Dreamy and charming accommodations on Vancouver Island. After having lived on Van Isle most of my life, I have seen and visited much of the island. There’s a reason everyone wants to come visit. These places are stunning. Whether it’s ocean views or forests, I guarantee you’ll want to come visit! As a young girl I always wanted my own treehouse. How about staying in one!!!

Teenagers are notoriously hard to cook for. They seem to wanna snack a lot but then aren’t hungry when it’s dinner. Mine anyway. These are tried and true recipes that not only will they eat, but they’ll also ask me to make. Yo, the Vampire Tacos is THE most requested. Try it!!!

It's no secret that Vancouver island is a special place. After living here most of my life, and then moving out if the country for 6 years, it holds a special place in my heart. Here are some of the lesser known places on Van isle that don't get as much love but definitely should!!! Instagram worthy for sure!

New Zealand takes their cafes seriously. Not only are they charming and instagram worthy, but they also have great coffee and equally as yummy food. Always something for everyone. These are some of my favourites.

The Sephora brand is perfect for everyone. Super affordable products and lots of choices. The Sephora brand ALWAYS has sales of days when you can earn bonus points too. Here are my faves that you just have to try!

From makeup to pore care, Benefit has all the products you want in your makeup bag. Great quality products you’ll love using again and again. FYI, Badgal bang mascara is epic and the Benetint is a product I will use Forever!

Like its Budget friendly competition, Inkey List, The Ordinary has a wonderful line of products that work amazingly well on mature skin. Here are a few of my favourites!

The Inkey list is a budget friendly but not lacking in quality skincare line. It has surpassed the Ordinary for me. Many of the products come in smaller sizes which is great for travelling or for trying if you don’t want to commit just yet. The Prices are awesome!!
