Love Letters and Lace

There's a reason why beach bags are so huge: there are a lot of things you need to being with you! It may be mid-August, but to me, summer is still in full swing. It is hot and sunny, and that can only mean one thing... time to head to the beach (or pool!). Over time, I've nailed down the beach bag to an exact science. Here are the products I find are must haves in my beach bag: 1) Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Sunscreen (for body & face)  I've raved about these products over and over. It's the first sunscreen I've ever used that feels hydrating on my skin rather than greasy. It also smells great and gives you the protection you need from the sun! 2) SPF protection for lips Just like the rest of your skin, your lips need to be protected too! I bring just a basic lip balm with some SPF in it. I really like the Nivea one. 3) A big water bottle Staying hydrated when you're in the sun is so important. I always like to bring a really big water bottl

Hello there! Sorry for the lack of posts for the past while! I recently returned from my Spring Break in Mexico and I'm feeling a lot more rested and a lot less frazzled. I'm also slightly less blindingly pale, which is also cool. Coming from a long, cold winter in Canada, Mexico was absolutely amazing (and the unlimited free drinks weren't so bad either). Sadly, all good things must come to an end and I am back in the mild cold (spring is coming!!!) and back to balancing school, clinical and work. But my motivation is back, which is great, even if it'll likely only last about a week. I'm also looking forward to getting back into blogging. While I love writing about my current beauty favourites and lifestyle things like that, I think I'm going to start writing more about my thoughts, since I really enjoy writing more reflective posts. So, Here's to spring, productivity and saying whats on my mind. xo

Hey everyone! I've been gone for a little while on vacation but now I'm back; a lot more relaxed, a bit more tanned (AKA sunburnt) and somewhat ready to go back to school. I took a lot of gorgeous pictures on my vacation which I thought I'd share with you all. They aren't the greatest of photos (I took them on my phone) but I'm sure some of you will enjoy them! I had such an amazing time and I can't wait to go back again some day. If anyone would like a more in depth post about my trip to Cape Cod please let me know! :) It was such a great way to end my summer, and I'm already missing it... I hope you enjoyed these photos and you're all having a wonderful end to your summers! xo

Swimsuit season is in full swing, but that doesn't mean you have to strut your stuff in a teeny tiny bikini. I've really been loving swimwear that is still sexy but covers more skin and offers much more support than your average bikini. These would be great for curvier figures, ladies with a bigger bust and those who want a more modest bathing suit without giving up the sex appeal factor. If you've ever felt a bit uncomfortable in a bikini, but think one-piece bathing suits to be less attractive, you've definitely got to check these ones out. Options like these would offer more support for a larger bust. I love the one in the middle with the scalloping on the top and the slimming vertical stripes!  These options remain to be super sexy while offering more coverage than a bikini would. The lace is so pretty! While these are still 2 piece bathing suits, the high waisted bottoms are so flattering and cute. There's less skin shown and I know that ladies
