If you’ve followed my shenanigans for a while – you know that I’m no stranger to taking on a new city solo. I don’t mind being alone – it’s grounding for me to be away from other people and just be with myself. In fact, it’s my way of recharging. It’s one of the reasons […]

I’m always on the hunt for new products to test out – but more importantly, I’m more interested in what products are worth keeping around.

Here is my current round-up of full-face favourites.

Enjoy!

I thought one could only “win” at meditation if you sat there like a Buddhist monk, completely at peace with zero thoughts going through your head. That was unattainable for me, so I quit – because I’m really going at not doing things that I’m not good at.

You feel me?

While you may feel like you’re not able to turn on the lightbulb on command, I’ve got a few helpful tips that I’ve learned over the years to boost your creativity when you feel like you’re stuck in a rut.

Call your girls and get going to the city that never sleeps.

This is #TheGirlsTripSeries.

While it’s unlikely you’ll be able to experience this entire city over the span of a weekend, it is likely you’ll fall in love with it’s charm and energy that LA has to offer.

Whether this is your first trip to the City of Angels, or a friendly trip back to a place that’s starting to feel like home – there’s always something new to do here.

Grab your girls, and let’s kick this series off.

Welcome to #TheGirlsTripSeries.

A couple weeks ago, myself and my group of girlfriends looked at each other with serious faces and said “enough is enough, we have to stop going out so much”.
