Music Monday | Unorthodox Jukebox

Hello everyone! Happy Family Day to all the Canadian's enjoying the time off with family :) This week we're featuring Bruno Mars' new record, "Unorthodox Jukebox"!

D.I.Y - Care Package/Valentine's Day Box

Hey darlings! I realize this is a bit late, but this is because I wanted to show this DIY not only as a Valentine's Day idea but as a sweet idea in general, especially if you're in a long distance relationship. Creating a homemade care package is the perfect gesture for a boyfriend, brother, husband, (or girlfriend/sister/wife) or just anyone special in your life who is far away for the time being. It's very inexpensive and really shows that it's the sentimental thoughts that count. Here's one I made and some other ideas of items you can put in it!

First you need to start out with a box, I chose a shoebox because it's the perfect size. And then you need to decorate it with stickers, glitter, confetti, whatever you want. I got this all rom the dollar store. 

DIY | Party Décor

Hi dolls! We recently had a candy themed 1st birthday party for our niece, and made banners to go with each table at the party, labels for the candy bar, and loot bags. So we decided to do another DIY in case you wanted to attempt some party décor!

These are extremely similar to the one's we made for Shivani's going away party in the summer time, however they're a different style. Let's get started!

Fashion Fix | #OOTD

Hey dolls! Just a quick little Outfit of the Day post! Shivani, Sonia & I went bowling for our little cousin's 15th birthday, which called for cute comfy style. Coincidentally we both showed up wearing beanies, pullovers, skinnies and combats. I guess comfy minds think a-like!

Just a little rant..

When I get angry..I go on rants..and here one is for you to read. I wrote this in the summer and never shared. Here you go friends :)

What’s your notion of self-respect? As a woman, I’ve struggled with this concept throughout my life. Growing up I was always taught that a woman had to respect herself. “Treat yourself with respect”. But what does that actually mean?

As a girl I always assumed that it meant to take care of your body and nurture your growth. Whatever you think that is as a child; taking care of yourself, sleeping right, trying hard in school. As I grew older it evolved into dressing in a way that you “respect” yourself. This meant: cover yourself and don’t show skin because you’re better than that. It was the idea that showing skin meant you were making yourself look like a girl who wasn’t worth the wait, a girl who didn’t care enough about herself to save herself for marriage or not provoke the minds of men.

I’m sorry..what? If I want to wear a tank top and shorts I somehow don’t respect myself? I began to wonder when this once healthy idea of taking care of your body, eating right, exercising, doing things to benefit one’s self, all of a sudden became this paternalistic guideline of how I should dress – and that if I don’t dress properly I’m somehow not treating myself properly.
