Fun new purchases!

I love this time of year cause there are so many garage sales, antique sales, festivals and craft sales. Here are some goodies I have picked up in the last little while!

I got these on Etsy for my penpals. They came in the mail this week and they are even nicer in person
Circles and Squares Etsy shop

Great Glebe Garage sale goodies! This garage sale is once a year where a whole area of town turns into the most epic flea market you have ever seen. The Glebe is a pretty well off part of town so when rich people want to rid their junk there are usually some pretty awesome finds!. We didn't spend more than 9$ on all this stuff! The 2 stools are goign to be refinished for our lovingroom. And the axe is for a fun DIY project I have been wanting to do for a while now here is a picture to get an idea.
Ours will be painted in a teal colour to match the livingroom

Today we went to Idle Hands craft and vintage sale on Waverly right by our place. They had so much cool stuff! The wall art for the kitchen was made by a really nice lady who had so many cool pieces be sure to check out her blog eufemiabella.blogspot.ca/ . I got amazing smelling Mint Rose bath salts from a small local company opening up a store on Somerset this week purpleurchinsoap.com/. The book is actually a blank notebook made from repurposed old novels! The girl who makes them is on tumblr be sure to go follow her saplingseedling.tumblr.com/ . And lastly a cool little post card for one of my penpals!

Weaves and Mustache Rides


Hey guys! Alright so I ordered me some hair online so that I could do my extentions for the summer. Pretty stoked about the results!


 A lot of you email me about what I use for extensions so here is what goes into fusion extentions:


 Basically it's a heat gun and keratin bonded extentions. Though unless you are a stylist or have a friend who is a hairdresser who will do them for you I would not recommed trying them on your own. They will run you anywhere from $500 to $1000 in a salon and last about 3-4 months if you take care of them and have maintenance sessions halfway through.

If you are going to have a stylist friend do them at home you can get the gun on Ebay for $15 to $45 depending on the brand. And you can buy the hair on Ebay as well but don't buy the cheap stuff aka if there is a listing for 200 bonds for $45 I can pretty much garuntee the hair quality will be shit. You can expect to spend about $100 - $200 on the hair online for decent quality. I use about 200 bonds on my head and have medium thickness hair. 

Hope that helped answer some of your questions! If you have anymore feel free to ask.

If you guys read my blog a lot you know I LOVE Etsy! So I thought I would share my latest fave find on there with you guys! I bought this for my husband last week cause hes on a mustache kick at the moment.


 After I posted this on twitter the seller sold out of them. But she was super sweet and emailed me this morning to tell me she had mad a new batch (yes she makes them all by hand) and they are now listed for you guys to go buy!
