My 2019 Winter Musts

-


Okay gems we are deep into winter and it's time to acknowledge the fact that it's cold as F***!!
So here are some things that I've been obsessing over all winter and that have really helped make the difference in 2019 so far!
Masks
Okay I have never been one to swear by face masks or use them that frequently. This season though I've definitely been working on my skin's health and working hard to keep it hydrated, not to mention the fab fit fun box provided the masks! (PS. I cant wait to get my spring box!!!!) So this Winter I've been doing 1-2 face masks a week, and using different ones depending on what my skin is looking like on that week. When I need a rougher scrub I use the Lush Coffee mask, if I need a smoother, calming, foaming scrub, it's always a mint mask and finally, for a refresh I love the Hydrating overnight mask by La Neige.

Makeup
I know I've mentioned before that makeup isn't consistent for me but since my new job is more of an office position where I meet clients, I definitely have been wearing more and trying to look more presentable. I usually find makeup a chore unless I'm in the mood but it's been really fun this winter because I've been able to change up my routines and try different routines.

Body scrub
My skin is definitely a roller coaster when it comes to the winter. No product means too dry, too much means too oily and random breakouts are always keeping me on my toes. This winter I started using the Body Shop's Coconut body scrub and I'm addicted. Not only is it refreshing and exfoliating, it's not too harsh! This isn't an everyday use but when needed it provides the fresh skin that I love.

Blankets & Coziness
This might sound a little weird because I'm obviously not carrying a blanket around with me, but when I'm relaxing, which is not as often as I honestly need, the cozier my atmosphere and environment the better. This also means that when I need a more relaxing daytime set up, I wore cozier clothing that made the day easier to get through. This was definitely limited because I can't wear sweatpants to work, but it made the cozy times so much more worth it!

So those are my current must haves my gems! Stay tuned because spring is (HOPEFULLY) around the corner and I'm more than ready!

New Year Update!

-
 Hi Gems,  Wow it has been a while. The last time I wrote and published on here was in October which honestly feels like a lifetime. As the holidays came and went, we rang in the new year and I find myself thinking a lot about not only lessons learned this year but the direction I want to aim for when going into 2024.  As you may know if you follow my other platforms, I am getting married this year which feels surreal! It's been so far away for so long and here we are counting down less then a year! I also am so proud of Tia things on Instagram , TikTok and Youtube because I really have pushed myself to create more all while having fun! With all of this in mind, here are some of my goals going into 2024: 1. Have a life outside of wedding planning  Wedding planning has genuinely been so fun and even in the stress-inducing times, I would not change anything for the world. I am so proud of how much we have done, saved, planned, etc. as we put together our perfect day....

Furniture shopping

-
 Hey gems,  I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine as summer is approaching! We have been busy trying to pick out all the furniture for the new place. It has been quite a wild journey to get here so I thought I would take some time to review everything that has been going on! Firstly, my favourite store by far is Structube , it is my favourite place and has such a great variety of items but way less overwhelming then a big store like Ikea.  The first thing we picked is our dining table and chairs. The chairs are warm brown leather and the table has a fake live edge that I LOVE! This was the easiest item to choose by far! This is all in a warm theme and tones that will go well with the dark floors and cabinets. We also have been very budget conscious in the whole process and the table was a great price for a larger size so this was a no-brainer.  The next main items I picked out are decor because I had some very specific ideas like a gallery wall and big mirrors! We...

Low budget Fall (lockdown) date ideas

Hey gems! How is everyone doing? Recently I have had to get super creative when it comes to date nights especially with the new lockdown we are limited in where we can go. So of course date night often include walks because not only is it great to get fresh air but it helps with the mental components of being stuck inside. We get tired of them quick though and need to mix it up during the week so here is what I came up with! Turn TV into games: You can chose any show or movie you are watching and turn it into a game! For example, every time a certain character says their catch phrase you either take a bite, drink or do something silly that you both agree on! it can be something silly or answering any question! This basically gets as creative as you want to! Newlywed game (quiz) Basically any type of quizzing each other on how well you know each other! We did this with my sister and her boyfriend as a competition but it can be fun just between the two of you as well! This is super cute ...
