It’s that magical time of the year again when Nespresso launches it’s Limited Edition Festive Collection just in time for the holidays. This year, our taste buds are being transported to Paris!

I love Sundays.

Though it’s only one day away from the start of another work week, I make effort to reserve Sundays for self-care. I rarely have free time during the week, therefore Sundays are perfect for yoga, delicious healthy meals, therapeutic hobbies, and pampering time for my skin and body!

Imagine transporting yourself back to the imitating days of high school, what were you most self-conscious about?

I mean, we all have little imperfections, right? But during your teenage years, as you’re starting to ‘grow’ into your own body and hormone levels are sky rocket high, those tiny imperfections seem to amplify. And at times, even the girls who are most confident can find themselves vulnerable. In my case, growing up, I was embarrassed by the layer of peach fuzz that covered my upper arms and back. I mean now that I think back, it wasn’t even that bad! But for years, I refused to wear anything sleeveless or backless. I was afraid to be mocked.

This has ought to be my favourite time of the year. When the trees are ready to shed its coat and the leaves are dressed with beautiful shades of gold.

While the trees are ridding its coat, I on the other hand is shopping for a new one! As we transition from the slightly cooler weather to the deep chill of winter, it’s important to add appropriate outerwear and accessories to keep warm. This in between weather can be quite unpredictable in Toronto, its cold enough to ditch the trench coat but not yet time to bring out the down filled parkas.

September marks the time of Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Last month, the city was hustling and bustling with celebrities and film makers as they proudly walked the red carpets and premiered their fine works of art for the first time. I had the distinct pleasure to attend a number of events hosted by Nespresso, including Coffee with Creators and the premier screening of “First Man”, starring our very own Ryan Gosling!

I’m so excited to be teaming up with AVEENO® over the next few months to recommend an array of my favourite products and their newest launches, so be sure to continue to follow along!

Despite my love for Summer, Fall fashion is the most desirable compared to the other seasons. The colours are warm, rich, and unexpected. Fall colours may seem too dramatic or dull to some, but I personally find it luxurious, warm and inviting. The best part is that they pair so well as I transition from my sun-kissed olive tanned complexion.

Have you heard of double cleansing before?

Up until a few months ago, I really had no clue about the benefits and power of double cleansing. I was under the impression that I had a pretty good thing going when it came to washing my face.

What I love most about the pre-Fall season is the slightly cooler evening breeze.

It’s honestly the best time of the year to unwind outdoors with cozy blankets and comfy cushions.

I can’t believe it’s the last week of August! I’m holding onto that last bit of Summer by filling my weekends with road trips and roadside picnics with the help of the 2018 Ford EcoSport. Earlier this year, I had the chance to celebrate the launch of this crossover SUV at the Ford Life Hack Academy event in New York City.
