Summer is slowly coming with more overcast and rainy days then sunny warm beach days. However a few weeks ago we got a few days that finally felt like summer. What a better way to enjoy a summer day then walking on the boardwalk.

This year is just going way to fast for me, its already mid June!! So I know I am already a little late to game for this months faves but I thought better a little then not at all. For this month I really don't have to many. If you are interested in any of the products mentioned here just click on the picture or the link below for shopping details. Hope you enjoy!

Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Mask

$92 CAD

Who doesn't want to put 24k Gold on there face! This is great mask for lifting and firm, and for those days that you just want to feel like a queen. With real gold and caffeine this will really helps aid in lifting and firming the skin leaving you feeling rejuvenated.

Perricone MD Blue Plasma Cleansing Treatment

$48 CAD

For my morning routine I prefer the simpler the better. Once the alarm rings I hit the snooze button 5 more times (sleep for me trumps having a great morning routine.) I would always be the worst for morning skin care until this came into my life. This is a great cleansing treatment that requires no rinsing and makes you're skin feel clean and fresh. Apply with a cotton pad to the face followed by your moisturizer and you are good to go! So lets just hit the snooze just one more time.

Hourglass Ambient Bronzer Luminous Bronze

$60 CAD

Who doesn't love the Hourglass Ambient line? I was so excited to see when they came out with bronzers for the summer. These are amazing to give you the right amount of glow for the summer without having to much shimmer or being to orange. I prefer to apply this with a big fluffy brush all over the face focusing on the area's that the sun would hit naturally.

Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Duo

$45 CAD

I have recently fallen in love with this little duo. I haven't really been contouring a lot with it but the highlight in this has been my go to. The pearl pink is great as a highlight for the check bones and brows. I have been reaching for this on the daily.

Mumford & Sons Wilder Mind

$29.99 CAD

Mumford and Sons really changed it up this time around. Deciding to leave the acoustic sound behind and evolve to more electric with more electric guitars vs banjos and it really paid off. I will have to admit it sound even better on vinyl which made me fall in love with this album even more. My favourite song from the whole album is Believe. I have that one on repeat whenever I can!

Hope you enjoyed my favourites!

noreply@blogger.com (Christina) — Sat, 13 Jun 2015 01:34:00 +0000

This week I came across some great links that I wanted to share with all of you. Some funny, some practical, and some insightful. Let me know if you like these kind of post and I will do more!

I have always struggled with getting a full restful night sleep. I will just stay up with my mind running wild with what didn't get done, what needs to get done, and the good ol' whats ifs... So lately I've been trying guided meditations at night to relax my mind. There are a bunch of great apps out there if you need a little help, I have been using iSleep Easy app. This article really talks about the benefits and how to start!

With summer comes travel and holiday's, this is a great place to go for all the essentials you will need when packing for holiday.

Street style is my favourite and this article shows how style really changed with the very first "Street Style" photos.

With the new Entourage movie coming out let's look back at some of the best Ari Gold quotes.

I am so excited for this, I have been re watching the series everyday!!!!

February Favorites

noreply@blogger.com (Christina) — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 01:08:00 +0000

Well its that time again that we all wait for, monthly favourites! We all crowd around our monitors and TV's to read and watch what everyone has been loving last month. So who would I be to deny this from you. I myself is one like you who gets excited at month end waiting and refreshing my feeds to see what I need to try the next month.
So please keep reading into what I have been using non stop last month!

Lets start with the base for flawless skin which would be skin care.

Skin care is so important if you want glowing youthful look skin. Make up is only a temporary fix to the problem, almost like a band aid. These products have been getting me through this tough winter in Canada.

{Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collegen Booster $60 CAD}

This serum has five sources of Vitamin C complex which helps natural collagen production and reduces the appearance of fine lines and in turn brightens the skin. This is meant for the morning and the nice light citrus scent is a great energizer for the morning.

{Ole Henriksen Invigorating Night Treatment $56 CAD}

The Invigorating Night treatment is just that invigorating. This treatment of essential vitamins and minerals helps natural cell turnover which helps smooth appearance. It is an amazing treatment for the winter time when your (at least mine) skin does't really know what it wants to do. It also is very invigorating as you can feel it working in spots that may need more help then others.

{Fresh Black Tea Firming Overnight Mask $108 CAD}

Fresh just released there newest addition to the black tea family and I am now hooked. This is an moisturizing overnight mask that works in turn with your natural skins recovery at night time. The end result is a lifted and firmer look by the time you wake up in the morning.

{Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 $26 CAD}

This Fresh lip treatment is intensely moisturizing, and not only that but can protect your lips year round from UV rays. Made with Sugar that can actual prevent moisture loss and a blend of amazing natural oils and lots more of naturals ingredients.

{Naked Basics 2 $34 CAD}

This palette is not new but is amazing if your looking for great matte nude shade. All of these shades are perfect to create a gorgeous natural day look that can be easily transformed to night. The small size and great sized mirror makes this palette perfect for travel (hence why it doesn't look that prefect anymore due to dropping it while away.)

{Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner $26 CAD}

The Stila eyeliner has now become one of my all time favourite eyeliners and the only one that I can achieve an winged eye. Besides that it truly does stay all day without moving till night time when I take my make up off.

{Urban Decay Naked Skin $45 CAD}

Urban Decay not to long ago released there line for foundations, and they are AMAZING. I absolutely love this foundation since first trying it I have re bought it twice. This is a medium to full coverage foundation. However with a little of fix plus sprayed on the foundation brush could sheer it out to light sheer coverage. I just the versatility of the foundation with a flat matte finish but its never dull at the same time with a weightless feel.

{Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography $19.44 CAD}

Its NPH AND its a Choose your own adventure style book that is also his autobiography.

Who wouldn't love that!

I usually like making playlist on Spotify with what I have been listening to during the month. However this month I just couldn't stop listening to one artist would came out with a new album. Drakes new album "If you're reading this its too late" came out as a surprise album and its just to good. CLICK HERE TO Listen if you like Drake!

Photos of Summers Past

noreply@blogger.com (Christina) — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 02:03:00 +0000

So guys, this summer just flew by! I still can't believe it is September 3rd today, where did the summer go?! Lots of big changes have happened to Adam and I this summer. We both have started new jobs and have been insanely busy with those.The down fall of having such a big change is that we haven't had a second to really do a lot on our summer list.

I also apologize about my lack of blogging as well. With this change for me I haven't really had a second for really anything.

This post is dedicated to what I was able to do this summer through photos. I really wanted to film a lot of it but just couldn't get a second to upgrade my camera (my current one really need to be upgrade to have better quality videos for you.)

Hope you enjoy!

Let me know in the comments what you'r favourite part of the summer was!

Nothing better then lounging poolside!

Happy Canada Day.

Went strawberry picking for the first time. What a amazing time, the fields smelt so amazing!

Also went for a little wine taste / posable wedding venue. This little phone booth (that actually worked!) was so cute in the middle of the vineyard.

Went on my first "business trip" for a week of training in Ottawa.

To end the summer with a splash, I got nominated for the icy cold ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. This was such a great campaign to raise funds and awareness. If your not to sure what it is go to ALS.ca to find out more info!

Hope everyone had a great summer!

July Faves!

noreply@blogger.com (Christina) — Thu, 31 Jul 2014 02:30:00 +0000

Its that time of month again! Its the happy time when everyone tells everyone what they have loved for the past month. I don't have a whole lot of newness this month, but I thought I would share the few things that I have been loving.

The first thing that I have loved is the Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil. This stuff has been a god send this summer. A few weeks ago I managed to get a pretty awesome sunburn just on my hip on the left side. Since that happened I had been applying this stuff constantly, day and night and the result was no peeling and a great tan. The down fall it wasn't really soothing however its not meant for this but it really helped with keeping my skin moisturized. As well the smell is amazing!!

Mask of Magnaminty from Lush has done wonders for my skin. This summer my skin has been on a roller coaster weather its sun burns or dryness/ oil / ruff texture of my face. This mask was amazing to get my face back in normal working order. The mask is also an exfoliantent when you wash it off. It pulls all the bad stuff to top and unclogs your pores. It also has a cooling effect due to the mint which is amazing for the summer and the smell is minty coco heaven.

My faves would not be complete with out my favourite YouTuber! This month it is the one and only Alife Deyes who does a bunch of great videos weather its video games, daily vlogs, or just all around crazy videos he is great. The past week he just celebrated five years of being on YouTube which is crazy! Go check him out on YouTube and subscribe!!

Thats it for this month.

Everyday Hero

noreply@blogger.com (Christina) — Wed, 23 Jul 2014 16:00:00 +0000

Today's post is kind of a last minute thought. I was originally going to post a relationship post but I may save that one for another day. I was struck with inspiration yesterday while watching YouTube when Kid President came up in my sub feed. This little guy is beyond inspirational and always makes me so happy.

This new episode he talks about heroes and how everyone is a hero. It really got me thinking as to whom really influenced my life and who I would call as heroes.

The biggest hero that I have encountered in my life would go with out a doubt my mother. This women has been through so much that most people would be torn down by whereas she still stands tall and laughs it off. From leaving an horrible relationship, being a single mother, having everything to next to nothing, and fighting breast cancer and winning the battle she is the definition of super women in my eyes. She is the kind of person who doesn't care who you are, or what you do, if you need the shirt off her back she would that. I am beyond blessed to have someone of such strength to look up too and that I can only dream to have her strength one day!

The other biggest hero in my life would have to be my amazing fiancée Adam. He has been by my side for six years now supporting me through every decision I make. He reminds me everyday of how proud he is of me no matter how small the goal might have been. Asides from supporting me he has such a caring and giving personality that he is another person who could careless of how much or little money you make, he believes everyone has a story and battle that they are fighting.

These are just two heroes that I get to encounter everyday who make me so blessed to have them.

Who are the biggest heroes in your life?

Let them know how much they have impacted you!

Bookcase Styling

noreply@blogger.com (Christina) — Wed, 09 Jul 2014 16:00:00 +0000

The one thing I always seem to have trouble with when it comes to interior design is bookcases. I currently have two big cases in my entryway and one in my office.

These shelves always end up being clutter magnets. It seems like the right place to just throw any book, magazine, or video games with out any effort to make it look neat. This is one project I want to work on in the summer, to really style the bookcases in the entryway.

Source

I always love how in magazines and decor sites everything is neat and organized and not just a jumbled mess of books. The one main thing I have been noticing when observing these photos is how everything is kinda mixed. Its just not books, you also have meaningful photos and china on display as well.

Source

The biggest rule of thumb is contrast, as you look at this photo you can plainly see the contrast of black and gold. As well in other photos you have colour blocking with the different books you may have.

Source

Bookcases are just not to store books any more, they are now being used to showcase pieces. I love how these people showcased there collections of globes on the tops of the bookcase. As the summer goes on my plan is to pick up a few odds and ends that would be great piece to show off!

So whats your favourite way to style a bookcase or shelves in your home?

June Faves

noreply@blogger.com (Christina) — Wed, 02 Jul 2014 22:12:00 +0000

Okay can I just take a moment and ask where is the time going!? I feel like I am constantly been saying this everyday but still don't have any answers. June has came and went way to fast! Well lets just get into it shall we and talk about some faves that I have been loving!

St Tropez Sunless Tanner mousse

I have been utterly obsessed with this stuff now. Im the kind of girl that enjoys the summer and the warmth but can not just lay there soaking up the rays. This is where st tropez comes in handy! You just need to apply this a few time a week then before you know it you will be a golden goddess!

Hoola Benefit bronzer

On the same topic of being a golden goddess this bronzer is really as amazing as everyone says it is. I kept hearing so many great things so i thought to finally give it a try. I have always found it was hard to find the perfect bronzer for contouring. I find it even harder when i am so fair, so its nearly impossible to find a good one that doesn’t make you look muddy. This one is just perfect for when I am fair or tan depending how much you use! This is defiantly worth the hype.

Soap & Glory Lemon and brown sugar scrub

To conclude this golden goddess post about june faves this scrub is just fab. It smells amazing. It just has a hint of lemon scent with a bit of a sugary undertone to it. In order to have a fab tan you must exfoliate so that is the main reason why I pop this guy in my basket to try. I love when you just grab a random item just cause you need it and it turns out to be amazing! I will most diffently be keeping this guy around and re-buying when I run out!

Zoella Youtuber

Zoella Sugg is the cutest you tuber ever! I have been watching her for some time now. For the whole month of June she had been vlogging everyday. Im really hoping she keeps up with the vlogs, I really enjoy following her around (that does’t sound creepy at all) during the day. She just finished up at VidCon and it looked amazing!

What have you guys been loving this month?
