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.…

Vancouver to the Canadian Rockies
Driving Route and Trip Planner for the Canadian Rockies Like most people I had big plans for 2020, I had put on my vision board that I was going to go to at least one new country. I was carefully plotting out my vacation days so I could fit in all the travel I had planned. However, like most people my travel plans were cancelled and instead of a beach vacation, the next best thing was a road-trip through the Rockies. Flying still doesn’t feel like a viable option in times like these. Drive Path Our trip was 9 days in total but it could of been shortened. To break…

This is 32
No one has been waiting for it but I am writing it anyways. One year after my break up, surviving COVID times and new beginnings. I did a round up post when I was about to turn thirty, which I just re-read and surprisingly I stand by my advice. I know it is only two years ago, but I really thought it would be cringeworthy. The only thing I would change is aesthetic, my photo skills/retrieving stock photo has improved. Black Lives Matter Around the time of my birthday the black lives matters movement broke out. I felt like it was an inappropriate time to push any of my own…

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…

New Moon Ritual
An easy guide to performing your own new moon ritual and why it is important One of my resolutions in 2019 was to get more personal on my blog. I shared my break up, my struggles with figuring out my career and my uncomfortable dating moments. It only seemed like a natural progression, that I share my shameful and humourous obsessions with astrology, psychics, and tarot card readings. So, I confess that I look up my prospective partners on MyLoveCal, I check my Costars daily and I perform new moon rituals. I get made fun of for it, I believe everything happens for a reason and that things always work…

Staying Healthy in Quarantine
All my tips and tricks to stay active and healthy during COVID-19 Times I was doing barre classes every day, biking anywhere I needed to go and I intermittent fasting so I thought for sure I was nailing my COVID-19 routine. I was wrong, I went to put on my levis shorts from last summer and man were they tight! I think I may have gotten a little too relaxed with my diet and my drinking habits. Whoops! The last few weeks, I have been tightening things up so hopefully, when they let us all out, I will still fit in the majority of my clothes comfortably. Morning Routine Having…

Jamaica – Port Antonio
It is very rare that someone will guess my ethnicity correctly, but if you are new here, my mom is Jamaican and my dad is Canadian. Jamaica has been the location of many family vacations and even though my mom would rather go anywhere else, my dad manages to convince her to go back every four to five years. When people ask me about Jamaica, I am very transparent with them. Jamaica is beautiful, the food is amazing and the people are very friendly, however from the Westcoast the flight is pretty long and for a beach vacation there are places that are way easier to get to. Full disclosure:…

My Top Five Dating Disasters
The wild ride of dating apps and all the entertaining but terribly wrong dates I have been on. My dating journey has been interesting, to say the least. I do have a lot of guilt, somehow when you are in your twenties your friends and family could care less about who you are dating, but once you hit thirty the pressure is on, to put yourself out there and actually make an effort. And when I say effort, I mean effort. Swiping, texting for months, scheduling dates, rescheduling dates, fitting them into your schedule and then doing the whole process all over again. Dating is a full-time job and some…
