It’s the one thing that I never leave home without. No, I’m not talking about my phone (although sometimes a vacation from it would be welcome). I’m talking about red lipstick.
If I ever leave the house feeling like I need a certain something to complete my outfit, a red lipstick is always it! I think the first red lipstick that I ever bought was from Nars, followed by MAKE UP FOR EVER, Dior, MAC, Maybelline and then YSL.

Before I started wearing red lipstick, I remember how long it took me to find one that I was actually comfortable wearing (and that I thought looked good on me).
I remember walking into MAC one day and one of the makeup artists put this awful red lipstick on me (trust me it takes time to find the red suited for you). I’m not one to hide my emotions and she could tell I was not pleased. So she told me that it takes a bold woman to be able to pull off a red lipstick. Really…?! Not impressed with her or her suggestion was more like it!
Since then I’ve found red lipsticks that I absolutely love to wear. And I wear red so often that I’ve had to find other colours to switch it up from time to time. But I always go back to my reds. Love them!

Taste of Toronto, July 2-5
Calling all foodies! Here’s an event that you don’t want to miss! Clear your calendars and head out to Taste of Toronto happening July 2 to 5.
During this four-day event, take your tastebuds on a wild ride (and make sure you’re prepared for it too!) and try some dishes from local restaurants. There are lunch & dinner sessions that you can choose from (each session lasting about 4-5 hours) depending on what time you want to attend the festival.
The lineup of restaurants already has my mouth watering, check it out here.
What is it about the summertime that has me feeling so adventurous when it comes to food? It happens every year.
I love the idea of being able to sample foods from restaurants you may not have had the chance to try before. This festival literally gives you a taste of what you can expect.
But one thing’s for sure, if you love food, this sounds like a great food festival to attend.
General tickets start at $19, and if you want to sample dishes from the restaurants you need to have Crowns on hand (the official currency of the festival). Choose a session (lunch or dinner) and that gives you about 4-5 hours to walk around the site, taste food from the different restaurants and interact with the activities and vendors onsite (there’s plenty more to do than just eat!).
Bon appétit mes amis xo
