Hello lovely readers! I’m excited to be writing my first post of 2017! I recently picked up a tube of Essence Get Big! Lashes Triple Black mascara (because I didn’t feel like splurging on L’Oreal). I’m always amazed at how great Essence products are for their low price point, and this mascara is no exception! The brush is huge, and…
Hi friends! I wanted to take the time to wish you all a very happy and blessed New Year 2017. I like to look back on everything I’ve accomplished in the past year before the New Year begins. In 2016, I accomplished my goal of getting a new job and purchasing a house with Simon. I also lost a bit…
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…
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,…
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…
Hello friends! Steph and I drove down to meet Alicia in Upper Canada Village today where we spent the afternoon admiring the monuments and gorgeous views. In the evening, we visited Upper Canada Village’s wicked pumpkin light exhibition called the Pumpkin Inferno. There are thousands of carved pumpkins arranged beautifully in different themed exhibits. We had a really great time!…
Happy Saturday friends! It’s been quite a hectic week for me. Simon and I recently found out that our closing date has moved forward to November 3 instead of December 1. While we are super thrilled, we are also scrambling to get everything ready for our move! This week consisted in a lot of shopping, deciding which insurance providers we…
Hello lovely readers! Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends! It’s a long weekend here and I’m spending it at the cottage with my parents. Coming to the cottage means relaxing, enjoying nature’s beauty and catching up on my sleep! It also gives me a chance to spend time with one of my best friends, Alicia, who lives very close to…
Hello lovelies! Forever 21 nail polishes are a hidden gem. They are super inexpensive and always on trend. This gorgeous polish is an oldie from my collection which doesn’t get enough love. I stumbled across it while sorting out my collection a few weeks ago and decided to showcase it on my blog. Its a pretty baby pink with small…
Hello lovelies! Over the weekend Simon and I went for a nice little trek on a bike path in a woodsy area. We ventured off the path for a bit and almost got lost! The weather at this time of year is my favorite: it’s still enjoyable but cool enough for sweaters. This knit sweater from H&M is very light…
