Your Lcky Day

Allie Beckwith January 25, 2017

Hey boys, guess what's coming up? I know you're super excited and just as pumped as we are. -I know you know what I'm referring to too...

Valentines Day!!!

I wish I could say I was one of those cool girls that couldn't give af about Valentine's Day, but let's be honest, I was expecting flowers, dinner, movie, dark chocolate, jewelry and all of the above. Yes it's overrated, yes we know that, and yes we

try

not to care, yes we're high maintenance. Anyways, let me help you out and give you a little insight: If your girlfriend tells you she doesn't care and that she doesn't want you to do anything,

she's lying

. I promise

and remember that.

Do not be fooled.

So let me give you a couple ideas. Depending on your budget and how romantic you are. I can give you one tip that will 

always always always always

 work, and it's not going to make you regret buying a pack of granola bars that one time at Shoppers last week. -

Flowersssssssss

! They're perfect, it's thoughtful and I promise it will make her giddy. There's aren't a lot of things hotter than seeing a guy walk into a room with a bouquet of flowers. The day isn't as shallow as you think, it's an excuse to go out of your way to make someone feel a little extra special!!!

I'm doing this post early enough for you to save some money too. Now is a good time to make a reservation at her favourite restaurant. Do it now and not the day before, I promise you it will already be full. Do not make the mistake of getting all dressed up and showing up at the restaurant without a reservation. You will be beautiful, but cold and annoyed and outside with nowhere to go.

I'm doing this post early enough for you to also shop this men's look. I have all the angles covered here lmao. These ties by

The Lcky

are the perfect opportunity to freshen up your look and really good to add to your tie collection. You really can't go wrong with any of them so I picked my favourite two to display for you guys. I love a guy in all black, 

always

. But I do understand not everyone feels this way, so I picked one that I also love but isn't only black or white. The Lcky is a new brand based out of Montreal and killing it so far. Men's fashion can be directed at men, or their girlfriends, and they're catching the attention of both.

I love the idea of owning a lucky tie, it's good;) They're handmade and designed by, girlfriends.

Get it girllssss.

 They're silky smooth and red on the backside adding a recognizable touch. The queen in the lower corner is also a detail I like a lot, kind of says "my girlfriend dressed me". I also want to add that they're affordable. I bet you're expecting them to be around the 100.00 mark, but they're not!! They are 47.00CAD! Yahooo so guys and gals, get on this lcky train.

I love hearing how people celebrate Valentine's Day, whether its a horror story of a past relationship, or a tradition every year between grandparents! It's one of those love/hate days that everyone has some sort of story about.

Good luck guys!!

Argus Audiology: Everything you need to know about your hearing!
March 27, 2020

When Argus Audiology reached out to me a while ago I was a little unsure about how we could partner. I’m young, why do I need to go get my hearing checked out, it really made no sense to me- at first. The more I started to think about it and as a few months went by I really started to mention to Justin more and more that I DID think I should get my hearing checked after all, (he IS always saying I'm never listening to him lol).

Travel: A weekend in Chicago, Illinois
October 1, 2019

Hey guys! I am SO excited to talk about this recent trip to Chicago. Chicago was a city I had never been to before, and I didn’t think there was much there that would be exciting. But, I was totally wrong! Chicago is a beautiful city that I now can’t wait to go back to. We had 3 days to experience it all and everything we recommend from where to stay from where to get your coffee is all below!

Home Series: Master Bathroom Reveal
July 3, 2019

IT’S HAPPENING! We are finally finished the shared master bathroom! I am so excited and we have been enjoying the finished product for about a week now, just putting together the final touches. If you remember from the original home tour when we moved in, the whole house had so much wood, and was just outdated. All of the rooms, bathroom included, were a great size and pretty good layout. They just needed a little refresh!

Art hacks
June 27, 2019

Through the many years of putting my thoughts and ideas on paper & canvas, I’ve grown long lasting relationships with supplies that allow me to create all my works that I know and love. Every artist out there knows the struggle of finding that perfect white paint that will remain faithful, or that one fine tip black pen that perfectly adds detail to their acrylics on canvas. Today I’m here to share my go-tos!

My sunless tanning routine
June 15, 2019

Hey guys!! This may be my most frequently asked question of all time, maybe tied with hair extensions (and that ones coming soon too!) Lol. I have been using this tanning foam for years and I absolutely love it. It makes you SO dark, immediately, and then develops even darker over the following few hours. The price is what seriously knocks it out of the park. It is the most affordable that I’ve ever found and no other ones even compare to it’s price.

Home Series: DIY Concrete Backsplash

Hi guys! SO excited to share this process with you. We were so stuck on what to do for our kitchen backsplash and I am so tired of seeing white subway tile in kitchens. LOL. I knew I wanted something solid coloured and that didn’t take away from anything else like our marble or butcher block.

My 3 Month Hair Growth Journey
April 11, 2019

Hi guys! Honestly I never thought I would ever be in a place to FINALLY talk about my hair growth. Lol. It has been such a struggle for me, for literally years. I could never understand it, my hair dressers could never understand it. People would always say it was probably because of my extensions, or because I would bleach it, or that it was growing. I never believed any of the above lol. My arguments were: As much as you see me with my extensions in, in photos or at events, is maybe 2 times per month. I do mainly all of my shooting in one day for Instagram & the blog. And I very rarely get ready and go anywheres Lol. I work from home every day barley brush my hair. So to think that my extensions were ruining my hair, just did not convince me. Bleaching it, of course dries your hair out, so I took 6+ month long breaks between getting my hair done for the past, almost 2 years, and still nothing. I did frequent hair treatments to make sure the moisture was locked in and that my ends were never getting to dry.
