Relaxing with Rinse Beauty Bar

November 20, 2015 Danielle D'Ornellas
Could this get any cuter?

Could this get any cuter?

As the holiday season creeps closer and closer (HOW are we two-thirds through November already? Can somebody tell me?) I can feel my body screaming for a little bit of R&R. And in my books? That means heading to place where somebody will pamper me, and let me leave prettier than I arrived. A few weeks ago I visited Rinse Beauty Bar in Etobicoke that did JUUUST that.

2015 Beauty Resolutions

January 28, 2015 Danielle D'Ornellas
Because it's not easy being fabulous

Because it's not easy being fabulous

We all make goals we may or may not keep at the beginning of the year, why not some try failing at some that are related to beauty and fashion too? Here's what I'm challenging myself to in 2015. Some are easy fixes, but the others? Not quite so much. *See if you can guess the ones I'm dreading the most!*

The Big January No-Buy Challenge

January 5, 2015 Danielle D'Ornellas
A No-Buy? Easier said than done...

A No-Buy? Easier said than done...

It's 2015, do you know where all your money went this year? I do, and I know I spent a good chunk of change on makeup that is still sitting in a drawer waiting to be worn. Time for a no-buy y'all!

Made in Canada: Veelightful

December 7, 2014 Danielle D'Ornellas
Veelightful Bath and Body Products

Veelightful Bath and Body Products

Welcome to my newest feature, something I've really been looking to start for awhile: Made in Canada! While we all know about mainstream brands and companies that sell beauty products, we also have our favourite indie companies that make impressive products that we brag about to all our friends. Why not share those companies and help small, Canadian businesses at the same time? Shop local and often!

What is Veelightful?

Veelightful is Toronto-based, indie, bath and body online store. Think of it like Lush, except that Veelightful products specifically exist to pamper nerds and geeks alike!

Hi there!

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 playl
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
