Grandma, As the days pass since we received the dreaded call, this gets worse. I can’t believe this is real. We made plans; you never break plans. You wouldn’t have left Grandpa behind. “Hello Sarah Lou!”, I can hear the joy in your voice. I’ve picked up my phone so many times to call, but I don’t want this to be real and I have no idea what to say to Grandpa. I cannot think
I have received many messages from you ( by the way – – I LOVE hearing from you) about my hair in a recent post. And I would like to tel you that I have an amazing hair routine and tricks but effortless messy wavy bedhead hair but it’s actually all in the number of times I wash my hair and how I condition and use products before blowdrying. This will not work for everyone
Are you a modern beauty? Do you keep up with the latest trends and fashions? Do you have a unique sense of style? Do you prefer natural/whatever is easy and feels good or do you enjoy getting dolled up? If you’re a career woman, busy mom, or involved in many extra-circulars it can be almost impossible to keep up with the latest – – never mind looking “fabulous” everyday. I recently scored a job at
Grandma, There are so many things that I could say about you, and none of them would do you any justice. You’re one of my favourite people. Ever. I will never be able to fully put into words how much you mean to me! I admire you so much. You have been through and accomplished so much in your life, and you are one of the most kind, strong and positive people I know. Your strength and perseverance
I love fashion, but the fashion industry seems to completely disregard the everyday woman. The highly anticipated New York Fashion Week once again barely acknowledged the average- dare we say “real”- woman in its display of haute couture. The “real” average woman now wears between a size 6 -18, according to new research from Washington State University, but new trends in sizes above size 6 were almost non-existent and plus-sized models like Ashley Graham were
Here are a few beauty secrets I’ve discovered over the years, mainly to save money but most importantly they actually work just as good as expensive products!

Dry skin – Mash up 1/2 ripe avocado and spread on dry skin – let sit for 15 minutes
I know, I know… you’re never supposed to ask this question. How rude! Our entire lives we are taught that we need to look, act and feel certain ways through media brain-washing, the environment we grow up in, our relationships, our friendships etc. But, what bothers me most is that by trying to change so many things about ourselves we are loosing who we were born to be. Look in the mirror tonight before bed
I’m a shopaholic – seriously, I LOVE shopping, fashion and never seem to enough clothes. I’m sure many of you can relate but, recently my friend from my favorite store in Kelowna (Frakas – check it out ladies) came over for a”closet cleanse”. Honestly, everyone needs to do this – it feels so good to look in my closet and only see the pieces I love. This experience changed my view on what to
“Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you.”~Ralph Marston Some days I feel like anything is possible – ready for anything! On other days I wish I could stay in bed forever. Can you relate? We all can.
