Hey friend. I hope your holidays were wonderful and you've had a great start to 2024. I'm starting the new year - and this first post of the year - with a new mindset. There's a question that's been lingering in my mind for quite some time, and I think, finally, I have...
November is here which means the holiday shopping season will be kicking into high gear. One of the seasonal sales I always wait for is the Sephora Savings Event. From now until November 6th, you can get 30% off Sephora Collection purchases and 10% off everything else (or more if you are a...
Hello! I've come back from our week-long vacation to Antwerp, Belgium and Amsterdam, the Netherlands (more on that soon) and was lucky enough to enjoy warm spring weather while I was there. Back here in Toronto, we still have snow on the ground so I was thrilled to have this brief break from...

"I think I'm having a midlife crisis", I said to my husband Sean as I washed a sink full of dirty dishes. "Ya think?" he responded, in that sarcastic tone that would normally offend and garner a death-stare from me, were he not the person that knows me best. The tone that implies...
