I've been sporting a new look this past week. Dave and Clare too. We've been going to work and school all glammed up with tiny pieces of dainty silver glitter on our faces and outfits.
No, it's not a new fashionable holiday trend or a case of a family craft night gone bad. Let me explain.
It started a few weeks ago at Halloween. Grace and her boyfriend Devon dressed up as the Impossible Dream, the Maple Leafs hoisting the Stanley Cup. Devon was wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs Jersey and Grace was wearing a cute silver party dress she bought off a cheap online retailer. Here is a picture of them with the Toronto skyline in the background.
A few days later, Grace came home for a dentist appointment, and like a typical teenager, dumped all her laundry on the floor. After she left, I put on my hazmat suit and swept her room for suspicious substances, dirty clothes and garbage, then loaded the laundry machine with some towels and her clothes, including the glittery silver Stanley Cup dress.
You can guess the rest. When I went to fold our laundry, all the towels and clothes were covered in little grey sparkles and we've all been very glittery ever since.
We'd been styled by a cheap party dress and a dryer.
The reactions at work were priceless. People looked at me with a slightly bewildered look and asked if I had done something to my make-up. My friend Peggy said I looked like an angel. It resulted in a few laughs to brighten up the early dreary days of November.
The holiday season is soon upon us. This week's #HappyAct is to add some glitter and glam to your life.
