#LAVIEENLOVE

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and love is certainly in the air! And I’m not just talking about the love of a couple, I’m taking about family love, friendship love, pet love… all kinds of love should be celebrated! That is what #lavieenlove is all about! I’m happy to jump on the bandwagon and I decided to show my love for my hubby. We’ve been together for over 7 years now and I still remember the 1st day I laid my eyes on him. It was really his smile that got me – you may think that I sound cheese,…

SALON DEAUVILLE

6 months since I last coloured and cut my hair, needless to say I was in need of help! Luckily, I have some great Facebook friends who shared some of their recommendations and I decided to try out Salon Deauville ! 1st impressions are everything & Deauville surely delivered: great location with parking – check! It’s hard to find a salon with parking nowadays, without scrambling to find a spot or paying more than the price of a haircut (lol, ok a little over-exaggeration but seriously, it’s bad out there). Behind the golden doors it’s a whole other surprise! A stunning open…

PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD

Time to get that dream job chix! If you want it & work hard at it, you should get it – but, 1st impressions are everything and even with the best CV, you can easily ruin your chances if you don’t put your best foot forward. The key is to act professional and look the part from top to bottom. Do your research: what is the dress code, what is the company culture & what kind of image do you want to project? No matter whether you are applying for a corporate job or a creative one, you need to…

WINTER HYDRATION – HEAD TO TOE KIT

It’s no big secret that our skin gets dry in the winter b/c of the change in temperature, especially during icy cold conditions. And of course, stress & pollution don’t help! I have normal skin, but in winter, it’s a whole different ball game. One day I’m perfectly hydrated and the next my face looks like a prune (true story!) I’ve tried many creams out there, and ususally it takes a few applications to see results. That’s until I tried the Hydra-Essentiel Silky Cream (Normal to Dry skin; $46) & The Hydra-Essential Bi-Phase Serum ($56) and I must admit that the…

WEEKEND WEAR

Pom pom hats are my latest fashion obsession for 2 obvious reasons: they keep me warm and of course they’re so darn cute! Pair one with a luxe comfy sherpa vest & denim, and you’re ready for Sunday brunch! This is actually the outfit I wore last Sunday for brunch with my girls. It’s actually been a while since I haven’t seen my girls. I noticed that the older we get, the busier we become and it’s easy to lose touch. But, it’s important to make time and catch up – adds balance and fun to life! :) I love…

PARMA CAFE

Parma Cafe – A little taste of Italy! As soon as my hubby & I entered the resto, we were hit with flashbacks from our Honeymoon in Florence. This charming spot opened just over a month ago in the middle of downtown Montreal (1202 Bishop) and it looks exactly like the little resto/shops we have seen in Italty! They serve amazing home cooked meals such as pizzas, pastas, sandwiches & salads, as well as specialities of the day – all at extremely reasonable prices! Aside from being a restaurant, it acts as a mini grocery store – over the counter…

SUGARBEARHAIR

I have really thin hair that falls out a lot – I literally have a hair brush full of hair after a few weeks of brushing, which is clearly an issue. I’ve been looking for a solution for a while now and I tired all kinds of shampoos & treatments without any luck. Although my hair gets some volume temporarily, nothing seems to provide any kind of long term effect. I heard of SugarBearHair via IG and the reviews were all amazing so I was super excited to give it a try! I got the SugarBearHair Vitamins 3 months pack which…
