Introducing Dainty Luxuries

Dainty Luxuries is a new online Boutique run by 21 year old Kadian Blake. 
I  love seeing girls become entrepreneurs at a young age.
It just sets the stage for great things in the future.

The best way to sum up the boutique via Kadian.
A Dainty Woman walks with her head held high and a switch to her hip. Always fancy, she takes pride in her appearance and exudes confidences. Exquisitely beautiful, challenges boundaries and is ready to face whatever the world throws at her with a smile on her face. A Dainty Woman is YOU. 
LOVE it!

The Best Flat-Iron?

I don't usually do posts like this but I love getting input from you all!

Recently one of my favorite flat-irons totally died on me.

When I say die... I mean it fell apart in my hands. Its kinda funny but now I'm on the hunt for a new one.

Back in December 2011, I bought one from KISS. It's nice but I find that it doesn't glide smoothly. Tugging leads to breakage and I really don't want that!

Thankfully it was only $29.99 on sale..

Anyways summer is coming and I need to get a good one. I have a few questions for you:
  • Which flat iron is your favorite?
  • Where did you get it?
  • Do you remember the price point?

It's okay if you don't remember all the details, I just really need the name.

*****Thank you all for names & info where to buy them.*****



I created a post to help anyone struggling to find a good flat-iron.




Dove ClearTone + Let's talk underarms

One area of your body goes unnoticed daily. 
It's not done out of spite but if you live in Canada you would totally understand. 
Okay let me put it out there....

I'm talking about your
ARM PITS!

According to a study commissioned by Dove, 93% of women feel their underarms are unattractive and 1/3 go so far as buying tops with sleeves so they can hide their underarms.

As awkward as this post is, I can identify...

Introducting
Dove ClearTone Deodorant

Dove® Clear Tone™ Deodorant with calendula and sunflower seed extracts moisturizes to accelerate the natural skin renewal process, helping to visibly reduce dark marks and even tone with regular use over time, while providing 24-hour odor and wetness protection.

My method of removal is shaving. Shaving changes the discoloration under your arms. 
It also can lead to dry flaky skin.

I want to embrace the cute new summer trends like neon dresses & pastel tanks. 
So I'm starting my Dove ClearTone regime asap.

 Twice a day: Morning & night.

Hopefully by the end of June I will see a difference.
I WILL NOT include a picture of my pits..I'll spare you of that..Haha

Question for you ladies:
How do you feel about your underarms?

Marcelle + NYX Matte Lip Cream + Self portrait

Hey Ladies!

It's been a while since I've done a self portrait. Believe it or not, I'm holding the camera with my right hand. I've perfected this because nobody has the patience to wait for me to take the perfect "shot". After 20 pictures this one was my favorite!

I'm not sure if you can see my clothing but I'm rocking my favorite Jessica Simpson denim vest with a long black tank.

I need to highlight my "Canadian eyes":
Marcelle Waterproof Eyeliner - Midnight Black
Marcelle Xtension Plus Mascara - Black

Marcelle (Canadian brand) has great EXTREME black liners and mascara.

I've been obsessed with reds this year. I think I should do a post on my favorites soon. Here I'm rocking NYX Matte Lip Cream in Monte Carlo.
I bought it at IMATS Toronto last year for $3.00.
If you are a matte lipstick wearer, I'd definitely recommend these.
Soft, creamy & long lasting.
