Reading as a form of self-care: My current book stack.

Reading as a form of self-care: My current book stack.

I don't usually make it a point to do blog posts inspired by National 'Days' as I think there are too many of them already, but I only just heard of International Self-Care Day the day AFTER it was over! Maybe it's just not that big in Canada? Regardless, I spent some time thinking about it, and here goes!

The KonMari Method: How to get rid of everything and still stay sane.

I've been a bit AWOL over the last two months but here's part of what I've been up to! The KonMari method is my new JAM and look for it to inspire more blogs in the future. See how I fared in my first attempt!

The Great Satchel Hunt of 2017!

March 19, 2017 Danielle D'Ornellas
The Great Satchel Hunt - One man, many bags.

The Great Satchel Hunt - One man, many bags.

Hey guys! I have a guest-post written by my #1 fan - my boyfriend John Maynard! He was inspired by my Great Winter Boot-Off post and wanted to describe his bag shopping experience for y'all. Let me know what you think!

Satchel. Cross-body Bag. Shoulder Bag. Man Purse. Plain ol’ Purse. Doesn’t matter what you call it, I rarely venture out without slinging my bag over my shoulder. It keeps my pockets from bulging and makes sure that I’ve always got change, a granola bar, and my sunglasses ready to go. Whatever you call it, purses are great and more guys out there should be using them more!

2017 Beauty Blogger Goals!

2017 Beauty Blogger Goals!

Now, before I begin, I'm going to warn you. I'm not traditionally a person who does 'resolutions' every year. I'm trying to make my goals ones that improve me PERSONALLY, not just the blog. I'm not a brand, or a business after all, I'm just a gal who likes makeup :)

Looks like it's time for my monthly makeup! This time last year I was only two weeks post-eye surgery so I couldn't wear makeup at all and then all of ~ this ~ happened. I was going through my vanity recently, not that I've had to desire to wear stuf
Looks like it's time for my monthly makeup! This time last year I was only two weeks post-eye surgery so I couldn't wear makeup at all and then all of ~ this ~ happened. I was going through my vanity recently, not that I've had to desire to wear stuff again, and discovered that SO many of my products had gone bad, and, of them, how many were things I had barely touched. I'm not heading to MINIMALISM or anything, but it has been a bit cathartic to throw out things and really take stock of things, whether it's makeup, or just anything else in life. The one thing I feel grateful for in the last time is more of this time to figure out what *I* actually want, even if it's not what I expected one year ago.
Took a half day yesterday and ended up at the lake. It wasn't too cold, but the skyline looked amazing. I'm still pretty sad these days, not gonna lie, but it felt nice to do something outside and I hope this weather sticks around so I can experience

Today was a holiday, it meant I didn't need to go to work, but when work is just a desk in your living room two feet from your couch, it still feels like you're always at work and never at work, and always waiting until you just turn the laptop back
Today was a holiday, it meant I didn't need to go to work, but when work is just a desk in your living room two feet from your couch, it still feels like you're always at work and never at work, and always waiting until you just turn the laptop back on. Days have no real meaning, time has no meaning, the monotony is just what it is now. Today wasn't a good day. I didn't have to do anything and I couldn't really do anything. Stuff felt pointless, hobbies felt pointless. Everything felt hard and yet I still had to force myself through it. Here's to basically just muddling through. Because we're all gonna have these days and to pretend you don't isn't helping anyone, even yourself.

To celebrate our 14th anniversary, @thecjm and I made the best of it and ordered the set course from @alobaryorkville including some amazing scallops, a duck confit, amazing milk bread & a truly decadent millefeuille, streamed their Spotify playlist, made some cocktails & had a good night in. I even threw on a dress and tights so at least I partially felt like we were really going out! ♥️ Not our most exciting anniversary, but definitely in the top ten 😉.
First pic on the grid in 2021 is a makeup free, eye bag visible, sunshine selfie and I'm not mad about it. The last few weeks have been rough, but so have the last two months of lockdown in Toronto and hell, the last ten months in general. But it is

But it is still nice to see some sunshine, even if it's bouncing off of 1 Bloor East & blasting me in the face as I try to read! 😂☀️
