I'm a low maintenance Ontario gal in her early-almost-mid-thirties who loves to take care of her body and skin without making things too complicated. I like every day to feel special and don't wait to use the fancy stuff! I've spent my 20s and early thirties figuring out what works for me, what makes me feel confident and happy <3 These are my go tos!

I've been vegetarian for 8 years and have searched high and low for cookbooks that have meals that I enjoy cooking and WANT to eat, especially for the holidays and weeknight dinners. These are my favourites! These meals have had high praise from vegetarians and meat eaters alike!

I started adult beginner ballet in June and it has genuinely changed my life. I feel so much more connected to my body, so much stronger and have made wonderful friends…not to mention I've had a whole new world of culture and beauty opened up to me! Part of the fun has been dressing up for class and finding things that make me feel pretty and elegant. Here are some of my favourites, both affordable and a little more bougie!

2026 is the year I started a book club! We had our first meeting in February, and I'll be posting our monthly reads here! Every month our genre changes. March is: Memoir! I will also be posting books I loved this year that are NOT our book club picks for a little extra oomph and variety!
