One day I’m going to take a trip to Finland to experience one of the world’s seven natural wonders, Aurora Borealis.
Imagine being in a rented glass igloo watching bursts of colored light lasting from less than a second to nearly two minutes.
This would make a perfect Christmas trip, surrounded by snow, watching the Northern Lights.
Something else to add to the ever growing bucket list.
My dear friend Nikki lives in Toronto, and because of that we don’t get to see each other as much as I would like. Fortunately for us, technology has helped in communicating by way of videochat.
There have been instances where she would show me how she applied her makeup before work. Since she is a make up guru and my dear friend, I asked her to do a makeup tutorial and was excited when she agreed. I used Too my Faded French & Fabulous palette (bday gift from Toni), and a Revlon lipstick given to me by none other than the guru herself. The following is my new wear to work face.
Too Faded palette
Eye shadow
Blush

I will wear this look for the next week at work.
Thanks Nikki, I love you lots ❤
Today, I hung out with my friend Joanne. Our time together usually consists of us talking about what has happened in our lives since the last time we saw each other (which usually doesn’t last longer than 2 weeks), and how each of us are doing with our bucket list.
About a year ago, we each drafted a list of things we wanted to do, a bucket list so to speak. Except our list doesn’t include things that we will like to do before we die, but each includes things that we want to do in the near future. So far, we’ve been doing well with it, but we still have a lot of things to get to.
Below are some of the items on my list that I am currently working on
1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk
2. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
3. Follow the three Rs: Respect for self, Respect for others, Responsibility for your actions.
4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
6. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
7. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
8. Spend some time alone every day.
9. Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.
10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
11. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.
12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past.
14. Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality.
15. Be gentle with the earth.
16. Once a year, go some place you’ve never been before.
17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
This means everything, thank you Dalai Lama 🙂
