God I hate politics and the men that run this shit show.
Nothing will be the same anymore
Or maybe it will be okay?
This is affecting people in more than one way
Mental Health is a huge issue as well.
I truly pray and hope that things will be okay. I’m trying to stay hopeful and positive…trying.
“I am a detective, I am a decipherer, and I am a finder of lost souls. My life is my own. And the future is up to us.” – Enola Holmes
The character Enola Holmes believes that our future is up to us. I don’t know why but this brings tears to my eyes. Is our future up to us? I hope we can be free again to travel, to go to places, to hug one another. I hope that we can one day get together again without having fear.
Travelled to Stratford Ontario
A busy little place full of commotion and life.
Social distancing in effect. Every shop had hand sanitizer and everyone wore masks.
I took these pictures of less crowded areas but the place was busy as can be.
Great book stores and the river is beautiful. It wasn’t quiet that’s for sure.
I kindly received beautiful *Gifted items in September.

Thank you so much for checking out my blog post. I appreciate it so much!
Sometimes we take care of others and don’t take the time to take care of our selves. Are you like me? I feel I need to take more time to truly pamper my self and give my self more #SELFLOVE.
I feel I need to do more fun things like wear these beautiful cute pineapple earrings from AVON more often and fun prints on my clothing. Or even buy a favourite beverage from Starbucks. Small but special grateful moments. My favourite drink is the Iced Caramel macchiato with lactose milk and the new bacon eggbites. They are delicious. Have you ever tried the chocolate chip muffin? Ask them to warm it up. It is absolutely delicious! But I need to remember not to rush. I feel my brain is in super fast motion. I really need to slow down. How about you?
I don’t buy things for my self as often. I feel that we sometimes need to treat our selves to something special. In this case I chose ZOELLA BEAUTY products. I spotted these beauties at a Walmart and I ran like a crazy woman and grabbed everything. I’ve been looking everywhere for them and the Walmart close to me had them. These are a part of last years collection I think. I LOVE them and I’ve used the creamy body lotion, bath/shower cream and the hand cream. I LOVE THEM! They are not heavily scented or overpowering and they really are hydrating and moisturizing. Love the scent of these so much. Fresh and clean. The packaging is super cute! I adore Zoella and I’ve been following her for over four years. She is an inspiration and a very smart and lovely influencer. I will add she is very down to earth, genuine and sweet.
Thank you to Zoella and Zoella beauty for responding to my tags on IG. I’m truly grateful! It made my day. Thank you so much.
Cool temperatures are here and I’m happy to share new fashion, hair and makeup pieces that I’ve been wearing and loving. I feel my style and the pieces I wear say a lot about my character don’t you think? I personally like to wear one piece that is an accent piece. Like a Sequin Skirt with solid colours or a printed cami that has a bit of a wild flare! Patterns and textures are a must for me. I have a huge love for texture, materials and pattern combinations.
I’m wearing a quarter length sleeve top in black from ZARA. Necklace, The Mayan Beauty Layered Tassel Necklace has Multiple rows of faceted beads which create a unique layered look. 52 cm L with 9cm extender $29.00. The Brush Sequins Skirt, AVON (Swipe up for teal sequins, swipe down for gold. Wear it Solid, create a pattern.) Any Which Way Skirt is $54.00. Outer Shell: Nylon; lining; polyester. I’m also wearing tights and boots from WINNERS. I would pair this outfit with Angela Roi ZURI TRAVEL POUCH WITH AISHA GIRAFFE – in BLACK. 5% of each sale from the Aisha Giraffe Collection goes to the Wild Nature Institute to help giraffes.

New favourite makeup is the new MAKE UP FOR EVER Refillable Makeup System with three Artist Face Colours. Blush, sculpting powder and highlight. I’m absolutely loving my three shades and the best part is that you can choose from so many colours! I have an article coming bestdayblogger.com this week with this new Makeup System and I’m OBSESSED with it! The three shades that I’m wearing in the photos are H100 Highlighter, B302 Blush, S112 Sculpting Powder.
As for my hair I’m very pleased with the the shine, feel and texture. I really want to try eSalons Custom Hair Colour. It’s a “professional-grade color that delivers rich, long-lasting results and 100% gray coverage.” Sounds pretty exciting to me and very affordable. Have you tried it before? Let me know if you’ve tried it.
I’ve changed my hair routine! I wash my hair less, down to two times a week. I spend more time working the product in. I’m usually very fast and don’t take the time to really massage my scalp and I’ve also increased the time that conditioner stays on. I find this has really helped with the texture of my hair. My hair is more hydrated and shiny. I also enjoy adding oils and giving my hair a lovely treatment every week.
Here are a few tips and tricks to help your hair.
I need to wear my sunglasses more often. I’m loving my D&G Sunglasses. I’m wearing my black quarter sleeve length ZARA top, The Sweet and Pretty Wild Cami by AVON, $36.00. Lipstick CHANEL in the colour Rouge Allure Velvet 63 Nightfall, Bag Wild Thing Bag by AVON, (BAG $46.00 Faux calf hair (polyester) and faux leather (polyrethane). 20cm Lx 13 cm Hx 8 cm D 130cm max. adjustable, detachable shoulder strap).

I’m so excited about Autumn and I get so inspired with all the change that happens with nature’s colours. Nature is so glorious and breathtaking. That’s also how I feel about the Clarins Fall Collection. I can’t describe how magical and beautiful it is but I can surely show you.
Here I’m featuring 4-Colour Eyeshadow palette In the colour 06 FOREST
Shades of the season. this seasonable shade collection echoes autumn tones two green shades, one subtle and satiny the other one dark with a shimmery finish, along with a dark matte grey shade and a light pink satin-finish hue. These shades are easy to blend and wear together for playful, graphic effects. Four eyeshadows shadows enriched in mineral pigments that can be blended dry for a blurred smoky finish. Using a damp applicator enhances the intensity of the shades in order to obtain more sophisticated results. -Clarins
I love the beautiful grey tones of this palette. This palette is soft and easy to apply. Very lovely to blend out and long lasting. This eyeshadow palette gives the perfect smoky eye look. I’m a huge fan of Clarins eyeshadow palettes and this one is a must have!
New Shades of Ombre Matte $26.00 An amazing formula that is easy to apply using the fingertips;it combines the smoothness of cream with the wear and finish of a powder. A sensorial, high-pigment finish guaranteed. Two new permanent shades: 09 ivory: a luminous, eggshell white and 10 midnight blue: a dark blue with a subtle pearl reflections. Bamboo powder ensures a long-lasting matte result.
These Ombre Matte eyeshadows are so soft and they apply really nicely with the finger and also blend out lovely with a brush. My favourite one is 10 Midnight blue. It is so stunning and I’m in love with it.
For the make-up look I used the ivory for the entire lid and then put the midnight blue on the eyelid and softly blended it out with a brush. I also used it for under the eye as well. I love these so much and they are very fun to use. They feel very soft and silky.
Blush Prodige $33.00 Instant radiance This flattering shade of pink enhances any skin tone. The iridescent finish offers a delicately sculpted effect and maximum luminosity. 09 golden pink. One new limited edition shade: 09 Golden pink. A “healthy glow” golden pink with an iridescent shimmer.
This is the loveliest soft golden pink blush. It has an incredible golden glow. I’m totally in love with it. This is definitely one of my favourite pieces in the collection. This will be in my August Favourites list for sure.
New Shades of lipliner pencils $26.00 Lip contour expertise. The pencil tip glides easily around the lip contour and draws the perfect graphic line that highlights the lips and helps keep lipstick from running. Two new permanent shades 05 roseberry: tender pink and the one that I have is 06 red: bright red. Jojoba oil promotes suppleness and comfort.
Joli Rouge $28.00. The ‘cream’ of lipsticks. The rich, moisturizing texture is highly concentrated in colour pigments to make Joli Rouge THE must-have lipstick everyday. The perfectly balanced satin finish magnifies colour and promotes incomparable radiance. Put simply, it’s just the perfect lipstick. 3 new permanent shades include 754 deep red: a deep, intense red, 755 litchi: a very gentle pink and 756 guava: aluminous coral pink. The organic marsh samphire maintains well-hydrated lips. Mango lil nourishes and comforts the lips promoting supple aspect.
The lipliner is super soft and creamy. Very pigmented and the Joli Rouge lipstick in the colour 754 Deep Red is breathtaking. I absolutely love how bright and bold it is. What I really love about both of the products is that they are super bold, soft and creamy and also feel really incredible on the lips. I definitely feel that red is not only a Fall colour but a colour that looks incredible all year round.
The last beautiful piece that I have to show you is the cute Tender Moments Lovely Lip Balm which I’ve been wearing day and night. The luscious lip balm is so nourishing and moisturizing. The packaging is super cute and the formula smells and feels incredible on the lips. It is made with organic cocoa butter and Shea oil which helps nourish and repair the lips. It has organic red currant which ensures immediate comfort.
The formula is so incredible that it reacts with the lips pH levels and develops a touch of radiant, natural-looking colour. It is super creamy and melts on the lips which an amazing peach flavour. It has a chic, fun eco-designed packaging and organic active ingredients in line with Clarins’ “Responsible Beauty” approach.
Enriched with a nourishing and moisturizing plant cocktail, this balm provides instant and long-lasting comfort, 8 hours of moisturization and a smoother, fuller look, perfect sine and rosy radiance to leave lips looking even more irresistible. Part skin care and part makeup, this feminine duo is simply irresistible! -CLARINS
All products mentioned are available in department stores, pharmacies and on clarins.com
Here is the makeup look that I’ve created with all Clarins Products. I really love the creaminess of the lip pencil and the shine and comfort of the lipstick. Truly an incredible feeling on the lips. I love the colours especially the Ombre Matte Cream-to-Powder Eye Shadow in 10 midnight blue. I also used Clarins Mascara and the contour palette which I really love using.
Thank you so much for reading my blog post. I hope you check out this beautiful collection. It is my absolute favourite. Please have a look at my previous Clarins Posts if you like. Thank you so much to CLARINS for the lovely samples. I’m truly grateful and very in love with the Fall Collection.
