Goddess of .. Snail Mail is the Best Kind of Mail !

And Bloggers are the Best Kind of People !

Seriously.

I got some wonderful snail mail yesterday regarding

Suz's Starbucks giftcard giveaway which I won on Dec. 18th.

Mark your calendars people, that was a great day :o)

I can't believe how lucky I am.

I started reading blogs and blogging in March 2009 and already, I've won 2 giveaways.

The first one being my "Cherry Blossom Girl" print

from a giveaway hosted by JKLdesign & Miss Lizzy Marie.

Anywho, just wanted to thank you, Suz !

The card was very sweet and I loved getting snail mail :o)

I'll be heading to Starbucks this weekend to enjoy some lattes.

Everyone head over to Suz's "30 before 30 List" blog .. you will love it :o)

Goddess of .. What to wear to the New Moon Premiere !

Because I like tall, dark, handsome men.
Because I like it hot.
Because I always root for the underdog.

I am on Team Jacob !

Because grey is my favorite neutral.
Because sequins bring out the best in people.
Because movies wouldn't be the same if you didn't sneak in a Starbucks.
Because fall is here and it's getting chilly out, a girl needs a good sweater/cardigan.
Because love, passion and blood are red hot.

Twilight - New Moon Premiere by AritzaGoddess featuring Juicy Couture

Items in this set:

Ashish sweater, $815

By Malene Birger cardigan, $225

Juicy Couture sweater, $200

Cafepress.com t shirt, $22

Forever21 top, $20

I would pick one of those three outfits to wear to the premiere of New Moon !

I saw the movie on sunday night with Lolita .. and totally fell in love with the story. I had been resistant from the beginning because I'm not a fan of sci-fi / unreal stories .. and did not even see Twilight (i know, i know .. shame on me!) or read the books.

Rest assured, I am now totally on board and might even consider picking up a copy of the third book.. just. for. the. love. triangle. story!

Goddess of .. Where In The World Wednesday - Volume 1 !

The lovely Jessica @ Classy in Philly started a new feature today :

the Where In The World wednesdays !
(click to see Jessica's destination)

"Basically, each week I will post a new picture of me in some place I've traveled to (or if not me, a photo I took at a place I traveled to).

If a lot of people participate, it will be a fun way to see where some of our favorite bloggers have traveled! It doesn't have to be recent, it doesn't have to be somewhere foreign or tropical. Just anywhere you consider traveling!"

I think this is a really fun idea and I love to travel .. so I have lots of pictures I wanna share with you guys !

Today's feature : This picture was taken at the end of March 2009 when I was visiting Lolita (which could explain why I'm holding two Starbucks..) in Ottawa for the weekend, back when she lived there to study for a year. Of course, when I look at it now I think we should've take a proper picture of the Totem pole from the front  (and not the side!).. but anywowzer. It's me. It's Ottawa. It's traveling. Right ?

Me and a Totem Pole near the Byward Market

in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Also, I promise more exciting destinations in the weeks to come but right now, I had to take a picture that was on facebook because I'm at work :o) ... " Hi Boss! "

Goddess of .. Uncomfortable chairs & back aches

Again, my back hurts from this damn chair at work. It seems my chair is too big for the desk I have and because of the arm rests, I can't bring it close enough to the desk. Consequently, I'm always sitting on the edge of my seat and it causes discomfort in my back !
Anyhow, I don't work for the pleasure of sitting in a comfortable chair, otherwise, I'd work as a professionnal latte drinker sitting @ Starbucks' all day !



P.S. Can someone crack my back !??
