That said, I still think there are plenty of ways to do some entertaining this year! Here in Toronto, we are advised to only celebrate with the ones in our household. Some of us have bigger households then others, so I’ve got you covered for both. I’ve been loving </span><a href="https://www.iceberg.ca/" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;" target="_blank">Iceberg Vodka</a><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"> lately, a local Canadian vodka, so I thought it would be fun to share a couple holiday entertaining ideas that you could do this year! I love a smooth vodka, and Iceberg Vodka is hands down the best! It uses the purest water on earth, iceberg water harvested by cowboys off the coast of Newfoundland and you can taste the quality from the very first sip.</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"> </span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"> </span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;">I’ll be enjoying a nice holiday cocktail featuring Iceberg Vodka, with my loved ones, even if it’s virtual! Here are a couple of tips I think you could find useful for entertaining during this pandemic.</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><o:p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;"> </span></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH4tN1YYWMQtwMViG5Fkpe43OWtXRPplf4OX5XLEfkfhg-AXFlPOVx8xPaD-AV8qCRaPA4fdk_URE2dcioZMWytebXJigfOb19NWYyH-N5UBijOrcrtmbKjYyyrjEsdYj7cgUOMNhQbUQ/s2048/69A7AD7B-9DC0-4EC7-84DA-62A54CD7CBAE.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1638" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH4tN1YYWMQtwMViG5Fkpe43OWtXRPplf4OX5XLEfkfhg-AXFlPOVx8xPaD-AV8qCRaPA4fdk_URE2dcioZMWytebXJigfOb19NWYyH-N5UBijOrcrtmbKjYyyrjEsdYj7cgUOMNhQbUQ/s16000/69A7AD7B-9DC0-4EC7-84DA-62A54CD7CBAE.jpeg" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;">1)<span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span><!--[endif]-->Embrace the virtual! I know we’re all zoomed out, but Zoom can still be fun! With just a little bit of planning, you can have everyone you love making a killer cocktail together on a zoom call. I love the idea of delivering ready to make cocktail boxes to your friends and family. You can get individual sized bottles and fill them with all cocktail ingredients. I love making my famous Medge’s Iceberg Madras cocktail and it’s so easy! Measure out 2 ounces of orange juice, cranberry juice, soda water, put them in reusable bottles. I would suggest gifting a nice bottle of Iceberg Vodka because it’s so good and they’ll want to have it on hand too! You can put it in a basket with a bow or you can use a shoe box and just wrap it up in festive paper or newspaper! Either way, don’t forget the garnish! Make sure to put in a couple leaves of mint and a lemon in there. Print the instructions, or write them on personal stationary (I, for one, love the personal touch) and it’s ready to go. So when you all get on that zoom call, you lead the group into the cocktail making. That is sure to be fun!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><o:p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;"> </span></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb9ukm6rGXk-Zu8g2_ixVgJ2ETvKp-xkG8RhuU3UdL4skXSxjmGT4vJJiBOa2Ka21DcXDd3UVTHRtQQeOomoCphDT0dO5DdJxs0i6oHhjJ8HXcy0s5Vj-oGyT7kpp-tau_vThUIc0HzCs/s2048/112069F8-9E32-453C-84D5-EFF96FF0819A.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1638" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb9ukm6rGXk-Zu8g2_ixVgJ2ETvKp-xkG8RhuU3UdL4skXSxjmGT4vJJiBOa2Ka21DcXDd3UVTHRtQQeOomoCphDT0dO5DdJxs0i6oHhjJ8HXcy0s5Vj-oGyT7kpp-tau_vThUIc0HzCs/s16000/112069F8-9E32-453C-84D5-EFF96FF0819A.jpeg" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;">2)<span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span>If you’re doing in-person entertaining (you live in a big full house), I think 2020 is definitely the year to wow people! Everyone loves watching a really good mixologist do their thing. Well, here’s your chance to be a world-famous mixologists, except with a punch! I made a White Cosmo using Iceberg Vodka recently, and it was amazing! Start with making your ice cubes beforehand! Put in a couple fresh cranberries and little bit of thyme in the mold, and freeze. When it’s party time, have your area set up with everything you’ll need. Throw the ice cubes in your pitcher – the ice cubes alone will wow! Then ask your audience to help you with measurements! It really is something that depends on personal taste. Once your white cranberry, cream soda and vodka is in there, I recommend either having a little garnish station. Gives them something fun to do! You can do individual little garnish stations (think tiny bowl with cranberries and a stem of rosemary at each place setting, or some cute little tongs for people to do it themselves at a designated station. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><o:p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;">Medge’s Iceberg Madras Recipe <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;">-<span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span><!--[endif]-->Ice<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;">-<span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span><!--[endif]-->2 oz cranberry juice<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;">-<span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span><!--[endif]-->2 oz orange juice<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;">-<span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span><!--[endif]-->2 oz soda water <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;">-<span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span><!--[endif]-->2 oz Iceberg Vodka<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;">-<span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span><!--[endif]-->1 sliced lemon for garnish<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;">Put ice in your shaker (3/4 full of ice).

I’ve been loving it so much! That’s why I partnered with Secret Deodorant to share my top 5 aluminum free deodorant benefits with you, check out my review below!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvTJbxqzH0SOrsfg5QWzirZjhMvheol5Ejx2ZUZpb7y0VnF_r8c7OkFgkyUiMUvLJpK9Su3mTSByzWM0zkQBeQ9PfFEHlMekwSzwqEjTF6fIsVKaQVZriT4jkzX4LNE4N65yfdHGsjSL4/s1936/A5C8BCB5-A17E-4C07-B9CA-5C3447109893.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1936" data-original-width="1549" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvTJbxqzH0SOrsfg5QWzirZjhMvheol5Ejx2ZUZpb7y0VnF_r8c7OkFgkyUiMUvLJpK9Su3mTSByzWM0zkQBeQ9PfFEHlMekwSzwqEjTF6fIsVKaQVZriT4jkzX4LNE4N65yfdHGsjSL4/s16000/A5C8BCB5-A17E-4C07-B9CA-5C3447109893.jpeg" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"> 1. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;">The Secret Aluminum Free Deodorant is free of aluminum, dyes, parabens, glycol and talc! I’ve always wanted to use an aluminum free deodorant, but the problem was I could never find one that actually worked for me. Now using Secret Aluminum Free Deodorant, I finally found the one for me. To me, using a deodorant free of unwanted ingredients is definitely ideal, and Secret Aluminum Free Deodorant is the best choice! Taking a step in the direction of cleaner products is important to me. Since a large part of 2020 has been spent at home, it was definitely the time to test out products free of some unwanted chemicals</span><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;">.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;">2. Secret</span><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;"> Aluminum Free Deodorant is certified PETA cruelty free and that’s huge! I’m a firm believer that not testing on animals is the right thing to do. It’s not ethical and just unnecessary. We are different than animals. Science has come such a long way and there are other ways of testing nowadays. I love that Secret Aluminum Deodorant is certified PETA Cruelty Free! This definitely gives me a do good, feel good feeling. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN6Qc6BO3qkF-KlZZsGqMOX6Y5H-tLcDfVwmkQdEYw7fyDuNNJUrXtnXGc7dL-rmqlPr_YpKzy2yvzID9jAHP4y1T82LI-0tRH9LMmE1QeI8kCWths52NEK639qEAN_rFQtOQxr38bwOk/s1390/1991A3C2-DBD2-44A3-96BD-479A9AD77389.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1390" data-original-width="1112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN6Qc6BO3qkF-KlZZsGqMOX6Y5H-tLcDfVwmkQdEYw7fyDuNNJUrXtnXGc7dL-rmqlPr_YpKzy2yvzID9jAHP4y1T82LI-0tRH9LMmE1QeI8kCWths52NEK639qEAN_rFQtOQxr38bwOk/s16000/1991A3C2-DBD2-44A3-96BD-479A9AD77389.jpeg" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;">3. Secret Aluminum Free is designed to be gentle on skin. It feels clean, it’s smooth and goes on dry! One of the most important things for me is how a deodorant feels on my underarm. I absolutely hate feeling icky and gross there. I need my deodorant to keep me fresh and Secret does just that! In a day, I get up to a lot of active things. Whether it’s a walk or lugging one kid under one arm while pushing the other in the stroller, my armpits need to feel fresh and now I can be confident that with Secret Aluminum Free Deodorant I will!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;">4. Strong</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;">odour</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;">protection! I’m just gonna be real with you! A 24 hour period may come and go and this mama has not had a shower! Gross, I know! But that’s the reality of mom life sometimes! I like that I</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;">don’t</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;">have to worry about that with Secret Aluminum Free Deodorant. The new and improved version has 3 times more odour fighters than before.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;">Even more impressive – it fights odour for up to 48 hours! The sweat activated odour technology is amazing. It truly has me feeling fresh and smelling fresh all day! </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;">5. It’s part of self-care! 2020 has been an unexpected year, but some really good practices have come from it! I think health and wellness have been areas we’ve all focused on a little bit more than before. To me, self-care isn’t only doing a face mask or skincare routine. I like to look at it as doing something good for my body. That’s why Secret Aluminum Free is now an essential part of my morning routine! I’ve been using the</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;">coconut scent and</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 11pt;"> every time I open it, the smell puts me in a good mood! It smells that good!</span></p><div><br /></div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="background-color: white;">Do you see now why Secret Aluminum Free Deodorant is the best deodorant of 2020?

You just detach the dustbin, pop it onto the Clean Station, and the Clean Station automatically empties out all the dirt without any dust scattering back into the air. This helps you breathe cleaner air! When you’re all done, you just hang it back up on the wall and voila! <span style="font-size: 13pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>Medge Beauvoir-Yellowleeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12359733496927805134noreply@blogger.com123tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311036647249409346.post-10048639588643384352020-10-25T09:05:00.007-04:002020-10-27T22:29:01.436-04:00Keep Your Family Safe with First Alert<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b01e1b16-7fff-9dbe-bb71-6767354bfff7" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; text-align: start;"><span face="Lato, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 10pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Thank you <a href="http://clvr.li/vlsafety_ca" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">First Alert</a> for sponsoring this post.

To do that, we drafted out an Emergency Escape Plan. I got the markers out, sat Julien and Harper down and got to work! They had so much fun helping and learning about what to do in case of a fire emergency. Julien is already obsessed with firetrucks, so he felt like a proud little fireman learning about our escape paths.

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Happy New Year! It’s 2020! I can’t believe a whole decade of me being a real adult has gone by. It feels kinda nuts. Also, isn’t it crazy to think that someone born in the year 2000 is a 20 year old? And that The Wire, Gilmore girls and Friends were the shows to watch 20 years ago! I’ve never really felt old until January 1<sup>st</sup>, 2020! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So I’m </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">just going to keep it short. 2019 was a big year for me; I birthed another little human. I’m also very proud of my little community on Instagram. I’ve made some very good friends in this crazy world and I’ve progressed in my business in this space. I’ve also reached a level of self-love that I don’t think I’ve ever had before. I’m not going to be all dramatic, but essentially, I’ve decided to be kind and patient to myself. The unkind things we say about ourselves about our bodies we would <i>never </i>say to our closest friends, or even a stranger, so why subject ourselves to that kind of hatred? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That said, it’s still time for resolutions and I’m keeping mine pretty simple! First, I want to be a better mom. Perfection his unattainable, so just doing better will have to do. I want to put my phone down more when I’m with my babies, and I want to be more patient, especially with Julien. Three is a fun but challenging age; he pushes boundaries a lot. Sometimes it’s “sorry mama, I won’t do it again.” And other times it’s “no, mama! Leave me alone!” And he storms off to his bedroom. I mean, his world did change with Harper, and three is the age of emotions. So patience with him is my main mom goal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Second, I want to get back into the gym and start feeling good again. I’ve always been a gym person. Not athletic by any means; I’d rather drive than walk, but I was just getting into my running groove before this last pregnancy. I was so sick during the first trimester I had to stop, and then I just broke the working out habit in general. So getting back in the gym and running outdoors is a goal. I also miss feeling soreness from a good workout. Nothing beats that ‘oh shit, I can’t sit on the toilet’ soreness. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Third, I want to start being proud of being a micro-influencer. I’m not sure why I feel ashamed of what I do sometimes, but I know I shouldn’t. I always cringe when I say “I’m a blogger/influencer.” Why?!! People who want to judge will judge no matter what, so why give it more weight? I work damn hard at this and I should be proud of that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
Next, I want to read more. Simple. I used to read a ton. And now I watch tv shows on my free time instead of picking up a book. I need to change that. Balance.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lastly, I want to be less wasteful. I want to compost more. I want do donate more. I want to make meal prep plans before I go to the grocery store so that half my produce doesn’t just sit there and rot in the fridge. I want to look into the places I’m donating my gently used clothes and household items. I want to walk when I can instead of driving. I want to buy a little less fast fashion (which will be really hard!). Little by little, though. I started making a list of items I really want in a season so I can stop buying just to buy. And conveniently, with my kids, I can’t just go to the mall on a whim. So that helps. I also found that when I’m online shopping, putting a ton of stuff in my cart and then looking at the price at the end makes me just leave it all behind. Lol! I swear this works!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hopefully writhing that all out helps to keep me accountable! Happy 2020, you guys!!! And thank you so much for rocking with me in 2019!</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">t’s almost Christmas!! We just put up our tree TODAY! And I still have about 90% of my shopping to do. Okay, I fib, I fib – 95%! I’m low key freaking out but it’s okay. We’ll get there! The holidays bring on so much stress and I’m determined to not let it get to me entirely. I’m just taking it one day at a time until the 25<sup>th</sup>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So what is it about a pair of faux leather leggings that’s got a girl feeling herself! I bought these after Julien was born because I knew they would make me feel good once I could fit into them comfortably! They were kind of like my ‘goal’ pants, like some women have their skinny jeans. We’ll fast forward three years, and they still have the same effect on me! I’m not much of leggings outside of the gym person, but make them faux leather and I’m all over it! And then add a cute booty and a neon toque and I’m a whole new lady! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love fashion for this very reason. You don’t need very expensive things. For instance, these leggings are from Joe Fresh! You don’t need to decked out in the latest “it” items or trends. Not all trends are created equal for starters! And not every trend is intended for every <i>body</i>. You just need to be wearing something you feel good in. For me, that happens to be this almost three year old, $40 pair of faux leather leggings! Ok. I’m done. That’s all for my quick little fashion PSA. Thanks for tuning in! </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Let’s talk about the ‘snapback’ shall we. I, personally, am not a fan of the term. Actually, it’s more so the concept I hate. We hear it over and over gain that it takes nine months to grow a tiny human and it will take nine months for you to physically feel like yourself again. Yet, for some twisted reason, we’re all subjecting ourselves to this insane idea that you need to pop out that baby and look like your old self within weeks. Aaahhh – can you tell I’m annoyed? I’m not at all here for snapback culture.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

I’m not going to lie, <i>any </i>woman postnatal is elated when she’s given a compliment on her appearance. I mean let’s be real, she’s just spent nine months gaining weight rapidly, probably about 40 pounds, (maybe more, maybe less), and then she gives birth and only loses like 12 pounds altogether! Unfair! Sometimes the remaining weight drops off, and other times it really doesn’t. While I definitely understand why it can affect your self esteem, what really matters is that we were blessed enough to carry a child. So what if you’re a little more doughy afterwards? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

I’ve gotten so many messages and comments about my ‘snapback’ game and it feels really nice… for a fleeting moment because I know what’s actually happening under clothes. While it may <i>look </i>like I’ve lost a bunch of weight, the truth is my stomach is <i>destroyed</i>! I have stretch marks (which I didn’t get with Julien!) and my former mom pouch has reached a new level. Luckily, my taste in clothing benefits these new bodily treasures of mine. I love a good high waist jean and I’m not one to bare the tummy (I even love a high waist bikini bottom!). I laugh about it but I know that’s not every new mom’s reaction. <o:p></o:p></div>

I’m a huge believer of ‘look good, feel good.’ I love getting dressed every day and doing my hair and doing my makeup. It makes me happy so I find the 5-10 minutes to do it every day. And for me, that’s what’s going to motivate me to take care of myself. To go on long walks. To maybe put down second Hershey’s cookies n’ cream bar. What I’m not going to do is starve myself or workout out for 3 hours. I haven’t been to the gym yet and when I do, I’ll have like 30-40 minutes to get in and out. So it’ll be a bit of a process for me and I’m okay with that. Also, fake it till you make it, ladies. Get those control top panties. Gets your spanx on (as long as they’re comfortable and you can breathe). Just remember to be kind to yourself! You grew a human! And that girl whose body went back to her pre-baby self in no time – oh well. Nobody’s life is perfect, so trust and believe she has her own shit going on somewhere. And besides, her journey is not your journey. Your journey has your little person in it. Would you trade that? Never!! <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">It’s been a long while since I’ve posted on here, but I just figured why wait until the new year to make changes if the mood strikes now! If you follow along on Instagram, you know I was basically miserable towards the end of my pregnancy and actually went over my due date by a week. I gave birth to little miss Harper Belle on September 25</span><sup>th</sup><span style="font-size: 11pt;">and a little chubster she was, weighing in at nine pounds. My biggest worry about bringing home baby #2 was Julien. He is the first kid on both sides of our families and is absolutely spoiled. Surprisingly, he’s actually taking it very well. He loves Harper and always ask to hold her, hug her and kiss her. What I find interesting is that any frustrations he has is all geared towards Ben and I. He’s constantly testing boundaries with us, mentally and physically (like not listening when we say no and also pretending he’s a super hero when running his little body into my legs, full force). It’s also coming just before he turns three, and I’ve heard a lot about ‘threenagers’ and them being very in their feelings. I see that happening now. Julien will run off to his room and close the door when he’s upset. Am I weird for thinking it’s adorable!?</span><br />

So back to Harper! The beginning was a little tough. We had latch issues, a choking scare that landed us in the ER, the whole house down with the flu, and then I had mastitis! Not off to a good stat, but everything always comes in waves, right? Glad to report it is all better now. I’m not going to bore you with the ‘she’s a good baby’ talk. Like all babies, she has her moments, some great that will have me laughing and smiling for a long time and some bad that have me borderline in tears. She just started intentionally smiling in the last few weeks and it’s my absolute favourite thing. No, scratch that. My absolute favourite thing is when she smiles at Julien. She’s obsessed with him. When he walks by, or even just hearing his voice, she’s all smiles. He loves reading to her or telling her stories - it’s seriously the cutest. <o:p></o:p></div>

As for me, I’m doing well! I can’t like – and this is probably not PC to say – but with Julien, I found the first 3-4 months, pretty crappy…exhausting…shitty. During that time, I wouldn’t say I was miserable, but I was in a zombie state and convincing myself I was happy. I guess I’d classify that as the occasional baby blues. Hindsight is 20/20. It wasn’t until he was like five months when I was genuinely really happy that I realized what I felt before. I mean so much changes, it’s no surprise. This time around, I definitely am enjoying this state a lot more. I think it’s because I know just how fleeting it is. Also, I’m getting some sleep! Sleep makes such a difference. Julien was up every 2-3 hours for five months! Harper sleeps in 5, sometimes 6 hour blocks and it’s incredible! Sleep was my second biggest fear and thank God this baby came through for me! We’ll see where that four month sleep regression lands us!<o:p></o:p><br />

I always wondered how parents of multiples did it. It just looks like so much work to have two or more kids. Julien alone is a handful! The thought of a needy, crying baby gave me a lot of anxiety while I was pregnant. Now that we’re in the thick of it, I still don’t know the secret. Some days I feel like I’m rocking it, other days I think to myself I have no business having kids. Fact, I missed Harper’s two month checkup a couple days ago because I thought it was a different day of the week - #momfail. But honestly, I’m just happy to have them fed, bathed and alive at the end of the day! That’s always a #momwin in my book!<o:p></o:p></div>

33 weeks pregnant! Isn't that crazy? I feel like it was two months ago when I peed on a stick and saw that little positive sign. But that was actually in the beginning of January! So here I am now seven weeks away from meeting our little girl. This pregnancy has been very different from my pregnancy with Julien. I felt great from day one and was doing spin classes twice a week until 36 weeks. This pregnancy on the other hand, it started out rough! I was feeling violently hungover on a daily basis for 12-13 weeks accompanied by migraines, which usually resulted in... well, I'll spare you the gory details. Aside from that horrible first trimester, I also have a 30+ pound two year old who makes me chase him endlessly and wants to be carried 15 times a day. Circumstances are definitely different this time around! However, I'm feeling great and I wanted to share with you one of the major reasons as to why that is.<br />
<br />
I started going to <a href="https://westendmamas.ca/" target="_blank">West End Mamas</a> back in May. It is the greatest resource for all things pre and post baby (they even have services for your fertility journey!!). It's a wellness clinic that focuses on the well being of a mama. West End Mamas offer prenatal and postnatal care for moms and moms-to-be. Everyone's pregnancy is different and they are dedicated to making your journey the best it can possibly be for you. They offer an amazing amount of services and classes from acupuncture, pelvic floor physiotherapy, chiropractic care, doula services, breastfeeding support, counselling and so much more. And let me tell you, I've been reaping the benefits!<br />

I was never much of a yoga person, but I started feeling very tight and a bit uncomfortable in my body, to be honest. So I went in for a prenatal yoga class at the Bloor West Village location and it was just what I needed. Like one of those moments you didn't realize what you needed, but then you got it and it felt oh so good. When I started getting lower back pain, I decided to see Dr. Roy at the York Region location for chiropractic care. I have to stress to you that I had never done anything like this; never had any chiro, physio, acupuncture, nothing of that nature. She quickly came to the realization that my pelvis was uneven and was the cause of my back pain and it was all on the up and up from there. I've also received the best massages of my life at West End Mamas. The type where you do not want to get up fro the table when your 60 or 90 minutes is over. It's amazing how good you feel once you let professionals do what they do.<br />
<br />
As moms and moms-to-be, the greatest thing you can do for yourself and for your family is to take care of you. I can't recommend <a href="https://westendmamas.ca/" target="_blank">West End Mamas</a> enough! If you are in the Greater Toronto Area, you must check them out.

Happy New Year, lovelies! We are one week into 2019 and so far so good.. .but isn't it always? Mid February is when I usually start to kick myself for not staying on track with my goals. Usually my new years resolutions consist of losing weight, working out, losing more weight, fit into a smaller size, and then lose some extra weight. It's all quite monotonous really, and I'm no longer interested in that. I'm choosing to be kinder to myself. It's exhausting to always find something to pick at. Why are we our worst critics? This year, I've decided to focus on more positive things.<br />
<br />
<b>Be less wasteful.</b> We're bad at leftovers. We're even bad at actually <i>cooking</i> all the healthy stuff I buy and plan on making. The reality is that Uber Eats makes life too easy while simultaneously destroying our insdes and dwindling our bank account. So we've had to switch things up a bit to make sure we eat all the food in the fridge. One tip that's been helping a lot is having pita wraps around to stuff leftover meat and/or veggies, put some hummus or some salad dressing and voila. Another is cutting up veggies in bulk and storing them in the fridge so that they are easy to pull out to cook or easy to throw on a plate with a protein. So no more food in the bin, because that's just a disgusting privilege no one should have!<br />
<br />
<b>Be more mindful of what goes into my body. </b>Instead of focusing on the scale, which really doesn't reflect what's going on inside, I'm focusing on what I'm feeding my body. I have a weak, weak spot for ginger ale; I could have it five times a day if I had a 2L in my fridge. I also have an insane sweet tooth. I don't like chocolate very much, but any type of candy has me wrapped around its finger. So reducing those two things is going to be difficult, it's already proven to be, but I will continue to do my best. Even beyond refined sugar, there are so many questionable ingredients in all the food we consume. Cooking at home with fresh, local and organic ingredients is something I can control. There's really no going back on this commitment.<br />
<br />
<b>Be more present</b>. We live in a world today where it's really hard to unplug from all the screens in our lives. We're always checking up on something online or capturing what we're doing for the gram. Putting my phone down and being more present in the moment is a priority. Since it really is a serious addiction, I'm starting with small steps like keeping my phone at a walking distance when home with Julien and reading a book in bed instead of scrolling through Instagram.<br />
<br />
<b>Get shit done <i>now</i></b>. I remember hearing about this book or method a few months back, about not putting off things that take five to ten minutes. So whether the dishes need to get done, or putting laundry away, returning a call, getting gas, etc., if it takes you less than ten minutes, simply do it then and get it over with. It's so easy to get overwhelmed at the end of a long day or on Saturday morning when it's time to clean the house. Things go so much quicker and you get more time to relax. Ahh... relaxation. We can't always be relaxed but I don't know anyone who needs <i>extra </i>stress in their day to day life.<br />
<br />
Those are the four major ones for me. I'd love to know what some of you resolutions are! Also, please remember that the new year is fresh time to start new commitments and journeys, but any given day, any given moment is a great time to start as well!<br />

I think we can all agree that the wild notion that we can't wear white after Labor Day is and has been dead for years now. I mean, who even invented that? It's so archaic. Fashion has evolved so much that, in my opinion, there are no rules. I'm all about stretching your dollar, which in turn means stretching your cost per wear on anything you can. So here are my tips on how to keep wearing your favourite pair of white denim through the winter months.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. It's all in the colours.</b></span> </i>Even though I'm wearing white jeans here, the colour palette is still very much fall/winter with the camel tones. Try to warm up the white with creams, beiges, browns and camels, or stick with those rich and deep jewel tones. For example, this look would work just as well with a beige top and a burgundy blazer.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>2. Texture, texture, texture!</b></i></span> Pairing white with cable knits, tweed, cashmere or wool is a good way to go. Layering textures is also a great way to winterize white. When doing this, I would still stick to neutrals or jewel tones. Think white jeans, grey cable knit turtleneck, and a black wool coat. Or even white jeans with a nice hunter green pea coat with a beige knit underneath.<br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">3. Stay structured! </span></b></i>Speaking of coats, this next one is important. I've said this time and time again; nobody can argue with a killer 'omg this was <i>made</i> for you' fit. A well-fitting structured, long wool coat is something every woman needs in her closet. It can be a pattern (like plaid) or a solid, but bottom line is you have to feel freaking fabulous in it. I think it's safe to say that any structured long-line wool coat would pair beautifully with white denim. This is also where you could pull off a super chic monochromatic look with a beige coat.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>4. Accessorize!</i></b></span> Throw on that winter gear. Whether it's a beanie or a fedora, I find that a hat brings the chic factor to most looks during the fall and winter months. Boots are another great way to help make white appropriate. You can tuck them into thigh high boots or have the hem sit right at the ankle, just above the top of your booties. White jeans tucked into some brown leather boots and a camel colored rancher hat - ultimate level of chic! If you wanna go more for the cozy vibe, a plaid blanket scarf and a pom-pom beanie is definitely the way to go.<br />
<br />
I hope you find these tips helpful. I'd love to know if you try any of them!

Camel to me has become the quintessential colour of fall. And I'm trying to hold onto fall for a little while longer! So guys, there is no shame in my game! I've been wearing these jeans non-stop. I have them in two different washes and I think i wear them probably six out of seven days of the week. The other day, I'm most likely in black jeans for a change, or in pajamas chilling at home. I'm a firm believer in buying two of a piece if you <i>really </i>love something. I've done it with jeans, t-shirts, sweaters and I've never regretted it.<br />
<br />
On another note, happy shopping on this Cyber Monday! There have been so many shopping guides from bloggers so I'm sure you know where the best deals are. Though I didn't do any of that, I think I'm going to do holiday gift guides and have them up starting next week. Let me know if you have any specifics you'd like to see! Also, I have a collaboration this week with a shapewear brand and I'm really excited about it. One of the questions I get asked the most is which shapewear I like the best so I'm excited to share it with you ladies that are interested!<br />

Happy Monday! I got this coat last year and I'm still super in love with it this year. I don't think the plaid trend is going anywhere. Just like skinny jeans and and block heels, I'm pretty sure this is going to be a staple in our closets. The thing with trends is that it doesn't really matter if something comes and goes, if it fits well and is tailored to your body, it will always be in style. So my biggest advice while shopping right now - because let's face, it, we all shop for ourselves too while we're out doing the Christmas shopping; the sales are just too good - is to focus on fit. So you can still gravitate towards the trends like florals and plaid, but remember that it will only go the distance if it fits well. Proper fit equals chic. And chic is always in!<br />
<br />
I've always loved the look of a pretty coat or blazer caped over the shoulders. It looks so luxurious. So while I walked down the street with this coat properly on, I wanted to be a little extra while posing for these photos. I felt quite fabulous, I must admit! I wore this chunky turtleneck knit under with some raw hem jeans and white booties. I wore this sweater on my Instagram stories recently and got so many questions about it. It's like two year old Joe Fresh! It's no longer available, but I linked all similar looks below. Also, I've gotten requests to share my size in everything I wear so here it is below!<br />

Cheers! We've made it to the weekend! It's been a long week, so I'm looking forward to maybe sleeping in and things slowing down... I wish! Julien is approaching two and day by day is becoming more of a little raging psychopath. An adorable, sweet raging psychopath. It's all about balance, right? A little meltdown in a cafe here, and then hugs and 'thank you mama' there.<br />
<br />
I love a good blazer (check out my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tv/BpX2LIoAIfT/" target="_blank">IGTV video</a> on nine ways to style a plaid blazer). I got this double breasted blazer last year from H&M and it's probably my most coveted blazer. What I love most about it is that it's cinched in at the waist so it gives that va va voom effect, especially with a belt. I love pairing something so classic with these distressed jeans because it brings a little edge to the look. An unlikely combo is always refreshing. There's that balance thing again! I hope you have a good weekend!<br />

Happy Saturday! I was scrolling through old photos and realized I shot these last month and never posted them. So that warrants a post on this fine Saturday morning, don't you think? When I first put together this look, I was looking for my white booties to see if it would look cute. Interestingly enough, these mules were sitting in in front of them and they sucked me right in! I don't often see orange and red paired together, so I thought people may be like 'what in the heck is she wearing' (which, lets me honest, is fine by me! Dress for yourself first!!). However, when I posted it on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BoxXfgyATV9/" target="_blank">Insagram</a>, I was genuinely surprised at how many of you liked the combo. It's one of those combinations that's perfect for summer, but with some dark hue and a bit more texture, it works for fall and winter as well. I definitely will keep wearing orange and red and maybe even experiment a little more!<br />
<br />
PS: I got this sweater from Monki in Carnaby while in London. I almost bought the black one too, but for some unknown reason, I didn't. And naturally, I'm now regretting that decision. I wear this sweater far more than I care to admit and having the black one too would have been too good! Silly Medge! Silly, silly Medge!<br />
<br />
Hope you have a fabulous weekend!<br />

Happy Monday! I'm not really one of those people who puts my spring/summer clothes away to make room for the fall/winter stuff. I'm just not organized enough for that. I basically keep everything I own within reach, all year round. It's certainly not the smartest way to live. My clothes are always falling off the shelves and I'm always struggling to find specific items. It's just annoying, really. Well, let a girl spend 60 minutes down the Pinterest rabbit hole and it's a whole new person comes out on the other side!<br />
<br />
I'm going through a major keep or purge phase right now. That's right, I couldn't just put things away in a storage. I deemed it necessary to try on almost every single item to see what I wanted to keep, sell or donate. Contrary to popular belief, it did not feel like Carrie Bradshaw trying on all of her oh so Carrie outfits for her friends while they all sipped champagne. It was more like, solo mom trying to be as quiet as possible, hawking the baby monitor any time I made too much noise as if a bomb was going to go off. But I digress. It was still a little bit fun re-discovering my own wardrobe.<br />
<br />
The sweater I'm wearing here is actually a short sweater dress (also worn at my <a href="http://www.myvoguishdiaries.com/2016/10/bbq-beer-and-baby-boy.html" target="_blank">baby shower</a>) and I don't think I'm into the length of it anymore, but the colour is fantastic. So I wore it tucked into this skirt that I, for no good reason, haven't worn in probably three years. Finished it off with a white bootie and a gorgeous wine coloured top handle clutch. Can we talk about this clutch for a minute? This was a present from one of my bestest friends and it's one of those things I would buy myself. Don't you love when that happens? I think this colour is sold out, but I've linked the exact bag below.<br />

When looking at beauty brands, it's important for me to find products that a) deliver on their promises and b) don't have harsh ingredients that can harm my sensitive skin. Canadian brand Jouviance checks both of these boxes. I've been using the Skin GlowFX and the LashFX and both products have been amazing! They were created by a dermatologist which makes it suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive skin. These products are now staples in my beauty routine!<br />
<br />
Skin GlowFX is skincare before all. It's a skin perfecting cream that you can wear without makeup or as a base for your makeup routine. It blurs imperfections while restoring luminosity to your skins natural radiance. It has silk powder to tighten and reduce the appearance of pores. Skin GLow FX even has anti-aging active ingredients to protect your skin from external aggressions. And bonus, it also helps make your makeup long lasting. Winning at everything, am I right? Skin GlowFX has no silicones, no oils and is non comedogene. So you get that gorgeous, dewy glow without feeling or looking greasy. After my daily moisturizer, I simply apply this with my fingertips along my t-zone and where my pores are dilated and voila. Follow it up with a BB or CC cream or your favourite foundation and look at that skin glow! Get yours today <a href="http://bit.ly/2CE769o" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
The LashFX is also an amazing product. It's a twofer, and there's not much better than a twofer. On one end, there is the Tinted Fortifying Base which contains a powerful active-ingredient and vitamin E to help protect your brows and lashes against external aggressors. It comes in a universal black colour so you can wear it its own, or you can put on your favourite mascara for an even bigger effect. On the other side of the tube, there's the Night Fortifying Serum which you apply at night to your lashes and/or brows. This serum has a synergy of 5 powerful active-ingredients to help strengthen, fortify and stimulate lash and brow growth. Both ends have a special ingredient called Capixyl at a concentration of 5%, the maximum concentration for a lash and brow treatment. LashFX has been proven to grow thicker and longer lashes and eyebrow hairs by an average of 45% over 8 weeks. Get yours <a href="http://bit.ly/2RKRrJC" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Jouviance has become a go-to brand for me and these products are part of my beauty routine, both morning and night! You must check out the Skin GlowFX and LashFX by Jouviance. I can't rave about them enough.

Happy Friday! One week, two posts! Who am I!? Just a girl trying to get back on track with her passions. Let's talk about fashion uniforms. Is it okay to have one? I feel like there's such a bad connotation to having a go-to look that you know works for you. Maybe it stems from kids who wore uniforms to school... I mean who wore a uniform and didn't complain about it every once in a while. I complained about it probably on a weekly basis. I looked forward to those free days when you got to wear your own clothes. We all did! I wanted to show everyone 'look guys, I have a sense of style!' It's that one day where you didn't blend in.<br />

Fast forward 13 years, and my views on uniforms have changed completely; I'm actually a fan! Now don't get me wrong, I don't think we need to be wearing the same thing over and over again. Nor do I think we should all look the same or be dressed the same. However, there is something to be said about knowing what works and sticking to it. As a kid, I probably never admitted this, but wearing a uniform also had it's upside. I never had to worry about making an outfit and wondering if this goes with that and all those little stresses. Once you got your uniform tailored, it just always looked the way it looked. </div>

In my everyday life, I think I wear high waisted jeans and a t-shirt or sweater with flats or sneakers five out of seven days a week. I'm running after a toddler for most of my day. I <i>could </i>wear sweatpants. I <i> could </i>wear leggings. But I don't. Those are just not my style. I like a good fitting high waist pair of denim. Skinny jeans, mom jeans, boyfriend jeans, girlfriend jeans, straight leg, boot cut, whatever the cut. As long as their high waisted, fit the booty and I can bend over or breakout in a run at any given moment, I'm good to go. </div>

Do you feel my love for a good pair of denim? That's why when I have to dress up, I still want to reach for them. This is when I have to swap the tee for a pretty blouse, some dainty necklaces and a pretty lace peek-a-boo bra. Throw in a pretty pump and a bag to boot and I'm in my happy place! I also just love the combination of jeans and a pointed toe shoe. So the moral of the story is, It's okay to have a uniform. I look at it kind of like a comfort food recipe; it's always good, but sometimes you want it extra spicy to kick it up a notch. You with me? </div>

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. You guys know I'm a fan of fall. It's my favourite season. I love all the deep colours, the layers, the dark lipsticks - I'm here for all of it. But I also still love a pretty pastels, like these pale pink mules. These have been my favourite shoes since I purchased them in the spring, so naturally, I don't want to hang them up just yet. Let's just say they're staying in the rotation until there's snow on the ground. Just because the seasons have changed, it doesn't mean you can't transition your favourite pieces into autumn! I wore the pale pink shoes with some mom jeans and a turtleneck. Turtlenecks are quintessentially fall, so this outfit makes sense for this time of year. Although this turtleneck has a bunch of deep jewel tones in the stripes, there are some pale pink stripes in there which tie in the shoes a bit more.<br />
<br />
Speaking of turtlenecks, this entire look makes me think of the 90's. I don't really remember what it was like actually living in the 90's, however, I do remember what the fashion looked like in <i>Friends</i> and <i>Fresh Prince</i>. Looking back at it today, there are definitely elements I love about that decade. I love the gold jewelery. I own nothing silver (or white gold) except for my wedding ring and some old Tiffany's jewelry. Another thing I love from the 90's are the mom jeans. Boy, oh boy am I glad that mom jeans are in! I'd be wearing them regardless because they do wonders for this mom (yup, I'm pointing to myself!). They work for my hips and butt and they work for my mommy pouch; it's a win win, really. Turtlenecks are another favourite from the 90's. They were usually done in a solid black or a cream, which I love, but I'm also here for stripes and other patterns. Overall though, my favourite thing about the 90's was the minimalism. Think loose fitting white button down shirt, high waisted mom jeans with a black ankle boot and barely any accessories. Or maybe an oversized blazer over a black sleeveless turtleneck tucked into some bomb ass jeans. Simply perfection. Just let me have my big 80's hair and throw me in the time machine!<br />

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a fantastic long weekend. Now that Labour Day is behind us, it feels like it's time to really take charge of things that have just been overlooked or put at the bottom of that to-do list. For me, summertime was made to be lazy and break routines a bit. I'm not one for complete structure, but I definitely need to get my ass into gear. I started making to-do lists on my phone and now I'm addicted to crossing things off. That's normal right? In any case, September is sort of my back to school time too! Only, it's back to content creating regularly! I just want to be my best self and make time for things that bring me joy; blogging brings me joy. Why wait for new year's resolutions when now's a good time as any?<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I never thought I'd be one of those people bringing my DSLR to a lavender farm, but here I am, friends. This is not something I would think to do with Julien, but a friend recommended it after going with her two year old. I'm so glad she did because it came at a perfect time for us. Julien had a rough day the day before - he chipped his front tooth (poor baby!). We just needed something fun and different to do. Terre Bleu Lavender Farm was perfect. The kid ran up and down the lavender fields, he 'talked' to the horses and the sheep at the farm (no really, he said hello, babble babble babble, neigh, baa and then bye), and had the world's most delicious lavender ice cream. This pretty much goes without saying, but we'll be going again next year, only maybe in the beginning of August as opposed to the end of it; there wasn't too much lavender left. You guys know I love fall - it's my favourite season. But I do want to soak up every last bit of what's left of summer!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Isn't sad how much toddlers want no part of picture taking? My kid only cares about selfie cam so he can see himself moving in and out of the frame. If you have a toddler who likes posing with you, let me know your secrets! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
PS: I know I've shared some of these pictures on Instagram, but my favourite real life, unedited moment is when Julien had his snack in the middle of the field. He saw strawberries in the bag and had to have them right then and there. #toddlerlife right!? </div>

<br />
Have you ever bought something from a store and had horrible customer service, but still you love that item so you struggle when you get a compliment on it? That's what I'm struggling with right now. Let me give you the back story. One evening, as I'm casually strolling Instagram, an ad for Venidress.com pops up and I'm like 'ooouuhh, pretty, and super affordable'. So right then and there, I order four dresses. A few days go by and I didn't get an update on whether it's been shipped or not, but still, I think nothing of it. A week goes by, so I send an email and get no response. Now I'm getting a little annoyed. I direct message them on Instagram and immediately get a shipping notification. It's at this point that I actually start looking at their Instagram feed. All the pictures say there are like 20 comments, but when you click on the comment icon, there are no comments to be found! Which means they were deleted! I put their name into Google and started reading all the bad reviews. I was horrified. Some people never even got their orders!<br />
<br />
Then, there was a glimmer of hope! I got my box and there were four items. One by one I take them out of the packaging. The first two were great! Looked exactly like the pictures and bonus, they fit well. The third item was not exactly the colour I ordered (different shades of yellow), but the style was still very nice. And then with the fourth piece, disappointment and a little bit of panic set in. I had ordered a white button front dress and received a white cut-out petal top - just not my style. I left comments and basically harassed the brand until they BLOCKED me on Instagram! Isn't that wild!? I was shocked. I started getting messages from other ladies who had been screwed by Veniidress. Most of them said the company suggested selling whatever you didn't like yourself to get your money back and then offered a 10-15% discount. So to be clear, no refunds, get rid of it yourseld and a discount for future orders. Who the hell would buy from then twice, I have no idea.<br />
<br />
But you know what they say, persistence is key right? In the end, they ended up giving me a $20 refund (I still lost money because I'm pretty sure the dress was $29). So you get my dilemma right? I hate this company, but I do like three of the four pieces. I've made the decision that I'll link to similar styles when I wear it on on the blog or on Instagram. But please ladies, never shop at Venidress.com! Some tips that go without saying: If you've never heard of the company before, do some thorough investigating. Google, creep their account, look everywhere! My main lesson I got from this is when it comes to trendy, inexpensive things, I'll just stick to Forever 21 and H&M or the sales section of other stores I love. This headache was not worth saving a few bucks!<br />

Hi friends! It's been months since I posted here so I figured there's no better time than the present to actually get shit done. So here I am! How has your summer been going!? Mine has been really great so far. The weather has been amazing - very hot, but amazing nonetheless. Julien is almost 19 months now and we basically spend all of our time outside on walks, at parks and splash pads! I really do mean always outside. I mean, did my foot tan give it away!? How ridiculous is that. But seriously, note to self, don't wear the same sandals day in and day out while you're in the baking sun; it could make for a pretty aggressive foot tan. So be careful out there! And don't worry, Julien is well cared for in the sun protection department!<br />
<br />
On another note, I turned 30 a couple of weeks ago. I always saw myself having a big bash for my 30th birthday, but when time came, I just wanted to keep it super low-key. We went to a movie and had dinner. Just typing that out was embarrassing! So boring, I know, but I'm my happiest being boring these days. Maybe one day that 'let's go out and get shit faced' girl will rear her ugly little head - I highly, highly doubt it, but never say never, right? It's so cliché, but having a toddler may have turned me into a homebody. I now get excited for daytime adventures so that we can curl up on the couch with takeout and watch a show for a couple of hours after Julien has gone down. That is literally my perfect evening! I don't think you need to be a mom to relate to that. I know I'm not alone in this right?<br />
<br />
Floral prints are so pretty to me right now. I couldn't help getting this little tube top bodysuit just for the print. I don't usually do tube tops because I have DD's and like to wear straps, but this was the exception. The worry of a tube top falling down will always be there, but this particular top earned some points for being a bodysuit. This one fits pretty well which made me comfortable. Never wear things that you're not comfortable in. There's nothing worse than tugging and pulling on your clothes constantly because things don't fit or feel awkward. Even if it's a nice outfit. A confident, comfortable look is always a win!<br />

Happy Monday! Is it just me or does anyone else feel like the check/plaid blazer isn't going anywhere? I feel like it's the new blazer staple. I'd reach for this one far more than I'd reach for my black one. The same goes for my coats. I haven't worn my black pea coat once this season, and that's pretty crazy for me. I've worn my checked coat at least a few days a week. I've determined that from now until the end of time, a checked blazer will be a classic.<br />
<br />
How cute are these mules by the way? I'm also loving the red trend from this past season and I don't think it's going anywhere just yet. This punchy orangy red is everything to me right now. I scored these ones at a great price from Forever 21 (linked below). You can also shop all of my links <a href="http://www.myvoguishdiaries.com/p/shop.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
