Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThough the Eat Local movement has been popular for some time, drinking local isn't as often considered when choosing wine. Yet Canada has so much to offer from our wine regions. People come from all over the world to visit the Okanagan Valley and the Niagara region to sample our famous cold climate wines. Ice wine is an obvious winner in Ontario, but you may be surprised to...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI used to think that dressing well meant you had a fancy top and stylish bottoms or a nice dress. But my husband taught me that simple basics like white or black t-shirts and tank tops go a looong way. They are easy to accessorize and you don't look too 'try' - you get me?
On Fridays after work, I like to go on a date with my two boys. We usually go out for dinner...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basToday was an interesting day. It started with my baby picking out what I should wear to work. He pointed at my closet and when I asked him what I should wear, he lunged for this dress. I think he chose well. Agreed?
I was pretty sore all day because I got to 5:20 for wall sit on Monday. I was pretty proud of myself until George told me that Beauty Editor (who he also...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI'd like to say that since becoming a Mom my skincare regimen has simplified, but that would be a lie. Despite having less time to take care of my skin, I'm using a lot more products these days. Since my boy is both a night owl and an early bird, I don't get a lot of sleep and it shows. I need all the help I can get from serums, eye creams and moisturizers. I have...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIt's no secret we are caffeine junkies here at ChickAdvisor H.Q; and the $2 drink at 2 from Sense Appeal is a total enabler. In the picture below that, you will see the lovely Aliza Chagpar, who has just been crowned our newest Intern. Aliza has been a ChickAdvisor member for some time, so she had us at 'hello'. Of course I had to take pictures of her outfit and those...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basToday was one of those days where my mind and reality were not in synch. While my mind told me I could totally handle all of my appointments, a workout and prepping for a party, reality was I was late for all of it and today was unbelievably hot. Crazy hot weather makes every task more challenging because sweating (and usually, swearing) is involved.
I wore an outfit that exactly...

I have to admit it: I love my new job. While I’m still a regular part of the ChickAdvisor team, I now have a pint-sized Mini-Me in charge of my daily schedule. One who stops traffic with his bi-toothed grin and cheerful “Agoo?”

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI consider myself to be fairly sun savvy. Six years working in the beauty industry have ensured I always apply a facial lotion with SPF in the mornings and keep a stash of wide brimmed hats by the door. You will never catch me sunbathing. Yet somehow, I get burned every summer. I've also noticed a fair amount of pigmentation around my hairline and on my cheeks that is...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI saw this in a magazine listed as a top tip of designers. It's something I've never heard of before, but apparently painting the inside of a black lampshade shocking pink or red is not only a design statement, it creates softer mood lighting. Since I'm such a newbie to this whole D.I.Y business, I thought this fool-proof project had my name all over it. I got a gorgeous...
