Ombré hair

Yes I heard you and I know I'm late on this post practically a whole season late with September around the corner. But here it is. This was a huge summer hair trend last year and is still going strong this summer. I've had this ombre hair since April, only now I came around to take pictures. I did this ombre hair at home with the help of my friend. Thank god she didn't change my hair green lol. This is how my hair looks straighten, I like compared to my all black hair, it's fun way to lighten your hair for the hot weather. Maybe you have had this hair style or have seen many people with it.
Thanks for reading!

Turquoise stone nails

Currently on my nails is this eye catching design that I've gotten many compliments on. Its very simply to recreate as well. Simply pick a turquoise base colour then using saran wrap dot gold nail polish over (on saran wrap paint on gold nail polish), then use the marble effect to get the black on your nails and there you have it. Fun, colourful cute design for summer or any time of the year. 

PS. Looking for fun ways to redecorate my room for the fall season, if anyone has any ideas please leave a comment. THANKS!

Get Away to Centre Island

My summer is never complete without taking a ferry across lake Ontario to the island. I live the ferry which allows me to see the beautiful skyline and feel the waters mist. There's lots to do from taking a dip, building sand castles, riding a tandem bike, playing in the park or simplying getting away from the city bustle and slow down.

OOTD: Crop tops and High Waisted Jeans

This is is my OOTD for today taking retro 80's and 90's inspired trends with a stylish twist. One celebrity I take a lot of inspiration from is Rihanna her ever changing and fierce style. I got this royal blue crop top online its says "CHILL"  and the high waisted jeans I got from Garage. Hope you all liked my OOTD for today and stay tuned for more posts. 
Thanks!



I prefer the checkered top to be tied around my waist

Homemade Cobb salad

This is a brand new salad I tried recently. I've seen this salad so many times online and in recipe books so I thought I wondered if it tastes as good as it looks. All these delicious ingredients were laid on a bed of baby spinach (you could also use lettuce or are anything you like). From the back of this picture i have shredded cabbage, carrots, then avocado, turkey, tomato's and feta cheese. All together this was one the the prettiest salads I've ever made and it tasted equally good as well.If you try this out let me know.

ENJOY!

Winged Eyeliner

Since I've went out and bought Maybelline 24 hour lasting drama gel eyeliner, it has been a breeze to do my winged eyeliner. I like it a lot better than liquid eyeliner because I personally find it easier. It's literally like drawing on your face (eg. canvas). This is how I do my everyday winged liner. I don't like my eyeliner to be too thick on me but this shape enhances my almond shaped eyes and like many beauty blog state almond eyes are one of the easiest to do looks on. The brush is the best part about this purchase. I thought the brush would be too thick but it turns out to be amazing for gel liner with its thin tip you can make gentle strokes to get your desired liner. I purchased this eyeliner at Shoppers Drug Mart for $12. I'm pretty sure Walmart might be cheaper.
