Gotta look good!
I received the best colour and cut of my life when I was in Lisbon, Portugal. Despite the language barrier, we were able to communicate and I received exactly what I asked for.
It made me realize that my hairdresser at home maybe wasn’t all I thought she was. Maybe I had become complacent going to her for so long that I never even realized how unsatisfied I was until I was forced to try someone new and it made me remove my rose coloured glasses.
Vancouver is a great place to live if you like to shop.
There are amazing boutiques, fabulous department stores, and one of the most expensive retail shopping strips in Canada (Robson Street) – all within a few blocks of each other.
With so much selection throughout the city, I often find myself frequenting the same stores out of pure habit, one of them being WINNERS.
When I mention I regularly shop at WINNERS, people often respond with, “I can never find anything there,” or, “How do you do it? It’s so unorganized”.
I have a few guilty pleasures I like to indulge in.
Chocolate, red wine, trashy television, ’90s playlists and makeup. Oh boy, do I ever like my makeup.
Like many people in this day and age, I am a contributor to the every growing beauty market. A market so large that it is estimated to reach $265 billion in 2017.
Recently, I’ve received many compliments on this hairstyle but sadly, I can’t take credit for it. Well, I can take credit for doing it, but not for creating it.
I, like so many hairstyle-inept individuals, have learned how to do our hair under the guidance of Amber Fillerup Clark aka the Barefoot Blonde. Amber is a former hairstylist turned full-time blogger and my go-to-guru for everything hair.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year… and no, I’m not talking about Christmas.
Fall is on the horizon! Meaning chunky knits, patterned scarfs, layers of texture and more boot options than one can comprehend. The September issues of Marie Claire, InStyle, and ELLE are lining the shelves, tempting us to purchase new trends and having us wish Starbucks would just go ahead and launch the Pumpkin Spice Latte!
