My New Hair: EXIT Salon Experience

On June 3, 2011 · 11 Comments · In Hair Care, Primp
Hello Darlings,

At 12:30 on the dot on Wednesday, I was sipping coffee and fidgeting around in a butter soft chair at EXIT Salon, waiting to meet Rebecca and Leland. It was my first time in 7 years that new hands were to touch my hair. This was not just any hair appointment: it was my first hair appointment with a new creative team.

After breaking off a relationship with my stylist of 7 years, my hair and I were both overwhelmed. The prospect of looking for a new salon was as terrifying as the thought of spending yet another day with a fading dye job and split ends. I finally found the courage to explore the unknown and report back.

I was ready to experiment for a greater cause: I set out to discover what it is that a girl should look for when in search of a new colorist and stylist. Following a bit of research and a few recommendations, I decided to take that risk with EXIT Salon at 1360 Yonge Street, Toronto. EXIT is Redken’s flagship salon and is owned by an award winning professional, Rob Pizzuti.

Hello Darlings,

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend Coca Cola’s 125th Birthday Celebration in Toronto. The event was open to the public at Dundas Square, and had an exclusive media sound check and backstage access. It was sunny Saturday afternoon, and this event was the perfect place to spend a few hours in the sun while being entertained by Kardinal Offishall.

The event was well organized and the spirit of celebration was in the air as the crowd sipped on their Cokes and just enjoyed themselves. Definitely a fun afternoon with a group of my closest friends :)

Mother’s Day in Repetto

On May 9, 2011 · 6 Comments · In Culture, Family, Go, Life As It Happens, Spring, Wear
Hello Darlings,

Wishing every mother a happy Mother's Day! On this special day every mother should receive a huge hug and thanks, for all those hours spent in labor and for being a total trooper! As I am shy conveying emotions, a special thanks her to my own greatest mother in the world!

This year, my Mother’s Day was action-packed and required a comfortable outfit. My day started with a wonderful brunch and fun times spent outdoors with a very cute bunch (Thank you!). The second half of the day was filled with majorly girly things like getting a mani and pedi and watching “Something Borrowed”, which was wonderful!

Jimmy Choo Goes to Church

On April 25, 2011 · 13 Comments · In Culture, Life As It Happens, Spring, Wear
Hello Darlings,

Although I avoid the topic of family, friends and relationships, those are the most important parts of my life. I feel very blessed with my family and the people that I have in my life. I am especially reminded of this during the holidays.

Being an immigrant, I am separated from close family by an ocean and thousands of kilometers. Although I did not have all of the family members present, the traditions that we carry on in Canada bring us together. As a practicing Greek-Catholic, I attend church regularly and value my traditions. Keeping up our faith has been in my family for generations, therefore, the holiday seasons are filled with traditions, family and lots of food.

I was fully prepared for Easter festivities. And no, I am not referring to preparing the Easter basket, I am referring to my wardrobe choices, naturally!
