I never expected when I started blogging that one day I would end up writing a post about toothpaste but here I am. When commercials come on tv spouting this or that about some amazing new improvement to an every day product I usually roll my eyes and fast forward the pvr. Then one day [...]

Hi Everyone! I’m Emily a 30-something new mom to an adorable five month old girl. I grew up in Canada (where I currently live) but I spent most of my twenties in London, England which massively influenced my sense of style and beauty.
Before we get to my bag I have a confession to make. I’m [...]

Ok so this is more of a “what would you do” post than a review. I really hate confrontation and am not really ever sure how to handle these situations so I’m turning to you lovely ladies as the font of all knowledge to help me out.
Here’s the scenario:
I was invited to a blogging event [...]

With less than a month to go in my pregnancy I seem to have stumbled into a season of bug bites, heat rash and general pregnancy growth that together combine to create the perfect storm of serious itchiness. I am have been pretty much going insane with the desire to rip my skin off and [...]

Have you ever had a beauty experience (treatment, product, advice, etc) that completely changed the way you feel about yourself? I have – the blow out. I was in my late 20’s when a friend of a friend, who was a stylist asked me if I had ever had my incredibly thick, naturally curly hair [...]

One of my biggest struggles since I’ve becoming pregnant has been trying to get enough sleep. (At this point I’m not even trying to get beauty sleep I’m just trying to get enough functional sleep so my brain works in the morning.) I also know that I need as much sleep as I can get [...]

I’m not exactly sure what’s been wrong with me this week but I seem to have a case of the blues. I have been feeling very sorry for myself and just can’t seem to shake it. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and pulled out my all time favorite secret weapon [...]

There is nothing I love more (after shoes anyway) than accessories. I love how a few pieces can easily transform an outfit from drab to FAB in no time flat and nothing says “check her out” like coordinated extras. I love finding bold, interesting, colorful pieces which means that this summer’s accessory trends are right [...]

One of my favorite Spring and Summer make up items is Stila’s Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15. I have to admit I resisted making the move to tinted moisturiser for years because I always felt that tinted moisturizer = naked face. So every morning I mixed up my own concoction of moisturizer and foundation and inevitably got the amount wrong which resulted in wasting expensive foundation. I was with a girlfriend (one of those women who makes looking good year round look effortless) when she had to pop in to purchase Stila’s tinted moisturizer. I was amazed that she used it because her skin always looked so even and glowy and figured she was just one of those lucky cows! I didn’t need to be told twice so I grabbed a bottle and never looked back.

I find that as Spring hits and the temperatures rise I want to wear less make up along with less clothes. I switch to tinted moisturiser instead of foundation and I’ve often had an issue with powder blushes either being too overpowering or sitting funny on my skin. Enter Benetint by Benefit. This is a [...]
