September Favourites

Good Girls - This show is hilarious. It's a NBC show but I watched it on Netflix. I am a big fan of Christina Hendricks after finishing Mad Men. Three women in Detroit are friends and each has her own desperate reason to need money. Their solution? Rob a grocery store. The plan seems to be fail-proof until they steal more than they accounted for and they learn there is some gang involvement. The show premise reminds me of Nancy Botwin from Weeds and Walter White from Breaking Bad. Ordinary, seemingly good people face unpleasant circumstances and they turn to the dark side. Chaos ensues.

Sam James Chinatown - It may be the routine more than the coffee, but it is a routine I really enjoy. It's a little bit of peace. It's a treat. Here, I will be honest and say that I'm making more money than I'm used to. It's not a lot of $$/hr but it's a full time job. As a result, I justify this $2.50 to $4.50 expense every morning. I've earned it.

Every morning, I leave home around 8:10AM and walk over to Sam James. My usual order is an Americano in my KeepCup, but I will occasionally get a brew coffee or an almond latte. I then hop on the 8:20AM streetcar and make it into work around 8:45AM. Monday to Friday routine.

Glossier You solid perfume - Everyone has been raving about this perfume and I finally understand why. The scent is hard to describe - there's barely any description of it online. I'm not sure if there are scent notes somewhere. To me, it smells almost like a baby, but in the best possible way. Every time I wear it, I wonder if innocence can be a scent because that's what it smells like to me. Try it, please. I really like it.

*My only qualm was that the packaging for this was so excessive. The solid perfume itself is wonderful. It's small but heavy. That's fine but the hard plastic wrapper, the foam rectangle and elastic band that wraps the small solid perfume is so over the top.

Farmacy Honey Butter lip balm - Admittedly, this was a total impulse purchase but it's been the lip balm I've been gravitating towards. The scent is faint. There's no colour. It's very moisturizing. I believe in all things Asian beauty and skincare products. They can do no wrong.
