I always manage to catch a flu or cold at the tail end of the year and it takes me a solid couple of weeks to recover. It’s honestly dreadful and I’m so glad I’ve finally bounced back! Catching a cold or flu during the winter months is inevitable and while you take the time to mend your health on the inside, what about recovering on the outside?

Hello friends! Wow, it’s been nearly a month since I’ve published a blog post, it’s the LONGEST hiatus I’ve ever taken in the history of my blogging journey. I took a much needed break because I was battling a bad cold for three weeks and I’m so thrilled that I’m finally back up and running!

In between my coughs and sneezes, I did however manage to work on a super fun project with the orvda in transforming a plain, simple RV into a home away from home! This was just the perfect project to kick off 2019 as I am looking forward to bringing you all more home and decor content this year.

I love Sundays.

Though it’s only one day away from the start of another work week, I make effort to reserve Sundays for self-care. I rarely have free time during the week, therefore Sundays are perfect for yoga, delicious healthy meals, therapeutic hobbies, and pampering time for my skin and body!

Imagine transporting yourself back to the imitating days of high school, what were you most self-conscious about?

I mean, we all have little imperfections, right? But during your teenage years, as you’re starting to ‘grow’ into your own body and hormone levels are sky rocket high, those tiny imperfections seem to amplify. And at times, even the girls who are most confident can find themselves vulnerable. In my case, growing up, I was embarrassed by the layer of peach fuzz that covered my upper arms and back. I mean now that I think back, it wasn’t even that bad! But for years, I refused to wear anything sleeveless or backless. I was afraid to be mocked.

This has ought to be my favourite time of the year. When the trees are ready to shed its coat and the leaves are dressed with beautiful shades of gold.

While the trees are ridding its coat, I on the other hand is shopping for a new one! As we transition from the slightly cooler weather to the deep chill of winter, it’s important to add appropriate outerwear and accessories to keep warm. This in between weather can be quite unpredictable in Toronto, its cold enough to ditch the trench coat but not yet time to bring out the down filled parkas.

September marks the time of Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Last month, the city was hustling and bustling with celebrities and film makers as they proudly walked the red carpets and premiered their fine works of art for the first time. I had the distinct pleasure to attend a number of events hosted by Nespresso, including Coffee with Creators and the premier screening of “First Man”, starring our very own Ryan Gosling!
