Mcdonald’s – Free Coffee (Nov 15 to 28, 2010)
It’s no secret that Canadians love their coffee! A recent survey conducted by Ipsos-Reid on behalf of McDonald’s Canada revealed that 9 out of 10 Canadians drink at least one cup of coffee a day, with most drinking on average 3 cups a day. This is the second week of free coffee from Mcdonald’s – from now until November 28, 2010, customers will be able to enjoy a free cup of McDonald’s Premium Roast Coffee at absolutely no charge – any time of day – with no purchase necessary.
Lippmann Collection – Boom Boom Pow
Last winter, Modern Mix Vancouver featured Lippmann Collection’s Marquee Moon, a glittery, silver nailpolish color reminiscent of a disco ball crossed with holiday tinsel. This year, just in time for the 2010 holiday season, try out Boom Boom Pow, a luxurious nail lacquer with an explosion of glimmering 24-karat gold flecks! A little bit too flashy for everyday wear, but perfect for a fashionable winter party. It’s apparently inspired by Kate Moss, but I think the Black Eyed Peas may have been an inspiration as well! Boom Boom Pow and other nailpolish in the Lippmann collection retail for $24 at Murale at Oakridge Centre and are “big three free” of Toluene, Formaldehyde and Dibutyl Phthalate.
