The Montreal Styling Diva – Fashion Confessions
So you’re bundling up for the cold. Mitts, hat and scarf, heavy coat, boots- all set...but what about your skin? Are you preparing your gorgeous face for our cold winters? Moisturizing and prepping is most important at any age but even more so in your 50’s and up. By middle age our skin loses it’s... Continue Reading →
Has the Christmas hustle and bustle caught up with you yet- or are you ready and as cool as can be? I think that organisation is key, that’s for sure. But more than that, is to have a serene and organised state of mind. To be at peace that "all is well". For years I’ve... Continue Reading →
Getting a dog during your middle years is an important decision. Often, we get a puppy when our kids are young- and we have the energy to potty train...and the rest that goes along with a new pup in the house.

Took a great deal of life to get us where we are dear Divas. Most of us have had our share of life’s ups and downs, with all the caring, nurturing, loving, raising, care taking and working that we’ve done. We deserve to be happy and enjoy the smallest or mega things we embark on.... Continue Reading →
I didn't get a chance to post much while in Slovenia- as my daughter's figure skating competition was the only thing on my mind. Ahh Ljubljana! (pronounced Lubliana). I loved this bustling yet quaint little city! The people were very friendly and hospitable (and everyone speaks English- thankfully! The food was fine- although I have... Continue Reading →
Due to fast fashion, the Vintage rule has now changed from 50 years to 10. Meaning that if you bought something in, say, 2008, it can now be called one of your vintage collectibles.
