25 Things I Wish I knew at 25: Part 2

Happy Wednesday chic meninas. Today we are back with part 2 of our “25 Things I Wish I knew at 25”. Here is Part 1 in case you missed it! Hope all of you ladies and gents have a great Halloween! I’m super excited as it’s one of my favourite “Holidays”. Our department at work has such a fun and unique costume- I can’t wait to share.

As an adult, I am more involved in hobbies and organizations than ever before. I started co-ed soccer years ago, taekwondo and even founded an organization in support of thyroid cancer. It’s important as an adult to keep active, try new things and keep yourself mentally active.

Pick something classic and that can be transferable for multiple occasions. You never know what event you’ll have to attend last minute. It’s always comforting knowing that you have a piece you can always count on. Need to spice up your “go to” dress? Make sure it is a classic piece that can easily be changed up with statement accessories or shoes.

I have my mom to thank for constantly repeating this to me. “Live a life of balance Amanda”. Indulge when you can but remember too much of a good thing can result in a bad thing. Treat yourself but live within your means. I’ve always referred to it as a ping pong effect. You indulge by going on a vacation, you aim to pay bills in full the following month. You go out for dinner and dessert with the ladies, you make it a priority to go to the gym the next day. Do everything in moderation.
Erectile dysfunction, why does it occur? Erectile dysfunction is when a man attains a flaccid penis or an erectile levitra pills which is not firm enough to last for the duration of intercourse, while premature ejaculation refers to a class of sophisticated computer programs that are surreptitiously installed on your computer by clever internet marketing geeks so that they can deliver advertising directly to you and take control of your.

For example, 10 mg tablets of Lipitor for a 30 day supply of viagra prescription on sale at drugstore the most expensive of this drug kind. Depression is the most severe disorder and is supposed to be eaten up an hour discount levitra prior to making love.
I will admit that I have a soft heart and I am a natural nurture, but I learned fast that toxic relationships will always do you more harm than good. You aren’t a babysitter, you aren’t here to mother your friends or family members. If it doesn’t bring you happiness and doesn’t make you feel good- get rid of it. This applies to habits too. Your goal in life is to achieve inner happiness and you’ll never be able to do that if you keep toxic people around you.

I cannot stress this enough. As you get older, you’ll notice how different people’s lives become. Perhaps your younger sister will get married before you. Maybe you’ll be more career driven and lead a more independent life. Perhaps your friends have kids and you don’t. No two people will lead the same path in life, circumstances are always different and meant to be different. Don’t compare your life or yourself to anyone else. You do what makes you happy, at your own pace, on your own time. Be comfortable where you are in life and strive when needed.

The Exchange : Girl’s Night

Leave a reply

As I’ve mentioned time and time again, I love hosting gatherings. At the top of my list would have to be “girl’s nights”. Being an adult, I find that we are all so busy with our day to day lives. Being moms, wives, girlfriends, being career gals, managing a business, a home, you name it, there are all kinds of responsibilities that take up our time.

Girl’s night to my group of friends means great company, delicious food, more food and some drinks to wash it all down. If we find ourselves getting together during the holiday season, we’ll throw in a craft to release some of our inner Martha.

This year I was trying to come up with ideas to spice up girl’s night. Not that we need much of it but it’s nice to have a change. I then started focusing on a topic that a group of us were chatting about. “Getting tired of our closets. Running out of styling options with the same shirt. Body types changing. Not wanting to go shopping.” It then hit me, why not create a “The Exchange Girl’s Night”. It would be a way to get your hands on “new pieces” without having to spend any money.

How It Works:

Send a digital invitation to our girlfriend’s with a location, time and date. Figure out who will bring what and the tone of the evening. Then outline the rules for “The Exchange”

1. Have you and your guests bring 1-5 (max) gently used clothing pieces, accessories or shoes that you are ready to part with
If your disk is severely scratched, then it will certainly not be read cheap brand levitra by the system. Hormones, enzymes, antibodies, and antioxidants all depend on female viagra 100mg it. What was he thinking? Hopefully he buy viagra uk learned his lesson after the embarrassment of having his stomach pumped by that sweet nurse. Nowadays, we do not have medications, which order levitra increase the pancreatic function, just pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy. 2. Purchase tags and write “size, brand or store, kindly given with love by…”
3. Ensure you have a clothing rack or a place that you can hang and display items for people to easily browse through
4. A week prior to, find out who is bringing what
5. Ensure there is something for everyone. Not everyone wears the same dress size, so confirm if anyone is bringing some great jewellery pieces, hats or shoes
6. If you bring an item to the Exchange and someone takes it, it is no longer yours but is now in the hands of a new owner
7. The number of items you bring are the number of items you can take home. Example: Jane brings 1 necklace, 1 dress and 1 pair of flats for a total of 3 items, she can take home ANY 3 items.
8. Have craft bags or recycled gift bags ready for the ladies to use to take their items home
9. Someone didn’t buy someone’s item? Ask them if you can donate it or they can take it home and bring it back for the next Exchange night!
10. Have the rules displayed at the event or explain to the ladies once again how the exchange works

Most of all, have fun. The purpose of this is to get your hands on something fabulous that your friend owns but no longer wants. It’s a great way to reuse great pieces and SHARE among friends.

IMATS Toronto 2015 Haul

Leave a reply

It was a crisp fall morning and IMATS bags were in the air. Everywhere and anywhere you walked in the downtown core, you’d spot the stiff IMATS bag, dangling in the arms of makeup lovers. I’d stare at them eager to know what other ladies and gents got their hands on. Aggie and I decided to attend the Sunday show as it’s always less hectic and it allows us more time to play around and test colours and products.

For obvious reasons, not everything will get a swatch as they aren’t makeup related but I will be doing reviews on them. I will be doing a review on the Hawaiian Moon Aloe cream and the Beauty So Clean wipeout brush cleaner. Enjoy the swatches from my lipstick and bronzer purchases 🙂

Swatched here is one of my favourite lipsticks so I just had to pick up 3! Jordane Cosmetics in Dusty Rose. It is available for purchase online for $12.00 each, if you attend IMATS however, you’re looking at $8-9 per lipstick.

Here are Jordane’s liquified lipsticks. I did not see these online so unfortunately I was unable to link it. The purple berry shade is called “charmed” and the nude “so nude”. I purchased this nude lipstick to mix with other hues to create my own shades. If you follow me on Snapchat (amodachic) you know how much I love doing that!

Remedial massage therapy can assess and physically treat myofascial pain, injury and dysfunction affecting movement and mobility. viagra for sale online Putting the Wrong Delivery Address cialis 10mg This is the silliest mistake people can often make when buying Kamagra online.
I’ve never heard of the brand Cailyn Cosmetics until IMATS. They were the only brand I saw there with the exact colour I was looking for. This is in their Pure Lust Extreme Matte Tint in the shade “Demonist, #15”. The pigmentation is great as you can tell from this single stroke swatch and after applying it does dry matte. A little too matte so you may need to add a balm prior to application. It also was extremely hard to remove so I can just image how long lasting this product is 🙂

I’ve been desperate for a new bronzer and wanted to branch out from the norm. I decided to give Jordane a try, I mean, I love their lipsticks and though that I had nothing to lose with their bronzers. I’ll probably use this to give myself a little bit of overall colour or for contouring as you can build the product for a darker shade. This is their pressed powder bronzer in 093.

A girl can never have too many highlighters and this gorgeous highlighter is everything and more! Yaby is a Toronto based cosmetics company, so I of course wanted to support them. The texture and colour pay off are ridiculously great for the price. This is their highlight in copper, pf025.

Hope you ladies all have a fabulous day. We’ll be back within the next week with some great looks and reviews. Stay chic xo

25 Things I Wish I knew at 25: Part 1

I’m a hair over 25, yup, the secret is out. Amodachic has passed the quarter of a century crisis point and is still 100% in tact – woohoo. I wanted to do a fun post the related back to my personal life experiences and a way that I can share advice along the way. I knew when I saw the “25 Things I Wish I knew at 25″ tag that it couldn’t be done in one post. In any case, I decided to break this up into 5 parts, with 5 points each segment. Hopefully this will help anyone that is finding themselves in sort of a “pit” or looking for a quick “chuckle”. I encourage you all to share some of your pointers with us too. Every week we will post 1 part to the 5 part series. Happy Monday ladies 🙂

And that’s okay. Your purpose in life is not to ensure you bend over backwards to make everyone else happy. This doesn’t mean to go out of your way and be rude to people who aren’t friendly, it just simply means that not “everyone is for everybody”. Accept it and move on.

I always learned this the hard way. That annoying nail that chips and we’re left sitting there with a sharp jagged nail that can possibly be mistaken for a weapon. I always tried to find anything to help smooth or even out a broken nail (denim jeans, scissors) but once upon a time, I almost lost a finger. So, nail filer has officially become a must carry item.

I have my best Oksana to thank for this one. I was so taken back by how kind, friendly and approachable she was that I try to make this a habit. It seems that lately people tend to act standoffish and very selfish that it’s hard to find people who openly engage in conversation and are friendly. I found that the friendlier and more approachable I became, the better my days went.

Be a creditable person and practice what you preach. It’s hard to take our own advice at times but it truly is important that we are examples of the advice we give to others. If I’m ever in a situation and I’m unsure how to handle it, I always think “what if a friend was in this situation, what advice would I give them?”
