current obsession: radiance spin-care system

It hasn't been an easy road. Transforming my skin care routine has taken a lot of time and effort. For years, my goals were to improve my skin care routine, be more consistent, and remember to take my makeup off before bed. And for years, it just wouldn't happen. I don't know what changed exactly. This past year has been one of massive transformation on a personal level - and perhaps taking care of my skin just fell in line with the positive changes in my life! Whatever the reason, my current skin care routine is one I feel good about. I am using quality products, am consistently making good choices, and can see noticeable changes. One of the more recent additions to my routine is the Radiance Spin-Care System from Duvolle.

#OOTD: Kendall and Kylie for Ardenes

Love them or hate them, the Kardashians and Jenners are here to stay. Though people were quick to dismiss the reality stars as flashes in the pan....they have launched multiple businesses, clothing lines, makeup collections, and more. The latest comes from Kendall and Kylie. The sisters teamed up with Ardenes for a fall fashion collaboration that includes a variety of trendy styles, including t-shirts, sweaters, workout gear, distresed jeans, and even purses. I admit: this collaboration has me excited. Not only are the designs easy to wear, stylish, and fairly affordable, but they are perfectly on brand for the duo.

end of summer: part two (fan expo canada)

It was a little overwhelming. Though I had long wondered what it would be like to attend Fan Expo Canada, my experience was nothing like I thought it would be. Sure, I'd envisioned lots of people, celebrities, and people dressed in elaborate costumes. But nothing could prepare me for the sheer insanity of it all. Recently, my husband and I took the plunge and spent the Sunday of the Labour Day weekend checking out Fan Expo Canada 2018. The moment we entered the building, it was chaos. There were people everywhere, Funko pop figures lining shelf after shelf, and a full schedule of guests, appearances, and everything in between. It was a crazy and wonderful way to celebrate the end of summer.

end of summer: part one (medieval times + cne)

One quote to summarize the end of summer? "The tans will fade but the memories will last forever." It is so true! Though it is hard to believe, we are nearing the very end of the summer season. School is back in session, the morning temperatures are dropping, and before long, there will be fallen leaves covering every inch of ground. With each passing year, the summer months seem to go by faster and faster. Thankfully, they are always full of special moments and memories. This summer was no different. It was loaded with trips to the zoo, concerts, and more recently, a fantastic day at the CNE and Medieval Times.

review: paris hilton cosmetics (glam sticks set)

Another day, another Paris Hilton Cosmetics post! It seems that over the last several months, there have been more and more posts about this brand both here on the blog and on my YouTube channel. Not only am I a fan of Paris in general, but her makeup line is affordable and downright exciting. The latest item that has been added to my collection is this 6 Piece Full Glam Sticks set. It includes a bronzer stick, lip and cheek stick, three holographic sticks, and one glitter stick. That means lots of variety and several small travel sized products to test out. Are these a must have? Or are they only so-so? Here is everything you need to know about this Paris Hilton collection.

A chance to re-focus your mind and feel like your very best self again? Often when we start to transition from one season to the next, our emotions are all over the place. We struggle with those sleepy mornings and regular routines. It doesn't have to be that way. It is possible to make positive changes and achieve a balanced lifestyle. Here are a few ideas to help you become happier and healthier.

katy kat glam: lip gloss + body glitter review

One of my favourite artists has to be Katy Perry. I love her music, her unique style, and quirky personality. Something else I love? Her collaboration with Cover Girl. It was a couple of years ago that they released the Katy Kat Eye mascara (you can read a review of that here) and since then, it has been product after product. There have been eyeshadow sets, eyeliners, and more recently, Katy Kat Glam sets. These feature two items: a Katy Kat Gloss and a Body Glitter. Though there are different shades to choose from with these sets, the one I will be reviewing today is the gloss in Cantaloupe and glitter in Gold.
