Mother’s Day – it’s more than a date on the calendar, it’s a celebration of unconditional love, selflessness & devotion. It’s the late nights & early mornings, it’s the life lessons, it’s the comfort in times of need, it’s the shoulder to cry on, it’s the support when faced with challenges, it’s the memories & the endless laughs. That is what this day represents to me, that and a million more things that I am grateful to my mom for. Therefore each year, I find an activity or a special gift that I know she will appreciate that will show…

When I travel, I like to travel in style! My family & close friends live in Montreal so I often travel between Toronto & Montreal, sometimes for a weekend getaway and sometimes for a week. Since I work from home now, if I decide to stay for the week, I need to pack all the essentials: laptop, charger, portable mouse & keyboard, clothes, shoes, and other personal effects. I end up taking 5 different bags to fit my entire life and it typically requires multiple trips to the car! After going through the motions a couple of times, I decided…
My Coolsculpting experience The best outfit a woman can wear is confidence. When you dress yourself in confidence, you walk taller, you speak louder & you live life happier! This confidence comes from self-esteem, when you love yourself inside & out. In order to achieve this balance, you need to perform self-care that encompasses body, mind & soul. If you don’t feel good in your skin, you need to dig deep into the root of the problem and give yourself permission to change & do something about it. For me, that came in the form of taking care of my…
