Welcome!

It’s never a bad thing to have beautiful skin. Over the past few days I’ve had the opportunity mix up my usual nighttime skincare routine and test Beautycounter’s new line Countertime.
Ordering from Amazon is so much fun! Actually ordering ANYTHING online is so much fun! I love receiving parcels at the door and it’s so nice to be greeted by name from the Purolator and UPS delivery men. ;) Sometime it’s my only human interaction in a day until my son get’s home from school. (Kidding not kidding).
Everything I write is inspired by something, I don’t always tell you what it is but there's always something. Each post has a backstory and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write this Steep vs. Cheep about a wee little tweet I once made.
If you’re planning on taking an overnight flight this summer, then it’s best to prepare yourself so you don’t become the reason the flight is called the ‘red eye’. I’ve been doing a little research about best practices for overnight flights for an upcoming trip I’m taking later this summer.
Olivia Palermo once said something like ‘washing your face before bed is the most important part of my beauty routine.’ I’m highly paraphrasing her and there’s a chance it wasn’t Olivia Palermo at all, but you get the gist of it. Removing your make up and cleansing your skin before laying your head to rest for the night is golden.
Can you believe I’ve been writing this blog for almost four years (how long have you been reading it?) and I’ve never done on a post specifically on jeans? I wear jeans six out of seven days of the week and I haven’t devoted an entire post to them! I can’t even believe it myself.
I find I’m not spending as much time on Facebook these days, hence my scrolling is down by probably 50%…ok maybe 25% if I’m being honest. This is a really good thing!
The maxi dress is having a moment, and that moment couldn’t have come at a better time! I’ve alway been a mini dress kinda girl, and then something called gravity hit my kness and oh fuck - I suddenly I became a maxi dress kinda woman (short of knee lift of course -is there such a thing?).
Since the Raptors have started the playoffs, game nights at my house have seen my family room full of teenage boys watching the game and playing endless rounds of mini sticks. I thought it might be nice to treat the boys to some fun snacks - that don’t have to be healthy.
Since we’re coming up on summer vacay season, and many of you (including me) will be renting AirBnB’s instead of traditional hotels, I thought it might be worthwhile to go through some basic AirBnB etiquette. AirBnB’s ARE NOT hotels, so you shouldn’t expect the same level of service that you would receive in a hotel.
Did anyone ever make you a mixed tape? Just image the hours of work that went into putting all those song on to a cassette. Recording them from an album or even the radio. I was given a mixed tape once, it even had a homemade cover.
