Oh Canada!

Entering this holiday weekend after a super crazy month of June (June is the new December - right?) I've decided to take a moment and think about what being a Canadian means to me and all the things I'm thankful for. 


What We Really Said...

Last night I went to a book signing with Rachel Hollis, lifestyle blogger, mom, author and all round super cool chick. At one point in her talk she mentioned that she only has a high school diploma, no post secondary education and yet here she is, writing a book and getting it done.

You Can Leave Your Hat On

You have to protect the face! I love that quote. I'm all about protecting the face from lines and spots and let's face it - melanoma. While the first line of defence for me is daily SPF (that I reapply during the day), the second during the summer months and when I'm on vacation in a sunny destination - is definitely a hat.

Know the Drille

I think the espadrille is the quintessential summer shoe. Designed in Spain and perfected (in my opinion) in France...kidding, isn't everything perfected in France?  But what is true, is the fact that  the espadrille has been around since the 14th century.

Best In Brit

So...have you had enough of the Royal Wedding? Did you wake up at 5 a.m. on Saturday to watch Oprah arrive? I did.  Which dress did you prefer? The ceremony dress or the evening dress?  I think I'll save my opinion for a Best Dressed post later this week.

Hotel Hangouts

Can you even believe the long weekend is upon us already? Where has May gone? May is my favourite month of the year. Not only is it the start of Spring, but then there's  Mother's Day, my birthday and of course my namesake holiday weekend.

Beating the Blues

They say April showers bring May flowers. But what happens when April rolls around and your January blahs have morphed into the April blues...with no flowers in sight? You can get seriously down.
