Where's Waldo (Kristina Edition)

Where the heck have I been?
Answer: My city experienced the worst flooding in it's history. And the aftermath has been devastating. But we have gotten through the worst and now we see how much strength we have. (You can read all about it here http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/alberta-floods-2013/index.html)

Now on to much happier and fun topics. I have decided to start a series called Ins and Outs. Basically things I'm loving and things the make me go banana sandwich.

IN'S

Turquoise - could there be a better color in the history of colors? The answer to that question is no. I have become mildly majorly obsessed with it. I painted my kitchen and bedroom this color, as well as countless home accessories have popped up in this cheery color all around my home.

Bioderma - a "cult favorite" among beauty gurus. It is made of micellar water which until recently was exclusively sold in France. So imagine my elation when I was shopping around my local Shoppers Drug Mart and I saw this little baby just sitting there waiting for me to find him! (I don't know why it's a boy but just go with it okay?) How does this magic work you ask, well, instead of smearing your make-up back onto your face instead of washing it off like water. The micelles (tiny oil molecules suspended in water) actually munch up the make-up like a little PAC-MAN. It makes the end of the days where I am just pooped at the end so much easier to get that pesky make-up off. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING STUFF!

Organizing - hi my name is Kristina and I have OCD! Oh and I am a neat-freak perfectionist. I don't know why but sometimes I get these urges to just all of a sudden go through everything, clean it, and get rid of it if it's not serving a purpose. Well right now is one of those times. And I think that it somehow works out perfectly because there are so many people that have lost everything and really who needs 6 juice jugs? Apparently me, but I have gone through some area's in my house and I have gotten rid of the excess.

Vampire Diaries - oh my golly gosh gee whiz! This show is probably one of my favorites ever. I am totally team Stefan...call me a sucker for a doomed love where everybody is being the bigger person and no one is happy.


OUT'S

Mosquitos - because of all the extra water laying around the place there are so many mosquitos! Taking the baby out for a walk or even just sitting on my patio with my coffee I get like 468 mosquito bites. 1 mosquito bite is 1 mosquito bite 2 many.

Clutter - this out goes hand in hand with my organizing in. Sometimes I feel like my house is falling apart around me and my organization has no structure. This leads to a mini freak-out on my part followed by some obsessive planning and researching on the best organizing ways. Do you ever have those days where you just want to throw everything out? No? Just me. Okay.


Well there is my rambly ins and outs. I find this somehow therapeutic so this is probably going to become a series I do whenever I just want to chat about stuff.

Hugs,
Kristina xoxo
