Well to start off, I’m a 23 year-old living in Hamilton, Ontario. I’ve studied make-up artistry and I’m lucky enough to work for an amazing cosmetics and skin care company. To be honest, I originally planned on doing everything when it came to beauty, but when I ended up in hair school I just felt…uninspired, y’know? This made me rethink my career path and what I wanted to learn, and I decided that I wanted to further my education in skin care and “wellness”. A lot of beauty gurus don’t think this way, but I truly think it’s important to beautify yourself from the inside out. I like to pair my beauty advice with health and wellness tips because the two are synonymous. You’re going to experience much better results from your beauty regime if you take the necessary steps to properly fuel your body, and we’ll talk about this more in-depth together as the blog continues to grow (oh, and of course you can cheat…I cheat all the time).
Now that you know me a little bit better, I’d love to get to know you! Feel free to send me a message, comment on this page…whatever! Until then, I’d like to thank you for taking the time to check out my blog and hopefully I’ll get to speak with you soon!
I just wanted to say thank you for liking my random blog entry. I didn’t think anyone was going to read it. :D And I love your blog. <3
Thanks so much! I find myself cruising other people’s blogs for inspiration rather often actually, ahaha! Don’t be surprised if there’s a ton of people secretly checking up on you. ;)
Hello Jake! Just dropping by to thank you for checking my blog out. So happy that i’m not the only one needing a shopping intervention! ;) Your blog is amazing. I love the layout and the fact that you have managed to get advertising on here…i’m still new to this whole thing! Best Wishes to you
Thanks! You’ll get the hang of it in no time at all, don’t even worry about it. If you have any specific questions or anything, feel free to ask me here, or send me an e-mail through the contact form.
Sounds good. You’re officially my favorite blogger! :) Loved your post on how to wake up winter skin! :)
Hi! Thanks for dropping by my blog :) It seems your blog is really interesting so Im following you now :)
Cheers x
Thank you! I love your blog because you talk about a lot of eastern brands that I really want to try! I think it might be more jealousy than anything…ahaha!
Thank you! :) Which ones are you interested on? Cheers!
Any and all to be completely honest! Etude House has some really cute stuff, and I still haven’t tried it! I will have to get on that soon, for sure!
Really? We can do a swap in the future if you like :)
Yes, absolutely! My e-mail’s on te contact page, just shoot me an e-mail sometime and we’ll work out the details.:)
HOLY CRAP! YOUR A DUED!!!!!!!
That makes you adorable . . . . . . XD
Nice photo btw
Ahaha, thank you very much! Why is it so surprising that I’m a boy? AHAHA.
It isn’t but I Was surprised you are so adorable
You commented about salicyclic acid what would you use?
Ahaha, you’re very pretty yourself! and honestly, salicylic acid can help other ingredients to penetrate the skin better, but you’ll want ingredients like vitamin C and vitamin A to really help brighten the skin and deal with pigmentation issues. I work as an esthetician/makeup artist, so I have a pretty decent grasp on what helps with what…so if you have any other questions, send them my way!
I just want to stop by and say hi! Your blog is awesome! Keep up the good work! My friends always say that I’m from Canada, but I’m really not. Haha. ❤
If you’re cool…I can see why they’d say that! ;)
I live just 20 minutes away from you :) Looking forward to getting to know you!

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHERE I LIVE? Kidding! Where do you live exactly? Ahaha.
I felt all stalker like for a second haha. I live in Brantford. Don’t know if that is a good thing or not lol
It’s not a good OR bad thing…it’s just Brantford! Maybe one day we’ll do lunch or something though, ahaha!
Wouldn’t that be something?!!! We could blog about it ;) lol
I’m impressed by how successful you have become in only 6 months. That is great! Any advice you have for someone just starting out? Thank you!
To be honest, I’m pretty socially active in real life…so that helps. If you’re not like me though, Stumbleupon is going to be your new best friend. Sign up for it and start submitting your posts, because it can help to bring in immediate traffic, but also residual traffic…it’s fantastic! Not only that, do what you’re doing now and interact with other bloggers, offer to work on guest posts and the like for them…it gets your name out there more and more, and starts getting you burned into people’s minds.
Thank you for the advice, I am going to do my best to follow it!
I’m not a beauty guru or anything like that, but it’s great to see someone like you got to check out my random make-up post..thanks again! I’m learning so much from your blog! ;-)
Ahaha, I read way too much about makeup…but I’m trying out your spinach and cheese omelette recipe this weekend. ;)
yay for easy recipes! have a great long weekend ;-)
Awesome! I love what you said about health and beauty. Good insides=amazing outsides!
