My Skincare and Makeup Routine

Good afternoon everyone!

Hope you're all enjoying your Monday so far! I decided to dedicate this next blog post to my skincare  regimen and makeup routine. I am really looking forward to spring and summertime so I can get out there and start working on my tan (not, I really don't tan ever) This winter has been extremely tough on my skin, throughout the months my skin has become very dry, and sensitive. I do however have a few tips and tricks I use to keep my skin in the best shape possible like:


  • Drink lots of water 
  • Eat a healthy diet, and try your best to avoid greasy foods
  • Manage stress, this is a huge one for college students but working out can be very beneficial 
  • If possible try and get a facial at the beginning of spring, and winter
  • Try for as much sleep as possible 

Also watch the makeup products you're using on your skin, as it can be quite heavy on the skin and make it hard for your pores to breathe. A fun fact about me is I actually don't wear any makeup day to day, I love letting my skin breathe and going for a more natural look. If I am feeling pale I won't resort to makeup but rather go to the spray tan booth to get that glow I'm looking for. When I wake up in the morning I cleanse and moisturize my skin, its a great way to start my day and wake up. Also, before bed I repeat that same process to wash the day off. I have very dry skin as I previously mentioned, so it has taken me a while to find that product that really does the trick. 

The product that leaves my skin glowing are: 

IS Clinical Cleansing Complex and IS Clinical Hydra Cool Serum. These products have completely transformed my skin and I have nothing but good things to say about them. For my Humber friends I am positive these products are available at the spa located in the school, if not I get mine from the spa back home! 

Hope you all have an amazing week! Once again if anyone has any questions please feel free to reach out to me on Instagram!

Animal Testing

Happy Monday everyone! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend, having that sunshine was definitely a bonus! I am here to write about something very dear to my heart, if you know me you know my love and passion towards animals. I have grown up with animals since I was a very young, I even got my first pony when I was 3. Which is why animal testing is very hard for me to witness, and why I continue to take a stand on this topic. I feel like a lot of us, myself included are unaware of how common this really is throughout the fashion industry in regards to makeup and beauty products. I often research to update my information and I have been shocked as to what I ave found, some of my favourite places to shop or use their soap or makeup have been taken off my shopping list. These are some of the companies who test on animals: Estee Lauder  Clinique  Victoria Secret  Makeup Forever  O.P.I Benefit  M.A.C Although there are just a few there are many more ...

My Closet

Good afternoon everyone,  Have you ever passed someone on the street and thought wow I love their top? I am here today to discuss some of my favourite stores, and where I purchase the majority of my clothing. I love dressing both casual and classy but it can be hard to do on a student budget. However there are tons of places that allow you to find that one gorgeous piece to transform your wardrobe. I am lucky that I live in Toronto Ontario where I attend the Fashion Arts and Business program, although I am close enough to downtown I don't venture off campus often. I prefer to stay in the area, and like to spend my Mondays, at either Sherway Gardens or Vaughn Mills.   I am a definite shop-a-holic and have a wide range of stores where I collect my clothing. I hate to admit this but my favourite clothes often come from Urban Planet, I can always find a cute garment for a reasonable price and be able to dress it up with some fancier accessories. In almost every instagr...
