Today I wanted to share some great online shopping sites that I’ve used and that may be new to you. It’s always good to know if an online shop is trust worthy as I’ve been close to ordering on a few sites a few time only to remember to first google the reviews and read…

September Faves – The Perfect Fall Nail Polish, Vegan Snacks and Time Travel (?)
It’s finally Autumn, isn’t it wonderful?! On Sunday I took a long drive up by the University of British Columbia. The campus trees are already turning in colour, the sun was shining and down by Spanish Banks, people were jogging along the seawall, families were picnic-ing and Fall is in the air. Two more sleeps…
Autumn Wardrobe Update: H&M Clothing Haul
“If a year was tucked inside of a clock, then autumn would be the magic hour.” With sweater weather just around the corner I wanted to share a few simple ways I’ve updated my wardrobe for the coming season. I received a 20% discount code from H&M recently and used it to purchase a few…
How To Hygge In The Summer
7 days of sunshine is what the weather report was as of yesterday. Guess they were wrong, again! I can’t imagine having to predict the weather on the Pacific Northwest Coast.

January Favourites – Romantic Vintage Fashion, Books and CBD Skincare.

What I Pack for A Beach Getaway: A Week In Cabo
We landed at YVR (Vancouver International Airport) at 6:42 PM. I could see low laying fog hovering over the runway from my seat. Just 4 hours earlier we were in Cabo San Lucas; blue skies, sunshine and palm trees. It’s always good to be home though. I spend today cleaning, doing laundry and taking down…
My August Favourites – Free Yoga, BC Books & The Return Of Baby Phat.
It’s a very hot August day. We just did a power walk and I’m getting ready to make dinner: my version of cabbage rolls with yam mash (recipe blog to come). These are the things I’ve been loving recently. Bye Bye Sun Damage Biologique Recherche PIGM 400 Lotion has been around since the 70’s but…
What I Loved In August
The sun is shining brightly through the windows, even as it nears setting. September first arrived and the temperature dipped noticeably. We were up at the house in Cultus Lake this weekend. Every year my fiancee’s family spends a week at the “cabin”, a palatial home built with the true feeling of the Pacific Northwest…
