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.

Sassoon Salon - Yorkville

A few weeks ago, I got an email from Jessica of Budman PR inviting me to take a tour around Sassoon Salon's new space in Yorkville (122 Scollard St.) She also offered me to receive a complimentary service. It was such a great timing because I was already planning to get my hair done before I go on my trip. Also, last time I had my hair dyed was in March. PURPLE! Then it faded. So it was time for a change.

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.

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!
