Spring Contest

IMG_0358

I’ll fully admit that I’m in a bit of a bra rut lately. I have so many bras in fun colours, patterns and styles, but I always end up turning to the same nude bras day in and day out. It’s probably because I don’t have to give it a second thought, they work under whatever I’m wearing. As we know though, nude bras can be kind of boring.

I recently discovered the above bra from WonderBra and I love that even though it’s nude, it’s in no way boring. It’s part of their new Spring 2018 collection. I love the pretty lace details and cute bow. It also has a blush tone to it, (the colour is called “Paris Nude”) so it has a nice feminine look to it. Not to mention, it’s comfy and the support of the thick elastic band at the bottom makes it feel really secure.

Bridesmaid Ask Gifts

Planning my wedding has been full of incredibly fun and emotional moments. Putting together my bridesmaid ask gifts was definitely one.

I decided to put together a box full of goodies for each of my bridesmaids that would represent the themes of my wedding. I included a mini champagne bottle to get the party started (I took off the label, spray painted them rose gold and dipped them in glitter), rose gold nail polish because I’m obsessed with rose gold, delicious macarons from AG Macarons (they are my go-to whenever I need to give a sweat gift) and a stress release candle to keep everyone relaxed (and by everyone, I mostly mean me haha). 

I then had the amazing Cecile Lau Calligraphy put together the most beautiful tags and ask cards for me. I love the look of the watercolour designs she does.

Lastly, I took a trip down memory lane through my photo boxes and pulled out all of my favourite photos for each one of my bridesmaids. I then created a collage on the lid using all of my fav photos. Needless to say, I was a crying by the end of it and couldn’t wait to give out the boxes.

My sister is going to be my maid of honour and my bridesmaids include one of my oldest childhood friends, my university roommate, one of my best friends that I met years ago through work and my future sister-in-law. We just picked out the bridesmaid dresses this week and oh my gosh are they ever pretty! If I wasn’t so excited to wear my wedding dress, I’d be jealous of these bridesmaid dresses haha. They are so dreamy!

Spa Day!

201488-shangrila-toronto-spa

For me, facials are something that I do and then immediately question why I don’t them more often. I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Miraj Hammam Spa by Caudalie Paris at the Shangri-La in Toronto and I can honestly say it was THE best facial I’ve ever had.

I’ve had my fair share of good facials, but this one was next level amazing.  They literally do every treatment you could possibly imagine and the only products they use are Caudalie products. If you’ve been following my blog, you know that Caudalie is one of my favourite skincare brands. The products feel/smell amazing and are super hydrating for my dry skin. They also don’t irritate my sensitive skin which is the best part.

I’ve had facials where your face feels so irritated after that you feel like you were better off not having the facial. With Caudalie products, I don’t have to worry about how much product they are putting on my face because it never irritates me.

The spa itself is so beautiful and zen AF. You feel instantly relaxed as soon as you walk in. The treatment rooms they keep extra dark (which I love) and the staff were really friendly.

I received the Vinoperfect treatment and the Oxygen treatment. The Vinoperfect treatment restores radiance and vitality. The sculpting massage with essential oils is definitely the highlight as well as the small hot and cold basalt stones face massage. I’ve had hot stone massages on my back before, but definitely never on my face. This was seriously next level. They alternate between the hot stones and the cold stones and circulate them around your face. I’ve never experience anything like it. 

The next part of the facial was the Oxygen treatment. A cool mist of pure oxygen is incorporated with serum infused into the skin and is designed to help minimize fine lines, reduce redness, eliminate bacteria and bring life back to the skin. Needless to say my skin had never looked better when leaving the facial. I also stocked up on all of my favourite Caudalie products on my the way out of the spa.

Side note: In case you needed another reason to visit the Shangri-La spa, I actually ended up in an elevator with Auston Matthews. Obvs had to get a selfie.
