From Work to Play: Styling Your Workwear

Holla at my working gals! Whether you’re an entrepreneur or have a full-time job and side hustle like me, when work is done we all look forward to a little play, am I right? During the day I work in digital marketing and communications in an office environment and otherwise spend much of my free time juggling blogging, freelance consulting, content creation and styling work. Therefore, I am someone who lives by my daily agenda and I have to plan my weeks ahead of time. But I’m not a workaholic! Amongst these daily activities are plans to spend time with family and friends during my evenings and weekends. Quality time with my favourite people is equally important.

All I’m saying is, it isn’t always easy to determine which items are must-haves, which are worth giving a try, and which should be left untouched for some quirky collector type. But as someone who can proudly pronounce herself a seasoned second-hand hunter, I’ve got three vintage-shopping tips to guide you on your next consignment shopping trip.

My Skin Care Saga: The Journey To Clear Skin

I’ve never been the girl with perfect skin. Well, let’s be real here, not even close. Similar to most, it started in my teens when puberty arrived but it hasn’t stopped since. Zits, bumps, and full-blown acne have been my foes for many years now.
