I don't like dogs.

Never have.

If I were to meet the man of my dreams and he had a pet dog and it was a take-it-or-leave-it deal, I'd actually leave it.

For me, that'd actually be a deal-breaker.

And yet...

When one of my neighbours got a dog, I actually felt sorry for the poor thing.

For one thing, my neighbours aren't exactly the kind of people you'd entrust with...well, anything. They just seem like the sort of people who'd buy a dog on a whim 'cause they thought he looked cute in the store window, but within weeks, they'd get bored of it and would forget to walk it and feed it and whatnot.

Okay. I have no proof of this, but I don't really think all that highly of my neighbours and I'm inclined to believe this to be true.

Anyways, they built this shitty little makeshift doghouse for their new pet, and they pretty much leave it in the backyard all the time.

This morning, after getting back from yoga, I was out in the garden when I heard this rustling noise and noticed the little dog peering at me from the crack between the fence.

It startled me at first, but cautiously, I went over to grab my bag and fished out my camera to snap a picture.



It actually seemed kinda lonely, you know?

I got a little nervous and scared when it started trying to dig its way under the fence and over into my yard, though. I beat a path straight back to the house.

I know.

I'm pathetic.


Got myself a Japonesque powder brush the other day -- I've been obsessed with getting one ever since my makeup artist friend got one.

It's made from squirrel hair and it's so ridiculously soft -- the salesgirl at the specialty beauty store had me close my eyes as she took two different brushes and lightly swept it against my cheeks to see if I could feel any difference.





I've been raving about it ever since...though, if I'm honest here, I actually found the Quo blush brush that I bought today to be pretty soft, too.

When you've got really sensitive skin like mine, it's important to get a really good brush, otherwise you're just aggravating your skin with hard bristles.

Unlike a lot of people I know, I don't like using M.A.C.. Ever since I discovered Cover FX, it's the only product line that I use -- I personally feel like it's better for my skin. I love the fact that the creator of this line was a corrective makeup specialist at Sunnybrook Hospital, who worked with the Chief of Dermatology at the same hospital, Dr. Neil Shear, to develop this line.

Something to check out if you want a product that works well and is totally mineral based.
