Lately I’ve been testing a lot of mascaras, and mostly mascaras of the waterproof variety. I have very oily skin, and for some reason non-waterproof mascara just melts off my skin. The racoon eyes look does not work for me, so waterproof it is. I have several favourites, number one being Clinique Lash Power Mascara,…
I was invited to CTV Ottawa Morning Live to chat about keeping your make up melt-free and gorgeous in the heat and sun at music festivals! You can read more about the products used here.
Hot steamy weather calls for different scents than you might want to wear when the weather is cold. Soft, tropical and lush florals, fruity delights, herbal “pick me ups” and “out of the shower fresh” perfumes can take the place of the heavier, richer and sweeter more resinous perfumes we might bust out on cooler…
I don’t have a lot of experience with REN skincare, but that is going to change. I’ve started using their Keep Young & Beautiful SH²C Serum as part of my morning skincare routine and I LOVE it. I became obsessed with learning more about the line after discovering it at Space NK in Florida. They had…
Happy Canada Day, Canadians! Enjoy the holiday and party smart! I love this photo of PM Pierre Trudeau and his sons. I have fond memories of spending my Canada Day on The Hill, and remember one year (late 70s) I got really sick from sunstroke (lesson learned). St John’s ambulance took me backstage and I…
Warning: pedicure/toes photo ahead! I’ve recently heard from people who are freaked out by foot photos, so I thought I would offer a warning. Although if you’re here it’s likely too late. Ooops.

Oooh, LUSH, you’ve done it again. You’ve made my shower experience so fabulous I want to drain my hot water tank (don’t laugh – it’s happened). I love roses, and when I sniffed LUSH Turkish Delight Shower Smoothie I knew it was love. It is the cleanest prettiest soapiest rose scent, and just smelling it makes…
Summer is here! Yipeeee! If you’re like me, you couldn’t be happier to peel off the layers and bask in the heat and sometimes, the sun. Not on purpose, other than to dry off after swimming, as that feels heavenly and healing. Just getting around in our day to day lives exposes us to enough…
Hourglass is one of my favourite cosmetic lines. Not only are the cosmetics of the highest quality and perform above and beyond the call of beauty-duty, but their packaging is gorgeous. Hourglass products feel like high quality items and there is nothing flimsy about the construction or the design. They feel nice in the hand…
Summertime means outdoor music and festivals season is upon us! Time to bust out your prettiest and breeziest summer looks and look lovely while keeping your cool. This can be tougher than it seems under the hot summer sun, while we sweat and melt in the humidity. But I have a few tips for staying…
