Give Me Back My Five Bucks

Attention Canadians who have been contemplating a Wii! If you’ve been on the fence about getting a Wii, Toys R Us is dropping the price of their Wii this Sunday, Sept. 27th (deal found via. Smart Canucks)! You can buy online or in store. :) Then, once you buy your Wii, I challenge you to a game of Mario Kart!

I’ve upped my RRSP contributions to $200 bi-weekly (from $150) and my TFSA contributions remain steady at $25 bi-weekly. There’s a possibility that I’ll max out my RRSPs this year because it looks like our travel plans are going to be canceled, but I really doubt that I’ll end up doing it.

It’s this awesome FREE website that saves you the hassle of researching and finding the plan that’s best for you, out of all the providers in the country. It’s pretty cool. It estimates the total monthly cost for each plan (including all those … Continue reading →

This is how sensitive I found out my skin is: When I put on my mascara in the morning, I hold the eyelash curler with my lips. It’s just out of habit, so that it’s not freezing cold when I put it to my eyelids. Well I’ve had a slight rash below my bottom lip for the past few weeks, and I’ve been trying to figure out what’s been causing it. And this morning, I got it: it’s where the eyelash curler touches my skin – for all of 10 seconds per day. I should have known better. The metal … Continue reading →
