How I Style My Awkward Hair Length

When you're at that awkward hair length stage, the no brainer hair solution is to go either curled or.. well, that's it. Since chopping my hair off two years ago, I never let my hair grow below my shoulders. As soon as it hits that certain length, it’s been so difficult trying to do anything else to my hair. I can't even leave it straight because the ends won't cooperate. So I worked on these three hairstyles (using a ceramic flat iron from Irresistible Me) that you can add to your repertoire while you’re at that awkward hair length!

REVIEW | Irresistible Me Diamond Flat Iron

I've been travelling a lot during the first half of the year, and I always pack my Tiri "Black Tie Affair MiniToGo Iron in my luggage. The best part about it is it comes in its own travel case to keep it protected and my stuff organized. My last trip to Paris had a minor adjustment to my carry-on essentials. Instead of packing my usuals, I decided to bring this ceramic flat iron from Irresistible Me.

Beach Cover Up

The long weekend is over, but this is also the beginning of summer. Weekends need to be spent outdoors, and get all that Vitamin D. Just don't forget your SPF and protect your skin! Whenever I decide to visit the beaches, I walk along the boardwalk or play around by the shore. Yesterday's case was different. I actually just wanted to chill under the sun and get my tan on. I'm never comfortable with wearing swimsuits in public, and this lace tunic from Stella & Dot is the perfect cover up while I stroll by the water.

Travelling with Microsoft

My blogging career has been getting more recognition since the beginning of this year, and I'm very much thankful for all the opportunities that have been given to me. In all honesty, it's really tough. It's definitely a "make it" or "break it" industry, but you can't give up and just work as hard (or more) as everybody else. For six weeks, I've been travelling so much (in addition to fashion and press events) that I couldn't keep up with all the editing and writing I had to work on. Glad to have the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 by my side!

Hello jewellery lovers! I've been a fan of Stella & Dot since I-dont-know-when. Just kidding. I discovered the brand three years ago when I was an intern at Dress for Success Toronto. In fact, I still have my first Stella & Dot piece sitting in my room. Now that I'm thinking about it, it was also my very first statement necklace. I still use it and still in very good shape. The quality of their jewellery is just phenomenal.

Inside My Little Black Bags

Happy Hump Day everyone! Well.. Not really for me because I am currently sitting in front of my desk, writing this post. Plus the weather is not looking so good at the moment so there's a higher probability that I will stay in for the rest of the day. Which what my routine looks like on my days off.

At the beginning of this month I was contacted by Eva Luk from The Exhibit team. Confused about what this is about? The Exhibit is a premier online destination for fashion jewelry based in Toronto. They are officially launching in May 1st. Only a few days left! Love supporting local brands! I received three beautiful pieces from The Exhibit and I can't wait to share them with you. Read til the end to access the website.

REVIEW | SST Cosmetics

Few weeks ago, I was surprised with a package from Charming Media. I arrived home from work and there it was... a small box with my name on it on the dining table. I was very confused as to why I was sent this mystery box. I've never had anything delivered to my apartment without my knowledge so this was a first!

Luxe Box | Summer 2014

I've never joined any online subscriptions before. Except for magazines. Early this year I decided to sign up on Loose Button.

Members also receive exclusive access to private events, product launches, and beauty tips and tutorials to help them stay trendy every season.

REVIEW | Optimera Day & Night Cream

Way back in June, I was fortunate to be invited to a media luncheon for a new skincare line that has launched in Canada. Sadly, I wasn't able to attend but they were kind enough to send me these products for review purposes. Honestly, my moisturizer journey has been a really tough one so there has been a lot of trial products on my makeup shelf. According to Nerium International, I can toss them all away and simplify my skincare routine by using only the Optimera Day and Night Cream.

REVIEW | MaskerAide Facial Sheet Mask

***Products were sent for review purposes.***

I haven't really included sheet masks in my facial cleansing routine. Although I like pampering myself one in a while by using those clay based masks that hardens on your face. As soon as I received an email from Charming Media regarding these masks, I was very excited to try them out. Rather than applying a thick paste to your face, sheet masks are made from a thin finer sheet that is cut to contour the face. The fiber mask is soaked in a highly concentrated serum infused with vitamins and nutrients.
