{Guest Post} Meredith Marks Trunk Show

By | |
6 Comments

Thanks to The Amazing Multi-Testing Mommy, I got the heads up on a Meredith Marks jewellery trunk show being held at Holt Renfrew, Bay and Bloor Toronto, from May 4th to 13th. I have to admit, I wasn’t that big a fan of Holt Renfrew, and pretty much avoided stepping even one toe into one of their stores. You see, the first thing people figure out about me (even before they learn my name) is that I’m plus sized, so my usual habit is to stay away from stores that cater to straight-size clothing only (why look at pretty that … Continue reading →

For seven years now, I have been rushing to get ready for the day. My first born was a very needy baby so I took showers and got ready for the day as fast as I possibly could. There were some days it was so crazy that I actually waited for my husband to come home from work to get ready.I have naturally curly hair (it was wavy before having children, now it’s CURLY!) and on days when I don’t have the time to use a blow dryer with an infuser, I have some simple tricks that I’d like to … Continue reading →

Ceralip by LA ROCHE-POSAY

LA ROCHE-POSAY has an amazing lip treatment called Ceralip that helps severely chapped lips.I really love how Ceralip feels going on – it isn’t too glossy, yet it is in a typical “glossy lip balm” tube. It definitely helps to keep my lips feeling moisturised. Every once in a while I get terrible cracks in the corners in my mouth that really hurt, unfortunately Ceralip didn’t fix those cracks any faster than my typical lip treatments, but it did provide relief to them. I used Ceralip over top of my regular lip colour (when I wear it) and on its … Continue reading →

Luved tops are created “for women by women” with all shapes and sizes in mind. Luved Clothing is designed to be used for casual daytime wear or more elegant evening wear and it comes in a variety of designs and colours. The majority of Luved Tops are made from the softest fleece I have ever felt! Because of its unique softeness, it does “shed” for the first few wears. However, after a handful of wash and dry cycles, the top gets softer and “sheds” much less becoming a super cozy, comfy, versatile and fun top! I absolutely love my Cole … Continue reading →

It’s that wonderful time of the year when many of us look into our wardrobes and wonder what on earth we are going to wear. There are holiday parties, work functions, friend parties and family gatherings, each with their own formalities. What do you prefer to wear? A cocktail dress perhaps? Do you prefer to wear short dresses or formal dresses, red dresses, black dresses or something a bit different? For me, if I am going to wear a dress, I much prefer to wear a formal, long dress. I love black dresses, but I also love the looks of … Continue reading →

A few months ago, I started talking to Be Prepared Period on twitter. They host a monthly #periodtalk and from there, I was introduced to Lunapads.com. I was very curious to try out Lunapads but I truly had no idea what to expect. I was excited at the prospect of not creating so much garbage waste during that time of the month. My pads arrived and I eagerly awaited for my period to come (how often does that happen?!) so that I could test out these new pads. Actually, I decided to try them out BEFORE my period came so … Continue reading →
