Everything you need to make the most of the summer season. Summer is by far my favourite season, it is no secret that I live for the beach. Most weekends I spend the majority of my time outside working on my tan. As a seasoned summer lover, I did a round-up of all my essentials, especially because outside adventures seem to be the main source of entertainment right now. My Summer Essentials Hexagonal Flat Lens Sunglasses A good dupe for the Ray-Ban Hexagonal Flat Lenses with a way nicer price tag. These retail for under $20, are super compact and are polarized! I keep these in my purse for afternoons…

Home Tour – My Living Room
The coziest room in my home, after my bedroom, of course. A look into my bohemian-inspired living room. This is typical of me, but after I finished decorating my living room, all I kept thinking is how nice it would be to have been if I had gone with an all-white theme and stuck with neutral colours. I know, so annoying. I can never make up my mind. I think I am too messy for a white couch though. I am the first to admit that I tend to go for design over function, but for a living room, I really wanted it to be comfortable, functional, and have a…

No Make-Up Look
I have been trying to ditch the makeup, purely out of laziness. Like most people, working from home has created an endless routine of sports bras, messy buns, and no makeup. When I have to leave the house, I really have to push myself to get ready. I hate the feeling of removing mascara from my eyelashes at the end of the day or looking in the mirror, only to discover that crusty crumbs of my mascara are now dusting my undereyes. Determining which occassions garner a prepped face was becoming very challening. I decided that a scaled back, low maintenance routine was needed. Don’t get me wrong, I love…

How to Build a Skincare Routine
Beyond cleanser, toner, and moisturizer, what other active ingredients do you need for your skin? A Complete Guide on How to build a day and nighttime skincare regime. My skincare routine consists of buying whatever fad products are in the market and then waiting for them to die out. JLo has me fully convinced there is a fountain of youth and I know it is not filled with olive oil. My approach has been mostly trial and error, but I do get quite a few questions on my Instagram about my skincare routine and I have really been limping through it. I took it upon myself to scour the internet…

My Boho Inspired Master Bedroom
My favourite neutrals, budget-friendly tips, and all the things that make my bedroom cosy. When I first moved into my place it was the opposite of relaxing, there were so many different paint colours and window treatments, it wasn’t speaking to my aesthetic. Over the years, I have been slowly chipping away at making upgrades. Switching out my queen for a king was a pretty bold move for my small space. It also meant finding bedside tables that would allow the switch. To accommodate my growing wardrobe, I had to add in a PAX wardrobe. A drastic closet edit is probably needed, since I have way too many clothes and…

One-Step Hair Dryer – Revlon Vs Hot Tools
I reviewed styling brushes so you don’t have to! I was recently in Whistler with my girlfriends and they were hyping the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer Hot Air Brush. I couldn’t believe that they all had this brush and I had never even heard of it. The product is supposed to help you create a salon-style blowout at home. Since I only wash my hair every couple of days, getting long-lasting results from my blow out is something that makes my life a lot easier. Hot Tools Professional One-Step Blowout Styler I immediately went to London Drugs to get the brush but unfortunately, they only had a Hot…

Home Office Decor Ideas
I am revealing how I maximized my small space to accommodate a home office set up Working from home is nothing new for me. I have been primarily a remote worker since 2017. Although a home office can have its perks, I got used to having the occasional work from home day and spending the majority of my time in the office. It was nice to have the separation between home and work. With everything that is going on in the world, it is not surprise that I am now confined to working from home. The first few weeks, I took over my dining table but it really is a…
