No Spend November

If you're anything like me, your closet is jam-packed with clothes that still have tags on them, things you haven't worn since high school and shoes that have never seen the light of day. Since starting a new job (and finally getting a paycheck again), I've been going a little crazy. I've been spending too much money on things I don't need, and after they've been in my closet for a few weeks, I realize that not only do I not need them, but I don't want them either. For the month of November, I am challenging myself to not spend a penny on clothes, shoes and accessories. Every day I will have to put outfits together using whatever I already have in my closet. Anything I haven't reached for by the end of the month will be donated to a local women's shelter. If you also feel like your closet has gotten out of hand, I challenge you to take part!

Currently Coveting: Bar Carts

Image
Bar carts are my latest home decor obsession. It seems like they are everywhere lately, and I am seriously considering adding one to my own home. They can be super affordable ( try this one from Ikea ) or fancy ( like this one from West Elm ). Apart from the basics like liquor, glasses and a cocktail shaker, you can add all kinds of fun objects to your bar cart such as fresh flowers, candles, framed prints, books, knick knacks, really anything you can think of! Today I'm sharing some bar cart styling inspiration with you. Many of the bar carts I have featured use the Raskog Kitchen Cart from Ikea . I think a trip to Ikea is in store!

January Favourites!

Image
Today I wanted to share with you my favourite products for the month of January. They are a mixture of random products that are helping me get through the winter! 1. David's Tea Glass Perfect Mug : I'm a huge fan of loose leaf tea and last month I decided that I needed to invest in a better infuser. This infuser is so fine that no tea will slip through into your mug. This mug also comes with a lid to keep your tea nice and hot. It comes in a number of different colours and designs, but I've been loving the clear glass mug since I currently don't have anything like it in my mug collection. $19.50 at David's Tea stores and davidstea.com 2. Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush in Amused : This bright pink blush is an instant mood lifter during depressing winter days. Don't let the colour scare you; the formula is easy to blend and it looks fantastic on all skin tones.  (Image Source) $31 at tartecosmetics.com, Sephora stores and sephora.com 3.

April Favourites!

Image
I can't believe it's that time again! To be honest, this list was especially difficult to compile this month. I spent April finishing up a very intensive 8 month + internship postgrad program. Between the exams, reports, projects, presentations, late nights and early mornings, I had very little time to myself to discover new products, so this list mostly includes old favourites that I found myself reaching for this month. 1. Cadbury Mini Eggs :  Mini Eggs are my favourite Easter candy and I don't even want to think of how many I consumed this month (stress eating!). At least I was balancing all that chocolate out with vegan bowls . 2. Live Clean Fresh Face Foaming Daily Cleanser : I picked up this cleanser in my never ending quest to find the best skin care products. I'm glad I did as I really love it. It doesn't contain any harsh ingredients, so it is extremely gentle on the skin. It is for all skin types, and is reasonably priced. $15.49 at S
