updates

Yesterday my bf bought me a new canon camera, and I absolutely love it! It takes amazing pictures. My other canon camera was good too but its a little bit outdated.

nail polish review

lose weight this winter

I was just taking a break from studying when I came across this wonderful articlehttp://ca.shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/lose-instead-gain-weight-winter-article-hqbv.htmlit has great tips, it suggests that you should not only shovel your own snow, but even neighbors if you plan to burn even more calories. Also instead of wasting time cleaning your car and warming it up to go to the gym, why not just run/walk outside instead? That way you don't have to waste time and gas.Oh and there's a great motivational quote"There is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothi...
