When I get asked questions like "what are your goals for this year" or "what are you hoping to achieve this year", my answer always leads back to that one word I LOVE referring back to; my favourite word to use and describe all things in life, my answer to everything positive and good: H… Continue reading THEORY OF HAPPINESS
COLD, COLDER, FREEZING!
I'm not going to lie; Ottawa has been VERY COLD! We've been dealing with negative temperatures every day (and night) and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. I'm not complaining though so don't get me wrong, I'm just stating the obvious and preparing anyone who plans on visiting the area. It really… Continue reading COLD, COLDER, FREEZING!
HELLO 2019
Time flies - I can’t believe it’s already 2019. I honestly feel like it was just Christmas 2017 and we were on our Louisiana/Tennessee adventure. I can still smell the pulled pork at Jack’s Bar-B-Que in Nashville! YUM! Now is the time to look back on this last year; smile at all of the memories,… Continue reading HELLO 2019

In between the 6 course meals, holiday movie marathons, and tears of joy laughter with family and friends, I always try to find some time for myself during the Holiday season.

FINALLY YOU ARE MINE KYLIE COSMETICS!

If you check my browser history it's basically all cosmetics + beauty pages - from makeup to skin care and everything in between. I think maybe it's a coming of age thing; like, moisturizing my face and neck… Continue reading FINALLY YOU ARE MINE KYLIE COSMETICS!
L O N D O N IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA
I think it's safe to say that the United Kingdom is one of my favorite places to travel to four main reasons: Family! Shopping! SHOPPING! Shopping! Direct flight from Ottawa to London! + MANY direct and inexpensive flights from the UK to many major cities in Europe! It's a BEAUTIFUL country; from the heart of… Continue reading L O N D O N IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA
THE POWER OF PRODUCTIVITY
#theSUNDAYcollective I truly love Sundays basically because they give me the time I need to think; to reflect on the week; and to look forward on what is to come for the next week {or even weeks ahead}. Being able to have that personal time; one on one with yourself; allows you to reflect on… Continue reading THE POWER OF PRODUCTIVITY
HOMEMADE SWEET POTATO AUTUMN SOUP
Soups make for a great meal option anytime during the year; but in my opinion, the best time is during the colder months - specifically autumn and fall. I find that by springtime I'm tired of all the soups and hot meals and am just aching to start the BBQ and salad diet! One of… Continue reading HOMEMADE SWEET POTATO AUTUMN SOUP
BLACK + WHITE #OOTD
Don't you just LOVE when all of your blacks match? I mean; I know black is black but, do you ever find that your favorite pair of black denim {which you've probably washed 50 times or more} no longer matches your favorite leather jacket? And, what about your shoes - why do they look so… Continue reading BLACK + WHITE #OOTD
