TIFF, like everything else, is looking a little di

TIFF, like everything else, is looking a little different this year. That doesn't mean we still can't get glammed up, with nowhere but a Zoom party to go to! This year, my girlfriends and I are creating an occasion to get dressed up and toast to another impressive year in the film industry. I couldn't achieve this hair look without @batistecanada because let's be real, two-day-old hair styles 100% better than day of washed hair 🤪 Their limited-edition Tempt scent helps to instantly refresh my hair so I can get glammed up in no time! #BatisteDryShampoo

Today as I let go of your hand and you bravely fou

Today as I let go of your hand and you bravely fought back the tears, diligently standing in line, ready to take on the first day of grade 3, I took five breaths starring in your pretty green/blue eyes. I want to remember this moment forever. You’ve gone from an extension of my limbs, always pulling, plucking and holding me, to your own little being. Running, singing and dancing to your own beat. Though I was finally able to efficiently get a whole lot of work done while you were at school, I secretly wished you still sat beside me singing your little songs and interrupting my zoom calls. Being a parent is a trippy thing. We do what we think is best with the hopes that our kids will learn to do the same. With all of the ups and downs of the last few months I wish the best for all of us whether we chose to send our kids back or keep them at home. I wish for a swift end to all of this uncertainty and support for our teachers. I wish for continued foresight to take deep breaths and catch more of the moments in the moment. 🖤 Dammit! I need to stop crying. Take me back to the dock! 🤣

We’ve had so many insightful conversations on ou

We’ve had so many insightful conversations on our podcast to date but our chat with @shanboody is definitely one of my faves. A Certified Intimacy Educator, Shan has such an incredible wealth of knowledge with the perfect ability to distill said knowledge in a fun and digestible way there’s no wonder why she has already published 2 books and has her own show on @quibi On today’s episode we spoke about dating digitally (the average millennial spends 10 hours a week on a dating app), relationship building (having empathy for the person you’re dating), open relationships (you can close them too, you know!), communication, women’s bodies, CLIToracy (my fave new word) and so very much more. Thank you so much Shan for welcoming us into your home and having this much needed candid chat. Friends, you listened yet? What were your thoughts? We’re dying to know!

Though there were so many things we were ‘suppos

Though there were so many things we were ‘supposed’ to do this summer, the things we able to do were pretty amazing. Expectations lowered, cadence slowed, joys abundant. To be honest, I could have never imagined fishing with my daughter being instructed ever so patiently by my besite’s dad like he had tried to do with us so many years ago. On a Tuesday. As the horrible news continues to roll in, I have found the only way through is with a steady focus on the small, magical moments that we would have otherwise skipped past at the top of the year. What we are continually reminded is that life as we know it is fleeting. Hold onto the little bits. The belly laughs, the run on sentences, the quick calls that turn into hours, the little flashes of brilliance, the catch (and subsequent release) of your first fish, the heat from someone else’s hand.

Been loving my new @samsungcanada Galaxy Tab S6 Li

Been loving my new @samsungcanada Galaxy Tab S6 Lite tablet from @bestbuycanada these days. I didn't realize how heavy my computer was until I started throwing this lil guy in my purse. Now that Harlowe comes to work with me, limiting the weight of my things in my bag to make room for hers is key. It is also SO much faster as I toggle quickly between Dropbox, Twitter and emails.
Harlowe has been snatching it for the S Pen where it allows you to draw freehand and design with ease. Also, v ideal for my visual brain as I scribble ideas on paper before I actually conceptualize and present ideas to my clients. Not only is this helping my organization but I'm also saving paper 😃 This version is the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite in pink. Check out bestbuy.ca for all the options. Are you more of a tablet or laptop person? #ad
