Camera broken – but found some older photos!

Posted on November 25, 2010December 21, 2014 by Elaine

I’m back!  Well, sort of – I was on vacation with my husband in sunny Jamaica!   We had a fabulous time and enjoyed much needed downtime.  But a week away from the blogging world and I feel like I’ve missed out on so much!   I apologize if I haven’t been able to visit and comment on all your blogs but I pretty much just skimmed through as many as I could these past few days.

If you follow me on twitter you may know that while I was on vacation my camera broke!!   It was old and it’s done a great job but finally it just gave up.  My dad has generously offered to loan me his camera in the meantime but I won’t be able to pick it up until the weekend.

Luckily I had taken some pictures of purchases I had previously made.

I’ve been looking for a leather jacket for a while now but could never find one that I absolutely loved and at the right price.

I walked into Danier Leather and headed straight to the back of the store where I knew the good deals would be.   All the jackets were organized according to size which made it so easy for me to shop!

I ended up with not one but TWO leather jackets at great prices:

 Danier Leather Motorcycle Jacket in Grey Suede size 2XS $89.99!!!!
 ^sleeves cuffed up^
Danier Leather Blazer size 2XS
$99.99!!!!
AND the following weekend I passed by the store and they were having a 20% off everything in the store sale.  I mentioned to the manager that I just bought two jackets last week and she credited me back 20% of the value in gift cards!
I was super excited about these deals.  I haven’t been shopping lately since we splurged on our vacation and the only items I’ve been buying are for gifts – mostly for all the kiddies in my life 🙂
To my American friends have a very Happy Thanksgiving Weekend and I will live vicariously through you and your black Friday shopping adventures.

    I love the first jacket on you! I’ve been on the lookout for some sort of fitted or moto jacket similar to that too, and what a great price for suede. Hope you enjoyed Jamaica… were you able to take any pics before the camera broke?

    Welcome back and I bet there is a huge contrast between the weather from Jamaica and in Canada. =0P I love your jacket finds! The leather jacket has a marvelous metallic finish; I’m sure it will keep you warm!

    yay!!! so glad you’re back from Jamaica!!

    I really love that first jacket on you. I’m a sucker for suede as I love the soft feel of the fabric against your skin. both of these jackets fit you beautifully and you got them for a great price too!

    Did you get to take any pics in Jamaica before your camera broke? It would be such a shame if you didn’t! I love that first jacket on you! The details are so gorgeous and it fits you perfectly 🙂

    Wow, Jamaica! It sounds amazing, hopefully your camera didn’t break before you got a chance to take some great pics. I’ve never heard of Danier, but I’ll def check them out now. Welcome back!

    @Cee – I think I just want a point and shoot so I’m thinking about the Canon S95. We do have a DSLR but it’s my husband’s work camera so half the time it’s not around for me to use anyway. I just want something I can carry around with me easily too!

LOL UM HELLO I’VE STOPPED GROWING! -_- Ahh. Oh well, I plan on splurging on a new one soon, in the right size 3XS!

Celebrating our best boy’s birthday with a custom Celebrating our best boy’s birthday with a custom sensitive-tummy-approved cake from @jujulet! Cause life’s too short not to mark special occasions 🐶❤️🎂 

I can’t believe @guster_dog is already 6! 😭❤️❤️

The cake is made of pumpkin, sweet potato, spinach, and carrot. The “frosting” is potato cream mixed with natural colorings. Gluten-free and lactose-free with lots of healthy veggies means Guster can enjoy his special treat and we don’t have to worry about his health. 🥳

The cake is truly a work of art, and - as you can see - Guster definitely approves of the taste! He ate the sculpture of himself so fast that we didn’t even catch it on camera! 🙈

Would you get a cake for your pet?

It’s an indulgence to be sure, but one I would 10/10 recommend for special occasions. 

Have you tried this type of treatment?

Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted Hi! 👋🏼 I’m still here! I’m sorry I haven’t posted much. I’m finding it a bit hard, tbh. 🫤

I’m figuring out what the next phase of #TorontoBeautyReviews looks like and healing from an injury, while my 9-5 has lately been more like 7-7, so I’m filling my off hours with family, dance, food, and books. Finding joy and peace where I can in an intense world. ❤️

I still try out lots of products and I do occasionally paint my face 🙃. I’m just not as interested in the grind of daily posts just for the sake of staying relevant anymore. Which has meant that I’m not on as many PR lists as I used to be. Which means that I don’t have as much new stuff to review. It’s a cycle. 

Things are shifting, which is tough sometimes. But it’s ok - so am I. 😊

A longer video, because there’s a lot to talk abou A longer video, because there’s a lot to talk about here. 🫤 I’ll be reaching out to the company in question to make them aware of the situation, but I wanted to share it with you all as well. 

How is this type of thing still happening, even in the age of AI? If a high-tech “smart tool” can’t properly recognize and accommodate diverse skin tones, then it needs further development and should not yet be released. End of story. 

Use your purchasing power to support brands that are inclusive in their product development, testing, promotion, AND corporate structure. Every action has impact.
