Sunscreen on- check. Having just enjoyed a glorious sunny & warm Victoria Day Weekend on the dock here in Canada, I was also able to use it to test drive this season’s new sunscreens. And, by new sunscreen, I mean that sunscreen expires, and that key ingredients become ineffective over time. I learned this the…
I Love Layering- Even In The Summer
I am a bit maverick-y when it comes to perfume. I know- shocking, right? I love masterfully composed exclusive perfumes like Acqua di Parma Profumo and sweet, charming gems from the drugstore like Lady Stetson. Another thing I like to do is layer my perfumes. Some might find this sacrilege but I find some of…
Summer Scents That Shine Like The Sun
Donatella’s personal perfume collection – Elle DECOR Versace has been making perfumes for years. I’ve loved and owned many Versace scents, and they have changed to suit the times. They started out strong & flashy in the 80s and have become kindler and gentler over time. They are softer now, but they have turned their…
My Bath Is An Explosion of Roses
That is not me in the bath. I love to languish in a hot steamy bath. I am lucky enough to have a really deep tub, and my bathrooms have huge skylights, so I can lie back and look at the sky while I soak. A scented bath really ups the ante for me, and…
Mother’s Day Memories
Mother’s Day is that day of the year when I like to do as little as possible. Sleep in, drink coffee, be lazy on the sofa and no worrying about anything is allowed. Mother’s Day is for mothers- your mother, your sister the mother, your friend the mother, or you, the mother. For me,…
Mother’s Day Memories – Sweet and Scented
Mother’s Day is that day of the year when I like to do as little as possible. Sleep in, drink coffee, be lazy on the sofa and no worrying about anything is allowed. Mother’s Day is for mothers- your mother, your sister the mother, your friend the mother, or you, the mother. For me, this…
By Kilian Bamboo Harmony Is Ethereal Tea For Your Skin
By Kilian has released two new perfumes as part of their new Asian Tales line. It’s a bit of a departure from their first two collections, which tend to be headier and richer. They are all beautiful in their own way, but certainly not for everyone. We all wear scent differently, and one person’s lovely…
I’m Tripping Over This Nail Polish
Deborah Lippmann knows the way into my wallet heart. Her perfect formulas, amazing brushes and fantastic colours always speak to me. They basically say “buy me”. So I do! One of her brights is quickly becoming a favourite of mine for a perfect retro red-coral shade that is worthy of a Mad Men manicure. Megan Draper…
Kiss My Face? More Like Kiss My Feet
Further to the summer-ready feet theme, I thought I would share a recent find that help keep your feet massage-ready. I recommend a professional pedicure to start off the summer, unless you are like me, and obsessively pamper your feet year round. Once you have a smooth and lovely canvas to work with, its all…
The Open Toe Shoe Pledge
Ladies (and, frankly, men) it is that time of year again. Please take the pledge, and share with your friends. Friends don’t let friends have gnarly feet. The Open Toed Shoe Pledge As a member of the Sisterhood, I pledge to follow the Rules when wear sandals and other open-toe shoes: I promise to always wear…
