A full and complete clothing and accessory wardrobe has the right mix of classic go-to and trendy pieces. With a well balanced wardrobe, finding the right outfit to suit any occasion, event or weather should be a snap!  

The same ideals should be applied to your fragrance collection. Especially when you consider the seasons. In winter, we tend to wear more gourmand, spicier and...

As a seasoned beauty enthusiast, there are a few simple rules that I obey without question. 

1. Less is more 
2. Never overpluck 
3. It's all about balance (bold eye = nude lip and vice versa) 

and lastly...

4. The over the top lip liner and lipstick combo should be left in the 90's  

However, at Prada's Spring/Summer 2013 show, they totally blew my mind by breaking...

Strictly speaking dessert-wise, Easter is the BEST holiday. I mean, part of the holiday is going around finding chocolate, so obviously the sweets are going to be ah-mazing. I also think Easter is the cutest holiday. You guys, there are bunnies and chicks involved. So, why not combine the two best things about Easter? 

Here's our round up of some of the cutest, sweetest and most adorable...

When it comes to shopping, it's most often worth it to pay more. I have a graveyard of dollar store earbuds to prove this. However, once in a while I come across a product that works so well for a really low price. It almost seems as though the clouds part and angels start to sing and all I want to do is shout out: 'it's a miracle'! 

That's the case for these...

The dollar store is a magical place full of wonderful items! Sometimes though, they veer towards tacky town. Case in point: their selection of figurines and assorted garden animals. 

Paint is a simple solution and an instant makeover for tacky knickknacks! A coat of solid coloured paint turns your dollar store finds into kitschy, chic and modern pieces that you can be proud to display! I...

The thing about discussing super models in a Yay or Nay is: even if it's an awful outfit, it still looks pretty darn good. It's kind of like pizza; you know it's bad for you, but it's just so good. 

I think that's the case with this week's Yay or Nay! Bar Refaeli in a two piece tangerine ensemble (crop top and wide leg included). Take a gander before we discuss:

I'm a lazy beauty junkie. So, I enjoy the lazy man's shower of dry shampoo and body spray. Plus, I'm a huge fan of trying to get away with unwashed hair for as long as possible. Hey, it's good for your hair and you can wake up 10 minutes later in the morning! It is necessary to wash your hair at least once in a while, though. Which is why I though it perfect to have a shampoo...

It's another week and we're back with another round of fun-tabulous contests! Which means that yet again, there are two prize packs that you could win! What's in these prize packs, you may ask? Well, unfortunately, I can't tell ya. But what I can say is that each one is worth approx. C$40.00! 

1. This weeks Yay or Nay: Supermodel Bar Refaeli in a tangerine two piece...

Macarons are notoriously temperamental when it comes to baking them. However, they're also notoriously mouth-watering. My version of baking macarons mostly involves handing over cash to someone far more talented.
 
I love baking though, so if there was an easier way to get all that goodness without wanting to simply quit and cry on the floor (I've been there chicks, no judgment), I'd be all...

Today, we're talking about the ladies. Yup, those ladies. I don't think the gals get nearly enough TLC, especially when you consider all the changes they go through. Your bust size fluctuates easily as you gain and lose weight or if you are pregnant, which means that your girls are prone to stretch marks. As we age, firmness also becomes an issue. And for the new mothers out there,...
