Travel: A weekend in Chicago, Illinois

Allie Beckwith 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!

Travel: 48H in Calgary, Alberta

Allie Beckwith September 27, 2019

Surprisingly, I have never been to Calgary! After spending an amazing couple of nights in this beautiful city, I can’t believe I haven’t gone sooner! Luckily some of the best girls already live in Calgary, so the choice of destination was easy!

Travel Guide: 24h in Saint John

Allie Beckwith August 23, 2019

I am SO excited to share a day in the life of the amazing city I live in. There are so many things I LOVE about this Saint John. Amazing restaurants, the ocean, local shops, fun events, tons of places to stay, I could go on and on. If you haven't been to my cute little hometown yet, I want to make it easy for you. I've compiled a list of my favourite go-tos in the city to make your trip as photogenic as possible and, one you will remember.

Travel: San Francisco , California

Allie Beckwith May 12, 2019

Hi guys!! I know this is so overdue and I am sorry!! We took so many photos in California a few months ago that even the thought of editing them all was so overwhelming. Lol. But I did it!! And I’ve separated them into each city or town that we stayed in! I will be releasing each one over the coming weeks! As some of you know, we had booked a trip to Hawaii scheduled for January, but something came up with Justin’s work and we had to postpone the trip until October. We were so bummed, so we decided to book a last minute trip to California for Christmas. We started off in San Fransisco and then headed to Napa Valley, and then headed down the coast to Los Angeles.

Travel Guide: Montreal

Allie Beckwith April 8, 2019

I’m going to write this as if Montreal is a city that you have never visiting and you’ve just arrived for the first time! Some of these are my absolute go-to’s, and a few others are some I’ve just discovered recently, but highly recommend and can’t wait to return.

Cala De Mar Resort, Ixtapa Mexico

Allie Beckwith May 21, 2018

OMG I cannot believe this was my first time to MEXICO! What a truly incredible place. So I'm going to start this off with a little story. I think about the universe and what you put out there, you get back, the law of attraction and many more things like that, ALL the time. One of my favourite types of talks are all of these things. So you wanna talk Universe, hit me up. If you are an avid Instagram story watcher, you may have seen me go on about how I want to go on a relaxing vacation, randomly a few weeks ago. I literally just felt in a bit of a rut, Justin and I's schedules were off and we were barely seeing each other, and all of my work can be done remote. I just had an itch to get out of town and lay by a beach. So basically I told YOU GUYS this over the internet, and get a phone call 24h later saying "Hey! Heard you wanted a vacation, this film summit in Mexico just came up with one more space, you need to go." Well hey, ok yes flights are booked. LOL. I went a few days early to really soak up the relaxation end of the trip before the film summit. The ULTIMATE relaxation resort is CAL DE MAR! Holayyyyy. This is the most beautiful resort I have ever seen in my entire life, let alone STAYED AT. Wow

California

Allie Beckwith February 1, 2018

I can't believe how behind this post is! We took this trip back in November, and now it's officially February. That is insane. It basically sums up my motivation for sitting on a computer these days though. I've been feeling much more excited about hanging and creating in my studio lately then being in front of the screen. So that's good right? LOL maybe.

Summer Vacation 2017

Allie Beckwith August 22, 2017

Youu guyssss!!! It's becoming the end of August!!! That is insane. I had to double check when I looked at the date today. Where the heck did this summer go? I feel like I've really spent most of my summer inside behind a computer. I still find it really hard to give myself set work hours, and "time off". Being self employed it's almost like there is NO time for that. LOL. I'm happy that this past week Justin and I got to get away and really disconnect from the work and internet world. Service was cutting in and out, so we both put our phones on airplane mode and hit the road.

Argus Audiology: Everything you need to know about your hearing!

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).

Home Series: Master Bathroom Reveal

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

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

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

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.
