LIFE IN TORONTO – A MONTREALER’S PERSPECTIVE

I wanted to write a sequel to my previous article about life in Toronto, because it’s impossible to cover everything in one post without making it too long to digest! So, here is part 2 of my adventures and learnings about this city! A place to call home You probably heard about the real estate market in Toronto, but seeing is believing. I refused to think that I needed to pay double of my mortgage in Montreal to cover rent in Toronto. But, I had my standards: I wanted 2 bedrooms and I wanted to be close to downtown &…

COLORISTA

Photo credit: IG @anastasia.dudka.photo I’ve been wanting to try out a cool hair colour lately, but I’ve been too afraid. In fact, I’ve always been like that with my hair. My natural hair color is a dark blonde/light brunette, and for the longest time I wanted to go light blonde. Since I was so afraid, my 1st attempt was a major fail: I asked the colorist to give me very subtle blonde highlights and she politely obliged, but that meant the color did not show one bit. The second time, I got a lot more brave and I did blonde…

THE GREEN COAT – DARE TO WEAR

So apparently the 1st day of Spring has come and gone, and it’s still ‘Frozen’ out there (no green in sight, wink wink)! But, I’ve been trying to pull out my Spring coats nevertheless, including this green stunner from Vero Moda that I recently bought at Bestsellers in Carrefour Laval. SS18′ is all about color: Lavender, Pink, Yellow, Blue, Green, Red – the more you pop, the more trendy you shall be! I cannot even begin to tell you how many compliments I have received on this coat. In fact, when my mom saw it, she got mad at me…

HOW TO BEAT THOSE WINTER BLUES

Seems like everyone I speak to lately is feeling some sort of winter blues, including myself. It’s been an exceptionally cold and snow-filled winter here in Montreal and I think everyone just had about enough. Admit it, all you really want to do is crawl into a little ball and hibernate until the temperatures are above 10°C. I’ve been trying multiple things to get over those winter blues, and here is what worked for me: 1- Exercise: I know, you’re busy and don’t have time right? When you wake up in the morning, you’re EXHAUSTED, right? Well so am I,…
