NOTE Cosmetics Launch in Canada

A popular brand from Europe recently joined us here in Canada, and it is NOTE Cosmetics! This vegan and environment-friendly makeup line is now available at select Rexall stores and I couldn't be more excited.

I had the opportunity to explore NOTE Cosmetics in detail at the Holiday Pop-Up at Richmond-Adelaide Centre a couple of weeks ago, and got a wonderful makeover by the lovely makeup artist, Christine Cho!

Side-Swept Braid & Loose Curls for this Holiday Season

WOW! I’m not sure what happened this year, but I can barely grasp that we’re SO close to Christmas and 2018 is around the corner.

Holiday Entertaining with Italpasta

I love hosting people at our condo! Large gatherings, dinners, sleepovers... you'd be surprised at how many people we can fit in our tiny 600 square foot condo.

While every occasion is a delight for us, December is where everything comes full circle and we love to have intimate dinner parties with our friends to enjoy good food, drinks and conversation. It's also a great way to wrap up the year!

Entertaining can be both fun and stressful. Lucky for us, Italpasta made the process a lot easier with their incredible offerings that inspired us to create quick recipes for a dinner.
