Advice on Coping and Getting through the Morning during a Stay at Home Order

Although our new reality with RONA has impacted the world as a whole, this is the best time to focus on yourself aside from working from home, being stuck inside all day, and just being plain bored and depressed. Living in Canada, I can say Ontario is a mess. I feel like I wasted a year BUT I'm also grateful to be alive, grateful to be a Content Creator and grateful that no one in my family got sick. 

So again let me not complain and just be grateful.

Post Grad Depression? How to Get Out of a Rut!

Graduation is often thought of as a wonderful moment in your life. You finally achieved your goal and earned your degree after studying for so many years! You should be happy right? Sadly, this isn’t always the case. Sometimes, post-grad depression hits with full force and knocks down recent grads who are trying to find their footing in life. They feel lost with no sense of direction because they don’t know what the next step in their life is going to be. They’re having a hard time landing their first entry level position and find themselves back home with mom and dad, feeling like a failure. I went through this after my graduation for about a year. I was unemployed, really depressed, and highly anxious about my future because I had no idea what I was going to do with my life. 

If you find yourself relating to me at all, I want you to keep on reading to find ways you can overcome post-grad depression.

What do I do with my Wedding Guests?

I actually got an email from a reader (Hi Cindy!) regarding a wedding situation. I thought it would be perfect to share on here because you never know what someone else is going through. 

Her Question-

I'm getting married in April and I'm unsure what to do. The ceremony and venue is far. It's Hamilton. I'm not from there and none of my fam is from there. I have a gap in the middle where I take pictures and do an outfit change. Do I book a few hotel room for a every to stay in? I have no idea what to do.

When I got married, I was in the same position.. kind of. And I had to learn this on my own to let your guests think for themselves. As a bride, it's so easy to get wrapped up in so many different situations. I'm the type of person that honestly does not want to inconvenience anyone and I will look for ideas to make other people happy.... Which usually end up  with me sacrificing my time or things blowing up in my face.

Five tips to make you more confident when getting your makeup done

I have a confession. 

Although, I am a makeup artist- getting my makeup done gives me sight anxiety...Yeah I know. 

My main fear is:

What if I don't like it & how I nicely ask someone to change it?

What blushes are in my collection & why?

I get a lot of questions on blushes from everyone. Not just WOC...In my opinion, you only need 3 blushes but having a palette looks better.

This is what I bring whenever I go on shoots. The palette was bought in my last semester of MUA school..I have no idea where my teacher got it. Although you can't get this exact palette, you can definitely dupe these :)
The ones with the X's are the ones which get used the most.

You can NEVER go wrong with oranges & berries ladies!

Some dupes that I use are:

Orange: MUFE Eyeshadow- Tangerine 18 (vibrant matte orange)

Berry: MAC Fushia Powder Blush

What color of blush is your favorite?

WDF?!?!? Girlllll

Those two words were the first thing out of my mouth when I seen this pic!

Couldn't someone tell her that her foundation was off...

Probably NOT..shit it's Beyonce..

LOL.. No But it's hard.. To tell someone and NOT hurt there feelings..

A good friend of mine always wears a shade that is 3 shades too light for her BUT I honestly don't have the heart to tell her its off. Why you ask??

Because she is always so confident in it!

So my question for you is would you tell a friend if her foundation was off?

Do you want MAC warehouse sale tickets? All your Questions answered here! _ UPDATED

I DON'T HAVE ASSESS TO TICKETS ANYMORE!!
This is an invite only sale.. Tickets are the only way to gain entry!

I don't recommend this but...if you don't have a ticket.. it doesn't hurt to go down to the sale and ask the ladies in line if they have extras.


I've seen it before and 9 times out of 10 the girl gets a ticket. This is not a thing to do if you don't have a strong sense of character because rejection sucks.. and you might go home empty handed!

These are FREE tickets to employees to give out to their friends and family but people make a business out of them by selling them on kijji and craigslist. They can range from $10 to $50 dollars!

If you do buy off the internet make sure they have a gold stamp because the ones without are fakes!


The sale is located at Markham Fairgrounds which is located in Markham. This place is in the middle of frigging NO where... When my girl and I went the first time we got LOSS hardcore.

The MAC warehouse isnt actually in Markham fairgrounds...BUT it's probably the only place that big to hold all that makeup!

This event can happen anywhere from 3 to 4 times a year. This year I've seen spring, summer, fall & winter! I went to Spring, Fall & Winter..LOL. I know. The sales are always held as a 3-day event and are usually take place on a friday, saturday and a sunday.

The sale is divided into 3 rooms.
OLD INFO


The first room has stuff like makeup bags, train cases, concealers, eye pencils, nail polish, eyeshadow quads, perfume and etc...

Second room has brushes, foundations, collection sets, eye shadows / pigments...etc

Third room has blushes, compacts, bargin tables, lipsticks./lip glosses, perfume sets and cash check outs

MAC also gives out free gifts at the end and has a cancer donation table. Where they sell 3 to 4 items in a gift set for cancer!


Quick facts:

• you can only buy 4 of each item
• go the first day because things sell out fast!
• be prepared for lines

I hope this post helped!
