If you believe that things happen for a reason, then my introduction to Brittney of Aiyana Jewelry was fate. Her incredible journey of recovery from Late Stage Lyme Disease is a shout out to everyone looking for the next best thing while neglecting self-care practices. We are all striving to make our mark but only seem to stop when our bodies fail us. Picking yourself up again is a challenge you often face alone. For Brittney, […]
Even though it’s officially Spring, Canadians can’t seem to shake off the cold winter winds. For the rest of you who are enjoying the warmer weather, take advantage of the fun trends and blooming prints that spring has to offer. I mentioned the sheer socks trend in my Spring 2018 Trend Report so I thought I’d show some options of how to style that trend. Sheer socks aren’t the norm but I encourage you to […]
When you buy from a small business an actual person does a happy dance. That person is Beverly Wang of ByINABE. She makes beautiful and practical leather bags and wallets by herself. Kudos to this boss babe who experimented, found what she was good at and is sticking to it. She’s creating practical bags for professional women; keep reading on why you should support her. What are you working on right now that’s going to […]
This is one beaded bracelet that everyone will be asking you about! I’ve only worn it out twice and it has been all compliments and “OMG, you made that?!” Trust me, when I say it’s so easy. I only had to start over once because I hadn’t measured my wrist properly but I’m giving you the measurements so there shouldn’t be any problems 🙂 Materials Beads (I choose 2 different kinds) Hemp cord (20 inches) […]
This weekend was blissful. The weather was amazing considering its end of January. But come today, we have major snow! It’s incredibly dark outside and it’s only 3 pm. So if you’re like me and reside in a city/country where snow and rain are inevitable, cheer up. Spring trends are hitting stores 🙂 I can’t wait to bring out brighter hues and of course some ultraviolet (which I’ll transition more into lavender). Taking inspiration from […]
I was first introduced to This Ilk at Inland. Designer, Tamara Bavdek’s jewellery style and designs were nothing like I had ever seen. The Indica necklace especially caught my eye and was gifted to me by the hubz. Unfortunately, I didn’t meet Tamara at the event but I reached out for a chance to know more about This Ilk. Luckily, she was heading down to Toronto for the One-of-a Kind Show and this gave me […]
The coming of the new year gives you the chance to reflect and plan for the next year. It’s the perfect time to start something new or re-enforce your existing goals. There are a number of things I hope to accomplish this year in regards to this blog and my life. Every year I think about goals but never write them down to actively work towards achieving them. For 2018, I bought a pretty journal […]
I celebrated my 28th birthday this month. As I get older, birthday’s really freak me out. Usually, a month before I’ll start panicking about not being able to accomplish everything I set out to do. However, this year was different. I was prepared and actually excited for the day. So much so, that I majorly splurged on a pair of sneakers well before my birthday 😛 This year I figured out what career path I […]
Tomorrow, I’ll be celebrating my 28th birthday! As I type that out, it really hits me. There have been some pretty awesome moments and some pretty awful moments. All in all, it’s been great :). And to celebrate the day I’m having my first giveaway! I’ve teamed up with Fredrick Prince Artisan Jewellery to give one lucky Instagram fan a chance to win this super edgy Cecilia bracelet. There are no surprises that I chose […]
This week’s post is a little different; however, it’s an issue that needs to be highlighted. As of June 2016, there are more than 65 million refugees! 65 million people who have been displaced from their homes, lost everything they know and hold dear. They live off monthly cash assistance from the United Nations Refugee Agency. Despite everything, these people are willing to work but the lack of freedom denies them to do so. Muna, […]
