We first spoke about BB creams last summer, and since then these all-in-one wonders have gone from cult fave to a must-have in any chick's makeup bag. BB creams originated in Asia and have been popular there for a while, but they've only recently come to North America. 

We did a bit of BB beauty research and we've got to say, we're liking this trend! We love that BB creams are...

This summer, I've resolved to look fabulous. Not just once in a while or on special occasions, but every single day. It's kind of a big feat, but I'm determined that everyday will be a good hair day, everyday I will have soft glowing skin and everyday I will be dressed to kill! 

First, I'm going to tackle the hair. I have kind of unruly, frizzy prone and dull hair, but this...

Being the crafty chick that I am, I love to check out crafting blogs, stores and even books for ideas and inspiration. I started hearing about Washi Tape around the blogosphere and had to check out it out for myself. Washi Tape is a decorative, Japanese masking tape that been gaining popularity because of how multi-purpose it is. In fact, just check out this gallery of...

This past Easter weekend, the sun was shining and I was feeling the spring weather. My family gathered together for our traditional Easter dinner and my mother, who is not usually the Martha Stewart type (unless she is reading this, which in that case I have to say that Martha Stewart actually calls her for advice), made these fabulous sour cherry and processo cocktails for everyone. It was the...

I'm always on the lookout for ways to do anything on the cheap and easy. When whatever I am creating is not only cheap, fast and simple but also environmentally friendly, well then, that's what I call the jackpot! Lately, I've been scouring the internet for ideas on how to make an eco-friendly household cleaner and I came across this gem from blog Homemade Mamas that was...

Hello, my name is Alexandra and I have crazy, curly, frizzy, unruly, never-listens-to-me hair. Fortunately for me, I was able to experience an amazing blowout with Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light at Shagg Salon right here in Toronto

I kept hearing about how this product would turn my hair silky and smooth and I thought, 'Really? Really? You haven't met my hair yet!'

However, I...

Recently, Rihanna took to the red carpet for the premiere of the film Battleship in Tokyo wearing a silk pyjamas-esque suit by Pucci. That's right, she rocked the red carpet wearing, pyjamas. When I first heard this, I was a bit taken aback. I mean, shouldn't the red carpet be some sort of style sanctuary where one must always look their best? Then again I thought, if you're going...

I've said this before but I am a big fan of Easter. Well, actually I am a big fan of Cadbury Creme Eggs but those come out at Easter which means, in turn, I am a very big fan of Easter. I love all the preparation that goes into Easter, the decorating, the food and of course, the chocolate! I rounded up some of the best, most creative ideas I could find for this Easter season, but the fabulous...

Easter is one of my favourite holidays, I think it's because there is so much fun decorating and preparation that goes into it. There's the Easter dinner with the family to cook, the chocolate to buy and of course, the eggs to dye! No matter how old I get, this will forever be one of my favourite things. Recently, while browing the internet, I came across a neat little trick for a new way...

Before we get into this, I think we all need to take a minute to appreciate the superwoman that is Beyonce. I feel like she was pregnant for about a nanosecond, had the baby and then came out looking like a supermodel the next day. She must be a wizard, there is no other explanation. 

Now getting into this specific look. Beyonce has been out and about recently wearing lots of colour and...
