Holiday Look

12.19.2016

So many of you, and I as well, have Holiday parties coming up. My first is coming up this Thursday and I have absolutely no clue what to wear. I've come up with a few ideas and would love your opinion.
Here's one outfit I had in mind. High waist dress pants paired with a bralette and a blazer. Thoughts?

Zaful - your one stop shop

11.15.2016

One of the hottest trends occurring right now is the “exaggerated sleeve”. Whether it be oversize, extra long, flared, etc., it’s all the new craze. So when I laid my eyes upon this chunky knit sweater with bell sleeves on Zaful for only $19.99, I had to have it no questions asked.
Zaful is your one-stop online shop for today’s fashion forward girl who’s looking for exciting and edgy clothing, shoes and accessories. And let’s not forget, extremely affordable which is a huge plus for me. The quality of the sweater is great and really worth more than $19.99. But I’m not complaining J
I received the top in no time and it excellent condition. For the first time EVER, I can actually say that I’m looking forward to a chillier day so I can wear it. But just one day!

Why do I take supplements?

11.08.2016

As a bikini competitor in the bodybuilding industry, I often get asked, "Why do you take supplements?"
My answer: Supplements make it much easier to get the necessary nutrients to build muscle and can even give you an advantage and enhance your training when taken right and combined with a good diet.

My current stack (supplements I use on a daily basis) is from ATP because they carry products that are pure, effective and of highest quality.


New Zealand Whey Protein Powder in Chocolate Truffle: Its high biological value allows for complete absorption and encourages muscular and immune system recovery. Free of hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, gluten, GMO's and artificial colours.

IBCAA in Raspberry flavour: For muscle recovery and boosts protein. Increases energy, muscle mass and enhances recovery.

Glutamed: The highest combination of glutamine and glycine. Glutamine is the most important component of muscle protein, and helps repair and build muscle. Glycine is one of 20 amino acids used to make protein in the body, which builds the tissue that forms organs, joints and muscles.
 
And for all you ladies out there:

Estro Control: Helps promote healthy estrogen metabolism/balance, detox your body, reduce cellulite, stimulate weight loss (especially in the lower limbs), increase energy, and enhance libido.
 
 
I have not yet begun prepping yet for my next show, so my stack is pretty basic however I will keep you posted on everything I use throughout my journey to the National stage in 2017.

Conair - Infiniti Pro Curl Secret

10.04.2016


As difficult as it is to believe, I’ve always struggled with achieving the perfect wave in my hair. I’ve tried using a flat iron, a standard curler, a wand, but I just didn’t turn out looking like all those girls with the flawless curls. So my hair was and has always been in constant straight mode. Except for the dirty gym hair bun :)
In come the Conair Infiniti Pro Curl Secret. To be honest with you, I was a little hesitant in trying it. What if my hair gets tangled in it and I had to chop it off? I just kept on envisioning the disaster of the woman who takes on the rotating corn challenge and gets her hair caught, leaving her with a huge bald spot right on the top of her head. EEK!!!!! But…I mustered up the courage to give it a try…starting with a strand from the back under my head of course. I’m adventurous but I’m no dummy :) So far so good, and attained a perfect wave. A mere 5 minutes later, I managed to complete my entire head and let me tell you…I LOVE IT!!!! Where has this tool been all my life? The curler has 2 heat settings and 3 timer settings. The higher the setting, the tighter the curl. I used the lowest setting for both along with no products (my hair was freshly cleaned and blow dried as of that morning) and it left me with a beautiful beach wave. No hair was lost, no fingers were burned and no patience had run out in the process. This curler from heaven comes highly recommended by me, the woman who’s tried everything imaginable to get even a slight wave in her hair. Thumbs up Conair!

Polette

8.22.2016

Four reasons why you should be buying your sunglasses and eyeglasses from Polette.
 
1. They have the lowest prices on the market.
2. A vast array of original frames which are trendy and with great quality.
3. They omit the wholesaler and the importer so goods are sent to you directly from factories.
4. I actually don't need another reason. Check them out and you'll thank me that you did.

Only You - Inspiration

8.18.2016

Where do you get your fashion inspiration from? I get mine from other bloggers, brand lookbooks, movies, etc.
Last year, I laced up my sneakers around my ankle rather than your typical bunny ears tie.
I thought it was pretty cool and as you can see from my Instagram, still do it to this day. Lace-up anything is incredibly trendy now so I fit right in :)
I got my inspiration from the movie Only You featuring Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr. It's an older movie from 1994 and if you're a hopeless romantic as I am, you'll love it just as much as I do. God knows how many times I've seen it and can probably recite the entire film out to you.
Thinking back on the film, I realize that not only are the way she tied her sneakers in the film trendy, but other outfits as well are pretty relevant today.
Shop a few looks below and if you haven't watched the movie yet...in the words of Ellie Goulding, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Big Mac Pizza - Say What???

8.16.2016


I love Big Mac's. I love pizza. Combine the two together and you have one of the most tantalizing meals you'll ever have. A Big Mac Pizza!
I first tasted this a year ago at a local café and instantly fell in love. This past weekend, we organized a pizza party at my place and of course, I had to try and replicate the infamous b-mac pizza for everyone. Score! It was devoured and gone in minutes. The top pizza of the night by far.
The recipe I followed was from Kraft. Easy and delicious :)
 
Ingredients
  • Ground beef
  • Kraft Thousand island Dressing
  • 1 pizza crust
  • Kraft Pizza Four Cheese Blend
  • Lettuce
  • Pickle slices (optional)
 
1. Brown ground beef in a skillet.
2. Spread 1/2 cup of dressing on pizza crust.
3. Sprinkle on 1 cup of cheese.
4. Place desired amount of cooked ground beef on top of cheese layer.
5. Cover with another cup of cheese.
6. Bake in oven at 425 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
7. Shred lettuce and place on pizza with pickle slices.
(I omitted the pickles as I also do with my Big Mac, and I sprinkled some more dressing on pizza before serving.)
 
Bon Appetit!

Genuine Health x Quality Rivets

8.02.2016

Do you suffer from headaches, back pain and muscle aches? I know I do!
  • As a bodybuilder, I train hard at the gym.
  • I work 8hr days sitting in front of a computer.
  • I have a lot of tension in my shoulders.
All of the above subjects me to muscle pains, back aches, and headaches. Therefore I was extremely happy when contacted to try out Genuine Health’s all-natural, powerful pain relief line which features three fast-acting formulas – FAST arthritis pain relief+, FAST joint care+, and FAST pain relief+.
The key ingredient in all 3 formulas is BiovaFlex natural eggshell membrane – the most potent form of research-proven eggshell membrane that relieves pain, decreases inflammation and helps to nourish and repair damaged joint tissue – with results in only 5 days! There is no other ingredient like it on the market!
Users of Genuine Health’s formula are 5X more likely to experience a 50% reduction in pain vs. glucosamine, and 3X more likely to experience a 50% reduction in pain vs. a leading Rx drug for joint pain.
I didn’t believe it at first but let me tell you, it works! I have been taking the FAST pain relief+ for a week now and my chronic shoulder pain and headaches have reduced by at least 70%. I am not kidding. I take these pills as suggested on package, 3x/day. And I love that the product is all natural, gluten-free, non-GMO and soy free.
I highly recommend giving these products a try if you suffer as I did. Did being the operative word here J
To help you out, click here to get your $5 coupon to help save on any Genuine Health pain relief product and also click here to see all locations on where to purchase their products.
 



FAST pain relief+ is the latest all-natural, clinical strength supplement to help relieve acute pain, such as headaches, back pain, muscle aches and chronic flare-ups. It’s made with the unique combination of Biovaflex natural eggshell membrane, Devil’s Claw (a natural anti-inflammatory ingredient), and White Willow Bark (nature’s Aspirin), FAST pain relief+ gives you the fastest, most targeted and effective way to manage your pain. Its benefits include fast natural pain relief that works in 2 hours, targets acute pain and can prevent chronic flare-ups, and non-drowsy with no negative side effects reported. Only 3 veggie capsules per day.
FAST joint care+ provides effective relief from joint pain and inflammation – naturally. Its formula provides the fastest, most effective way to improve mobility and range of motion due to osteoarthritis joint pain and joint stiffness. It’s fast, natural and relieves pain within 5 days. It increases mobility and range of motion with noticeable reduction in inflammatory markers like C Reactive protein and helps build joint cartilage while improving long-term joint health. Only 1 veggie capsule a day.
FAST arthritis pain relief+ provides you with all the benefits of FAST joint care+ with the addition of two potent anti-inflammatories shown to provide superior support and nourishment to those suffering from osteoarthritis. Its made with the robust combination of Biovaflex natural eggshell membrane, AvoVida (from avocados) and Bromelain (from pineapples). It is the fastest, most effective way to reduce arthritis pain, stiffness and inflammation. It also increases mobility and range of motion with noticeable reduction in inflammatory markers like C Reactive protein. AvoVida increases joint space lost from degenerative changes from osteoarthritis. It’s also highly anti0inflammatory thanks to Bromelain – a natural enzyme found in pineapples.

FYSHUK

6.23.2016

Repeat after me: “I deserve a new pair of sunglasses!”
You’re too lazy to put on eye make-up…put on sunglasses.
You partied way too hard the night before and even heavy-duty concealer can’t hide your eye bags and dark circles…put on sunglasses.
It’s an incredibly sunny day…put on sunglasses.
You’re just in one of “those moods” and you want to block out the haters and mask your eye-rolls…put on sunglasses.
You want to check out guys while remaining inconspicuous…put on sunglasses.
Oh yeah, you want to keep your eyes healthy of course…put on sunglasses.
 
There really is absolutely no reason to not own a few pairs. I legit have a pair in my purse, my car, my closet, my office, my husband’s closet, and I’m sure some are lost in places I wouldn’t even be able to imagine.
So you don’t own a pair…shame on you, where have you been hiding…or you want to buy another, well look no further. FYSHUK has got you covered. They are an international brand who have just launched a trendy sunglass line. They carry unique high quality designs and all sunnies come with lenses that are adaptable to prescription lenses allowing for a harmonious blend of fashion and function.
I am wearing style F-2003-206 in colour Honey Tortoise.

Petit Lapin

4.22.2016

I had the privilege of attending the 2 year anniversary of Petit Lapin Patisserie. Petit Lapin is a bakery where they provide all food lovers with delicious sweet treats that are allergen free, gluten free and lactose free along with organic and vegan products. We also celebrated the launch of their Deluxe Cupcakes which is a merging of cupcake and donut in one single bite. Just delectable!
Viviane Nguyen, the founder of Petit Lapin, opened up this bakery because of her undying love for her son who is allergic to many foods out there. After many numerous phone calls and bakery visits, she could not find a cake that she can give her son for his very first birthday. And what’s a first birthday without a good ol’ cake smash? So she decided to take matters into her own hands. After extensive research and trial and errors, she managed to bake her son his very first cake and he got to experience it like every kid, all over his face.
She wanted other kids and adults to enjoy this same feeling therefore she opened up Petit Lapin, a special, kid friendly and colorful place where she serves classic sweet treats that are not only allergen free but also as delicious or even better than traditional recipes. A first in Montreal!

Marc Cain x Canada

4.07.2016

Last night I had the great opportunity to preview MarcCain’s FW16 collection.
Marc Cain, founded in 1973 by its Managing Director Helmut Schlotterer, is a fashion brand made from the finest quality Italian fabrics. Their vision is simple, “Fashion that is always a little bit different and yet always true to itself.”
Their FW16 collection consisted of some gorgeous pastels, timeless black & white pieces, mixes of patterns, Victorian influences and some funky bold pieces that I would kill for. I mean, that black leather jacket with the fur collar…I DIE! They also introduced the new label Bags & Shoes which stands out from the rest with its unique designs. They unfortunately did not have samples on hand but I was able to review their lookbooks and instantly fell in love…especially with the white hi-top sneakers.
“The Marc Cain woman lives for today, is confident, open-minded and curious. She loves being a woman, which she expresses through what she wears – naturally and effortlessly.”

Hiphunters

3.17.2016

Where does one go to shop over 6000 designer brands of women, men, kids, clothing, accessories and much more?
Hiphunters is your one stop shop where you can purchase carefully selected key items of the season from up and coming designers as well as some household favourites. Shop right from the comfort of your own home while laying in your nighty sipping on some tea and eating crumpets. I actually had to Google what crumpets were as I've just heard it in movies but didn't know what they actually were. I'm Canadian...I shop while laying in a flannel onesie, wrapped up in a blanket, sipping on hot chocolate and eating Timbits. Don't judge!
Ok, mind off the Timbits and let's focus on shopping.
 
Here is an outfit I created, which I wish I were wearing at the moment, with all styles chosen from Hiphunters women's market clothing section as well as the women's market shoes section, and more..

jeans: Isabel Marant

And here's another outfit that I will change into once my feet are killing me from heels above.
