Hi lovelies! Happy Sunday! Spring is still a full month away, but this weekend has been super sunny and the mountains of snow are beginning to melt. Yesterday I was at work all day, so today I made sure I got outside and went for a nice long walk with Simon. I thought it was a great opportunity to wear…

Julep Orbital Eyeshadow in Zenith
Hi lovelies! Today I’m sharing my thoughts on the Julep Orbital eyeshadow in Zenith. It’s a gorgeous cooper brown packed with gold glitter flecks. The packaging is very chic. I love that it has a built-in mirror! To obtain maximum impact, I find it’s best to apply Zenith by gently tapping it on my eyelid with a brush, while…

NOTD: Mercedes by Julep
Hi friends! I hope you are all having a relaxing holiday season! I received “Mercedes” by Julep as a Christmas gift from my sister, and since I haven’t painted my nails in so long, I was eager to try it. It’s a stunning bronze color full of gorgeous silver flecks. “Mercedes” goes on super glossy and opaque. It’s a great…
Shimmery Winter Eyes
Hi friends! Happy December! I decided to take some extra time to do my eye makeup this morning since it seems lately the only time I get to play with my eyeshadows is on the weekend. I start work very early in the morning so some days I only wear mascara, what a shame! Work has been crazy busy lately,…
Exploring Downtown Toronto
Hi friends! I am currently sitting comfortably on the train on my way home from a lovely and relaxing weekend trip to Toronto. It was much needed after a super busy past few weeks planning our move, and actually moving! It was my second time visiting Toronto. I went for the first time in late August with my girlfriends. While…

We had a really great time!…
