HOW TO BEAT THOSE WINTER BLUES

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,…

MIXING PRINTS AND PATTERNS

MIXING PRINTS AND PATTERNS

Why is everyone so be scared of mixing prints & patterns ? Stipes & plaid blend so nicely together, it would be a crime to not give this combo a go! Don’t worry, you’ll still look professional and polished at work. You will stand out, but in the best possible way! I paired the look with a camel jacket (a timeless classic) and gave it a little bit of street credit with an embroidered miliary bag, a red bootie & a beanie. When it comes to mixing prints & patterns, there are a few rules to follow, but once mastered,…

RESORT WEAR WITH REITMANS

RESORT WEAR WITH REITMANS

The winter has been tenecious so far. It’s only January and I’m already considering escaping to a sunny destination & thinking about resort wear! For those who have been following me for some time now, you know how much I love travelling and discovering new places. So, whenever I get a chance to take a vacation, I instantly start checking for travel deals. I’m actually checking Expedia as we speak…#notkidding. Even though I like to explore, I’m also a beach bum. I love going down south to Mexico or Punta Cana for a week just to relax & recharge my…

SKINCARE & MAKEUP ROUTINE

SKINCARE & MAKEUP ROUTINE

In this New Year, I decided to try some new additions to my skincare & makeup routine! Ok, that’s not completely true, I adopted these products a month ago, so that I could begin to see some results before I reported them to you!  Here are my thoughts:  1- Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair: Never go to sleep without washing your face, removing your makeup and applying a serum. Mark my words! Skin naturally renews at night, which means that it absorbes whatever is on the surface. So what do you rather your skin to absorb: old makeup clogging pores or…

RESOLUTIONS

RESOLUTIONS

It’s that time of the year again where we reflect back on 2017 & we come up with resolutions for 2018. Same thing, different year? I surely hope not! I’m gonna be honest with you guys, I never end up keeping my resolutions. Usually, they last for a few days and I go back to my old ways. So, I’ve been thinking about why that is recently. I came up with a simple conclusion: my goals were always unrealistic and not specific enough. Can someone actually lose 20 lbs in one month and how? Well, I guess if you starve…

ARTIS BRUSHES

ARTIS BRUSHES

When I heard that the Artis brushes were finally hitting the Canadian market, I was beyond ecstatic to try them out! And, they surely did not disappoint! First and foremost, I think it’s important to mention that the fibres are 100% Animal Free! They’re actually made of CosmeFibre®. I tried out the brushes to apply foundation and concealer, and I found them to be super soft. The results of the application were smooth, even & uniform – absolutely flawless!!! Not a single patch of foundation showing. Honestly, artist worthy results, if I may say (did I just call myself an artist?…
