Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI've mentioned this before, but Halloween is probably my favourite holiday. Well, alright, I have a lot of favourite holidays and Halloween is definitely in the top 5. I'm already in the Halloween spirit! By that, I mean I have purchased a bag of fun size chocolates. But seriously, there is no holiday that is more fun than Halloween. So with that in mind, I wanted to make sure that...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI've spoken before about the power of a lipstick colour. How it can transform a basic look and how a neutral, minimal made up face can be made instantly chicer with the addition of some colour to your lips. Kind of an 'off duty model' type of deal.
Of course, with all the lipsticks out there it's important to find one that gives you what you need. Whether it's an intense...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThe other day, I wore my favourite pair of basic black ballet flats to work and as I walked down the street, it suddenly dawned on me: it was no longer ballet flat wearing season. Man, my feet were cold!
With the tempermental weather this time of year (when it's not brisk and chilly, it's downpouring with rain), finding a good pair of shoes to combat the elements is difficult. You also want...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basAmber Tamblyn, one of my favourite actresses from the (so very good, don't judge me) Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants was recently married to comedian David Cross. I kind of love this couple, they're cute 'n quirky and oh-so adorable. One of the reasons I love them so much is because of Ms. Tamblyn's choice of wedding dress. Instead of going with the same ol' white...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basBoo! We're only a few weeks away from one of my favourite holidays: Halloween!
I love Halloween because it's awesome for both adults and children (and adult-children like myself who refuse to grow up). While the kids are overdosing on sugar, I think you should sit back, relax and pour yourself a Halloween inspired cocktail.

1 1/2 cups fresh blood-orange...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basMy friends tell me that I tend to obsess over things until I overdose. I prefer to think of it as just being really into something. Nevertheless, they are (somewhat) right. It happens every season or so. I become fascinated with certain styles, looks or fashions and I wear nothing else until I hit my limit and get that itch to completely refresh my closet.
In light of this, I thought I would...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIf you're an Orlando newbie like me, the first thing you think of when someone mentions the city is, without a doubt, Disney World. However, I recently had the amazing opportunity to see Orlando for a few days with Visit Orlando and not only did I have an incredible time, I had it without visiting Disney World. I'm not knocking Disney World by any means, I love me some Disney and I have a...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basSometimes, you just have 'one of those days'. Maybe you got into a fight with your BFF, maybe you woke up 30 minutes late and missed your bus, maybe your favourite pair of tights got a run in them or maybe it's just something little that put a wrench in your day. We all have those days and when they happen to me, I like to treat myself to some instant happiness: Fun Products! They just...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basFor us Canadian chicks, Thanksgiving is only a few days away and I for one, am dreaming of all the delicious holiday goodness. Putting on my stretchy pants and eating as much as possible is probably one of my favourite activities. However, no matter how much I manage to pack away, each year we're always left with a mountain of leftovers.
Usually, my Thanksgiving aftermath meal of choice...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI’ve put the following items on my face in an attempt to find the perfect DIY skincare: hemorrhoid cream, milk of magnesia, goat’s milk and countless produce and dairy concoctions made into masks. So, when we started talking about some ideas we've thought about for an online dating article, actually trying out a service didn’t seem so scary in comparison. Especially when...
