In hairdresser speak my hair is naturally a level two or three, which in layman’s terms means almost black. I basically came in asking for every hairstylist’s nightmare, a dark-haired person requesting to leave the salon with their hair lifted to Kim Kardashian/Draco Malfoy blonde. Check out my Pinterest board to see my inspiration for my hair. It took me almost a whole year to get my hair to the colour that I wanted and the maintenance to keep it from getting brassy is intense.

My Secret to Long Lashes
My Eyelash Journey I had never had my lashes done before but I was headed off on a few beach vacations last winter, my girlfriends and I decided to get lash extensions so we could have effortless lashes on our trip.

Wedding Guest Looks
It is wedding season. This year we only have one wedding to attend but I have quite a few friends who recently got engaged so I have a feeling that next year is going to be a busy one. I really struggle with wedding guest looks because usually, the “it colour” of the season ends up being the colour of most bridesmaid dresses.

AND of course the most important rule, avoid white and anything that may photograph as white; steer clear of grey, silver, really pale pinks, you don’t…

Anti-Aging: Cosmetic Procedures to Consider in Your 20s & 30s
I used to have very limiting views on plastic surgery; I believed treatments were reserved for the rich and famous. It seemed superficial to be overly concerned with your appearance and aging was just a inevitable passage in life. In recent years, cosmetic procedures have become more common place in my life. My dad, who pays $5 to get his hair cut splurged on laser treatments for his rum nose and my mom routinely goes for chemical peels. Even within my own circle of friends, we are compare notes on the procedures we endure to keep us looking our best and to take proper care of our skin. Before I dive right into…
