Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWith all the foodie talk I do, it shouldn't be a surprise that I love delicious food. Because food and I are so tight, I eat out a lot. It's a fun adventure for me! I love trying new things and there is nothing more satisfying for me than checking off a restaurant on my 'To Try' list. The only problem with this is that it can get pretty pricey.
It occurred to me that if I...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWhat would fall be without the pumpkin? For one thing, it's an integral part of the epic meal that is Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving wouldn't be right without pumpkin pie. Pumpkins also happen to be a part of one of my favourite holidays: Halloween! Plus, would Halloween even have the same effect if Jack O' Lanterns didn't exist? Because the pumpkin is such a huge part of the...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basAs the wind is getting a little nippy these days, I did a recent 'back of the closet' haul to take out all of my stored away, big bulky sweaters. Of course, every year there are always one or two sweaters that as I pull out, I think to myself, 'yup, this one has seen better days'.

I am about to freak you out. Here goes: Thanksgiving (for us Canadian chicks) is only about two weeks away. I KNOW, RIGHT?
But hey, it's cool. You know why? Two words: Pumpkin. Pie. I love me some pumpkin pie and I love me a great, cleansing face mask. And this got me thinking, can I fuse my two loves together? Which brings me to today's DIY...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basLet's be honest with each other for a sec. I (and I think can safely say we) don't wash my (our) hair everyday. Some days, it might even be a little oily (gasp!). I would like to say that my disdain for hair washing comes from a strict beauty routine and not wanting to strip my hair of it's natural oils. The truth is far less glamorous though, it boils down to pure laziness.
