Nails of the Week: Brushed Gold
I’ve been a terrible blogger this week – forgive me! I have a ton of posts lined up and photographed, but I just haven’t been able to find the time to edit the photos & write them this week. It’s been a busy one! Continue Reading →

Fall Nail Polish Picks
When the weather gets cooler and the air and leaves turn crisp, it’s time to switch gears from summer into fall.
Autumn is full of rich colours – from the leaves turning golden, crimson, and brown to vibrant orange pumpkins and knit sweaters. I love wearing rich colours on my nails, too – especially deep reds, golds, and jewel tones. Continue Reading →

Fall Bath & Body Works Haul

10 Tips For Staying Positive
I often get asked how I stay positive all the time. The truth is: I don’t. While I do make a conscious effort to look on the bright side and see the good in the world, sometimes it just doesn’t work and I feel blue.
Just like everyone else, occasionally I fall into funks. (Funk: (noun) the super-technical term for a period of time you’re feeling down, sad, insecure, or pessimistic about some or every aspect of your life.)
Some of my funks last a day or two, and some can last for months on end. Often it’s related to what’s going on in my life at the moment, but other times, emotions just… happen. Continue Reading →
Forever 21 Haul Extravaganza
There’s the saying, “Money can’t buy happiness”, and then there’s another one: “Whoever said money can’t buy happiness didn’t know where to shop.” I tend to agree with the latter, because when I un-boxed this Forever 21 order the other day, I was virtually exploding with excitement over everything. It was like Christmas morning! Continue Reading →
Nails of the Week: Mint & Gold
I’m on the brink of diving headfirst into fall polish colors (how I love my deep reds and jewel tones), but while the weather is still relatively warm and autumn hasn’t fully come to town, I thought I’d do one final summer manicure, as a “last hurrah” of sorts. Continue Reading →
Sephora Makeup & Perfume Haul
I’ve been very, very bad.
