Can you have enough pairs of basic sandals during the summer?
The answer is no, of course! I love pairing them with maxi dresses and they’re great to toss in my tote bag in case I decide to take a long evening stroll after work. I decided to give my two pairs of Joe Fresh sandals a dose of glam by customizing them with faux pearl beads and assorted trims. The results were awesome!

Let me ask you a question, do you think that indoor air is better than outside air? Answer to that question is false because inside air pollution can be up to five times worse! Poor indoor air quality can be triggered in the home by some inconspicuous items such as scented candles, air fresheners, rugs, cushions and even cleaning supplies. And since we take 20,000 breaths a day, and much of that likely while we’re sleeping, means if you don’t have a proactive approach of purifying indoor air, you’re consuming a number of pollutants into your body.
I’ve owned my Dyson Pure Hot + Cool Link Purifier for nearly a year now (read my first review here) and I’m really happy with this device. Originally, I enjoyed the unit’s cooling and heating features, but over time, I’ve noticed the positive results of the purifying capabilities and when I’ve found ourselves most dependent on it.
Life is good because it’s finally pool season! A couple of weekends ago I was invited to join some beauties for some good ol’ pool party fun! Not sure if any of you do this, but during the summer months, I’ve got a pre-packed pool bag ready to go at all times because I really don’t want to waste anytime packing my stuff in case someone calls for a last minute party!
Besides the usual list of pool bag items such as sunscreen, a towel, change of clothes, and a hat, I also like to bring along a Panasonic’s new Nanoe™ Compact Travel Hair Dryer because I want to be able to immediately wash the chlorine out of my hair and style it before heading out again!
It’s been nearly ten years since I’ve traveled on vacation with my family. In May, as a group of 11, we embarked on a week-long trip to Hawaii. We adventured around the island of Oahu and we couldn’t have asked for a better time! It was my first time in Hawaii, and it’s no lie when they say that it is paradise!
Seeing that getting the entire family out to Hawaii is likely a once in a lifetime kind of experience, I surprised my sister and mom with matching swimwear and outfits from Joe Fresh’s recent collection in collaboration with lemlem, an artisan-driven collection of women’s, men’s, children’s and home goods made entirely in Africa.

Many people often ask how I manage to juggle so many different priorities. From a full time job, to creating content, attending events, and more recently managing the renovation chaos that’s been happening at home as we speak. How do I find time to relax, enjoy my hobbies, and spend time with those I love?
There isn’t some secret voodoo magic to it. It all comes down to resilience, effective time management, and finding ways throughout the day to save a bit of time here and there. But, some days, I spend way too much time getting ready in the morning or just before bed. Washing and drying my hair may turn into an hour ordeal and when I’ve decided its time for a face mask, well, I may convince myself it’s time for a full on in home two-hour facial.
The truth is, most of us wished the days were longer so we can find the time to nourish and pamper ourselves without feeling rushed and pressed for time. So, wouldn’t it be great if we all had an extra hour a day?
Today, I’ve partnered with AVEENO® to share some of my recent beauty discoveries that have helped me regain an extra hour back in my day!
Many of us tend to reserve bubbly and sparkling cocktails only for special occasions. However, I disagree! I believe everyday deserves a sparkling moment and I’ve come to really enjoy and appreciate the luxurious taste of La Marca Prosecco that embodies elegance yet versatility, which makes it the perfect choice to elevate any day of the week.
To showcase the variety of vibrant bouquet notes of golden apple, white peaches and honeysuckle, I’m sharing a few delightful ways to enjoy a glass of La Marca Prosecco with friends this Summer by the pool or at home!
You all already know the love I have for Nespresso, I can barely go a day without a cup. But when it’s hot and humid outside, coupled with a broken air conditioner at home (it’s been over a week!), enjoying a steaming cup of coffee is not quite on the top of my morning to-do’s.
However, I’m super thrilled to share that my friends at Nespresso have come to the rescue with two Limited Edition release of coffees that have been specifically crafted to be enjoyed over ice. Intenso on Ice and Leggero on Ice are perfect to consume as black coffee but equally as delicious topped with cold milk.

I love picking up fresh pastries on the weekends. It’s seen as a “hey, you’ve worked hard all week, time for something special” kind of treat. If I was a skilled baker, I’d definitely prefer to make patches of goodies at home over buying them from the store.
However, baking to me has always been super complicated, lots of steps, many ingredients involved, and requires precision and patience. Which quite frankly I don’t have what it takes to perfect. But, I recently discovered the simplest (and tastiest) recipe for a stellar weekend delight thanks to my exclusive visit to the President’s Choice Test Kitchen!
Can you believe I’ve never stepped foot onto this location before? For those of you who live in Toronto, Sugar Beach has become a local favourite due to the cute pink umbrellas that stand tall against the city waterfront. Perhaps it was my (almost) all pink outfit that inspired me to visit Sugar Beach on this particular afternoon for an impromptu photo shoot.
A couple months ago, I was experiencing back pains every morning, and finally decided to make the move to switch out our old mattress for a new one. Since mattress shopping isn’t entirely sexy, in fact, many people find it quite intimidating, I wrote about a few things I learned before bringing home a new mattress.
It’s been eight weeks since we brought home our Tempur-Pedic Embrace Collection mattress and I couldn’t be more satisfied with it! And to celebrate the beginning better sleep, I took the opportunity to refresh our bedroom with a mini makeover as well!
