Beauty & Fashion

Taking time for myself in these weeks of June seems downright laughable. With the kids in the last days for school, I want to try and get as much as I can get done before they are home for the summer. They also have end of year concerts, presentations, field…

Since my first baby was born, I have been a hardcore fan of Weleda products because they are natural, not filled with perfume scents and work extremely well. (All Weleda products are paraben-free, preservative-free, SLS free, synthetic fragrance-free, phthalate-free and GMO-free.)

It was a cold day in February when I was invited to get pampered at the launch of Beautitude. I was promised an event that would put me first, because I deserve it. I’m going to be honest with you, I wasn’t in the mood. Strange, I know, but getting…

It was a delight to meet Laura Casella in person and chat about #SFTH2017 with her on Global Montreal. For a detailed explanation of the event, here is the segment. Thank you very much to Laura and Global Montreal for having me on and for spreading the information on this…
