How to: Basic Cable TV with no monthly fees

Okay, this product did not work for me.

But it worked for my parent's tenants and also for my older sister - and it was through them that I tried this TV antenna in the first place.

It was a surprise to my older sister & myself that you can buy this $15 Phillips TV antenna from Walmart to get basic channels that you would usually have to pay a monthly fee for through your TV provider













It's easy set up - there's no instructions. Just align the dish somewhat like this - and you can move the antennas around to help you get better signal once it's plugged to your TV



Only one plug involved. Plug it into the cable plug at the back/side of your TV



If you're paying monthly fees to get a few basic channels, get to Walmart (if you're in America) and try out this Phillips antenna. It's worth a try since Walmart has a good return policy.
I seriously wished it had worked for me.
Just thought I would share this since maybe it could help someone :)
Aside: I am away on vacation right now. This is a scheduled post - I'll get back to your comments when I'm back :) Thankss!

Star Wars x adidas Originals – Fall/Winter 2010 Footwear

Star Wars x Adidas just will not stop. It appears as if the collaboration is doing fairly well for the two. Check out the mixes selection of mens/kids that will release this fall/winter.






Jordan Melo M7 Cranberry -- Varsity Red Black

Another little twist for the Carmelo Anthony signature series. It has been known that he likes foamposite/foamposite materials on his kicks. Even though the material used is not actual foam, it is constructed of the same mold of the Jordan "Foamposite" 1 we showed you earlier this month. Carmelo kicks should hit shelves sometime next week for $130.

Air Jordan 2 Black/White – Release Info

The retro 2 is coming to a close for 2010. For the month of Oct we should see over 5 different colors that will release and that should wrap things up for the retro 2. The blk/wht pictures below will release on Oct 23rd for $135. Did you all grab any 2's this year?

Air Jordan Retro XI (11) Cool Grey Official Picture Release Date and Pricing

So just in case you have been living under a rock the past 8 months then you should already know about the cool grey retro 11's. Jordan Brand has officially made Dec 23rd, 2010 the release date and retail will be $175. They will come in a similar box that the space jams dropped in but will have the cool grey touch vs. the black/blue box. So are you grabbing your pair or passing on these???

Review: Dr. Scholl's For Her Rub Relief strips

I picked up this up at Shoppers Drug Mart. It was less than $10 I believe.

These are the instructions - really straight forward.
It's like a tape dispenser with a built in scissor as well.


And this is the type of shoe that it's ideal for - anything that's strappy, to reduce friction

You can even use it on flat shoes - like some flat sandals have straps that hurt like a $%*&!


See the slingbacks in the picture above?
Sometimes the heel strap on my slingbacks actually slip off my heel...because as one sales lady at Aldo said, I have a "shallow heel". Basically, my ankle is fat so it doesn't really have a curve to hold most ankle straps well LOL Um, so if you have the same problem, this tape helps the slingback strap have more grip to your heel :)


The strips are a convenient width and they fit well for my strappy shoes
It's a decent foam cushion that provides comfort



And you just peel the back sticking off and apply.

It's easy to remove too, but at the same time they stick well enough that they haven't come off while clubbing in my heels per say

Have you tried these rub relief strips before?
What do you use to make your uncomfortable shoes more wearable?
Aside: this is a scheduled post I made prior to my vacation. I am away at the moment so I apologize for not being able to get back to your comments quickly

10. Miley Cyrus.

9. Greyson Chance

8. Demi Lovato

7. Williow Smith

6. Nick Jonas

OOTD for Sheesha

Another OOTD
This was to smoke sheesha at Cafe Le Monde earlier this week

Dress from Forever21, handbag from Michael Kors, sandals from Matisse
(haha look at that bruise on the big toe of my left foot! Heels I tell ya)
Sooooo....you know how much I love sheesha after trying it a month ago for 1st time.
Well, I've been trying to convince all my friends who haven't tried it to try it
First victim: Doug




Haha and he LOVED it!
He's taking his other friends for sheesha while I'm away in on vacay.
He's probably at the bar now! (jk)
Oh and I've gotten to know the owner at Cafe Le Monde.
He's such a nice guy once you talk to him :) He even opened up the shop late for Dani, Branko and I to have a drink with him, before they flew back to Europe
I highly recommend this hookah bar if you're around Yonge/Finch
This is a scheduled post since I'm currently away.
So I won't be able to get back to your comments right quickly :(

Review: My Beauty Diary Masks- Black Pearl & White Truffle

I'm baaack!
haha like seriously, who am I kidding? I'm probably stinky and tired on my 15 hour flight right now to Hong Kong for a stop over before I take another 2.5 hour flight to Bangkok



I have a couple of posts I scheduled to publish on my blog while I'm away :)
I'm really sorry I cannot respond to your comments or check out your blog in return right now....but just thought I would give you something to read.
And hopefully blogger format is on my side and the pictures don't publish sideways or crooked since I'm unable to check how it published haha



I bought these My Beauty Diary Masks after reading all the hype on them from Asian bloggers/youtubers.


I picked up the premium White Truffle mask







Problem: the eye cut outs in the premium white truffle mask are too small. The mask sits dangerously close to my eye ball with that mask on.


I also picked up the very raved about Black Pearl mask at the same time.
I purchased both packs from T & T Supermarket




Okay, these eye holes in the mask are bigger. Like seriously, why would this company make the holes smaller for the premium mask? Stupid.




Doesn't this mask remind you of Jason Voorhees' mask?

How to use
Since there's no English instructions on the package, from what I could gather on other websites this is how I used it: I place the mask on clean dry face and let the mask sit for 20 minutes. The mask has serum on it so when I took the mask off, I just let the serum absorb in my skin.
I used one mask every 3-4 days
Overall
I will not be purchasing these masks again.
In fact, I gave away half of each box to my older sister - she would have raved about it to me if she liked it a lot....but I haven't heard her mentioning these masks at all since I gave them to her a couple of months ago.
I noticed no changes at all in my skin texture or appearance.
I actually suspected a bit of a rash starting up from these masks after using them for 4 weeks.
I did not like how they were cold at first on my face. Some people find that refreshing. I don't.




Have you used any face masks that you'd recommend?

Miley filming a commercial in LA

 Miley filming a commercial in LAMiley filming a commercial in Los Angeles on September 16.

There’s also going to be a new episode of Hannah Montana Forever airing on October 3rd called Hannah’s Gonna Get This with special guest star Iyaz, here’s the description.

“After a bad case of writer’s block, Miley finally comes up with a song for the new Hannah Montana album, a tune that gets mixed reactions from her record label. She starts to doubt herself until popular recording artist Iyaz overhears it and wants to record it as a duet. Meanwhile, Jackson and Rico compete over who can grow a better moustache.”

Vacation + Review: Bio Life Oxygen Bleach



Later this evening I'll be heading to airport & on my way to Bangkok Thailand :)


I will not be blogging much while I am on vacation and I will be away a full month.

Back in Toronto Sunday October 24th.

Thank you so much for reading my blog so far ;) I'll keep in touch when I can!
Gosh I miss blogging already haha




A quick review of something that came in handy for me this morning -Bio Life Oxygen Bleach.

I think this is exclusive to Shoppers Drug Mart





















I really like this bleach because

(1) it has no scent (I really do not like how typical bleach smells)

(2) it's a more environmentally friendly household product. Even if you're not too concerned about the environment, it's better for your health so you're not exposing yourself to more harsh household cleaning products

(3) works on coloured fabrics...not just on white fabric

(4) works well to remove stains! Got rid of those red wine stains from drinking too much last night

In fact...the bio life bleach works better than this other stuff I have in my laundry closet





See you! xx



Miley Cyrus in Flowy Dress & Platform Hills at LA

miley
Miley Cyrus was spotted strolling around Los Angeles, California on September 23rd in a flowy dress and tall platform heels. What do you think of Miley’s outfit?

Miley recently posted a video for her “fans” in which she gets defensive about a number of rumors that are flying around about her. We wish if she was going to make a video she would make one really thanking her fans for their support rather than attacking the media

Miley Talks Abt Marraige and Boobjob

Miley Talks Abt Marraige and BoobjobMiley Cyrus has posted a 10-minute video on YouTube ranting about the number of false rumours about her.

The Hannah Montana actress uses the clip to address a series of tabloid reports - including claims she's to tie the knot with Last Song co-star Liam Hemsworth, 20. 'No, I'm not engaged,' says Miley, 17. 'No, I'm not getting married anytime soon.

'Miley doesn't need to do anything but sit and chill and make music that I love, and make art that means something to me. 'I'm way too driven right now... I'm 17! I've got so much work to do. No way.' Miley also tackles reports she's living with Liam and that she's having plastic surgery. 'I'm not living with anybody!' she adds. 'I think that rumour's been going on ever since I got my very first boyfriend ever.

'I live at home...I still live at home with my mum, my dad, my family. No one's here with us!

'And no, I don't want a boob job.'

Miley Declares 'I'm just like y'all!' ‎ Via Youtube

Miley cyrus
Without her Twitter, rumors this summer ran rampant, so finally the raspy voiced teen star filmed a video to set things straight and update her fans on her busy teen life.

Miley introduced fans to her new rescue dog (point 1 for Miley), joked about gaining weight on vacation (point 2 for Miley), and really did her part to come across as a normal teen girl wanting to live a normal teen life, even if that life includes an immaculately decorated, NYC studio apartment-sized shoe closet. It was great to see her acknowledge that she needed to go take a math quiz — even if she was procrastinating said math quiz to make a video. (Miley Cyrus stalling on math homework — I always knew we could be friends.) Of course, Miley proved that after her math, she could stand to brush up on her geography, with her “California is not the most beautiful city in the world” comment.

Rumors Miley debunked in the nearly 10-minute video: She is not engaged (last I heard, she was single), she is not living with a significant other (why move out of your parents’ house when there are huge shoe closets?), and she did not get arrested for driving while on the cell phone. It’s nice knowing that Miley is a law-abiding citizen — other former teen stars have me really worried these days. Topics I wish Miley covered: Which teeth whitening system she uses.

Air Jordan 2 by Vashtie Kola

Ladies... All we are saying is that you can do it too! This is a really dope collaboration and good look for females that are really into the sneaker game. Hell, this is just dope overall that bloggers/local fashion designers get some props with Jordan Brand. Below is a quick shot out from Jordan Brand.

We want to pay homage to the ladies who are rocking Jordan kicks on the daily, and we’ve teamed up with New York-based creative visionary Vashtie Kola to do just that. As an accomplished fashion designer, video director and artist, we knew Vashtie would have a fresh take on the classic Air Jordan 2. A constant trendsetter, Vashtie is one of the best at mixing contrasting styles and representing the fashion forward.
This limited-edition shoe brings a lavender and deep-purple colorway to deliver a more feminine style. The details didn’t go overlooked either, with hints of silver integrated into the laces to complement the metallic midsole. Keep an eye out for its release on October 2nd, and stay tuned over the next few weeks for an inside look at the Holiday 2010 Girls Collection. via Jumpman23
