Nothing Like Some R&R 0

A little R&R does wonders to cure stress. Well, at least temporarily! Wait a second, I’m not talking about rest and relaxation, I’m talking about Rachel Roy, one of my favourite designers. The simplicity and uniqueness of her pieces always hit a soft spot. Here are the newest pieces that have found there way in [...]

All-Natural Almond Butter 0

A while ago I tried all-natural peanut butter and fell in love. No salt, no preservatives, just peanuts and so delicious! I think that since I have made the switch from the preservative-ladden to the kind with just one ingredient, my obsession with peanut butter has got even worse. So it’s no surprise that I [...]

Simple Things! 0

Ohhhh, it’s been a while. Life has been a busy thing for me ever since the beginning of the year. With all the changes in my life, it’s been a challenge finding balance in my work life, personal life and everything in between. And throughout these ups and downs, one tends to lose sight of [...]

Sunny Sunday 0

I love Sunday mornings. The moment I wake up I feel like time is standing still. And for me, it’s the only day that it is since Saturdays are usually filled with errands and cleaning and organizing and planning and… well, you get the idea. Last Sunday was so wonderful. Not only did I wake [...]

Buttermilk Quick Bread! 0

To some, the term “quick bread” might seem like somewhat of an oxymoron. The kneading, the time to rise, time to bake… there’s nothing quick about baking a loaf of bread.

Spring Colours! 0

Last week Montreal got a really great glimpse into what spring has to offer. The warmer weather melted most of the snow and suddenly, layers were coming off, boots we replaced with spring shoes and the sunglasses were out! Then a storm came and dropped 20 cm of snow on the city. So now we [...]

Deborah Lippmann Strips! 2

Ok ok, so I realize that the title of this post is quite misleading, but it’s not entirely untrue! Last week I was sent the newest addition to the Deborah Lippmann nail collection by nailpolishcanada.com to test out and review, The Stripper To Go Nail Lacquer Remover Finger Mitts.

Happy Valentine’s Day! 0

Despite Valentine’s Day being branded a Hallmark holiday, I have to admit that I’m a sucker for this day. Pinks, reds and whites adorn heart, candies and flowers in honor of love! What could be more beautiful!? In a world plagued by bad news and hate, today is the one no-excuse day to show someone [...]

Cinnamon Brown Butter Puffs! 0

What a delicious name! “Puffs”… it just sounds so divine and yummy! Well guess what! They are! Somehow, each time I commit myself to eating right and limiting sweets, coincidentally it’s always around the same time I’ll run into a recipe like this. Warm, light, fluffy puffs covered in brown butter and cinnamon goodness…. mmmmmmm! [...]
