What do you look for in a hairdresser? Mine is excellent. No. I'm serious. She just gets me. She's intuitive, fast, fashion forward and genuinely concerned about the health of my hair- and of course- how I feel:) I need to look stylish and upbeat- while keeping my mane luscious and healthy. I've learned that... Continue Reading →
He’s Got Smoothie Written All Over Him…A Healthy Lifestyle
He looks the part alright...healthy, lean and chiseled - that would be my darling husband. One of his health rituals (more on those another time), is making killer smoothies every morning.

I'm definitely a Lisa fan and have been admiring her work ever since the Cindy Crawford days of Elle magazine. The looks she develops are as contrasting as it gets- from sci-fi drama glam to primrose debutante. Her every day looks are always perfectly flawless as her cat-walk styles, outrageous. I will be posting some... Continue Reading →
The GREEKS
Never, ever, wait for the last day to go see a popular exhibition. The lineup at Pointe Calliere Museum in Montreal's Old Port was exhaustingly discouraging, yet well worth toughing it out- and I'm so glad I did! Some of my favourite pieces included the warrior helmets adorned in gold. But what really seized the... Continue Reading →
