Halloween Bath Time Treats from LUSH

by Tazim Damji

LUSH Halloween Bath Time Treats

Halloween. For some, it's all about costumes, crazy parties, or candy. For me, it's about bath time treats from LUSH. Every year, I look forward to fall (because fall is awesome in so many ways), because I know Sparkly Pumpkins are going to be out soon. . .to make my bathtub a orange sparkly dream. I also look forward to the other delightful bath time treats for Halloween, from LUSH. I'm pretty happy that they have so many that are vegan-friendly. LUSH always takes care to properly label all ...

Customize your Self-Care with a Custom Blending Kit (With Giveaway)

by Tazim Damji

Custom blending kit

Self-care is something I've talked about a few times on this blog. It's something I practice everyday, no matter how busy I am. I use diffusers to scent the air with my favourite essential oils or blends, I have baths at least twice a week (except during the summer months), and I give myself hand and foot massages whenever I remember to. Instead of using someone else's idea of what I should have in my bath water or use for massages, I prefer to DIY my blend using Escents' Custom Blending Kit. ...

A Unique Addition to My Collection: Randolph Glasses

by Tazim Damji

Glasses Randolph

All of you lucky people out there who have great vision may not understand where I am coming from with this one, but finding a great pair of glasses is “kind of a big deal”. It’s hard to find that perfect blend of functionality and style that I crave. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, glasses can be yet another way of making a fashion statement. The media may lead you to believe otherwise with their depictions of bespectacled people as being people who care more about books and grades than they do ...

My Favourite Ways to Achieve Style on a Budget.

by Tazim Damji

budget style

Gold? Silver? Who can choose sometimes? With this necklace, I feel like I always win. Clothing can be really pricey, and so can shoes. True, those are two ways to show your style and personality—but my favourite is actually with accessories like jewelry! A plain outfit can easily and inexpensively be jazzed-up with a necklace and some earrings. O.co has a selection that I love, including the DB Designs Two-tone Rose Gold over Silver Diamond Heart Necklace (ARV $53 CAD).   ...

A Wallet for all Occasions – HuMn Carbon Fiber Wallet #FathersDay

by Tazim Damji

HuMn Carbon Fiber Wallet

While I still use my main wallet for many occasions, I prefer to put just a few essential cards and a bit of cash in my HuMn Carbon Fiber wallet for other times. The other day, I was lugging a bag full of heavy library books up the hill and really didn't want to have to carry a purse with a full-sized wallet with me as well. I just grabbed my ID card and library card, this wallet and popped it in my pocket, making my way up to the library. The problem with having large wallets is that there ...

Bright colours seem to be everywhere lately, and it's no wonder. Pantone's colour of the year is Emerald, and there are so many other great colours on their Spring 2013 palette, too. A new season, especially when it is a warmer-season one, naturally makes me feel like changing things up fashion-wise. How about you?
