Here at CA HQ in Canada, Thanksgiving is upon us! For the chicks south of us, yes we know, we're kooky like that. But Canadian Thanksgiving happens at one of the best times of the year. The leaves have just started to turn colours and the weather is just cool enough to enjoy being outside with a nice knit sweater. It makes for the perfect background to one of the best holidays.  Good...

I like to think I'm a tough cookie. I like to think of myself as a Rooney Mara badass type of chick who can kick ass and take names. Truth? Not so much. I'm more of a Care Bear softie gal. Hence the reason I've never been professionally waxed. On the legs, underarms or any other dark nether region. I will be the first to openly admit that I'm a giant wussy baby who will cry if you pinch me.

How would you like to smell like a Zombie? Why not? Zombies are sexy right? Kind of on the whole sexy Twilight vampire deal? 

Hmmm, maybe not so much. The stench of the undead might not bring all the boys to the yard. However, if you still want to join in the Halloween spirit, Demeter Fragrance Library has released a few spooky scents that take a surprisingly feminine and fragrant approach to...

So originally, this was supposed to be a 'Face of the Month' post because I couldn't get over that oxblood gradient lip paired with the slicked back hair and smoky eye. She's all scary sexy, witchy goth style and I like it. Then my eyes wandered down and I was all, 'dayum girl where'd your pants go?!". Obvi we gotta talk about the whole pantless look. 
 

First of all, that Givenchy Bambi...

So much has happened in the past few weeks chicks, we need to sit down and discuss it. Not in my life, unless you count me crushing two seasons of Breaking Bad noteworthy (which p.s. I do). I'm talking in the world of fashion, beauty and celebs. 

With spring fashion weeks blooming, holiday beauty releases coming out and celebs (well, just being themselves), there is a ton of news that you need...

Is it just me or does the start of fall automatically turn into MAKE ALL THE THINGS PUMPKIN?! Now, don't get me wrong, I love pumpkin. I seriously think pumpkin pie should be an all season dish. But c'mon gals, there are a ton of other delicious fall flavours to be discovered! Like cinnamon or nutmeg, and apple! These tasty ingredients don't get enough attention. Here's the take away: there's more...

I've always held the belief that you can tell how good a night was based on how much makeup you still have on the morning after. Judging by my raccoon eyes the next morning, ShopCrawl was #epic. We shopped 'til we dropped, ate and drank and danced to some awesome jams all night long, were up way past our bedtime and were contentedly exhausted the morning after. 

For those of you who...

How do you get ready in the morning? Personally, I love my sleep and my beauty routine needs to do two things: get me looking as relatively presentable in as little time as possible and start my day off right so I feel pumped and energized. 

This means that my beauty routine is streamlined to have as little steps as possible and that some upbeat danceable tunes are a must-have! A morning...
