Hello Darlings,

What girl wouldn't want to re-live her prom, now that she is older and wiser!

My prom in the summer of 2006 was a dream come true but given the chance to do it again, I avoided the drama and a hefty price tag. Whether you're in high-school and getting ready for prom, in university and going to semi-formal, or you're all grown up and attending a gala. Despite the different walks in life, every girl shares the same desire to feel beautiful for that special occasion.

Hello Darlings,

Do you know those days when you just don’t feel like spending that hour getting ready? When styling your hair seems like a chore, or when matching heels to an outfit is a dreaded task. Yes, one of those days! When you just want to get up and go without preening or primping; a day when men seems to have all the luck with their ten minute get-ready routine.

Naturally, no girl wants to sacrifice the cuteness factor due to sheer lack of enthusiasm for the hair dryer and mascara. This is when those nifty shortcuts that we learn through experience and harsh reality of womanhood come in handy. Of course, every girl has her own secrets, the kind of knowledge that needs to be shared so as many of us can benefit :)

Celebrating Easter

On April 16, 2012 · 8 Comments · In Culture, Family, Life As It Happens, Spring, Wear

Hello Darlings,

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! This weekend was Orthodox Easter (the Easter that my family celebrates), so I had a lot of festivities and even wore an apron to show off my domestic skills...Well, according to my mother my remarkable culinary skills are not so impressive, but I do have mad Easter egg making skills.

Having been raised in a traditional Catholic family, I do attend church. Part of Orthodox Easter ritual is the blessing of the basket. As community gathers at the church the priest blesses the many culinary delights that each household brings. It is a special tradition that my family celebrates. For those curious about the religious ins and outs, Wikipedia is your source. In the meantime, shall we dive into the topic of what to wear?
