Today’s post is a little bit different! I’ve discovered several great new products lately, so I wanted to share some of my favourites. In no particular order, here’s some of my favourite products this month:

Bracelet Bar via Target

A few weeks ago, a friend and I drove out to Buffalo, because we’d both been craving a Target run. She was on the hunt for a few home decor pieces like some American wall art prints, and I was on the hunt for…whatever caught my attention. I ended up with a few great finds from the Dollar Spot, some props for my flat lays…and the West Emory Extended Bracelet Bar. I’ve been using it as a space to store my watches, since my bracelets live elsewhere. Life changing! If you’re lacking in storage for watches or bracelets, you need this.

Benefit Cosmetics – Watt’s Up!

I’ve been a fan of Benefit Cosmetics for quite a few years now, and have been using High Beam as my go-to highlighter. On a recent trip to the Drug Store, I discovered Watt’s Up! and decided to give it a try. It’s a lot easier to use than High Beam, because you can apply it directly to your face (as opposed to your hand first). It blends easily into your skin to give you the perfect dewy glow.

Benefit Cosmetics – Porefessional Face Primer (c/o)


Don’t let the name fool you. This product isn’t just great for minimizing pores! I tried Porefessional at my local drug store, and was told to try it as a replacement to my other face primer. Lo and behold, it helps to smooth out fine lines and any imperfections. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and it’s become my go-to primer!

Benefit Cosmetics – Posie Balm (c/o)

I received Posie Balm in a gift bag a couple of weeks ago, and while it’s not my typical shade (I prefer a bolder lip), I absolutely adore the smell. It adds a lot of moisture to my lips, with just a subtle hint of pink. It’s great for layering on top of other lipsticks, which lets me create my own custom colours.

Justin’s Mini Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Umm…no words for these, other than the fact that they’re amazing! I love that they’re not too sweet, and are the perfect size for snacking. Seriously, I’m obsessed with these!

Sahajan Skincare from Blossom Lounge (c/o)


Sahajan Skincare is a line of skin and hair products, made right here in Toronto! Their products are all organic, natural, eco-friendly…and they smell incredible. I’ve been using some samples of a few of their products, but if I had to recommend just one, it’s defintiely the face serum. The serum is unlike any other that I’ve tried. It’s a lot less oily than a typical face serum, and leaves my skin feeling super soft and healthy.

Have you tried any of these products before? I’d love to hear your thoughts, too!

    Wow! I need that bracelet bar! I really like to simplify my vanity and I can’t store my watches in their boxes – too space-consuming!

2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all r 2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all remember. It’s been a big rollercoaster, but there’s no one else I’d rather ride it with than @woodley.matt 🥰

We’ve endured so.many.challenges this year...but we’ve also had some of the best and most exciting moments of our lives this year.

I still can’t believe we bought a house, got engaged AND got a puppy this year (all within a month)! 🤯

Nobody knows what 2021 will bring, but what we do know is, it will start the same way 2020 ended: at home.

I also know we will finally be finishing and moving into our new home in early 2021, and I CANNOT WAIT!! As for wedding plans...ehh, it’s a little tricky to plan these days, so we’ll cross that bridge a little later 😜 

Wishing you all a safe and happy new year at home! 🥳 (which I’m totally okay with - I’m a 👵🏻 anyways)

Now that these have been gifted, I can share these Now that these have been gifted, I can share these! 

I picked up knitting needles for the first time in 10+ years (maybe more?!) at the start of the pandemic. I bought a DIY unicorn kit and it took me months before I got around to finishing it. Still, I enjoyed it. 

So, this year, I thought it would be fun to knit up a few gifts for Christmas presents. 

My next project? I’m going to attempt to knit myself a cardigan. 🤭😲🤗

Christmas 2020 - like many things this year, not “normal,” but we made plenty of memories. 

We had a low-key Christmas morning, filled with Bailey’s coffee, Miller snuggles (and weird facial expressions) and cinnamon buns. We finished off the day with a Jewish Christmas dinner: Chinese take out!

2020 is the year of the handwritten, handmade card 2020 is the year of the handwritten, handmade card - at least, at my house! Actually, it’s more than cards being handmade these days 😌

I’m finishing up the last of the gifting projects and then it’s onto baking cookies! 💁🏼‍♀️

I *think* I know what I’ll be baking...but I’m having a tough time committing 🤪

Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁 Even though it hasn Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁

Even though it hasn’t been a “normal” Thanksgiving weekend, there is so much to be thankful for. 

One (very) small thing I’m thankful for is that I took Matt’s advice on forgoing my usual butter-only pie crust recipe for one that includes shortening. I used the pumpkin pie recipe from @sallysbakeblog - including the mix of shortening and butter in the crust. I think it was my best pumpkin pie yet! 
(The Turkey was fantastic too of course 😏)
