Stuff I'm Stoked On Sunday...

Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog

Hey!.. how was your weekend!?.  what did you get up to?.. We had some drinkies with friends at the house on Friday night... a little early bday celebration for Christopickle... then yesterday some pre birthday shopping... and lots of movies yesterday evening... today I was out getting my driving on with old neib A... after the four of us had breakfast at Saskatoon Berry Farm A and I headed to Southcentre... then to Supastore... then home again home again jiggity jig...  If you've never been down to Saskatoon Berry Farm head there!.. not just for plants... but for their food... all I can say is OM NOM NOM NOM NOM...


Their quiche... to die for... We've made a pact to start going to the Saskatoon Berry Farm every second Sunday for breakfast... unless a hangover is involved... then the breakfast place of choice will be the Blackfoot Truck Stop... no jokes... go there too...


The Chai?.. I was expecting it to taste artificial... it was also to die for... and the cup was massive!.. definitely worth ordering...

The weather was quite lame this morning... but this afternoon had gotten rather sunny... thought it's still really cold out...  My afternoon has been full of laundry and vacuuming!.. and some playing with my new iPhone 4S!.. I FINALLY UPGRADED!.. I was willing to hold out a few months more... but my Christopickle convinced me to do it now...  it was worth it... the phone blows the 3GS out of the water!.. Prepare for photos galore!.. this beauty takes beauty shots!..

I was thinking... as I am seeing it all over the place... about starting to post... on Sunday's about things that I'm stoked about... I have three beauty products that I'm super stoked on lately so I thought I'd share those today...

The first... Clinique even better clinical dark spot corrector... after I have a blemish... ugh I hate the word zit... it was hard to even type that... barf... let's just say blemish... anyway... after all is said and done with said blemishes I'm more often than not left with some hyper pigmentation... aka scarring... Clinique's even better clinical dark spot corrector is awesome at speeding up the time it takes for the dark spots to fade... 


Use it twice a day... make sure you apply sunscreen after... Clinique has a sunscreen moisturizer that goes nicely with this product... It's very nice and further helps to lighten dark spots... you should be wearing sunscreen anyway... this leads me into my second fave product lately... BB Cream... I was hoping to get my hands on the Clinique BB Cream... but it's not available yet in Canada... So I'm currently trying out the Smashbox BB Cream... 


There are a few different brands of these available in North America now... apparently BB Creams have been in use in Asia for years... they were developed in Germany for use after laser treatments to help heal the treated skin... Different companies Creams claim to do different things... Smashbox's cream claims to Prime, Perfect, Hydrates, Protects and Control Oil... it comes in a few shades... I'm using the lightest... it gives nice light coverage... and some additional moisture... as well as a nice SPF... I wasn't sure about it a few days into using it but the more I've been using it the more I've been liking how it makes my skin look...  

My third favourite beauty thing right now... NeoStrata Anti Dark Circle Complex... I have darky under eyes... always have... I've been getting plenty of sleep lately... so I figured I'd give this a try... it's supposed to take 5 weeks to see the max results... I'm not the greatest with patience... but if it works then WHOOT!..


I've not done a pile of research on this one... I asked the sales lady what product would work best... and this is what she brought me...  It smells really nice...  So I'm stoked on this one to date as it seems to be helping already... I'll keep you posted on how it works out... 

Have you used any of these products?  What experience have you had with them?

Oh and there is another thing that I've been soaked on the past day and a half... now that I have the iPhone 4S... much better camera situation than the 3GS... so I've started to use Instagram... I'm stoked about Instagram!.. Here are a few shots... 


...taken this morning at Saskatoon Berry Farm...


...Milo boy sitting in the sink today looking sweet...


...doughnut from Jelly Modern Doughnuts... taken months ago... you can edit your old photos or take new and edit those!..

Are you using Instagram?..  Do you love it?.. I'm lovin it so far!.. check me out!.. just search laceyhaskell... hope to see you on there!..

Now... the dryer is singing my song!.. time to pack away the laundry and grab some Zzz's... I'm hoping to get a little sleep in so I can wake up later to catch YouTube coverage of Avicii at Coachella... It's supposed to be a bonkers show... ;)
