Feeling the Winter Blues
Wednesday, February 20, 2013
I know there is still snow on the ground (and small/large blizzards happening every week), and while it has been a great winter this year for outdoor activities, I'm just about ready to say goodbye to my bulky TNA coat, mitts and boots.
Lately I've been feeling the winter blues; there is nothing worse than getting dressed for a night out on the town and being surprised with 20 centimetres of snow. It really hit me yesterday and I knew I had to make a change... starting with my wardrobe. This week I will be getting rid of all the fall/winter shades in my closet and brightening it up with colour. Lots and lots of it.
Okay, enough with the moping... back to the style part of this post.
Considering how busy my daily schedule is with work, events and of course, making time for family and friends, I usually plan my outfits for the blog ahead of time and get them photographed (thanks Maria!) so they're ready for the month. A lot of times I don't even get a chance to publish some outfits for various reasons. Today I'm sharing two looks that I put together (and definitely wore) this season.

My Experience at Privé Spa in Toronto (+ giveaway)
Friday, February 1, 2013
For years, doing my nails has been a Sunday night routine while catching up on TV shows and downloading new tunes for my iPod - all of these items help me prepare myself for the week ahead. However a while back I was invited to spend a relaxing evening at Privé Spa in Toronto to get a complimentary manicure and pedicure, and I just couldn't pass that up.
Conveniently located by College and Dufferin (1039 College Street), this spa is a gem. The ladies working that evening greeted me so nicely and offered me beverages and snacks to munch on while I enjoyed a hand massage and foot scrub, but it's not something they did just for me - Privé Spa offers complimentary drinks to all of their guests.
Aside from manicures and pedicures, Privé Spa offers a variety of services including facials, massages, hair techniques, hair removal options, makeup application, body treatments, electrolysis, acupuncture and more.
One thing to note is their location hours, and yes, they are open seven days a week! Most spas and hair salons are usually closed on Sundays and/or Mondays, but Privé Spa uses that to their advantage.
How many times have you wanted to get a hair cut on a Sunday afternoon but couldn't because the salon was closed?!
Currently Privé Spa has some really cool Valentine's Day promotions. I don't know about you, but a 75-minute Rose Essential Oil body massage and facial + wash and blow out while sipping on a glass of pink champagne sounds pretty amazing to me. You can view other promotions here.
Giveaway: $50 Gift Certificate to Privé Spa!
I have partnered with the generous people over at Privé Spa to offer one lucky reader a $50 gift certificate. I'm opening the contest up to anyone who is able to get to and from the spa (it also helps that there is no expiration date).
