FAQ

Allie Beckwith April 25, 2018

Ok guys! Here it is all in one place! FAQ!!!!I get these questions literally every day, so I hope this helps!!! I'll update it as time goes by! Hahaha If I forgot anything, let me know! 

Enjoy!

What phone do you have? 
The Google Pixel 2! I love love love it. The photo and camera quality is amazing and that’s the main thing I care about when looking for a cellphone. I love the google phone because their is SO MUCH STORAGE. All of my photos back up to my Google Photos and I can access them from anywhere. I love how natural the phone is to use and it hasn’t let me down yet! Justin had the Google Pixel 1 for a couple years and I always found myself wanting to take photos with his phone instead of mine, I used his phone a lot and knew I wanted the Pixel to be my next phone. The only thing I HATE about it is where the “back” button is. It’s on the left side and I wish it was on the right side. Lol.

Which programs do you edit with?
On my phone I use Snapseed! I loveeee it so much. It takes a while to get used to, but just spend an evening fooling around with all the different settings, get used to using it and I think you'll like it!!  I edit every photo I use on Instagram, with Snapseed. On my computer I use Photoshop and Lightroom.

Which camera do you shoot with? 
I use a Canon 5D Mark II

EOS 5D Mark ll 21. 1MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera (Body)

20180425_170709.jpg

Which lens do you use? 
50mm L1.2. I die for this thing. It's all I use for basically every client shoot I do. I've had it for years and it has changed my life, and career. Lol

Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Ultra-Fast Standard AutoFocus Lens - International Version

 Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 Lens (Cheaper alternative, still great)

Where is your bed frame from?
Justin built that too!! If you search Japanese style platform bed, you can see what he used for inspo! 

9x12 Shag Area Rug in Off White

Do you really love your Endy bed? 
Yes!! I really do love my endy bed, endy pillows and honestly endy sheets. I used to alternate sheets, like normal people do, but now I make sure that these are washed and dried in the same day and put back on again that night. Justin doesn't love his endy pillow, he prefers basically sleeping on a thick brick..... his pillow is so weird. But I love my endy pillow, I always like it where it's firmest, and flip it back and forth during the night. The sheets are cooling sheets, and feel like you're at a hotel. The bed itself is just the best. I can't feel when Justin gets out of bed, but it's nottttt super memory-phoney, if that makes sense. It's just really comfortable. We have the king size and I think that definitely helps with our love for it, it's seriously huge. 
ALSO - use the discount code BECKWITH50 to get 50.00 off your own endy bed at endy.com

 Which white paint did you use on your walls?
In our new house we used Beauti-Tone in Here comes the Bride! It is sold exclusively at Home Hardware. We painted our entire house this color and I LOVE it.

Was that your rooftop patio? Or was it shared?
It's private! It was alllll ours <3 Miss it sometimes. Haha

Where did you get your Bernedoodles??
I get this question so much and I wish I had a more helpful answer, but we got Mason from a family in Quebec. They don't breed for a business. We found that Bernedoodles were sooo hard to find around New Brunswick, and SO expensive, like 3000.00. We did not pay that. We got Marty in St Quinten! They don’t have a name either. We found them online. I wish I was more help!! Lol. 

IMG_4705.jpg

Which mascara do you wear? 
I religiously wear Covergirl Lash Blast, the one in the big orange tube, in "Very black". I've been using this since high school and have tried other ones but hated them. I love this because the wand is plastic and so so good. Washing it off is EASY, (to me a HUGE part of liking mascara is getting it off easily). It actually dries and doesn't stay sticky and weird. Andddd people alwayssss ask me if I am wearing false lashes. They're real!

Where did you get your initial necklace?

What do you use for self tan? 
I use St. Moriz. I really really really love it and the price is unbelievable, it is SO affordable. I use medium shade in the winter, and dark in the summer. You will also need a tanning mitt for applying the mousse! I have a whole post on my tanning routine here!

  What are the comfy pants by Lululemon you kept talking about in your stories?
I keep getting so many messages about these LOL They are the Ready to Rulu and I will link the exact ones right here. I have them in black and also in blue.


Where do you get your scrunchies?
All of the ones I have are from Loop! They are a little company out of Fredericton. Find them on Instagram here. I also have a few from Chelsea King that I love too!

Which extensions do you wear?

I love these ones and they are great if you have darker roots and if you want dimension! I order two packs in the 20”. They are thick and beautifulllllll <3
Here’s the link!

I have also been testing out the Bellami hair extensions. I like them a lot, but thinking I need another pack for thickness. They come rooted which I love, but they are expensive, and ordering two packs is a lotta $$ Lol.

Where did you get your ponytail extension from?

I found it on Amazon! The brown one in this picture is synthetic. They have sooo many options on there for ponytail extensions! It’s amazing lol. This one in particular is only $15.99 and its such a fun look if you want to try a long pony!

Here is the link!

The blonde one that I wear all the time is real hair so you can curl it, straighten it, etc. It is more expensive but so worth it. Here is the link for that one. I have the 18”

What kind of blow dryer do you use?

I had no idea these would be such a hit. Hahah. They are super comfortable, cozy and the price is great. I ordered the smallest size, my feet are size 6!
Here’s the link!

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.
