The first snow fall of the season always seems so magical to me. It reminds of childhood snow days where we’d build snowmen, make snow angels and have a snowball fight with our friends. Even as an adult I enjoy watching the snowfall from my office window and feeling childlike excitement when it settles on the ground. I don’t like it so much when I have to drive home in…

Everyday beauty essentials
I’m not a beauty blogger by any means but I do spend a lot of my reading time on beauty blogs and I admire the work they put into their posts. One thing I have noticed however is a lot of beauty bloggers don’t talk about the everyday items. The beauty essentials that you use on a regular basis, you’re favourites you purchase over and over again. Today I’m going…
