Which Nespresso machine is right for you?

As a proud owner of five Nespresso machines (yes, I said five), I quite often get questions from readers, friends and family on which Nespresso machine they should buy. Well, that’s a good question! Honestly, each coffee machine is unique and can offer something slightly different from another. But if you’re in the market for only one (most people are), then I would focus on what is most important to you. For example, are you looking for a machine that offers you the kind of coffee you want to drink daily? Or are you seeking for one to entertain guests? Perhaps you’re most keen on the design and style of the machine.

Spring has finally sprung and despite the unseasonably chilly weather, I’m totally ready! 

This time of the year is honestly the best time to snatch up some great sale finds. I love stocking up on Winter coats and boots that I’ve been eyeing the past few months and storing them away for next season. Often times, there are also some fabulous transitional pieces you can pick up for Spring! 

How smart is your home?

If you’ve not yet integrated smart home devices into your home, you’re missing out! The original concept of the Internet of Things was likely introduced nearly a decade ago whereby various objects, not only computers and smart phones are able to connect to the Internet and in turn, be controlled to perform multiple functions. It seemed like a world that only belonged in Sci-Fi movies. Well, the concept of the “smart home” is now a reality, and in the last couple of years, countess devices have been launched and ready to serve.

With the arrival of Spring just around the corner, it’s time to get your home prepared for this beautiful and refreshing season. This time of year is a great opportunity to undergo a thorough Spring cleaning, freshen up the space with new linens and bring in scents of citrus and floral notes.

Who doesn’t love a life hack?! A few weeks ago, I was invited to join Ford Canada at the Ford Life Hack Academy event in New York City to celebrate…

Investing in beauty products can be quite intimidating.

Unless you’ve tried a specific product before or it has been highly recommended by a trusted source, it’s tough to make a decision on what product to choose. I love collecting beauty samples because they are a great way to try a product before making the full commitment. Samples often come in compact sizes and they’re also perfect packed in my luggage for travel or tucked away in my purse when I’m on the go.

I love a little spice (or sometimes a lot!) in my food. I find spicy foods so warm and comforting. With the dreadful temperatures we’ve been experiencing this winter, all I can think about is snuggling up to a cozy, spicy bowl of stew or perhaps a hot spicy beverage such as this Chili Chocolate Latte for a change!

Are you a fellow art lover?

I’ve always been drawn to art. I am pretty sure I take after my Dad who has managed to unleash the artist in him by learning how to paint and since exhibiting at several local art fairs when he retired at the age of 65 from his steady government job.

What is your love story?
Everyone has a love story. And whether it has yet to be written, happily in progress, or a chapter has already ended, we can all agree that the journey of love, is a remarkable one.

In celebration of Valentine’s Day, I wanted to share my love story with you, how I met my husband, and a few important lessons I’ve learned along the way with the hope to spread more love today!

Has the thought of getting fillers injections cross your mind?

I’ve contemplated fillers injections myself but just like many other women out there (two thirds to be exact), resorting to injections and needles just isn’t something that entices me. It’s costly and to be honest, I fear of the ‘gone wrong’ potential or worst, perhaps developing some terrible allergic reaction to it. However, with the arrival of my 35th birthday this year, I’d be the first to admit that skin aging has become a priority concern.
