It’s officially fall and I am excited to share some of my favourite fashion trends and things to do with the family in the weeks to come. Additionally, I have a list of flavourful recipes that I have improvised to play into the season, and this weeks’ edition is a delicious appetizer to eat alone…
My Weekly Fitness Routine
Being a mom back to work has limited my spare time drastically. Gone are the days of long leisure walks, midday windows to be active, and searching for things to do on maternity leave. Now it’s most important to create time for fitness in order to feel strong enough to keep up with my ever-busy and…
Opening up about anxiety
Mental health is not talked about enough. One in four people will experience a mental illness at some point in their lives, and nearly two-thirds of those will never seek professional treatment. Why do most people avoid treatment for mental illness? The most common barriers include stigma, fear, embarrassment and finances. Why the stigma towards…
Personal with Pachulah
Before becoming familiar with Pachulah, I never understood the impact that a delicate piece of jewelry could have. My first encounter with a Pachulah necklace was a few years ago in the chair of a friend doing my makeup at Sephora, and I remember being mesmerized by the gold chained choker that complimented her so…
The 5 Things Challenge
A friend recently asked me to challenge myself in coming up with 5 things that I like about myself and 5 things that I would like to improve on. At first it feels a little awkward to create a written list of attributes about yourself, but I also found the introspective navigation to be surprisingly…

Sometimes it takes a bit of improvising in the kitchen, but whenever I’m feeling creative I love to experiment with a distinct ethnicity in mind and then brainstorm complimentary ingredients from there.

These are the stream of thoughts often troubling much of our culture, even those who are seemingly unaffected by the pressures of modern-day society. Now more than ever, companies are asking more from their employees with…
Starting a blog
Beginning this year, once all the hype of New Year’s Eve transitioned into promising resolutions for 2018, something paramount happened. Like many in their late 20’s, over the years I have felt a progressive sense of identity or “quarter-life” crisis, and further, studies show that people in this age group tend to experience a sharp increase…
The Perfect Dress
When it starts to get warm out and work pants begin to feel impossibly restricting, I always take a minute to remember my slim pickings of last summer’s business-casual in the closet. I also think back to those sunny months that I was pregnant and running out of clothing options to feel comfortably cute…
