My Journey through Canada

Toronto Skyline

Maid of the Mist Niagara Falls

Last month I was fortunate enough to take a road trip through Ontario and Quebec in Canada.  I filmed my entire trip (see the first video above), and you can follow my journey on my YouTube vlog channel From Sassi Who Lived It. 


We travelled to Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Toronto, the Toronto Islands, Montréal, Levis, Quebec City,Parc de la Chute-Montmorency and Sherbrooke.  If you ever get the chance, Canada is definitely a must-see country.  The people are friendly, there are modern cities seeped in history, there are stunning natural wonders, and the whole experience is breathtaking!


Here are some memories from this vacation:

Manoir Montmorency

Home Made Spring Rolls

Canadian Candy Apples

Seagull - Toronto Islands

Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal

Flowers in Montréal

Cruising in Niagara-on-the-Lake

Birchbox August 2011: Smashbox

I definitely enjoyed the August Birchbox more than I did the July Cynthia Rowley July Birchbox.


The only perplexing thing is that fact that this Birchbox was themed as "beauty innovations", but I didn't find any of that in my Birchbox!

August 2011 Birchbox

Ouidad Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel

Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer

Twistband Hair Tie

Shaveworks The Cool Fix

June Jacobs Papaya Purifying Enzyme Masque

I look forward to trying the June Jacobs Papaya mask, as well as the Ouidad hair gel and the Shaveworks soothing lotion.  The hair tie, however, was rather mystifying - nothing innovative or futuristic there.  In fact, it looked rather like some elastic I pulled out of my workout shorts a few weeks ago!

The August 2011 Birchbox:

June Jacobs - Papaya Purifying Enzyme Masque

Ouidad - Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel

Shaveworks - The Cool Fix

Smashbox Cosmetics - Photo Finish Foundation Primer
