ONE TOP TWO OUTFITS

ONE TOP TWO OUTFITS

Classic, minimal, versatile, timeless & comfortable, those 5 words perfectly summarize the type of pieces I’m gravitating towards lately. My closet is getting filled with more neutrals, quality pieces & clothes that I can easily mix & match. I love when I can take one item of clothing and create multiple outfits, which is why I partnered with TOBI to show you how you can take one top and easily create two outfits by simply switching out the bottom from a skirt to short! Mixing and matching is a great way to avoid overpacking while you travel. We might not…

ART WALL

ART WALL

We’ve moved right in the middle of the pandemic and like many of you, we’ve been spending a lot more time at home. Aside from getting to know my new co-worker (my husband), this time has made me realize that I haven’t really given my bedroom much love since we moved to Toronto over two years ago. It must be a renter’s mentality: ‘It’s temporary, so I don’t need to put in the effort’. The truth is, our surroundings have such a big impact on our mental health & well being, and it’s important to think of your place as…

MY WORK FROM HOME UNIFORM & WHY IT SHOULD BE YOURS TOO

MY WORK FROM HOME UNIFORM & WHY IT SHOULD BE YOURS TOO

This is a story about my work from home uniform: why I prefer it over PJs and why you should consider it too! Once upon a time, life has come to a halt and a large amount of people started working from home. At 1st, the idea of getting out of bed a 9am and sinking into our home office chairs with a cup of coffee in hand while wearing PJs seemed like a gift sent from heaven. Now don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love working from home: I’m much more productive (less interruptions and meetings), I can focus…

INVEST IN YOURSELF -SKILLS TO DEVELOP

INVEST IN YOURSELF -SKILLS TO DEVELOP

Invest in yourself! There is simply no better investment out there that will yield higher returns. Now, you might be laughing at my attempt at a Finance-related joke, but in essence, it’s entirely true. Investing in your education, skill set or health are the most important things you can do – no matter how busy you are, you should carve out some time to invest in yourself. 2020 has been a difficult year so far & the job market out there is more competitive than ever before, so if you’re looking to get promoted or if you’re on the hunt…

DOSE JUICE CLEANSE

DOSE JUICE CLEANSE

Over the past couple of years, my eating habits have not been exemplary – I would diet one week and then go back to my unhealthy habits the next – pizza anyone? This year, I decided to kick those bad habits to the curve & change up my lifestyle. I went to see a naturopath & a nutritionist and I slowly started to eat better & exercise regularly. Just when the wind was in my sails, I was losing weight & becoming more fit, Covid-19 happened. As most of you, I experienced the same stress, anxiety & uncertainty. The first…

WORK FROM HOME TIPS

WORK FROM HOME TIPS

During these unprecedented times, many of us are being asked to work from home to help contain the spread of COVID-19 virus. The work-from-home situation can come with potential challenges, but let me ask you this: Do you hate Mondays? How many times have you woken up on a Monday morning hating the fact that the alarm rang at 6:30am, rushing to get ready, enduring a stressful commute, arriving late to the 9am meeting, working non-stop all day (not even a pause to have lunch), skipping from one meeting to another to end the day with more work than you…

SPRING WORK OUTFIT

SPRING WORK OUTFIT

Spring is finally around the corner and I’ve spent a lot of time re-thinking & re-defining my personal style. I’ve been doing some research on Pinterest, creating mood boards and purging my closet. I want my style to be more polished, minimalist & sophisticated. I’m gearing towards investing in quality pieces and well-tailored clothing that I can easily mix and match with my existing wardrobe. Fashion will always have my ear, but I don’t want to follow it blindly. I want to pick and choose from what’s trendy & incorporate pieces in my wardrobe that will withstand the test of…
