it's been an entire week in canada and i couldn't be anymore excited to be home!

living in a different country definitely makes you realize how valuable life at home is.

it's been such a relaxing break thus far.

being able to finally see some of my close friends has been an amazing christmas gift! 

also being employed at american apparel through the holidays has been wonderful/awful for my bank account at the same time. 

awful because i buy something every shift, whoops, can't blame a girl.

i hope you all had a wonderful christmas and i hope you're ready for the new year!

Summer Must Have's: Beauty Products

it's finally summer!!!

well here in canada it is.

 i've been putting off buying any summer products because in all honesty the weather has been awful.

for a two consecutive weeks the sun has been shining and the weather has been gorgeous.

i finally committed to buying some awesome products and i want to share them with all of you!

Thank you St.Ives.

I've been using the Oatmeal & Shea Butter Body Lotion for the last week and it's amazing! A few days ago I bought the Oatmeal Scrub + Mask and it has left my skin feeling smooth and fresh. It's even made my complexion look smoother!

I bought both of these products for under $10. 

i STRONGLY  recommend Batiste Dry Shampoo. I use this dry shampoo every other day for the last 3 weeks and I still have over half a bottle. I've used the Dove Dry Shampoo before but it only lasted a few days because there was barely any product in the bottle and it was even more expensive. For $6.99, Batiste has tons of different scents. Mine is 'Blush' and it smells like flowers.

My sunglasses are from Topshop and they were $35.

i finally bought myself an EOS lip balm and i don't regret it at all! it's the perfect size for throwing in my purse and it smells amazing! for only $3.99 i will for sure be buying some different flavours!

i've been searching for a body wash for awhile now and i came across Live Clean at Target. IT SMELLS AMAZING. 

Also it works really well so thats a plus. I think this product was only about $7 and the bottle is huge so it's a great deal. 

If you have any more questions or want a full review of any of the products above, email me at

Today I had the honour of teaming up with the wonderful ladies at Georgie Girl.

Georgie Girl is a local vintage consignment store in town that carries used clothing from the 20's to present.

I found their store awhile back and I fell in love with all of the clothing from there.

sorry that there hasn't been any recent outfit posts for you guys.

i have my final exams of first term coming up this week so i've been trying to focus my time on my studies.

it's crazy to think that my first half of senior year is almost at it's end.

six more months and i'm officially graduated.

it's crazy to think how far i've come over the past few years, even through the past few months.

i'm proud of the work i've done and i'm excited to see what the future brings.

it's been so chilly lately.

i was hoping for some sun today but fog took over and i had to put together a last minute outfit.

i really love my city's downtown. there's so many cute little stores, coffee shops, and colourful walls.

lately i've been into drinking tea.

david's tea recently opened up here and i've been drinking a lot of the 'birthday cake' tea.

but my favourite is 'tazo zen'.

do you have a favourite tea?
