What's better than scaring yourself silly and eating huge amounts of candy? Nothing. However, when you get past the age of about 13, apparently it's no longer "cool" to come to work or school dressed in costume for Halloween. 

Ugh. Grown ups, right? 

Though it's tempting to show up to work all decked out in your best zombie costume, it may not be appropriate. While you...

Revison Rhinoplasty #3
It has been a week since my cast came off and I am so relieved to tell you that everything turned out fantastically. My first impression when they handed me the mirror was that it looked puffy. Then I looked closer and thought 'Is one nostril now slightly bigger than the other? and 'Are my nostrils more flared?'. Even though I've been through this 3 times, it's still a shock to...

Not too long ago, I confessed my worst beauty secret: I almost never clean my brushes. However, I recently invested in a stippling brush for my foundation, so I've been trying to take better care of my brushes. Instead of just purchasing cheapies upon cheapies and tossing them when they're dirty,...

When I got asked to attend the Bachelor Canada brunch hosted by Rimmel London Canada, I figured that I would be staring starry-eyed at a good looking man for an hour or so, and I was right! But I also picked up some notes from the Canadian Bachelor himself, Brad Smith. The first ever all-Canadian Bachelor had a goal (besides finding love, obviously) to break boundaries with a reality television...

Runway models are gorgeous. They have perfect skin, bone structure and out of this world features. So basically, they are aliens. Seriously, I once saw Coco Rocha on the street and she didn't even look like she was part of the human race. That's how gorgeous she was. So, when a model wears a particularly avant garde look on the runway, for the most part they 'werk it'. Oh...

I Just Had My Third Rhinoplasty
This is exactly how I look with my cast on, only more glamorous.

The surgery is over and I am still alive.  I'm also high.  The drugs they used to put me under are pretty intense.  When I walked into the room to have my surgery I was literally trembling with fear.  And I cried.  And considered throwing up.  All I remember is the good doctor saying, "Let's get...

So with that in mind, I wanted to make sure that...
