L.A Fitness - Brampton, North

I am uber excited the new gym is opening. I found out that they have a promotion going on if you join before the gym opens. Sorry laseface, I think I will be joining L.A Fitness instead of the Wellness Centre, only because they will be open 24/7 which works better with my schedule.

It's about time to get rid of all this flab! It's show time!

The Library & Procrastinating

I have never realized how much I appreciated the library. I tried to finish my report and prepare notes for exams in my room and I was easily distracted. (A.D.D?)

I just arrived to the library and I got more work done in the last hour than I have done in the past two days. It took me 2 DAYS to finish my part of the report. That is considered to be very sad especially seeing how much work I really had done or could have done in that time.

Once exams are over, I am going to turn my brother's old room into my own office. It is currently being used as a storage room for my mother's orders. I will have to clear it out and move my desk there. I hope I go through with it but my room may end up looking very empty.

I will take a picture of my room now (when it is cleaned up) and hopefully you guys can give me some sugggestions on changes that can or should be done to my room.

Ok time to get back to work.

Bliss High Thighs Slimmer Scrub



This product will be my next review. I purchased this on Thursday and I will keep you readers up to date (within the next month or so) to analyze how effective this product will be. I do have cellulite.. yes as embarassing as it is to admit I do. Please do keep in mind I will be working out while trying out this product to ensure the product will be more effective.

Info on the product:
Use 2 - 3 times weekly to soften my skin's surface, enliven circulation and obtain better looking thighs and bum.
High Thighs Slimmer Scrub


To make it more effective I will be using my cellulite simulator. The simulator must be used in a circular motion that will help smoothen out the bumpy skin/surface.



I will keep you updated.

What has been going on with dimplettez?

I am beginning to stress about exams. I like the idea that I am finishing early BUT they are two days apart. I apologize for not updating my blog. I won't lie, I have been lazy and busy. I promise to do more reviews for you guys once exams are over.

See you guys in 3 weeks!

Birthday present from Sephora




Isn't it generous of Sephora to give me a birthday present? I was quite surprised. I have never recieved a gift from a company before. This gives Sephora a competitive advantage. Giving gifts to their consumers shows appreciation for their customers loyalty. I just wanted to say thanks to Sephora for the birthday gift and I will make sure to inform you fellow bloggers on Sephora's lip gloss products once I pick it up.

Victoria Jackson

I was cleaning my washroom cupboard on Friday and I had found an eyeshadow palette from Victoria Jackson sitting in the back of the cupboard.

Let me tell you the story of how I had purchased this item (and I don't know why I had even considered these purchases).

So my girlfriend Ann and I were on break at work when we decided to go out for lunch that day. As we were getting into the car, this female in the car beside Ann's car began to knock on the car window. I asked Ann if she knew who she was and neither of us knew who she was. I didn't feel comfortable opening the window but I thought perhaps she was lost and needed directions *shrugs. She started asking questions like, "do you ladies wear make up, how often, etc, etc" and she started throwing all of these "free" products that would come along with the eyeshadow palette purchase.

We told her we will look at her products after our break and for her to give us her phone number (which was not difficult for her to give up).

We came back from our break to talk to her and see the products. The products were very iffy, but what had caught our attention were the small "free" items. The palette was a nice "looking" palette but it was not that great of a quality, 'quality'. The 'free' brushes were surprisingly better quality than had expected. The lip gloss 4 colour-package with a travel size lip brush were also 'surprisingly' better quality products as well. The one item that had caught our eyes were the bronzer. It had a built in brush and all you had to do was push down the button once to fresh the brush to apply the bronzer (at this time it only seemed amusing for travelling essentials.)
She was offering this purchase for $45.00


I would like to believe this was an impulse purchase and I do regret wasting that money.

To be honest, I don't remember why we had purchased these items from her. She seemed so disorganized and seemed desperate to make the sale to earn the money from the commission she would get from her sales (which I can relate to). She repeated herself numerous times, telling us that Victoria Jackson was a famous make-up artist and she was launching her line (this is where I should have caught on that this would not be a good product). Why would a famous make-up artist launch a make-up line using sales reps to run around to pitch the sale instead of opening a booth or store to launch their line. Everyone makes mistakes and this one was a big no, no for me.

After this incident, I personally do not even consider looking at products from sales representatives running around the mall to do their sales pitch. It is unprofessional and I should know better that the products will not be good quality.

I have yet touched the eyeshadow palette. The only products I have tried or used are the bronzer, the brushes and the lip gloss.

The bronzer stopped applying nicely after the first few days. The lipgloss is decent but is not as bright as one had hoped.

The only products I use on a weekly basis are the brushes. The bristols are nice and thick and they are decent brushes to use and throw away in a few weeks/months.

Basically I spent $45.00 on cheap'er' brushes.

I do not recommend anyone to purchase from these sales representatives. I do not like the products and honestly they scam you. They will say anything just to get you to buy this. I don't know what we were thinking. I would like to believe that we were running late to go back to work and we it truly was a stupid impluse purchase. It is just plain ol' unprofessional.
