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,

I always admire those mothers, who seem to have it all figured out. A career, a supportive husband, incredible physique with a pair of well-behaved children. Among those mothers is mine!

She not only defended her Ph.D while in her last trimester with me, she was a professor in Ukraine, she established a wonderful career in Canada, is happily married to my father for the past 25 years, a wicked cook, the best mother, and doesn't look a day over 40 — she is a wonder woman, in my mind!

Although children of my own are far from my mind at this stage in life, they are definitely part of my future. Whenever a topic of family arises, I always wonder how can one woman have so many façades. In the modern day, she is not only expected to be a caring mother, a loving wife, a chef, a house-wife but also a business woman and a complete knock-out. No pressure at all! So can any girl become a "Victoria Beckham" minus the scary heels?

I am thrilled to introduce a Dinner Date giveaway! Not reserved for just couples, it is an evening of culinary indulgence at Spice Route — 499 King Street West, Toronto — to spend with the person you love. Perhaps you’re in need of romance, perhaps an evening of gossip with a best friend, or some quality time with your mother. I just hope that this giveaway makes someone’s day a little brighter!

For you chance to win, just tell me who’s going to be your plus one for the evening?

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 :)
