This summer, I've resolved to look fabulous. Not just once in a while or on special occasions, but every single day. It's kind of a big feat, but I'm determined that everyday will be a good hair day, everyday I will have soft glowing skin and everyday I will be dressed to kill!
Being the crafty chick that I am, I love to check out crafting blogs, stores and even books for ideas and inspiration. I started hearing about Washi Tape around the blogosphere and had to check out it out for myself. Washi Tape is a decorative, Japanese masking tape that been gaining popularity because of...
This past Easter weekend, the sun was shining and I was feeling the spring weather. My family gathered together for our traditional Easter dinner and my mother, who is not usually the Martha Stewart type (unless she is reading this, which in that case I have to say that Martha Stewart actually calls...
I'm always on the lookout for ways to do anything on the cheap and easy. When whatever I am creating is not only cheap, fast and simple but also environmentally friendly, well then, that's what I call the jackpot! Lately, I've been scouring the internet for ideas on how to make an eco-friendly household cleaner and I came...
Hello, my name is Alexandra and I have crazy, curly, frizzy, unruly, never-listens-to-me hair. Fortunately for me, I was able to experience an amazing blowout with
Recently, Rihanna took to the red carpet for the premiere of the film Battleship in Tokyo wearing a silk pyjamas-esque suit by Pucci. That's right, she rocked the red carpet wearing, pyjamas. When I first heard this, I was a bit taken aback. I mean, shouldn't the red carpet be some sort of style sanctuary where one must always look...
I always love looking at the runway collections for spring because it doesn't matter if it's Paris, Milan or at home in Toronto, the clothes are always cheerful and...
Recently, and for the first time in my life, I heard myself referred as a “strong person.” I guess they were referring to the fact that I haven’t had a total nervous breakdown, but those people haven’t seen me run into a spider in our basement or watch our dog nearly kill a rabbit in the backyard. But here’s the thing about...
Easter is one of my favourite holidays, I think it's because there is so much fun decorating and preparation that goes into it. There's the Easter dinner with the family to cook, the chocolate to buy and of course, the eggs to dye! No matter how old I get, this will forever be one of my favourite things. Recently, while browing the...
This is a naughty Easter(ish) drink I invented. Since the kiddies are going to be eating lots of chocolate this weekend, there should be something for the adults too. It was inspired by the Cottontail Punch in the Spring 2012 issue of Food...
It'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...
Before we get into this, I think we all need to take a minute to appreciate the superwoman that is Beyonce. I feel like she was pregnant for about a nanosecond, had the baby and then came out looking like a supermodel the next day. She must be a wizard, there is no other...

They're universally flattering, meaning they work for any body type and, I guarantee, you'll be turning heads when walking down the streets, rocking...
Let 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
