FreeYourself.

I’m going to be raving about this product non-stop, so let me start by saying this is not sponsored (although I wish it was). Shoutout to the girl at Sephora who suggested OleHenriksen to me because their products are amazing!!! Now I think I’ve gone through at least about 8 bottles of the Sheer Transformation Perfecting Moisturizer, and probably will continue to do so for the rest of my life.…

Summer has officially arrived, which can only mean on thing: BRING ON THE BEACH!!! There is no better feeling than sand on your toes, wind in your hair, and the sun on your skin and if you disagree then we can’t be friends. Being a beach fanatic and all around expert, I thought I’d make a what’s in my beach bag list for you guys.

1. Sunscreen The most obvious and important item on the list.…

10 Best Spots in LA

After recently having gone to LA for the first time, I finally understand the hype. And let me tell you it is NOT underrated. I hope the people that live there appreciate how good they have it, cause it is truly the perfect place to live (seriously like palm trees everywhere). So I thought I’d make a list of the places I loved and you must see for your first time in LA.

1. Sunset Blvd If you want…

1. 80’s inspired 

The decade of inspiration has now shifted to the 80’s, with high waisted baggy fitting jeans, and dramatic shoulders but still cropped at the waist. White booties are still going strong into spring as well. If your parents still have some clothes from this era, I would highly suggest rummaging through it, you’d be surprised how many of those pieces are in style right now.

2. Trench Coats

No longer are trench coats only a part of a lawyer’s wardrobe, but they have officially become a fashion statement. It can be worn as a dress on its own, classic office attire, or apparently even over a swimsuit. I’m here for it.

3. Sneakers

Last year we witnessed the rise of sneakers and this year the trend has only elevated. Its gone from a sleek tennis shoe (think Gucci) to the chunkier the better (think Balenciaga). It is a hard look to pull off if you’re not to street wear, so if you want a less expensive/more wearable option the Nike AirMax 95’s are a classic.

4. Suits

The Hilary Clinton influence is still going strong, women in suits is a POWER LOOK and you better werk it hunny. I mean dresses are cute and all, but opting for a well tailored suit will make you feel like nothing can stop you. If you find the look too business-like, you can go for the blazer dress option – which is still fashion forward but a touch more feminine.

5. The belt bag

aka the fanny pack. Playing on the sporty trend, you’ll see these bags all over social media. Personally, I wouldn’t invest in a designer bag like this because it’s just too trendy and not a investment type of bag. But you can’t deny it has a cool girl vibe to it, especially with the right outfit.

Which one of these trends do you see yourself rocking?

Now there’s facials.. and then there is HydraFacials. They are basically the Beyonce of facials. I’d been seeing them all over the internet lately, and decided to see what all the hype was about it and whether it’s really worth it. I went to Starlight MedSpa (check out their website here), since I had heard a lot of good things about them. Kaye, who was my aesthetician, was so knowledgable that…

As you can tell I’m very much into fitness and working out…….. just kidding I hate it but I force myself to go anyways. My trick is that I like it to use clothes as motivation to actually get up and go to the gym. If I have cute workout clothes then I have an excuse to workout, sounds kind of pathetic now that I’m acknowledging it -_- I’ve tried a lot of different brands and styles as a result,…

If you’re from the 6 like me, then you know nobody here actually calls it the 6 lol, cause that would be kinda weird. You might also know that there is not much to do here. And by not much I mean literally nothing ever at all. Especially when it’s winter and going outside means potentially dying from hypothermia. But then there are the odd days, where you are so tired of only going to work and…

Studies show that 9 out 10 women have damaged hair. I just made that statistic up but I feel like it’s probably true. Most of us have a harmful hair routine; whether you dye, highlight, straighten or curl your hair on a regular basis, it’s not healthy!!! I literally do all of those things all the time so you can just imagine how damaged my hair is. The obvious way to treat this is by getting hair…

I never believed in love at first sight, until I laid my on eyes on this jacket. I was on the hunt for a wool coat that was classic but still unique, and I found it at Zadig and Voltaire.

If you live in Toronto, pop by the…

Well I found the solution to your problem 😀 I have to be honest, I never really believed in “tinted moisturizers” solely because they never have good coverage and have usually disappeared off your face in a couple of hours. And who wants a face product…
