Well, since it's the last day I decided to do a post will all the outfits I posted for this year (from January to December). Time flies so fast!! I still can't believe 2013 is ending in a few more hours, even though it wasn't a good year I am proud of myself for doing over fifty outfit posts in one year. Last year I did eight outfit posts and this year I did more than that, which is awesome. I really want to keep this simple and sweet, so I made it extremely short. However, for now I want to wish you the best and for all you to have a blast with your loved ones. 

Wish you all a "Happy New Years Eve"!!

Happy New Year's Eve Everyone!!

With lots of love,

Harija R

2013 is over!!! Yes today is New Years Eve and I can't believe that 2013 is actually over!! To be frank this year hasn't been an amazing year as I hope it to be and sadly it was worst than last year. Once again, just like last year I have no one to blame except me. This year has been a rocky ride with so many ups and downs just as last year by this year I fell even harder but I believe that all the pain it caused is going to help me to be more confident for nest year!! Well here is a quick post of my blog reflection of 2013.

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.

When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.

When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.

When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.

When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.

When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.

When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.

When times are tough, dare to be tougher.

When love hurts you, dare to love again.

When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.

When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.

When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.

When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.

When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.

When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.

Dare to be the best you can –

At all times, Dare to be!”

This morning, I randomly found this quote on one of my magazine and it led me to think about life and where I am leading. To be frank, I am not sure where I am right now in my pathway... I know I am still walking through a pathway looking for something that can lead me to happiness. Even though I smile each day or even cry... these emotions are permanent since I haven't cross the mid point of my lifes journey. Just like me I know there are many you out there with the same emotions and feelings, I know it's hard but just remember with every rain there comes a rainbow and in other words each step or choices we make in life are just small stepping stones that leads to our future. Its long and very tiring but it's a journey that makes tests all our capabilities. Since 2013 is coming to an end, I thought this would be a great quote for each of us to remind ourselves about our achievements and errors we have committed in the past months. So, what do you guys think about the quote and also about your road to success?

Well on that, hope you all have a stunning weekend and enjoy!!

Regards,

Harija Ravi

Hope you all had a great Christmas Eve as well as a great Christmas day!! First of all, I am not Christian however I love this holiday season since it's makes the whole world look beautiful with festive lights and trees. This year, due to the ice storm my fridge wasn't working so I spent most of the afternoon trying to find someone to come in to fix it. At end I did find a person and suprisingly it only took him ten minutes to fix it. Since the fridge wasn't working this year, I decided to place all my food outside in the snow and it was -22C so everyne worked out perfectly fine. Literally, this Christmas has been unique with tons of new holiday memories that I will be passing down to my future generations. Plus, I ended up taking tons of photos of mother nature I will post them in a future post. Well, that's all for today and hope you all have a great Boxing Day!!

Enjoy!! 

Today is Christmas Eve and  I thought I'd take the opportunity to wish you all, Happy Holidays! Right now, I'm currently bombarded with home renovation to replanning my holiday schedule due to the sudden "Ice Storm" that occurred in Ontario. I was on of the lucky few residence in Toronto with electricity, but still the weather hasn't been supportive at all. I tried my best to still converse energy since I don't when I will lose power. Even though, Mother Nature is throwing one hectic temper tantrum in Canada! 

Hope everyone has somewhere safe & warm to stay!

I hope you're all enjoying a wonderful evening with loved ones with warm blanklets, as well as a cup of hot chocolate, cookies, presents, candles, lovely Christmas trees, cosy attires and a warm heart.

Plus, with tons of snow... which I seems to be possible this holiday season!!

Yes, this year I am having a white Christmas!!!

Well, Happy Holidays everyone!

It's officially December and can you believe that year is almost over. Time goes really fast right and also, next week I will only be posting one outfit post for the whole week since it's exams weeks and I need to study. This year I have four final exams and after that I am officially free for the year, until I heard back to school in January. Also, what do you guys think about my new blog layout and also I received tons of questions on twitter on how I learned to do these html layout format. Well, in highschool during my spare time I used to spend my breaks with my highschool's computer science teacher. He taught my friend and me a few tries and tips on how to format and literally play around with them. During on my final project for that course I was able to create anime a movie and he also allowed us to help out with format some of the school's library links. It was fun and now it actually somes in handy, plus I am still learning... I just reently started learning on how to create sliders through youtube. Well, other than that it's officially Friday and exactly one week of December is over and onlye four more to go!! So, guys what's your plan for the month of December and did any of you guys finish gift shopping yet?

It's officially December and I will start off this month with a review instead of an outfit post. It's been a while since I did an official review on any sort of product. I have definitely been busy with life, however today on this special month I am back with a review post. 

On Saturday, I received my Maple VoxBox from Influenster! It was definitely a surprise for myself, I’ve been a member of Influenster for a while, but they only just recently came out with a Canadian VoxBox. That's pretty awesome!! 

GO CANADA GO!!

First of all, Influenster is...“Basically, Influenster is a place for culture junkies to come together and share their unique opinions of products and experiences. Active members of Influenster get exclusive access to deals, promotions, and swag from brands that thrive off the input (the good, the bad, and the ugly -- they just want to know what's up).”Taken from Influenster FAQ.

Want to see what I got in my Maple VoxBox?

(PS. If you looking for some great stocking stuffers... these are some great items)

NYC New York Color Big Bold Curl Mascara

$4.99

The verdict: This was actually a great VoxBox, every single product sample was useful and something I would purchase again. Some things I already knew about, others were a great new discovery. There was also a coupons included!!

What do you think of the goodies I received? If you’re not a member, are you going to sign up?

In the past weeks, I have been complain about school and sadly due to it I haen't been able to sleep. So, to give my tired, sleepless eyes some rest I tend to wear my glasses more and right now I actually have a mark on my nose to prove it. Glasses are definitely LIFE SAVERS during these types of moments in life. Anyways, this time for a change I wanted to quick conduct a review on Firmoo.

Firmoo's look info from their site:

"Firmoo is the world's most popular online eyeglasses store. Vision and Fashion the Frugal Way is the ultimate goal of Firmoo, so it has always committed itself to providing customers with high-quality and fashionable eyewear at the most affordable prices. Years of expertise in optical industry enable firmoo.com to offer varieties of prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses in a frugal way and to be the ultimate fashion events guide. Since the establishment of our company, we have served over 300,000+ customers and now we also have 470,000+ fans on facebook. We have always been committed ourselves to offering customers the best quality products at the most affordable prices, 85%~90% lower than that in the brick-and-mortar optical stores. Moreover, all our glasses are free for first-time customers."

This particular glasses is oval/rectangular in shape and they come in four colors, but still I chose the red and black combo one. The glasses looks mature and cool, while the black outside with red interio. The red color inside the glasses appears unique and attractive. They are extremely different from any pair of glasses I were owned. I love the designs on the side of them, plus the colour blocking trend is actually displayed well.

Also, to all my lovely followers & readers: Firmoo wants to spread their love to others, by offering free glasses to new customers.  Make sure you check out the fine print to see how the program works (and you do have to pay for shipping).  Or if you're a blogger who is interested in reviewing a pair of glasses, they seem really interested in doing that, so get in touch! Overall, I am in love with these glasses and since it midterms right now I tend to be wearing them more often. Plus, after my midterms are done I will be doing a "Wearing Now" post with these glasses so stay tuned for that post.

Check out the website FIRMOO and tell me what your favourite glasses?

So, spread the word to your friends, tell their friends and tell their friends’ friends about this wonderful offer.

Have fun shopping and I hope all of you have a fantastic day!

 FTC: FIRMOO sponsored the glasses and I was not compensated to make this entry and this is 100% my honest opinion.

After a long break, I am finally back with another update post for "My Silver-Metal Teeth" series. This will be my final post with brace since today is the day I will be removing them off permanently.

If you are a new follower, here is a quick recap of my first, second ad third post: (After several years of battling with my parents about getting brace, on September 7th 2011, I finally found the courage and talked myself into getting braces - to read my full experience "My Silver-Metal Teeth").

Can't believe it's almost over and soon I will be able to smile without the metal wiring! Time flew by so fast, well as promised the orthodontist told me that I am final free but as much as I miss have them, I am just glad its all over! Well, today at 10am I will be getting my braces off. Its a long process but I am really excited about it. All the painfully nights and blood-filled mornings.... I can finally say goodbye to them all. Just so excited! 

"This post is my updated post illustrating my happiness of feeling free from the metal wiring"

PS. I am not going to edit this post
(I wrote what I felt at the moment... so if you see any grammar mistake please forgive me)

Take care and wish me luck on my finals!!
