Items

New items to add to my travel kit: tweezers, nail clippers, and cetaphil face and body wash.

The tweezers because there always seems to be that little bit of clean up with my brows that drives me nuts when I'm away from home. 

The clippers because I keep my nails really super short, and it drives me nuts when they start to need a trim.

Neither items are needs; both are wants. Both are inexpensive enough not to matter if I have to ditch them at security. And if having them makes me more comfortable when I travel, why not?

The cetaphil comes in little travel size bottles that are readily available at target and cvs. It's gentle, effective, and works as a face wash and as a body wash.

Keeping Canada Weird, eh?

On a recent trip to Montreal, I could not help but marvel at some of the culture differences. There were a few things that I encountered that made me think, "only in Canada," but in a good way. Canada is wonderful, full of interesting, friendly people, good food, and lots of beautiful architecture. I'm glad it's also just a little weird.

This sign was absolutely perplexing. Apparently, it has
something to do with the fire department. 

Wandering around old Montreal, we stumbled upon this,
being projected onto the side of a building. 

We stood to watch, having no clue what was about to appear. 

Despite the title of the piece, still, we had no idea that this
is what was to come. Because, really. 

There were more than a few adult shops mixed in with the
corner grocery stores, upscale shoe stores, and the like. 

And another. They aren't even subtle. 

There were also two cafes that boast real, live cats
(yes, cats) that wander around the cafe with you.
Ew. 

No smoking, no dogs, no bare feet, no rollerblades, and
no, absolutely no, male strippers. 

That's a new one.
