{STYLE} SUMMER SUN

 A cute dress, some summer sun, and a cold lemonade you really can't ask for anything better for strolls around the city. 

{STYLE} PJS

Pajamas are an endless battle for me. My 5"7 frame appears to be much too tall for a size small pj, and I honestly don't know what you tall girls do. Also because I sleep in jersey sheets the material is a big thing for me too. I often get tangled while tossing and turning. I'm sure we've all been there., but finally I found a pair that fit just right.

DANIEL WELLINGTON COMES TO HALIFAX (+ GIVEAWAY)

Some might argue that the days of the wrist watch are long gone. Much like the land lines and rotary phones (if you can remember them) of yesteryear we've quickly replaced these items with our beloved smart phones. Time and time again we make the argument why do I need a watch I have a clock right here.

Well I'm here to tell you blog reader that I once was one of those people (mostly because I had this weird thing where I killed watch batteries as fast as I took breaths, but that's beside the point) I never wore a watch, and I often prided myself on not wanting to wear watch because I didn't want to feel rushed or knowing what time it was (yeah yeah I know I was young okay). That was until....

SPA DAY WITH INDEED LABS + GIVEAWAY

Do you ever just want to slough it all off, and start a-new? Experts suggest we should get facials 4 times a year (at least) or when the seasons change, but who has time for that? I know I've been really slacking on my skincare routine lately with all my traveling, and it being... well--summer.

These goodies from the Indeed Labs™  (a Canadian brand available exclusively at Shoppers Drug Mart) couldn't have come at a better time. Having just landed back in town after an extended weekend getaway, and gearing up for another I was tight for time in terms of deadlines, but I decided to make an extra effort to get my skin back on track and give these products a go.
