So I was hanging out in Vancouver this weekend enjoying our balmy November weather, wearing my favourite new balmy November jacket.
Watch this video and you’ll understand. And seriously, the Helena jacket is my new favourite, I think four of us in the office have it! It's waterproof, warm and awesome.

As many of you know, most likely from the barrage of moustached males walking the streets these days, it's Movember! A time when our favourite fellas spend the month of November growing funny facial hair to raise funds and awareness for men's health issues, specifically prostate cancer. It's a great cause that the team here at Orb (and our brother brand Arson) care a lot about. And this cause is not just for the boys. As a lady lacking the ability to grow a dapper 'stache, there are plenty of other ways to get involved in the cause. Along with donating money to the "Mo Bros" in your life or starting a Movember team with your group of friends or co-workers, why not dazzle up your digits with some expertly polished moustache decals? A sure-fire conversation starter, when someone asks you about your fantastic nails you can chat them up about the cause and help raise awareness. Check out these awesome nail art tutorials for tips and ideas, then get polishing!

My very awesome, very stiff new boots. (and yes, I totally recycle post-its...)
So while I refuse to sleep in my new boots to break them in (one friend’s suggestion), I am wearing them right now. As I type. At work.
Totally normal, right? How else am I going to break them in before the mountain opens? Plus they keep my toes toasty!
Do you guys have any pre-season rituals? Fresh wax? New socks?
