Rest peacefully, Whitney Houston.

Everyone falls in love sometime,
Sometimes it’s wrong, and sometimes it’s right.
For every win, someone must fail,
But there comes a point when
When we exhale.
- Whitney Houston “Exhale”

Last week I documented all the small purchases I make daily that help get me points to fly out west. I stayed true to my regular purchasing habits, and it’s funny to look back and see how it can highlight all the fun things I did that week. It was also surprisingly tricky to remember to document it all.

Here are some highlights:

Nail polish removers pads. Amazing for tossing in your purse.

Birthday beers and shots for my coworker at lunch.

Celebration champagne for my man and I’s 1st year anniversary.

My entire beauty regime, all in one Instagram.

Snowy cab at 7AM to set up for Ladies Learning Code.

Snowy Cab at 8PM after cleaning up after Ladies Learning Code.

The only way to top off a week. Greasy tasty brunch, with mimosas of course.

Now it’s my turn to treat you to a few small things! Tweet or comment with a little thing you always buy, and I will choose a random winner to win a $50 Visa Gift Card on January 26th.

CONGRATS TO @vvitalisa!

Back when we had it so easy
I would surrender, completely.

Well, the lineup has been announced, I already snagged my tickets months ago, so all that’s left is hoarding my Visa Avion points to pay for my flight out to Indio for my favourite week of the year, Coachella. Last year was amazing, and I’m even more excited for this year with Radiohead, my favourite band ever, as one of the headliners. Plus, a little hip hop throwback with Snoop and Dre and many of the other amazing bands.

It was perfect timing when Visa approached me asking me to spend $50 on little things every day, for 5 days, to help work towards my final point goal of a free flight. I do this on a daily basis to avoid debit fees anyway, and every dollar counts for points!

Over the next 5 days I will be documenting the weird little things I buy on a daily basis through my blog, twitter, tumblr, Facebook or Instagram. Think of it like a “what’s in your purse”, but only my weirdo daily purchase habits. Don’t judge!

Once I am done, I will be rewarding one of you with a $50 Visa gift card as a thanks for following along. Follow the hashtag #visaeveryday to see!

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I’d done
And I don’t wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know.

Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough
I don’t know why
Keep making me laugh
Let’s go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime.

It’s that time of year again. You know, the one where you finally see your coworkers out of work hours and well, drunk. Here is a handy guide to let you know just how drunk you are allowed to get at your party… Keg stands are for the cogs!

Listen now can we talk in love and walk the town
Be easy now, go hiking through the hills in a summer gown
Raise the kids, peace within and make our sound.
