Save 50% at The Body Shop (Dec 17-19)

Yet another sale at The Body Shop, just in time for those last minute Christmas shoppers! This time, you buy a red bag for $5 and you can save 50% off everything you can fit inside! There isn't any fine print on whether or not skin care products are excluded, but I have a feeling it might be. Definitely worth checking out since The Body Shop items are great as gifts. You might even be able to use your Groupon with this purchase too! Remember you can get an SPC discount here ($5 off $20), as well as the Love Your Body discount (10% off).

Free Quatchi Plushies, Dec 17-19 (Lower Mainland Only)

The Olympic Merchandise Warehouses in Vancouver and Burnaby are offering a free 13.5 inch Quatchi plush toys with red mittens this week! Limit one per person (no family limit), while supplies last. These medium sized Quatchi's are very popular, so go earlier if you plan on getting one. This is most likely the last giveaway they will have as I believe they are shutting down for Christmas and won't open back up until the New Year.

The two locations are at 8410 Ontario St in Vancouver and 6741 Cariboo Rd in Burnaby.

More information on the warehouse locations and hours, go here.

Tron Legacy

I went to an advanced screening of Tron: Legacy tonight! I've never seen the original movie so I didn't really know what to expect, and the trailers I watched left me confused still haha. The movie is a sequel to Tron and stars Garrett Hedlund as Sam, Kevin Flynn's son. Jeff Bridges reprises his role as Kevin Flynn. The story picks up with Kevin's friend, Alan Bradley, telling Sam that his father paged him and gives him the keys to the abandoned Flynn's Arcade. Sam finds a secret room behind the Tron arcade game and gets transported into the digital world that his father created, The Grid. There, he finds his father and they set out to go back home. Of course, it's not easy, but I won't spoil it for you!

The movie was in 3D, which is so bothersome because I wear glasses when I watch movies, and there didn't seem to be too many 3D effects. The majority of the movie took place in The Grid so it was a digital world, full of lights, which was kind of cool! Lots of special effects which makes it a worthwhile movie to see in theatres, especially with the booming music on surround sound. I would recommend the movie to any Tron fan, though I was a bit impartial to it, but I do think it's a decent movie.

Tron comes out in theatres on Friday, December 17th. For more information, go here.

Update on Contest Wins!

It's been a while since I posted any of my contest wins, but it's also because I haven't really been entering anything. I've been so busy with work and I get home so late that I just haven't had time. But I thought I'd update on some of the things I've won in the past few months, to give you a little inspiration to keep entering those contests!

4th Generation 8gb iPod Touch

Blackberry Curve with 6 months service

The Disappearance of Alice Creed on Blu-Ray

Toy Story 3 Blu-Ray & DVD Combo Pack

These are the more interesting things I've won. I also received a pair of tickets to the Sara Bareilles concert last month (pictures to come very soon!) and a Whistler Blackcomb lift ticket. The most recent win was a pair of tickets to the Dead Mau5 concert in Toronto, but I'm giving those away for obvious reasons haha.

Also just got back from Korea last week - my biggest win, from the Samsung Mob!lers program. I'll post about that soon as well!
