. I try my best not to look at them until I get inside and sit down. Then, I always read the back first before finally looking at the exciting pictures on the front. Is that strange... I sort of think so. But that's how my brain works. You should see me on Christmas morning! Oh man, I drive J crazy with all my rituals and how long it takes me to open things. My stocking alone takes me 1hr to open! Oie vye.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I've started decorating my mantle with all the cards I have been receiving over the past 2 months (my collection is already large!), and I really love how it is turning out. I'll post a picture of what I've done for next month's update post.</div>

I'm back with another "Face of the Day" for you all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This look makeup look started with the eyes. I wanted to use a shadow that I hadn't used in a while. While I do use <b>MAC "Satin Taupe" </b>quite often, I typically only use it in the crease. However, it's really such an amazing all over lid colour! It has the ability to catch the light in such a way that it looks like several different shades all in one! A fantastic multipurpose shade and I would HIGHLY recommend it if you're looking to pick up a MAC eyeshadow. </div>

Inspired by the smokey simplicity of my eyes, I chose to pair this look with a red lip. Normally I would think this lip too dark for summer, but it has been raining all day long (seriously, I'm waiting to see someone float down the street in a boat) and the darkness of this lip made me feel cozy. I have several reds in my collection and today I chose <b>Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss "11"</b></div>

I thought it would be fun to throw in a little "Outfit of the Day" along with this post, so I snapped a few quick pictures while I was at work. Sorry for the quality, iPhones can only do so much. Like I said it was a rainy day, so I went for something cozy. I really LOVE this feather pattern peasant top. I always feel awesome when I wear it. Then just some simple black skinny jeans from AE and black flats.Working girl!</div>

Hey Lovelies,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just thought I'd pop in with a really quick "Face of the Day" post. I really liked how my makeup turned out this morning so I wanted to share! It's a chill day around the house and the boy is at work, so I wanted to keep my makeup really simple. I chose to keep the focus on my eyes and fresh rosy cheeks.</div>

For this look eye look I smudged <b><i>Kat Von D Autograph Pencil in"Napolitano"</i></b> across my upper lash line. I then took <i><b>MAC eyeshadow in "Patina"</b></i> to set the eyeliner and brought that right up into my crease. To deepen my crease I took <i><b>MAC eyeshadow in "Mystery"</b></i> (the same colour I used for my brows) and blended that out. To finish the look I applied a couple coats of <i><b>Maybelline The Falsies Mascara in "Black Drama"</b></i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to keep the rest of my face looking really soft and fresh. To achieve this I used<i style="font-weight: bold;"> CoverGirl Cheekers Blush in "Classic Pink" </i>with a little<i style="font-weight: bold;"> NYC Brozer in "Sunny" </i>to add some colour.<i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i>On my lips I used one of my current favourites, <i style="font-weight: bold;">NARS lipstick in "Catfight". </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how this look came out and it all took less then 10 minutes! Minimal products and minimal time. No complaints there! Standout products for me are definitely the Kat Von D Autograph Pencil and the NARS lipstick.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm dying to pick up and try more of these Kat Von D pencils. The consistency of them is delicious, the way they just glide on with zero pressure. They're so gentle on the eyes and they pack some HUGE colour. There is a peacock blue that I was eyeing on my last visit to Sephora... I think that may be the next addition to my collection. As for the NARS lipstick, this is a colour that I've had in my collection for a long while now and I have only recently picked it up and started using it again. I don't know what ever made me stop. It's the perfect dusty rose nude shade that goes with just about every look. I love that it is a matte so it's got that effortless quality to it that makes it almost look like it could perhaps be your natural lip colour. But the thing that really makes this something special and unlike anything else I have, is the micro gold and silver shimmer that it has to it. It's so finely milled that you can't feel it on your lips, but it causes the lipstick to catch the light is such a stunning way. </div>

Hello lovelies,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So it's Wednesday, middle of the work week. Ugh. They call it hump day for a reason (get yo' minds outta the gutter!... Just me? Oh. Well then...) We're all feeling a little tired and eagerly awaiting the weekend. I don't know about you but I'm feeling a little uninspired. So I did what any normal person does when they're seeking inspiration... I took to Pinterest! <strike>Insert shameless plug here:</strike> Follow my boards at: <a href="http://pinterest.com/erinbulger">http://pinterest.com/erinbulger</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hey everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I wanted to share with you the beautiful postcards I have received this past month. For those of you who missed my <a href="http://erinbulger.blogspot.ca/2013/06/postcrossing-061813.html" target="_blank">PostCrossing</a> post (one too many posts in that sentence), check it out and it'll fill you in. In short I am a member of a postcard exchange program that allows me to connect with people from all over the world. The best part is that I never know where my postcards will be coming from, so checking the mailbox is incredibly thrilling. Picture me running down the hall screaming, "J! This one is from China! Look! Look!"..."Very nice dear." I wanted to share both the front AND the back with you as I think a large part of the fun is seeing what other people have to say and seeing all the cool stamps.</div>

And that is everything I have received over the past month. I strongly urge you all to check out <a href="http://postcrossing.com/">PostCrossing.com</a> and sign up! It's the most amazing thing to be able to connect with people from all over the world. To have the opportunity to learn about different places and the people that make it special. Also great for getting ideas for when you travel! Best part is there are no fees to be part of the program! The only cost to you is the postcard and the stamp!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Now if you'll excuse me I think I hear the mail lady at the door... no seriously I swear I just heard my mailbox lid squeak shut! Like Christmas I tell you!</div>

I hope life has been treating you fine since we last spoke! The sun is shinning and the birds are singing outside my window right now. One of those days that makes you thankful to be alive.</div>

I'm back today to show you dress #2 from my mini fashion haul via <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sweet-Pea-Boutique/263069710431398" target="_blank">Sweet Pea Boutique</a>. This little number is by Spicy Sugar, but for the life of me I can't find a link for it anywhere online! Grrr. So no clue what the name of this one is. This must be a rather indie clothing company, which is always nice. So I've named her myself. Ladies and gents I give you"Minty Freshness". Here she is...</div>

There she is! She's a bit less sassy then <a href="http://erinbulger.blogspot.ca/2013/07/floral-frock-070513.html" target="_blank">"Nottingham"</a> , and definitely more on the soft and feminine side. I will admit, now that I have her home and I've put her on again, I wish she was a bit longer. I'm a tall girl, measuring in at 5'10", so I often find I have this problem. There are so many cute dresses out there in the shops right now, but they're all so bloody short on me! Let's be honest here folks, I'm also carrying some junk in my trunk ... so that combined with my tall frame just increases the shortness of a garment. When I put "Minty Freshness" on in the changing room I thought she was the perfect length... I totally forgot to do the changing room test. You know the one where you walk around, bend over and do a little dance. While she does pass most of the test, she FAILS in the bending over category. It's all good, I'll just make sure to bend my knees and squat down when I want to pick up that Lucky Penny off the street. </div>

Hello my lovelies,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I wanted to share with you one of the new loves in my life. She's a sassy broad, who from first glance seems very sweet and girly. But when you turn your back on her...BAM! she shocks you with sexiness. I'm speaking of course about my new dress from <a href="http://sweetpeaboutique.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Sweet Pea Boutique</a>! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Before<a href="http://erinbulger.blogspot.ca/2013/07/canada-day-camping-adventure-060213.html" target="_blank"> our camping trip</a> last weekend, J and I spent a couple of hours roaming the shops downtown and saying "Hi" to old friends. <a href="http://sweetpeaboutique.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Sweet Pea</a> is on of my favourite stores in the city and I've been really missing it since moving city. There is nothing like it where I live now. So obviously we had to pop in! It was the perfect day too because Joey, the beautiful lady who owns the place, was having a <i>"Buy One, Get One 50% Off"</i>. Oh yeah baby! Seems like every time I pop in there, she's having some sort of sale. No complaints there! So of course I picked up two dresses (thanks to J, he's too nice to me), and this is the first of them:</div>

I love everything about this dress. The cheeky little cut out in the back makes me feel sassy without showing too much skin. The fabric is nice and light so it doesn't feel too warm on a hot summer day (yesterday was 40C! Wowza!), but it also has enough weight to it that you aren't terrified of the wind playing nasty tricks on you. The skirt has that flippyness (it's a word...) that I love giving it lots of movement. I know "Nottingham" and I are going to have some good times this summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Stay tuned for dress #2!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">Questions for me from Lauren:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. If you were only allowed to buy makeup from one brand, what would it be? </span></i></b>It's probably a little sad just how much thought I have been putting in to answering this question. The truth is that there is not one single makeup brand that ticks every box for me... If I had to live with one forever, I would have to choose MAC simply because I enjoy all of their products as a whole. Love their eyeshadows, lipsticks, blushes, powders, etc. Yeah, I'm happy with that choice. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>2. </b><i><b>What's your favourite item from your wardrobe?</b></i> Ummm, I'm sorry but that is another really hard decision! Ha! I love so many of my pieces, they're all special to me for some reason. But after some careful thought I chose my 50's inspired red and black polka dot pin-up-girl dress. This dress is always there for me whenever I want to feel fabulous and rock my feminine curves. I've gotten a lot of use out of her, and we have many miles to go.</span></div>

I'm actually really happy living in 2013 where I feel free to wear, say, and do whatever I want. I am free to be happy in whatever way I choose.

I'm home safe and (most importantly) dry. We had a fantastic weekend camping back in our home province of Nova Scotia. </div>

We left Fredericton rather late around 9pm which meant we didn't arrive in Halifax until about 1:30am. That's alright, nothing a little Coca Cola can't help us with. To say this long weekend was a wet one would be a massive understatement. It freakin' poured almost the whole time we were away and it started on the way there. The fog was so thick that you couldn't see more then 2 feet in front of the car. J called it soup, and that's really the best description of it. So as if that wasn't frightening enough, we then drove into torrential rain that made seeing out the wind shield nearly impossible. We hydro planned several times, eep!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next day we visited with family a bit before heading downtown for lunch (and a bit of shopping which you'll see in another post) at our favourite pub, The Henry House.</div>

I love camping so much! It's been years since I've been though, so I was grinning ear to ear the whole time. To meet me you may not think it would be my thing because I love my makeup and frilly dresses... but I can get down and dirty with the best of 'em. It's a good thing I don't mind getting dirty, because soon after this picture was taken it started to pour! I almost wish I'd timed to see how quickly two grown people can scurry into a small tent. Haha!</div>

The campground we stayed at turned out to be really fantastic! On Saturday night they had a band playing music and shot off fireworks from the dock. That was in addition to the free mussels they serve every night (from a giant pot and you just help yourself)! When the band wasn't playing we would all sit around the fire and sing songs while another camper played guitar. I love how none of us knew each other but we all came together at night to enjoy each others company.</div>

It was a very laid back weekend due to the rain, but that's just fine with me. We didn't get to go swimming but we'll just have to save that for later in the summer. Instead we spent our time enjoying each others company and relaxing round the campfire with beer and new friends. To be honest the sound of rain falling on the tent when you first wake up in the morning, has to be one of the most magical sounds in the whole world. If feel like I should be now singing, "Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens...!" </div>

Unfortunately this is going to be a rather short and sweet (cause I'm just such a sweetie pie already) blog post. I have a list about a mile long of posts I want to write so I have no shortage of ideas. Actually I've been tagged/nominated by two separate bloggers, so those posts are now at the top of my list. However, doesn't it just always seem like when you really want to do something, you never have the time? </div>

My boyfriend (let's call him 'J') and I are gearing up for a camping trip this weekend and I'm so excited! It's a long weekend here in Canada, so we're going to drive back home to Nova Scotia and visit with friends and family (and eat sushi!!!) before heading up the coast of the province to spend Canada Day camping. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In addition to all the work that goes into preparing for a camping trip, I've also got a humungo size order for my jewelry that I have to have finished before we leave tomorrow...and in true Erin fashion I have left the whole thing to the last minute. So I'll be spending the rest of today and probably into tomorrow morning slaving away at my craft table. Tomorrow I have to work and right after my shift we're rolling out of town. Thus leaving me with zero time to write any of the blog posts I have on my agenda (I want to do them proper with pictures I can be proud of). But I didn't want to leave my blog silent for days and days! I LOVE, no correction...I ADORE reading your comments and I would miss you all too much if I didn't pop in today to say "Hello!"</div>

Hello Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There aren't many times in a girl's life that she gets the opportunity to go all out and wear an evening dress. After prom, the opportunities dwindle drastically and we are reduced to staring longingly at all the beautiful gowns in the boutique windows. So you can imagine my excitement when my boyfriend came home from work last month to tell me that his unit was hosting a military ball in June! Sound the horns and break out the happy dance! </div>

Finding a dress wasn't as easy as one would think. It turns out I had just missed the prom dress season, so there were only stragglers left on the racks at my usual boutiques, and even then they were <b>insanely</b> expensive. I gave myself a budget of $200 for my outfit and all the dresses I was seeing in my local shops were $500+. So to the internet I went. I ended up finding this dress on <a href="http://modcloth.com/" target="_blank">ModCloth.com</a> for $74.99! Even with the alterations this dress was well under budget. It's called the <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/receiving-line-dress" target="_blank">"Receiving Line Dress"</a> and I loved how beautiful the navy looked next to his red mess kit. This was my first purchase from ModCloth, and I was<b> beyond </b>impressed with the quality of the garment and their service.</div>

For my accessories I kept it pretty simple choosing to wear only a pair of sparkly chandelier earrings from <a href="http://www.lechateau.com/style/index.jsp" target="_blank">Le Chateau</a> ($22.) for my jewelry (I always wear my Claddagh ring so that doesn't count). My clutch and hair comb are both pieces that I wore to my prom and I still love them now. For my shoes I wore a pair of low black patent leather strappy heels I've had for ages, my dress was so long you couldn't see them anyway.</div>

I was so impressed with how my makeup came out. It seems like every time I try to do something ultra glam for a night out, without fail I screw something up and it never looks like I want it to. Well this time was different. I gave myself plenty of time so that I wouldn't feel rushed or pressured. I took my time and wouldn't you know it, I didn't screw up! Here is what I used:</div>

Some key components to this look for me were the Katy Perry Lashes, the Wet n' Wild palette, and the Revlon Balm Stain. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was my first time using the Katy Perry lashes and I was in love with them at first blink. The "Oh Honey" lashes added the perfect amount of volume and length with out looking like I was clearly wearing falsies. They were very easy to work with and stayed put all night long (I used Duo Lash Glue to adhere them).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To add a little something extra to my makeup look, I smudge some of the royal blue and turquoise shades (right column) from the "Blue Had Me At Hello" palette along the outer corners of my lower lash line. I liked how it tied in with my navy dress by adding a little pop of something special.</div>

I already knew I adored the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains (what a mouth full!) as I have several colours in my stash from before. These things are amazing if you're looking to rock a bright lip but don't want to worry about getting it all over the place (like your partners face) and having to reapply constantly. I picked up the shade called "Lovesick" because I really loved the look of the magenta pink with my navy dress. This stuff stayed put on my lips all night long. All through drinks, dinner, talking and smooches. Hands down a winner that everyone should own.</div>

We had a beautiful evening surrounded by friends, most of whom were new to me. We've only just moved to Fredericton (this is our first posting) so I haven't gotten a chance to meet all of my boyfriend's co-workers. It was so fantastic to share stories and laughs over drinks. He works with so many fantastic people, who have equally fantastic wives (score for me!). </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well long time no see! Sorry for the extended absence. You see my MacBook is broken so I have been doing all my work on my boyfriend's laptop. Well, he had to go away for a couple weeks (he's in the army so this happens often), and of course he brought his laptop with him. So I have been sans computer for a while, surviving on the small screen of my iPhone. Enough excuses, I'm back and plan to post more regularly now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So where did we leave off? Well I guess I'll quickly update you from the last blog post. I had just come back from an interview for a local restaurant I really love. As I have no serving experience it should come as no shock that I didn't get that job. Fooey. Ah well, I was glad to have had the interview experience. Since then though, I did get a job! It's a new shop in our mall that sells a whole bevy of fun and interesting things. Let's put it this way, part of my job is to fly a remote helicopter around. Yup, pretty fun. It's only part-time though, so I am still on the hunt for more hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now onto the point of this post! I have begun <b>PostCrossing</b> again! What is PostCrossing you ask? It is this really amazing website: <a href="http://www.postcrossing.com/" target="_blank">postcrossing.com </a>The goal of the project is to allow people to receive postcards from
all over the world, for free. Well, almost free! The main idea is that: <b>if you send a postcard, you will receive one back</b> from a random Postcrosser from somewhere in the world.So freakin' cool right?</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After scouring the town for postcards (apparently this town isn't touristy, because I went to a million places hunting), I hunkered down at my current go-to café "Read's". They have a really cosy indoor seating area with fluffy armchairs for when the weather is cold, and an outdoor patio for enjoying the sunshine and people watching.</div>

So because I have been a member of <a href="http://www.postcrossing.com/" target="_blank">PostCrossing</a> for so long, I am allowed to send up to 10 postcards at a time. When you first start up, you are allowed to have 5 postcards travelling at any given time. This time the website gave me addresses for members in:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Germany, Belarus, Ukraine, Austria, China, Taiwan, United Kingdom, Spain, Poland and Slovakia.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When they generate the random member's address, they also give you an ID number that is attached to that postcard. This way, when the recipient receives the postcard they register the ID number on the <a href="http://www.postcrossing.com/" target="_blank">PostCrossing</a> website to confirm that the postcard arrived. As soon as they register your card, your address is put into the mix and someone else randomly around the world sends you a postcard! So you never know where the postcards you'll receive are coming from. I swear it's like Christmas everytime you go to your mailbox!</div>

One of the people I sent a postcard to was a baby girl named River in the UK. She is 1yr old, and her mommy is decorating her nursery with all the postcards she receives. How cute is that?!? Love it! That's what I do with my postcards too. You get some pretty cool postcards and they look so pretty in a collage on the wall. </div>

Hey Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you're all having beautiful days! The sun is shinning here so I thought I'd take advantage of the beautiful light and snap an outfit of the day for you. This morning I had an interview for a really amazing and trendy restaurant near my home. I wanted to keep my outfit fresh and simple while still showing off my bubbly personality.</div>

I kept my hair and makeup very simple. I used light purple eyeshadow shades with a slight winged liner to keep with the retro feel of my dress. I topped it all off with a juicy pink lip. For my hair I just ran a curling iron through it to create soft loose curls (and forgot the hairspray so they quickly feel out).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To try and keep myself busy today (I'm feeling like I drank 50 cups of coffee I'm so jittery and nervous) while I wait for the result, I'm going to go do some more thrifting! Woot woot! One of my current favourite shops is having a 50% off sale today. Say what?! Oh yess my friends. </div>

Hey Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I thought it might be fun to post some of the things I'm currently coveting. It will be fun to look back at these posts and see what sorts of things I was into at the time. Our tastes and styles are constantly evolving (we're girls, we're entitled to it!).</div>

I am obsessed with my Naked 1&2 palettes. Urban Decay makes amazing eyeshadows and this palette is no exception. I'd heard so many good things about it on YouTube and got the chance to swatch it in Sephora a couple months back. It's gorgeous and I love that it's nice and compact. The perfect no fuss palette to pop in your purse or overnight bag.</li>

I looove the lip butters I already have and these shades are perfect for Spring/Summer. All three of these shades look amazing and perfect for every occasion. I've link to a blog post by a YouTuber I really love. If you haven't tried Revlon Lip Butters yet, do yourself a favour and pick one up next time you're out. The formula is amazing and the colour pay off is outstanding. You won't be disappointed!</li>
<li><b><a href="http://www.clearlycontacts.ca/ray-ban-5267-2000-black?rsView=1" target="_blank">Ray Ban Glasses:</a></b> Yes I know... hipster glasses. But I LOVE them so! If I have to suffer through having horrible eyesight then I should at least get to take advantage of the accessories! You can't get more classic then Ray Bans.</li>
<li><b><a href="http://www.essie.com/Latest-Collections.aspx" target="_blank">Essie "In the Cab-ana:</a></b> This is from Essie's Resort Collection. It's the perfect shade of tropical ocean blue. I have several Essie shades already, and I'm always thrilled with the formula.</li>

If I'm going to do it, I want to do it right with excellent quality. I love my Nikon D60 but really wish it shot video. This Nikon shoots in 1080p with full-time autofocus. Bonus: it has a screen that flips around front, making it easy to keep things in frame while filming alone.</li>
<li><b><a href="http://www.toms.ca/womens/shoes/wedges/metallic-linen-women-s-strappy-wedges/s" target="_blank">TOMS Wedges:</a></b> I finally bought my first pair of TOMS a month ago and I've never been so impressed. They live up to all the hype. They are seriously the most comfortable shoes I own. I practically live in them and now I want to try a few more. These wedges look like the perfect addition to any summer wardrobe. Plus who doesn't love a purchase that pays it forward. For every pair of TOMS shoes sold, a child in need receives a new pair of shoes. Love it!</li>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So today I thought I'd share with you all my fragrance collection. I watch a lot of YouTubers <span style="font-size: small;">(like a lot...a lot) </span>and I am always so interested when they do collection videos. I love seeing what other people are using and loving. I think a fragrance choice really says something about the person and what their personality is like.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now my collection is nowhere near as huge as some of the ones I've seen. I've only really just begun seriously collection the past year and a bit. But I am really in love with everything I have <span style="font-size: small;">(save one...)</span>. So without further ado let's jump in!</div>

Let's start at the very beginning, <strike>it's a very good place to start</strike> this is the first perfume I ever bought myself. I bought it last April whilst on a family vacation to Bermuda. I knew before we arrived on the island that I wanted to purchase a scent for myself from this perfumery. The company is <span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.bermuda-perfumery.com/" target="_blank">Lili Bermuda</a>, a local perfumery unique to the island. They have been handcrafting perfumes since 1928. </span></div>

I wanted something that would remind me of Bermuda <span style="font-size: small;">(the place my grandfather grew up) </span>and I knew I wanted the highest quality. It took me about 30 mins <span style="font-size: small;">(I left and came back, which is always a good idea when choosing a perfume)<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>to finally <span style="font-size: small;">decide</span> that "Coral<span style="font-size: small;">" <span style="font-size: small;">would be the scent for me. </span></span></span>Here are the notes:</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Last, and</span> <span style="font-size: small;">sort of least is "Cashmere Glow". It's not that it's a <span style="font-size: small;">bad scent, it's just not what I was hoping for. I bought this after having used the lotion version for months. Every<span style="font-size: small;">time I w<span style="font-size: small;">ore the lotion people would comment about how lovely I smelt. So <span style="font-size: small;">I thought it would be a <span style="font-size: small;">great <span style="font-size: small;">idea to pick <span style="font-size: small;">up the body mist! It doesn<span style="font-size: small;">'t smell exactly like the lotion<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: small;">though. <span style="font-size: small;">This
is a bit to cinnamon bun like for me right now. I think perhaps I will
get more enjoyment out of it come fall. Here are the notes:</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"> I'm busying applying for jobs these days and today was no exception. I wanted to wear something feminine and put together looking. Something that would make me feel super confident. It's a gorgeous summer-like day outside so I chose to finally bust out this dress I've been dying to wear. I feel like this dress is begging to have a crinoline skirt popped under it! How cute would that be?!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Searching for a job has been <span style="font-size: small;">incredibly</span> stressful. I absolutely hate handing out resumes. I feel all jittery and awkward. I rehearse what I want to say in my mind a million times before I go in... then after I come out I want to smack my self for all of the things I forgot to mention.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Today I applied to a local restaurant that I really love here in town. Can I just say something (yes, because this is my blog. Muahaha!). It seems praticallly impossible to get into the waitressing business if you have never waitressed before. But how are you supposed to get experience if people will only hire you if you <i>already </i>have experience?! What's the secret? I guess you just have to luck out with an employer who is willing to take a chance on you.</span></div>
