Marc Jacobs Beauty Lovemarc Lip Gel in Deep Maroon

NARS Lipstick in Vendanges

Celebrities and models alike from Jennifer Lawrence to Miranda Kerr are flocking to this season's trend -- Dark Lips. Not only are they bold, but they also add a sophisticated change to classic red. 

Fair Skin - Dark shades with a red undertone [Marc Jacobs]

Medium Skin - Plummy, burgundy shades  [NARS]

Dark Skin - Bold blackberry and deep plum shades[MAC]

Our favourite is a lighter mixture of these plum shades; Ilia Femme Fatale will definitely do the trick!

Unionville + Distillery Christmas

The holiday season is quickly approaching and both the Distillery District and Main Street Unionville are getting ready to celebrate with the annual Christmas festivities! 

The Toronto Christmas Market at The Distillery District is a two week long festival that has the entire, pedestrian only areas filled with food vendors, local artisans, and of course, Santa! After experiencing our first Christmas market just a few short weeks after the opening of our Distillery District location, we cannot be more excited to be apart of this event for another year! Visit www.torontochristmasmarket.com for event information and more details.  

The Toronto Christmas Market doesn't start until the end of next week, but the Distillery District is already decorated with their giant christmas tree and thousands of lights. Beat the rush and visit for your photo opp! & don't forget to visit us at Blossom Lounge at 24 Tank House Lane!!  

Main Street Unionville's annual Olde Tyme Christmas Candlelight Parade is back for another year! With local floats from across the GTA, enjoy live music, entertainment and a meet and greet with Santa  and his elves at the band stand after the parade. We'll be open for late night shopping.

triumph & disaster

1. Facial Cleanser: This facial cleanser will not only keep your skin from drying, but will gently exfoliate your skin, moisturizing it and leaving you feeling fresh and looking bright. With the fresh scent of peppermint, it’s also the perfect way to start your day.

2. Face Scrub: Remove the build up of unwanted material clogging your skin’s pores and reveal your fresh layers of good skin underneath

3. Face Moisturizer: Combat the elements and keep the moisture in your skin by rejuvenating it with this moisturizer. It feels light on your skin while leaving your skin fresh and full of moisture

4. Shaving Cream: This shaving cream turns your every day shave into a skillful experience. Ditch the aerosol cans and the shaving gel that seems to grow the second it hits your hand, and enjoy a truly luxurious shaving experience just like the generations before you did.

social network

An interesting take on the social media world.

It's taken away 'real' friendships and undervalued relationships, as people interact on-line instead of in-person. Sometimes you don't even know if that person you follow, friend or admire is even genuine - many times people create an on-line persona not even close to who they really are.

Perhaps it's time we all take a short break from our virtual world, and appreciate the people around us that we can actually hug and spend time with face to face. 
I know I'm worth more than a 'like' on Facebook &  Instagram and don't need validation from anyone to feel good about myself. 
I hope everyone feels the same.
