Mia Gusset Booties - Boohoo review


I'm back and with a review from BooHoo. I've seen these booties online everywhere and i had to get my hands on a pair. BooHoo gives the latest trends in Europe which is ahead in fashion compared to north america. I got these babies for $40 which is a steal. There are comfy and I can dress them up or down based on the place or event I'm attending. Boohoo has easily become one of my favorite online stores, for any event I'm attending or simply feeling the urge to shop this is the first place I head to find the latest trends.

Everything Insalata

My everything salad when there's nothing to eat and everything to eat. When you can't make a decision on what to put in your salad. It started out as a Greek salad and transformed from there. NOM NOM the best part is digging into this salad. 
Currently watching the world cup on my day off and working out talk about multi-tasking. 
Have a good day.

Run Or Dye


Our day started bright and early on the road. It was 1 hour drive to Albion Hills conservation where the run was held. This is the line up to get into the conservation. It went through the downtown of Bolton and over two hills. It took us an hour to finally get into the site.
The three pictures below are before the race when we were clean and COLOURLESS!


5K later we emerge looking like parrots,colourful and smiling.There were soo many people of all ages and even strollers. It was insane and I would do this again next year. Our post run meal was at our fav viet stop we had pad thai.

Tropical Gradient

This mani reminds me of parrots in South America where my parents grew up. This mani is very eye catching and simple to recreate. Just paint on the colours onto a wedge sponge and sponge onto your nails. When I first saw this gradient years ago it looked hard but its really easy, it just can be a pain to clean sometimes. Thanks for reading.

Figuring Shit Out


My current state of affairs. 
Trying to figure out my future, finances and relaxing at the same time. Not a easy feat. To help I have my ice coffee handy and some light reading when my brain can no longer function. So much for a slow and simple day off. 

Wow literally two minutes later.


Bi-polar weather of Toronto hope your having a better day than me. Happy Tuesday.

Deborah Lippmann Best of Both World Pop Rock Mini Duet Set



I recently received this Deborah Lippmann set as a late birthday present. This is the pop rock duo set with a beautiful barbie cream pink and a sparkly nail polish that looks like the case. Its a cute funkt and colourful set. Deborah Lippmann is known for bold colours that last long and don't chip as fast as normal drug store nail polish would. 
My first thoughts when i tried the set was the colour was amazing i used two coats to reach full opacity. Where i work I constantly used my hands so that was the chip resistance test, I worked two shifts before I saw a chip compared to  drug store where it occurs within the first hour. 
Overall a cute set

The Last of Winter

Finally saying goodbye to the cold and those long icy nights. I can finally say it's Spring. This might be my last dark nail look for a while and follow the spring pastels.
I got the studs from ebay for $1, the navy polish is from Joe fresh and the periwrinkle and gold base are from china glaze. A very simple manicure.
Thanks for reading and follow for more.

Colourful and simple

My lunch for today. It's simple bright and colourful. 
A turkey wrap with edamame beans on the side, eating healthy doesn't have to be boring and tiresome.
Find fun ways to spice up your everyday meals, this is just one example.

Sheinside and Missguided Review


Shopping online has kind of become my new found love. I love finding deals and added different styles to my wardrobe that's not in store in Toronto yet. I've recently done some shopping online from two different stores Sheinside and Missguided. I read reviews before deciding to make a purchase. Many reviews I've read about Sheinside were not the best, some ranging from never receiving their purchase to bad service. Thankfully I had the opposite experience and will shop there again. Sheinside has fashion from Asia and there also a bit more ahead of the fashion trends than North America. Missguided is a online store more closer to home located in North America. They have cute finds for a good price and their sales are also really good. Both promise shipping of less than two weeks. I received both 10 days after I made my order. I loved what I got and they are true to size. Will definitely shop at both of these online stores again.
Thanks for reading!






These two tops are from Sheinside.

Colourful Daisy Nails


I actually created these nails last year and I recently found the pictures and decided why not.
The fit with the theme of spring and Easter.
I used pastel colours and a toothpick to create the petals. 
The weather in Toronto is crazy it was actually SNOWING yesterday. So much for Spring.
Thanks for reading and try out this cute design.

Toronto to the Bronx


 Over the weekend my family went down to the Bronx to deal with some family stuff, I won't get into details but I thought here is an opportunity to get some pictures of the trip there. I got most of these pics from my cousin, sadly I couldn't go because I had too much school left to do since it's my last week of winter semester (Cheers for the last week of school!).
Above is the Brooklyn bridge, it was a very dreary and sad looking day. 
Thanks for reading!

Classy Nude Nails


Currently stuck in school till 5pm but I'd like to show you what I have on my nails right now.
I took a twist on the classic french manicure. This look is classy and sophisticated. The nude pairs really well with the black as they contrast. This look is very simple to recreate and you don't even need a nail art brush/striper to do it.
Im stuck writing a 2500 essay this suckssss! Wish me luck bye for now.
Thanks for reading!
