Poor nails

My nails have always been weak and they break easily.  Any tips for getting stronger, healthier nails?

My dream kitchen

If I had my very own house, this is the kitchen I would have:

The colour inspiration

Crossing my fingers for this exact mixer as my university graduation present!

The cabinets



The countertops


Movie review: The King's Speech

Yesterday I went out for dinner at White Spot (my fav!) with my friend J, followed by some quality Lululemon time :D Let's just say that girl is insane...I will definitely be finding a way to pay it forward : ) Here's a good story: J used to babysit me! She found me on facebook and when she was working in NYC I went down with a friend to visit her.  After Lululemon I headed over to the movie theatre in Coquitlam to see The King's Speech with my friend C.  It was incredible.  Amazing.  I want to see it again! The acting was incredible...if Colin Firth doesn't win an Oscar for this I will throw a hissy fit.  The cast was amazing...Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter, Jennifer Ehle (Elizabeth Bennett in the BBC Pride and Prejudice), the two guys who play Dumbledore & Wormtail in the Harry Potter movies, and the guy who played Mr. Collins in the BBC Pride & Prejudice.  So good!

New Year's Resolutions??

Maybe, maybe not.  Regardless of what you call them, here are a few things I'm hoping will find their way into 2011:


  • Drink more water.  I drink waaay too much juice.  I could never give it up completely, especially in the mornings, but I definitely need to drink more water.  I dislike the taste of plain water, so I'll buy some lemons to put in it.
  • Go to the gym at least three times a week, plus ice skating on Sundays (free at the campus arena!).  I'd like to tone up a bit!
  • Spend less money on eating out.
  • Space school work out by doing a little bit every day.
  • Eat better and cook bigger meals on the weekends so I don't have to cook so much during the week.
Hmm...that's all I can think of for now!

Lululemon indecision!

Today I went out for coffee with a friend by Coquitlam Center and decided to exchange the green Lululemon hoodie I bought for the black packpack. The pack I have now has had it and I love the Lulu one, of course :D

I heart fashion!

Hi my name is Darcy and I'm addicted to Lululemon

I seriously have ZERO willpower when it comes to Lululemon.  I went out for brunch at my all-time favourite breakfast place, De Dutch with my friend and former co-worker, Elinor.  Afterwards I wanted to pick up some eye makeup remover from Cranberry Lane so we headed over there, and then we decided to nip over to Coquitlam Center.  I originally set out to get MAC bronzer, but we ended up parking by the entrance that's right beside the Lululemon...and Elinor dragged me in! Totally against my will.  Le sigh...I walked out of there with this hoodie in cactus/lime, a black sports bra (on sale, actually quite cheap!) and a black non-slip headband.  My only consolation is that Elinor spent way more than I did haha.  All in all it was a great day with one of my favourite people. 

Tomorrow I'm going into Coquitlam again for coffee with my friend Erin, and then I'm carrying on to Burnaby to go out for yam fries and to check out the Metrotown Lululemon with my friend Jen.  I've told her she's not allowed to let me spend any more money at Lulu! Maybe I should give her all my cards to hold on to, just to be safe :P
