One of the world's easiest pick-me-ups is a set of freshly painted nails. With so many colours to choose from, I find myself mesmerized by the rainbow wall of nail polishes at the drugstore.

Here at CA HQ, Thanksgiving has already come and gone, but that doesn't mean we're giving up on all the goodness that is turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce. In fact, since U.S. Thanksgiving is right around the corner, it's kind of appropriate! We're still gorging on leftovers actually, and since we have some cranberry sauce in the fridge, we thought it a good idea to smear it all over our faces....
