Source: weheartit.com via Connie on Pinterest I’m a little reluctant to say goodbye to summer, aren’t you? I’m savoring every last moment of this Labour Day weekend with Mr. Beauty Nerd + friends in Montreal before we get back into our regular fall groove.

Happy Monday my lovelies! How was your weekend? I had a wonderful weekend – first celebrating Divya’s birthday with dinner + karaoke on Saturday and then spending a day strolling through The Ex at the CNE with Mr. Beauty Nerd on Sunday. This week, I’m rushing to finish up some work before we head off […]

Over the last couple of years, I’ve noticed that my skin dries out extremely easily with foaming cleansers. As a result, I have forgone the foaming types and opted for the cream-based cleansers. Foaming is overrated anyway ;). For summer, however, my usual cream cleansers have proved to be a bit too heavy. Enter Weleda’s […]

A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of interviewing Miss Janette Ewen about her favourite tips + tricks for mastering the carefree, California-girl style. You may recognize Miss Ewen from Inside the Box, which she co-hosts with Ty Pennington. She has been called one of Canada’s ‘leading decor and lifestyle experts.’ Needless to say, […]

Wow, how is it already June? I’m still trying to get all my things in order before my Dad and stepmom flies in for my convocation this coming week. With the gloomy weather today, it’s really not a bad day to get stuff done around the house (trying to convince myself not to procrastinate!:)). If […]

And finding it even harder to reapply your sunscreen every couple of hours to get the proper sun protection? Well I discovered a duo of products that makes it easy peasy to […]

It feels like the middle of summer and we’re still in May! It makes me so happy to see people in their sandals, shorts and sunglasses, enjoying a cold beverage […]

Hope you are all enjoying your long weekend! I know I am! The weather has been so outstanding… Mr. Beauty Nerd and I went for a long bike ride along the waterfront yesterday, which was absolutely amazing. I expect that you are all enjoying the summer outdoors rather than reading blogs, but in case you […]
