Literally blushing – 2 months before the wedding – pressure at it’s highest. And of course being a Working Chix, life is super hectic so triple stress when combined with work & blog! I recently watched a video (HERE) that if you change the way you think about stress, it will change how your body responds to stress. Apparently, if you think that stress is your body’s way of preparing you to meet the challenge, your blood vessels will stay relaxed instead of constricting. Basically, they will behave in the same way as when you feel courage. Thinking that stress is helpful…
Long work days call for unforgettable 5@7s! Located at the edge of Old Port, Marche des Éclusiers is a haven from the city noise – right on the water. The serene atmosphere really surprised me, even though the media event was swarming with people, I truly felt like I was outside of the city. Two floors of local small business owners offering a “genuine farm-to-table experience” of well sourced foods from organic drinks to fair-trade coffee! My personal favorites were: pulled pork burgers from Diablos BBQ Smokehouse and coffee with homemade cookies from Volcanic Organic! We’ve all heard of the…
Comfy perfection! Can’t decide whether I was drawn to this dress b/c of it’s lightweight fabric, beautiful color & cut or b/c I have Greece on my mind b/c of the Honeymoon…..hmmm I choose all of the above! :P I know, it’s ridiculous, the trip is months away but I can’t help but start thinking of what I will bring with me. I am the type of person who will prep her luggage two weeks ahead of time and re-pack it like 10 times in between, lol…even though I know worse (coughMERIEM) but yeah I’m pretty bad, especially compared to my…
Hidden gem in Decarie Square! Modelo Salon & Spa is owned & managed by the well known & celebrated hairstylist Sofia Karambela! Give this lady a pair of scissors and she will work her magic! And of course, she has an amazing team of professionals at her disposal. Ruth (colourist extraordinaire) gave me that perfect blond I’ve been looking for years! Not to mention that the salon provides tons of beauty services: hair, makeup, nails & a day spa – all in one stop! When asked why the salon hasn’t moved, Sofia rightfully said: “Where else can you find free parking…
This blouse makes me dream of my upcoming Honeymoon – can’t wait!!! We’re going to Italy & Greece :) My life has been really hectic these past few weeks – work, blog & wedding planning is in full swing and I’ve been a little overwhelmed but also very excited! I’ve also been working out for the past 3 months and I can finally say that I lost 20lbs!!! This was my goal, and I’m just soo thrilled to have finally met it!!! Yep, I’ve been hibernating during the winter, what can I say? But, enough about me – how about…
Best.Shampoo.Ever! Here’s the deal-O: I wash my hair pretty much every day b/c its super thin & gets greasy fast. But washing hair so often dries out the scalp so I’ve been having a sort of love/hate type of relationship with lots of shampoos I tired. Yes, they provided volume but at the cost of dry scalp – but then I discovered this NIUCOCO trio and I must say I am impressed! NIUCOCO Hydrating shampoo: Finally something that really works! As the name says, it hydrates the hair & scalp!!! I washed my hair everyday for two weeks and no signs…
Obsessed! Distressed white jeans – I live in these. And how perfect is this electric blue jacket with them?! I cannot get enough of this outfit; on trend and soooooo comfy; both the jacket and the denim are ultra stretchy! Wore this outfit for a night out with my family last weekend and wayyy too many sushi pieces later, I was really thankful for the comfort, lol! Also, this jacket will come in handy this Summer in this always unpredictable Montreal weather. Like how is it possible that we need to take out Fall coats in June right after a…
