I finally finished my Christmas shopping! Presents have been wrapped, bows have been tied, cards have been signed, and they are all waiting patiently to be torn open. I can hardly wait to see the looks on everyone’s face as they unwrap them (in my opinion it’s the best part). I also have a hard [...]

I’ve always wanted to do the give-up-sugar-for-a-month thing, but every time I tried, I failed. I mean, I can openly admit that I have an addiction. How [...]

One gloomy Sunday morning, I met one of my great gal pals for brunch. A delicious feta cheese omelet and Iranian tea at Byblos, a cute little restaurant on the plateau of Montreal. What better way to start the laziest day of the week! Followed by a stroll down Mont-Royal street, then a stop on [...]

The Hamsa hand has long been one of my favourite symbols. The palm-shaped amulet is believed to ward of the “evil eye” and represents blessings, power and strength. As a believer, I have worn a Hamsa bracelet everyday for the past 4 years. So much so that it has become one of my signature symbols. [...]

It should come as no surprise to those around me everyday that I am loving the arrival of spring and the bold colours that come with the warmer weather. I’ve ditched the black and greys I’ve been hiding under for the past five months and jumped into spring with both feet (wearing colourful shoes, of [...]

So I have this thing that I do. Every once in a while I browse the shops to find unique pieces of jewelry. The kind that I think that most people wouldn’t wear because it’s too big, too bling, or just too weird. Then I try to make it work the best way I can. [...]

On my way back from vacation, my earphones completely gave up on me. Let me say, it didn’t take me long to get a new pair. And of course, me not being one to be very ordinary, I found of pair of extraordinary ones to take their place! The Panasonic ZrO2 Couture earphones are oh [...]

You don’t go away to a beach in Mexico without coming home with a few treasures! Even though this was by no means a shopping trip, a shopaholic such as myself always finds a way to find something to buy. As you can see, I found an assortment of goods : ) I bought this [...]
