Hello beauties,

 I was drinking my morning coffee and I looked out the window, saw a girl running and looking happy while doing so, which got me thinking about the Olympics, which then inspired me to want to do this post...um yes...welcome to my strange mind. That is generally how my brain works most of the time. It can get tiring.
 I am so sad that I do not get to watch the Olympics because of the studying I have to do but all this Olympics hype is getting me more pumped to study harder! I don't know about you guys but athletes are truly inspirational to me, the amount of dedication and hard work they put into making their dreams come true is amazing.

 So here is to being motivated and getting fit ;)

Hello my beautiful friends,

It's been a while! I am still studying for my exam, it will be done on August 23rd and I will get back to regular blogging after that :)
I just wanted to do this post because it is an important cause and I should have done it earlier but I just have not had the chance between school and my exam. Alright onto the post.
A while ago my friend Abigail asked on twitter if anyone would like to use their online influence for a good cause, and I of course said yes! I'm all about that!
So when I got her email I knew I had to write about this cause, because this is the main reason I went into health care. Cancer.
I hate cancer with every fiber of my being and in my field, Nuclear Medicine, I deal with it every day. I've also lost some people in my life to it and have known close friends who have lost their loved ones to it as well.
What I'm here to talk about to you today is BOOTY BASH! This event is organized by the Don McQuaig foundation, which was created in memory of Don who lost his life at an early age to colorectal cancer. You can go HERE and read the details of the story of how and why this foundation was created.

 In 2012, an estimated 23,300 Canadians will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer and 9,200 will die of it. Overall, colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in men and women combined. If detected early, this vicious disease is 90% curable.

 When I read this I just felt sick, and I knew I had to do my part to get the word out there. I would really just like to draw your attention to the last part of that, if detected early it is 90% curable. The problem is not many know to get checked and unfortunately get diagnosed at a late stage.
This is the 6th year for Booty Bash and tickets for this event, I am told, sell very fast! Right now the tickets are on sale for an early booty special price of $50. That is all it takes ladies and gentlemen, then you get to shake your booty and help the amazing people of the Don McQuaig foundation to raise aware about this horrible illness. The details for the event can be found here.
I myself unfortunately cannot attend because of my exam but I ask you to please please attend and if you cannot, get the word out there!
It really doesn't take much for each of you to help :)

Hello beauties,

No it wasn't my bridal shower haha. Yesterday my mom and I went to a friend's bridal shower and we were told to wear white or light pink. The theme of the party was Sex and the City and it was very nicely done. We were served Chinese food for dinner and super cute cupcakes and cosmos for drinks! I chose to wear a white dress, I love white dresses in the summer time! but I couldn't really find a dress in stores that wasn't too expensive and one that I loved. So my amazing mom made this dress for me :) I am in love with the lace detailing <3

Hello beauties,

Yesterday The Boy and I went to Harbour Front here in Toronto and walked along the water then had dinner and drinks at one of the Pubs there. The view was incredible and after a horrible day it was just such a perfect way to spend the afternoon before hitting the books again. Evenings like yesterday just make me feel incredible, so I was happy I had a chance to indulge.

Hello lovelies,

Today I have a little review for you ladies. About two weeks ago I was having a horrible week and dealing with many things so my lovely boyfriend took me to a natural food market here in Toronto called The Big Carrot. They also have a section where they sell natural beauty and skin care items which is what The Boy treated me to :) I was so surprised and happy to see they had all the brands I've always wanted to try but hesitated due to shipping charges online. A few brands that I saw where Pangea Organics, 100% Pure, Dr. Hauschka and so much more! I didn't have the time to look through everything though. Alright back to the review. 

I've been looking for an organic mascara that is volumizing and won't transfer underneath my eyes after an hour of wear. I do understand that no natural mascara will last as long as non-natural ones since they do not use the plastics and waxes that will ensure lasting power. I've been using Physicans Formula Organic Wear mascara for a year now and while it gives a gorgeous effect, it lasts for about 2 hours, not good.
While I was in Big Carrot I told a girl that worked there what I wanted and she directed me to Gabriel Color mascara. They had two options black and brown and I opted for the black one.


The formula for this mascara is thick and wet in the tube. Once you put it on, it dries in about 30 seconds and stays put for more than 8 hours. I LOVE it! My main concern with mascaras is always how volumizing they are and how long the last. This certainly is volumizing and also lengthening and it does not clump. I have naturally long lashes but this adds even more length.  This is also the only mascara I am able to wear on my bottom lashes, as it doesn't smudge or make them stick out straight!

Hello beauties,

Today I have another work out motivation post. I just did a few work outs so I got inspired to do one of these.
Here we go!

Hello beauties,

As I have pretty much just been studying all day lately I haven't had any exciting outfits to show you. Yesterday I got dressed to go for a walk and warm up for a work out I thought I would take photos of my outfit to share! I love seeing other people's work out outfits as well haha I guess that's what happens when you love fashion and working out!
Work out clothes are also so much fun to shop for, in my opinion.

Hello lovelies,

I stumbled upon this and thought I would share it with you. I love fairytales and I love Mulberry so it's really no wonder that I'm obsessed with this campaign!
