This has definitely been the most exciting couple months of my life! There’s been so much going on that I’ve been dying to share with you all, but also not enough hours in a day to be able to keep up with posting.

It all started in February when my boyfriend of 6 years (and the love of my entire life) proposed to me on my birthday weekend. I had never been to Montreal before, so he surprised me with a trip there for my Bday. On the day we arrived we were planning to head out for a night on the town and he suggested we head down to the champagne bar at the Ritz for a drink. It’s one of the nicest rooms I’ve ever been in (pics below!). Huge white ceilings, gold accents, palms everywhere.

I had no idea that he had pre-planned the whole thing with the staff. Turns out the place had been reserved for us and I had no idea. I just thought the place wasn’t busy yet. Before I knew it my boyfriend was down on one knee and I was a puddle of tears and in complete shock. The staff gave us some time alone and then came out celebrating with trays of champagne and macarons and desserts and chocolate sauce spelling out “congratulations” and roses etc. etc. It was one of the most amazing moments of my entire life. We spent the next 2 days celebrating in Montreal and sharing the news with our family and friends. I think I cried for 2 days straight. I couldn’t tell people without breaking out in tears again. It was all so beautifully overwhelming in the best way possible.

Alot has happened since then. We started wedding planning right away, picked a venue, I said yes to the dress and in between all of this I started a new job (more on all of this later).

I’m so excited to share the next year with you all and all of the wedding planning details! The last couple of months feel like such a blur, but I want to recap all of it for you.

To start, basically any time I can find an excuse to partner up with my friend Cecile Lau, I take it. We partnered up on a little mini photoshoot below featuring her beautiful calligraphy designs and my new ‘bling’ haha. I’m also starting to put together a vision for my wedding decor, so I incorporated that below. I’m loving the mix of rose gold accents with blush pink and greys.

We recently got back from Costa Rica and this was our second time staying at the Westin in Playa Conchal. Every time we’ve been has been absolute perfection! The resort is amazing, the food is always delicious and all the surrounding beaches are incredible. Check out some of the pics below!

The pool in our house was the perfect place to relax after a day at the beach and floating flamingos just make everything even better!

Surf Box was my fav spot for breakfast! It’s about a 10 minute drive from the resort. One of the best smoothies I’ve ever had in my life and the menu is fantastic. 

This restaurant called Beach House had the most adorable multi-coloured decor!

Spring and Summer deliveries are my favourite kind of deliveries! I’m so excited about this month’s batch of new arrivals. Check them all out below!

Is there any better way to welcome Spring then with the newest Chloe fragrance? I think not! Love Story Eau Sensuelle is the 3rd fragrance from Chloe’s Love Story lineup. The scent is inspired by Parisian romance and the famous love padlocks on the bridge of Pont des Arts. The difference in this fragrance is the orange blossom. It adds a sensual and fresh twist. I have found that alot of the Chloe fragrances smell pretty similar, but this one really stands apart from the pack. It has a little more punch to it and I absolutely love it. 

This newest delivery from Avon has so many great goodies in it! I’m loving this little nail kit. The Avon nail kits always come in the cutest designs. I’m also crazy about these new face masks. There’s one for firming and one for brightening. I’m heading on vacation soon and I’ll definitely be taking this tote bag and travel containers with me. 

The Vichy Idealia line was designed for the skin needs of women in their 30’s, which is perfect for me! I’ve started to see some fine lines appearing on my forehead so this is definitely a welcomed delivery. I’m excited to continue to use it and see if I can reverse some of these lines! The line is designed to help 3 of the most major concerns for skin in your 30’s: Dull skin, large pores and fine lines. 

Idéalia’s antioxidant complex is powered by blueberry extract, fermented black tea extract and Vichy Mineralizing Thermal Water. It allows skin to appear more radiant, fine lines appear smoother and pores look visibly reduced. I’m obsessed with the serum. It feels amazing on my skin. 

I’m totally loving the concept of the new NYX Cosmetics Total Control Drop Foundation. The foundation features a dropper which allows you to customize your coverage. There’s even a guide that explains how many drops to use to get a specific amount of coverage, ranging from light to full. I also love that the line includes 24 shades for just about any skin tone. Check out that lineup below. There really is a colour for everyone. Also, loving this campaign photoshoot featuring influencers! The pictures turned out amazing. 

It’s a beautiful thing when two of your obsessions are combined together into one amazing product! Saje introduced a marble diffuser! My love of Saje and my love of marble are now combined and it’s a beautiful thing. I love displaying this one on my nightstand. It’s the prettiest diffuser I’ve ever seen and I love that this diffuser holds alot of water and lasts extra long. What’s your go-to Saje diffuser oil? Mine is Stress Release or pure lavender. I cannot get enough! 

My love of all things lavender and coconuts is something I’ve written about quite a bit.  So, when the below products arrived on my doorstep it was basically the best day ever. Lavender AND coconut hair products! Does life get any better? haha. I’m also obsessed with the OGX Lavender shampoo & conditioner because the purple colour helps my died blonde hair stay fresh and not brassy. Also, the lavender smell is divine. I’ve been testing out the Coconut Penetrating Oil and you need to try this if you have dry hair. The oil feels amazing on my hair right out of the shower and the smell is to die for! Can you tell I’m just a tad excited about these products? 

My lazy Sunday game just got a major upgrade. This new mermaid blanket makes me so happy! Seriously, the only thing better than curling up on the couch is curling up inside this warm and cozy mermaid blanket. You can shop this exact blanket HERE and it’s currently on sale for just $16!
