It was in the negatives this morning and honestly that’s just too cold for me. By the time I get to my office I feel like I can barely speak from my teeth chattering so severely the whole way here. Fellow Canadians, please don’t call me a wimp. I know you’re probably in -20 or worse right now and for that I commend you; it’s absolutely a severity of weather I am not conditioned to. Admittedly I am a bit of a baby when it comes to the cold, which is why right now I am daydreaming about living on a tropical island. Then again, if I lived on a tropical island I would probably be living with a constant sun burn. Maybe I should just consider buying another sweater.
The thing about me + the cold is that we mix like oil and water, meaning – not at all. As soon as winter comes around and it’s constantly chilly out, I am always battling a cold. I spend my days guzzling down hot tea, forcing myself to take drops of Oil of Oregano, getting early sleeps & having lots of soup all in the effort to fend off the cold that is attempting to overtake me. Alright, that was a bit melodramatic, but you know what I mean!
On days like today (chilly chilly burr burr but sunny) I stick to my cozy not-so-basic sweater, classic black jeans, cognac boots and a two tone hat to keep comfortably cozy against the crisp winter weather. In a recent post I talked about just how much I love essential pieces that have a touch of fun & unique detailing.
It’s no secret that during the winter we all need to find cozy pieces to keep bundled and warm; and each winter I keep the winter chill at bay with super thick knit sweaters – that have a bit of a twist. Prettily printed scarves, two tone jackets and studded bags are great ways to turn a simple essential into a statement piece, which is why I am completely obsessed with this super heavy leopard printed sweater.

How to Celebrate the Whirlwind of Life![[ad] It may not be #SelfCareSunday or #MaskMonday but I'm still taking a little "me" time today to care for my skin.
I've been talking about this a LOT lately on my Youtube Channel, but I don't think I've said it here... My skin has been totally out of whack lately. 🤪 It's dry, it's become much more blemish-prone, and I'm not having any of it. Ain't nobody got time for this! 🤬
I'm tacking blemishes with the @plant.apothecary Not a Spot Acne treatment mask and Organic Oil Moisturizer for Oily and Acne-Prone Skin (which you can pick up online or at @ultabeauty)
Then adding moisture into my skin with the @lancome genifique serum and @Elemis Pro-Collagen Advanced Eye Treatment.

I love this! Everything about it! I think I'll be adding that sweater to my wish list…
Oil of oregano? You poor thing! This polar vortex really blows, but at least you look smashing. Your hat is adorable.
