How to Build a Capsule Wardrobe for Women

January 28, 2025

When I was younger, I used to grab whatever sparked my eye while walking through the mall. I subscribed vehemently to fast fashion and had overflowing closets. I would have to clean out my closet frequently due to overflow. When I cleaned, I would find clothing with tags on them pushed to the back that I forgot to wear. It was overwhelming, wasteful and expensive. I didn’t understand the concept of staple wardrobe pieces, investment pieces, or capsule wardrobes. Capsule wardrobes have become more popular in the last decade or two. They encompass minimalism, style and organization. I want to share my fashion journey from chaos to calm for others. This is all about how to create a seamless closet with an example of the perfect neutral capsule wardrobe.

If you’re already a capsule wardrobe pro and want to peruse the links to my neutral capsule wardrobe, feel free to scroll to the bottom.

Where to Buy Clean Beauty & Non-toxic Products in Canada

October 22, 2024

When it comes to finding natural and non toxic products that you enjoy and use in your home, accessibility can sometimes be an issue. When in Canada, that accessibility becomes even more limited. Most of the popular wellness brands hail from the United States. This is a barrier for most who don’t want to be spending so much on conversions rates, shipping rates, and dreaded duty fees. Even if I had all the money in the world, I would not welcome that unexpected $60 duty fee at my door. That being said, there ARE some really great wellness brands and stores in Canada. You just have to know what they are. So this article is dedicated to rounding up some of my favorite options for those who live in Canada.

The Best Organic and Non Toxic Self Tanner

January 10, 2024

If you’re looking for a good organic and non toxic self tanner, look no further. Everyone loves a good glow to their skin. If you live in a Northern area like me where the snow takes over half of the year, you’ll appreciate having an option even more so. I always feel a bit more confident when I have a bit of a tan to an otherwise pale complexion. That being said, I don’t have access to warmth in the sun all year. I love the sun and all the health benefits it has to offer. But even in the summer months, I like to moderate my time to ensure I’m not contributing to fine lines and wrinkles. I often turn to self tanner when I am craving that bit of glow. Most self tanners on the market are quite toxic and not something I’d want to be putting all over. Eventually  I stumbled upon a unicorn and I am sharing all about it.
