I’m not normally the type to put a Christmas tre

I’m not normally the type to put a Christmas tree up in November, but that’s exactly what we did this year because 2020 can suck it 🤷🏻‍♀️

In fact, this is the first time I’ve put up a tree in a few years, and Everly’s first! My husband and I both worked in busy retail environments for many years and if I’m honest, the spirit of Christmas was kind of lost on us for a few years. It’s hard to be festive when you’ve been listening to the same 10 holiday songs, have been yelled at for something entirely out of your control multiple times and have basically taken one day off (Christmas Day) all month.

But now with Everly, everything feels fresh again! Holidays through a child’s eye, regardless of what you celebrate, is so precious.

I refer to our tree as “The Hand Me Down Tree”. Full of ornaments that have been passed down. Some older than me, some from Dan and my first tree together 13 years ago. Some new to celebrate the year Everly was born.

It’s not an aesthetically pleasing white and gold tree that looks like it belongs in a shop window. It’s full of mismatched decorations, multi coloured lights and even some singing ornaments that were Dans, that I (lovingly) hide in the back 😂
We wouldn’t have it any other way 💖

I HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD. When did that happen?!?

I HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD.
When did that happen?!?
Favourite things are reading books, playing with her play tools (girl after my own heart!), dance parties and minimalist abstract art (definitely not taken after me 😂).

Each night I tuck her in and say “I love you Everly” and she says “I know” 🤣 and I chuckle a little , grateful for how much charisma and character you have kiddo.

Hard to believe that this time 3 years ago I was somewhere near the end of 56 hours of labour and feeling like I’d waited my whole life for her. Like most parents, I can’t even imagine my life before her now.

Happy Birthday Everly!! I love you, and I know you know 😉

Oh hey, look who finally got the time to write a blog post? (Spoiler, it was definitely during a time I should have been sleeping 😂)
I share some of my picks for the best skin, hair and beauty holiday sets this year - all scouted for actual value and quality 🥰 - head over to the link in my bio to check it out!

I NEED TO KNOW: what’s the last eyeshadow palette that really knocked your socks off? Like, love every (or almost every) shade, looks amazing every time you use it, would happily purchase again?

These @pixibeauty palettes are nice. Not knock your socks off or anything, but great neutral palettes at an affordable drugstore price.

What’s that? I actually found time to write a blog post?! Sure did! It’s been a crazy busy week preparing for my multi-collection drop at @shoppetalandposy but the guilt of being a bad blogger was getting to me 😂
There’s a review of the new @smashboxcanada Halo Healthy Glow Tinted Moisturizer up now, with some tips I feel are essential for getting the best application.

What’s your current fave foundation/base? Asking for a “friend” who may or may not slip a Sephora order in before the sale ends 🤣

Fun fact, I forgot to put on under eye concealer for this picture, and that’s something I NEVER forget (because I have a toddler who rarely sleeps when she’s supposed to). I guess that’s a pretty decent endorsement for the new @smashboxcanada Halo Healthy Glow All in One Tinted Moisturizer!
Have you tried a new foundation or base lately? Leave your faves in the comments below!

I finally got around to testing out these @pixibeauty face palettes and they are gorgeous!! Totally not a surprise since Pixi is just so solid. I love that the contour shade isn’t super cool tones but most definitely isn’t a bronzer either. Definitely worth checking out the next time you hit up @shoppersbeauty or @target

It was a gorgeous day here in Vancouver to take Everly to the Zoo for the very first time! She absolutely loves her animals, and was most excited to see the Giraffes 🦒(mummy’s fave), Hippo 🦛 (currently mooning us in this shot) and was absolutely enamored by the Flamingos 🦩. She also may or may not have tried to chase a peacock 🦚 🙈
How is your weekend going? See any animals in the wild? 😂

I’m a huge @benefitcanada brow fan - but sadly this #browmicrofillingpen is a miss for me 😞
I’ve been through 2, and both dried up before I could even get to the second brow. Not ideal 😂
I love the concept behind this and when it performed for that one brow it was great, but with not way to get the ink to move down into the felt tips, it’s a no for me.
These were provided as part of #benefitclubpink program. I’m committed to always giving you all my authentic experiences and thoughts. Have any of you tried this and had the same experience as me?
