Lemon. Sugar. Need I say more? Chances are good that if you offer up cake in variety to me, I’m going for lemon. (Side note, cake in variety sounds amazing... Read More

5 Questions We Should Stop Asking New Parents
IS ANY NEW PARENT GOING TO ANSWER "NO" TO THE QUESTION: "IS HE/SHE A GOOD BABY?" When entering parenthood for the first time, there is a gamut of information out there on what to expect (including the somewhat fear-mongering series of books by that very name). You anticipate the sleepless nights and all ours of the day rocking and feeding and changing. One thing you really don't see coming though is the barrage of questions that friends, family and strangers alike ask, simply because you have a baby in your arms. While it mostly comes from a place of well-meaning, these questions can end up being awkward, uncomfortable and sometimes even invasive. ... Read More

Evalina Beauty | The New Vancouver Based Beauty Range

10 Vancouver Bloggers You Should Follow
GIRL LOVES GLOSS IS 7 YEARS OLD, BUT I'VE BEEN BLOGGING SINCE 2009. Not only do I love photography, writing and all that blogging entails, but I genuinely enjoy reading blogs as well. I've been known to binge read blogs whenever I get a chance, and I've got quite the Bloglovin subscription list going.

I believe in sharing the love and have had the pleasure of meeting every single one of these ladies in person over the years. Heck, some of them I even consider close friends! ... Read More
Huda Beauty Nude Obsessions Light Palette
CALL ME BASIC, BUT YOUR GIRL LOVES A NEUTRAL PALETTE. ...And Huda Beauty recently dropped her Nude Obsessions Palettes, much to my delight! These 9 pan palettes aren't new for the brand (read my review of the Mauve Obsessions Palette), but they did something really smart here: They made light, medium and dark versions. How often have we seen 'neutral' palettes all lean really warm, really brown, really pale or just generally lacked dimension? Huda has designed these palettes so that all 9 shades work with each other and there are no wild cards that can happen when a brand tries to do too much. I picked up the Light option because soft pinks and mauves were calling to me, but the Medium might have to be in my future...... Read More
