Men’s hockey just won Gold in 3-2 overtime! That brings our medal total to 26. With 14 Gold’s, 7 Silver and 5 Bronze. We came third behind the US and Germany in medal ranking, but we did have the most Gold medals. This was the most Gold medals by any host country ever.
What was your favourite moment of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games? Perhaps it was when Alex Bilodeau won the first gold medal, Joannie Rochette winning that bronze medal for her mother, Jasey Jay Anderson winning the men’s snowboard parallel giant slalom gold medal, Jon Montgomery wining gold for men’s skeleton, Christine Nesbitt winning gold in women’s speed skating, Charles Hamelin winning gold in men’s short track speed skating etc etc etc. Maybe it was the opening game ceremonies, or just the overall “I believe” spirit that was evident in many of the competitions.
I am kind of sad to see the Olympic games end, I have watched more of these ones then any other olympic games, perhaps that they were in Canada, I just felt more connected to it. I can’t imagine being in BC at the time and seeing all the crowds of red mitts in the streets, it must have been an awesome experience for some of us. I thought Jon Montgomery’s win was one of the highlights, he was just soo ecstatic when he won, it was fun to watch.

Physicians Formula is a brand that I really enjoy. I have a lot of their products and find them pretty good. If you don’t know already, they offer many rebate forms on their website, you can try products for free, or get $ off. There is a $5 off rebate form floating around, if you need one, check the trading section of Smart Canucks.
Some products that I like from PF include the light bronzer, wet and dry eyeshadow in baked sands, blushing peach blush, custom strips bronzer/blush/eyeshadow and the bronzer booster in light/medium.
Currently, there is a try me free rebate (that’s a full rebate on price paid) on the Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Mascara Duo (which comes in every eye colour). I haven’t used this myself, but buying a new product for free is pretty cool. These rebates are limited to one per household, so I assume that’s one type per household. For this particular offer here are the details:
1) Purchase any specially marked Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Mascara Duo between 12/01/09 and 11/30/10.
2) Print out and mail this completed form along with the Full Price Rebate label attached to the product and your original sales receipt with purchase price circled.
3) Rebate must be postmarked by December 15th, 2010.
Click here to print out your rebate form and for more information.

Yves Rocher is offering a $5 off $30 code simply enter “SLIM5” at checkout. Shipping is free is you spend $25 or more. The discount expires March 5th 2010.
I honestly prefer Avon over Yves Rocher, but a lot of people swear by Yves Rocher’s product line.
