As a beauty product addict, I've always been a lover of Cake Beauty . This Canadian beauty company has been delivering naturally luxe and cruelty-free products for the hair and body since 2003.  Cake recently came out with an absolutely delicious Dry Styling Hair Collection and although I've tried many different dry shampoos, nothing delivers like Cake does. Also? Nothing smells more delicious.  Here's why I'm loving the Cake Dry Styling Hair Collection: Naturally Luxe: Each product is filled with high-performing natural ingredients, leaving you with truly flawless and fabulous looking hair that's not caked (pardon the pun) with harsh chemicals.  Cruelty Free and Vegan: Here's something we can all agree on: products that aren't tested on animals are the products we should be buying. Cake Beauty believes in "beauty without bunnies" and that's why they never test their products on animals or use any animal-derived ingredients

There are certain items every woman should have in her closet. These essential pieces (the building blocks for any wardrobe) will never go out of style: black and nude pumps, a little black dress, a great beige trench coat, a pencil skirt, a white button-down shirt, a perfectly fitted T-shirt, blue jeans, and a leather jacket. I have been obsessively looking for a stylish and practical leather jacket , so when I received an email a few weeks ago asking if I wanted to review a leather jacket by  Page Thirty , I instantly said yes. I was a little apprehensive at first because ordering online can sometimes be stressful, but I received the jacket I selected within days, and it fit like a glove. I chose the black bomber leather jacket , Frankie. Although pricey, it's a leather jacket you'll wear season after season and it'll become the jacket you can keep in your wardrobe forever. Page Thirty is a fairly new company out of California which specializes in contemp

I just got back from a hot and sunny vacation in Miami. One week away from winter (and all the snow) was just what I needed, except now, all I'm thinking about is my next getaway, even though summer is nowhere in sight.  One thing I love about travelling is all the shopping I do before I go away... like shopping for a new bikini or bathing suit, even though it can be stressful since the choices are endless. I loved partnering up with  Swimco , because this Canadian company knows swimwear well–after all, they've been in the business since 1975 and they're one of the largest swimwear retail chains in North America. Shopping Swimco online is an easy and fun experience with great customer service available to help you find just what you're looking for. They have a huge selection of women's, men's, and children's swimwear and beach accessories, and even though you're faced with a huge selection of swimwear options, it's easy to narrow down your se

One of my favourite places to escape to is Bal Harbour in Miami. For those who love the life of luxury, there is no better place to go in south Florida. The Bal Harbour village is stylish, luxurious, and relaxing. From oceanfront hotels to the best shopping in the world at Bal Harbour Shops, there is always something to do, whether you're travelling with friends, family, or as a couple. People watching at Carpaccio's in the Bal Harbour Shops, swimming in the Atlantic Ocean, enjoying a cabana at the Ritz-Carlton, or relaxing by the pool, Bal Harbour is simply paradise. Quarzo Bal Harbour The Bal Harbour Quarzo Boutique Hotel is a modern European-style waterfront hotel next to the Ritz-Carlton. This hotel features spacious accommodations and residence-style studios and suites—truly a home away from home for people travelling with a large family and children. I loved the clean and spacious rooms. Our suite had two large bedrooms, (one with two queen-sized beds, and one wit

Valentine's Day is a sweet way to celebrate love and friendship and it's the perfect day to show how you feel about someone by surprising them with an unexpected gift to show you care. I was on CTV Morning Live and CTV Noon talking about some amazing gift ideas—from beauty products to chocolates and everything in between—guaranteed to please everyone on your list. For the beauty and hair lover: Fragrance: What could be sweeter than a new fragrance to receive for Valentine's Day? Hudson's Bay has an incredible selection of classic and new fragrances and my personal favourite scents for Valentine's Day are Prada Candy, Tory Burch Love Relentlessly, Chloé Love Story and Fleur Musc by Narciso Rodriguez. Omorovicza: This skin care company has great products for those who love to take care of their skin. Their Perfecting Lip Balm is perfect for soft, kissable lips, and sells for $45. It helps plumps lips while hydrating them. Omorovicza Gold Hydrating M
