Why I can't get into health food trends


It seems like every other week a new super food is introduced to our collective vocabulary. Everyone who is anyone is eating it, juicing it, and doing everything else with it you could think of. Restaurants like Fresh are all the rage, and everyone is eating vegetarian, raw, vegan or a combination of the three.

Health Kick



I don't know about you, but for me, the spring time has this way of making me feel like I need to get in shape. (Maybe it's the dresses or bikinis... maybe its that spending time outside and NOT on Netflix takes up more physical energy... who knows?) Not only that, but coming out of a full year away from home at university has sent my eating habits way out of whack. (Freshman fifteen, anyone?)

Fresh Spring Beauty Essentials

Life of an Intern



As I've mentioned in previous posts and videos, I'm a intern this summer! I'm not sure I want to entirely disclose all the details about where I work, etc, but I still want to share as much of my experience as I can.

My Return to the Online World





So, it's been a while. I have unfortunately left this blog vacant for far too long (has it really been more than three weeks?) and I apologize greatly for that. Stuff has really been going crazy in my life since I posted my April fashion blog favourites, including leaving school and moving to Toronto for the summer (!!). But, now that I am getting more settled in my new life as a fashion intern (more on that later) I feel able to return to blogging at a somewhat normal pace.
