Christmas is my absolute favourite time of the year, and as far as I am concerned, that kicks off in September. I love stashing gifts away over the fall (and even earlier) to make sure that I get the best deals and the most perfect gifts. The only problem is sometimes I buy a gift and then forget about it...and end up buying that person more! One of my favourite sales to shop is Bay Days at The Bay, though I found that they had excellent sales leading into the entire holiday season. One thing I made sure to note was when Christmas trees and decor went on sale. Right now we have no where to s ..read more

I don't know how Christmas is already here, but yet here we are. These last few months have completely snuck up on me-- and if Christmas has caught you by surprise, no fear, because many of these goodies can be picked up by this crazy new concept called "Offline shopping". See, you go to the store, and then after paying leave with it right away! I know, a hilarious concept. My husband is nearly entirely reliant on Amazon Prime... but anyways, let's get into it! A quick note: Some items in this gift guide were gifted, and others purchased with my own money. Items with a * were gifted. St ..read more

Essie knows the way to my heart it through wearable neutrals. That, and any excuses to show off my ring.. I mean... nails.I've been playing around with the Essie Treat Love & Color line for the past few weeks and have been really impressed. I was surprised with a goodie bag with a nice selection of creams, sheers and shimmers and have instantly gravitated towards a few favourites. Those milky nudes and sparkly shimmers. ...my favourites. The Treat Love & Color line boasts stronger nails in just one week with 60% less peeling and 35% less breakage. Essie calls it "our first advance ..read more

I knew from the moment we got engaged (okay, like, years before we got engaged) that I wanted a photo booth at our wedding. Having been to countless influencer events, wedding events, and parties with photo booths, I always enjoyed getting silly pictures with friends. I loved the process of grabbing the tacky accessories, and taking a silly photo (or seven). But then the little strip of photos would end up crumpled in my purse at worst, and stuck on my fridge at best. Bride & Groom Feeling like a prince Once we got engaged I started to dedicate some time to researching out vendors, and ..read more

I just got back from my amazing honeymoon, and I will have lots to share about that on the blog soon, but today I wanted to get started on sharing all about my perfect Disney bachelorette! Now, I know I am a bit late on this, but I had no idea just how crazy the month leading up to the wedding would be, with a shower, lost luggage (more on that soon), packing for the honeymoon, and oh yeah, the whole getting married thing. And because I like to really fill up my plate, the day after I returned home from Disney, I started my dream job. Talk about a whirlwind! When we arrived I was thrilled ..read more

In mid-April I had my final bridal shower (and my wedding just a few days ago!)! Earlier in our engagement my future Mother-In-Law hosted a shower at her home outside the city for her friends, and my aunt hosted a wonderful afternoon tea at the Windsor Arms for our families. This most recent shower was hosted in our apartment's party room with all of my friends invited! I had always dreamed of a beautiful dessert table. Just something about them seem to luxurious, so beautiful, and so fun! I love walking the aisles at Homesense, both alone and with friends. They always have new fun product ..read more
