What is a Nunu anyways?

So I've been asked, "What is a Nunu?"
Here's your answer:

Exhibit A











Once upon a time, when yours truly was but a little munchkin, there was a show on tv called Teletubbies. It was a BBC show and I have no idea if it was ever broadcast in North America. It was about these 4 alien babies and their various adventures. The 4 alien babies had a pet robotic vacuum cleaner called 'Nunu', refer to Exhibit A above.
Yes, my name sake is a blue vacuum cleaner with vacant googly eyes, but this thing was the original roomba and that makes it cool.

ok...

Anyways, my high math teacher used to refer to all cute animals/bugs as 'nunus', I spent so much bloody time in that classroom that this term of endearment rubbed off on me and I too begun to call all cute creatures a 'nunu'.
The Pookie found this habit of mine so inanely adorable that he deemed 'Nunu' to be my official nickname.

Alternatively, on Urban Dictionary, a Nunu is defined as:

1. cute or adorable.. noun or adjective
 e.g. hhooo my god, you are such a nunu!! OR arrr that bunny is sooo nunu
2. Referring to one's new love interest
 e.g. I would like you to meet my NuNu, her name is Megan.
3. A woman's vagina,
 e.g. She shaves her nunu bald. Eat my nunu! A girl has a nunu a boy has a willy.
4. Bangla word for penis
 e.g. my nunu hurts
5. n. labia
 e.g. If you don't like it, you can kiss my nunu.

...Um...could we just stick to the first definition?...I don'ts wanna be genitalia!

What's in a name?

I've always wanted a White Scottish Highland Terrier named McMuffin.
Somehow, the "Mc" part got prefixed onto Nunu and hence McNunu.
I like M.A.C., so "McNunu" became "MAC.Nunu".
MAC and Apples...do you see the connection?...
Hence "A MAC a day..."

...PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! I'M NOT CRAZY

Watercolour sky's and Sparkled Beauty's Marcelle Giveaway!

Fellow Canadian beauty blogger b|u3 of A Watercolour Sky is having a Giveaway!!! She's giving away a ton of Marcelle goodies! I've seen Marcelle before, I believe it's a brand available exclusively in select Canadian drugstores. I've heard some good things about the brand, it's hailed as a 'high end' drugstore brand, and I believe Musey has previously reviewed their concealer palette. Read her review here.
I have personally never tried this line, although I've always been very curious about it, and now that I've seen b|u3y's lovely look using their products, I'm even more tempted to try them out!

Van Cleef & Arpels Feerie

Dear Santa,

I has been a good Nunu.



Before today I was unaware that Van Cleef & Arpels were in the business of making perfume, but then again, Paris Hilton makes perfume. Why hasn't anyone approached me to make a Nunu perfume? It'll make you smell like a Nunu!!
According to the official website, it has:

• Top notes: Violet Leaves, Black Currant Buds, and Italian Mandarin.

• Heart notes: Bulgarian Rose, Violet, and Egyptian Jasmine.

• Bottom Notes: Florentine Orris Butter and Haitian Vetiver.

I have no idea what any of those things smell like.
I don't care if it smells like poop, I want it just for the bottle. I love all those extra adjectives they throw into the description, did you know that 'Orris Butter' is just a hyperbole for fats and oils from the dried up root of an iris flower? Adjectives make you smell expensive. And Wikipedia makes Nunu sound smart. xD
If you have $110 to spare you can grab a 1.7oz bottle from Neiman Marcus here.
While you're at it...won't you buy me one too?
