Enjoying the moment.

You know those mornings when you have nothing planned, and all the time in the world to get ready? When you can leisurely put on your makeup, do your hair and put together an outfit? This post is the result of that kinda morning. I love these types of mornings when I can spend the time and really enjoy the process of creating a look, especially doing my makeup. When I get to take my sweet, sweet time doing my makeup...I'm in heaven. But for real, I find it super relaxing. I was introduced to the world of YouTube make-up tutorials by a co-worker, and now I can't imagine my life before this point. There is a HUGE resource of knowledge out there, quality knowledge...I'm talking superstar makeup artists sharing their craft with you FOR FREE. I love the internet. This look was inspired by the makeup and the makeup artist in the video (see link below). The photoshoot was super spontaneous: my husband/photographer suggested it outta the blue after spotting me come out from my room all gussied up. We just walked to a park nearby and snapped photos and had fun. There are so many areas that this blog helps me grow and explore: my makeup, my outfits, my photography and my editing skills. I love looking back and seeing my progress, it gives me hope for the future. This is one of my favorite posts....so far ;)

Summer in the City

This summer, like many before, has seemed to fly by. More busy with work and less with blog posts than I would have liked, but I did have the occasion to snap a few pics of an outfit I wore to a makeup convention (IMATS) in Vancouver. Makeup is my other love, and the IMATS is a makeup lover's heaven. More brushes and palettes than you've ever seen in your life AND all at pro discount prices. I am not a "pro" but for two days I get to shop like one ;) But enough about makeup, on to the outfit! This outfit was totally inspired by a pin on Pintrest. I was struck by the colour palette:  blue and white  with a pop of red. I instantly was inspired to re-create it with pieces from my wardrobe! I think it turned out great! 









I love this city!
