Do you want to be a Canadian Beauty Blogger?

I started Beauty Blogging in 2008/2009. And boy times were different back then. It was funner and more carefree. Also things were cheaper and the opportunities were in abundance. That doesn't mean that it should deter you from starting now BUT there are a few things to consider. Starting a channel or blog is expensive. It's easy to feel left out! Especially when you want to get noticed.

Here are some tips to get started from an OG.

Work from Home Thoughts

I'm the Queen of reminders. Especially as a Work from home moms. I want us to know our worth and be able to speak up for ourselves. Pre-baby I made some decisions that were not ideal.Just thinking about it makes me so sick. 

I know I sound over dramatic but having my daughter made me smarten up and now make me work for me. 

Five things I will never do as a first time mom

Being a first time mom was something. Something good. Something INTERESTING. For one you get to really know who your village is/what its composed of. You get to see your limits- your partner’s limits… sometimes you impress yourself. Other times man it’s a fail. Either way it’s a learning process. 

So far we have survived 4 years and I'm excited to see my growth in the upcoming years of motherhood. 

Are blogs dead?

Honest question? Are blogs dead? I know if you’re here reading this the answer is no BUT how often do you actually visit a blog? I won’t lie – I don’t visit them as much as I should be that will change this year! 

Let’s get back to blogging! 

After School Routine Every Kid Can Follow

Routines are so key for Ava’s and I. It’s something I implemented... so that if I’m not available to do it, she knows exactly what steps to do on her own. Or for her to tell someone else.

Here is what we do Monday to Friday!

Content creator TIPS

One of the best way to become personable as a content creator/blogger is to show yourself on camera. I stopped as I gained some weight after the baby and became self-conscious. 

Now I have a toddler and I'm still chubby BUT who cares. 

SHOW YOURSELF!

Kindergarten Checklist

I can’t Believe I’m writing this. Ava is in Kindergarten. Yeah. I know. Time FLIES! I can’t believe some of you have been around since 2009 when I was still in college. So much Life and time has passed. I’m so grateful for all of you. 

Let me stop being sentimental for a bit!
