In my neighbourhood it is customary to leave things you no longer need at the end of your driveway for anyone to take. It's a great way to get quality stuff for free. I've seen everything from gently used strollers to solid wood coffee tables, sofas, chairs, bicycles, books and random odds and ends. Sidebar: I...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI saw this idea in a design magazine a year ago that I think was Canadian House & Home and it struck me as so stupid simple, even an all thumbs person like myself could do it. They used it as an accent piece in an upstairs hallway but I bought such a big piece of canvas I only had room for it in the living room.
All of the supplies were from an art store that was having a sale on...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basNow that summer is upon us, it's time to bust out the shorts and bare those legs! Only, as any girl can attest to, this comes with a whole slew of issues. Most notably, the bumps and ingrown hairs that can arise thanks to the contraption that is the razor. This is doubly annoying if you have sensitive skin like myself. Nothing says 'sexy legs' like ingrown hairs, am I right...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basLately I can't get enough of D.I.Y home projects. That's partly because being at home with a baby has made me a little obsessed with 'feathering my nest'. Everything needs to be stylish and organized or it just doesn't sit right. It's almost instinctual. In the early spring I cleaned my closet. Now I'm decorating.
This project is fun and easy to do. It should take you...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI have one very dirty little secret when it comes to my beauty routine: I rarely clean my brushes. It's kind of embarrassing to admit. I'm not sure if this makes a difference but I swear I'm not a dirty gross person you guys, I'm just super lazy when it comes to that sort of thing.
I confess that I know that I should clean my brushes (and I'm sure Mandy will chastise me over and...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basMy denim shirt is one of my favourite, go-to pieces in my closet. They're so easy to wear because they go with just about anything. They're trendy but comfy and can be dressed up for a chic, sophisticated look or dressed down for a casual, weekend look.
I recently bought a sleeveless denim button down at a thrift shop for $1.50 (right???) and I thought to myself, 'hmmm, how can I...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIn this week's Pose Off, I put on my fave shoes of late: my bright pink Doc Martens. Now, if you've ever had a pair of Docs, you know how difficult they are to break in. Of course, Docs aren't the only shoes that are tough to break in. Heels, wedges, sandals...groan. I am secretly convinced there is a very evil shoe designer out there who hates women's feet. I...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWe're big fans of the nail sticker trend at ChickAdvisor. We love how easy they are to apply and how you can achieve gorgeous prints in just minutes. We've even used them to bling out a French mani! Of course, the downside to nail stickers is that you're limited to whatever designs are sold.
Well, not anymore! We came across this post on DIY nail stickers and we knew we had to...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basTell me if this scenario sounds familiar:
You've just splurged and purchased yourself a fancy new blush, bronzer or powder foundation. The packaging is pristine, the compact is still smooth and it almost looks too good to use. Then again, you really, really, really want to play around with your new beauty toy so you go ahead and dip your brush in. Only, your hand isn't as steady as...
