Beauty & Fashion

If you have been here before you know our family is a big fan of BOGS boots. Ever since the boys were young, they have been our go-to for every type of weather that Montreal throws at them. I never worry if they will be cold, I know they last…

What is a henna session, and why should you have one? I spoke with Sinthusha Kandiah of Divinart Foundation, to help explain this beautiful tradition. My hope is that you learn something new and consider getting a session for yourself as a peaceful gift to yourself and perhaps celebrate a…
