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…

Take advantage of COVID sales and check out my holiday shopping guide. Halloween seemed like a wash, then I blinked and it was Remembrance Day, followed by everyone on my social media putting up their Christmas decorations already. Perhaps we are all needing a little bit of cheer in our lives, so starting to dream about the holidays, is a nice break. I put together a few gift ideas for all the loved ones in my life. Gifts for Mom My parents have everything, making it almost impossible to buy for them. I usually try to think of sentimental gifts or things that they would not normally purchase for themselves.…

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions that I am commonly asked about Vancouver, travel, my beauty routine, and where to buy all my essentials. Although I love getting DMs, I thought it may be a useful resource to do a round-up of FAQs just in case some of you are too shy to ask. Of course, I am always happy to elaborate further, and if it didn’t make the list, feel free to send me a message. I am always happy to help, as long as you aren’t trying to get me to join your multi-level marketing business. Where in Vancouver, BC is this swing? Believe it or not, I get this question at least…

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…

Summer Shopping List
I can’t believe that August is just around the corner. 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 for summer 2020, especially because outside adventures seem to be the main source of entertainment right now. My Summer Essentials Hexagonal Flat Lenses A good dupe for the Ray Ban Hexagonal Flat Lenses with a way nicer price tag. These retail for under $20 and they are the perfect summer sunnies. White Bathing Suit I…

Beauty: These are a Few of My Favourite Things
“Seasons change and our love went cold” With the change of the seasons, I have to adjust my daily beauty regime; the winter months bring pale dry dull skin and subdued colours, so hot right? In the fall I had posted my go-to skin products, so I thought I would do a round-up of all the products I am loving this winter. My winter beauty regime requires a little bit more upkeep; I don’t feel like myself unless I have a natural sun-kissed glow and bright radiant complexion (at least that is the goal). A Touch Of Colour I have been experimenting with sunless tanners for the face and I…

Fall Capsule Wardrobe
Summer is my jam. I love sundresses and shorts and maxi dresses; I have way too much clothes for the three to four-month stint that I get once a year. Fall on the other hand is not exactly my preferred season to dress for. I have a love/hate relationship with it. I love all the pretty colours of the changing season, I love hot coffee on a crisp day and knitted sweaters, but I grimace the first day I have to slither back into my jeans after a long summer of sunkissed skin and short shorts. There is more layering involved and fall clothes are more function than fashion. It…

Skin Care: These are a Few of My Favourite Things
I usually try to stick with the same beauty regime, especially when I find products that work for my skin. I only switch things up if there is a change in the season, or my skin has gotten “used” to a certain product. A while ago I put together a list of the products that I found worked well for my daily routine, some of them I still cycle through but I do like to change things up and try new products so I put together an updated list of all the products that I am loving right now. I picked my top five choices and included how I use…
