Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIt's pretty hard writing about all of the gorgeous spring makeup this year without trying some of it on. Especially nail polish. It's remarkable how two coats of the right colour can totally make you look pulled together when you really aren't, wouldn't you agree?
We tried on a selection of this spring's colours that remind us of jellybeans. There was...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basLet me start by saying that just because I'm the one in the photos does not mean I think I look great naked. But I'd be lying if I said that isn't one of my fitness goals. It's practically bathing suit season and I was hugely pregnant last summer so I'm quite motivated. I have been exercising a fair bit as you know, and Kinesiologist and Personal Trainer...

Don't even get me started on bright nail polish. I love to wear yellows, oranges, bright blue or pink on my nails. It's just so fun and can...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basMakeup may be the ultimate way to transform your face in minutes, but wouldn't it be nice to roll out of bed looking fresh faced in your natural skin? A pretty face is an uncomplicated face. And by that I mean eyebrows are tidy, there aren't any stray facial hairs poking out anywhere, skin is clear and fresh, teeth are white and flossed and dark spots are not left untreated...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI don't know about you but spring makes me want to reorganize and rejuvenate my living space and wardrobe. A year ago I bought a house with unfortunate closets. Very few, teeny tiny 100ish year old closets with nothing but a bar and in some cases, a few shelves. I wasn't expecting to find walk in closets in a house that age, but I knew there was no possibility of fitting...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basBefore my baby boy was born I got a lot of advice. I still continue to receive a lot of (unsolicited) advice. But no one told me the following super important details I am about to share with you. You're Welcome, in advance.
1. Don't buy a nursing bra with underwire. Unless you like blocked milk ducts.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basMy Mom used to make these when I was a kid. My 3 siblings and I would help twist the dough and add the sprinkles or, if I'm being totally honest, fight with each other until they came out of the oven then stuff our faces.

Ingredients:
