Easy ways to save money on your vacation

One of the best things I did in my 20's was travel with my husband! Thankfully the beach was one of our passions so we had a lot of fun in Jamaica (multiple times), Cuba, Dominican Republic and Bahamas. I can admit that if it wasn't for these tips we would never have saved as much money as we did.  FYI if you missed my Four Tips to Help you Plan your Next Island Vacation post... get on it.

Let me explain......

Four Tips to Help you Plan your Next Island Vacation

Often times people leave from the comfort of their home for vacation, honeymoon or just to get away. These trips can be stressful, if you have never been to a certain location before.

I love traveling and I'm lucky to have a partner that feels the same!
These tips will help you take advantage of the good points about travel and prepare you for your trip.

THE BEST OF ME Movie

I love movies!
It's the perfect way to get away from reality and float new somewhere new (for at least 2 hours).
I also love a great love story! 

Coming to the theatres soon is a movie called THE BEST OF ME. 
It’s based on the bestselling novel by Nicholas Sparks and follows two former high school sweethearts, who find themselves reunited after 20 years apart. 
Check out the trailer:


Doesn't it look good?

IMATS Toronto 2013 (Image Heavy)

Another IMATS Toronto has come and gone. This year was a little different for me. Oddly, I feel that I have everything I needed. With the wedding coming up, I'm limiting my spending.

IMATS something that you must go to. Especially, when the event was at The Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Just a GO Train away! 

I usually go to IMATS see new products coming out, watch the seminars and see special FX makeup. My list was super small. I know.. all I wanted was  A solid soap for my brushes.. YUP! that's it.

Since my list was so small, I went a little later than usual. 
Check out images from that day:









Last shot was instagrammed after the art was done.
Doesn't it look amazing!

Did you go to IMATS?

Canadian National Exhibition

It's that time again! 
The Ex always reminds me that summer is almost over. 
Every year, I take the Go train and check out the attractions & events at CNE. 
Check out some great shots I took this year!
Can you believe that this was made out of sand! 
I played the Birthday game and I won!
How effortless does he look up there!
I was so scared watching him.
The attraction rides!
I had to check out the shopping section!
So many deals!
 This week visit the CNE for only $5 after 5 PM on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings both weeks of the CNE excluding Labour Day Monday.

I love going on trips to USA to shop! Buffalo, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey are my favourites. I go for the deals but now a new outlet mall in Toronto is giving me a reason to stay!
