Aveeno Positively Radiant Launch Event & Product Line

Last month, I attended an event in celebration of Aveeno's new Positively Radiant products. If the Positively Radiant line sounds familiar to you, it's probably because you've seen one of the extremely aesthetically-pleasing ads starring Jennifer Aniston. While I've used a couple of the Positively Radiant products in the past, I'm always excited by new drugstore brand line expansions. What's not to love about affordable skincare products? Since people seem to be intrigued by these PR events, as well as the Positively Radiant line itself, I figured I'd do a write-up on both! Keep reading for all of the details on the launch party, as well as what products I'm most excited to try.

Shop Local, Spend Local: Grey Goose Marché 🛒

Last Friday, I was invited to check out the Grey Goose Marché at Queen and University. It was a two-day event that not only promoted Grey Goose, but also allowed guests to sip, shop and savour some of the best the city of Toronto has to offer. Besides the fact that I was in heaven because absolutely everything was blue (which is my favourite colour just in case you couldn't tell from the photo above), I got the opportunity to meet so many amazing local vendors. So, I thought I'd share a few of them with you because you can never have too many go-to pastry and flower shops, right?! 

🥞 Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe 🥞

When we go to brunch, my dad's one requirement is that there are buttermilk pancakes on the menu. I'm not sure when his love for them started, but he's been on a quest to find the best buttermilk pancakes for as long as I can remember. Even though my brother and I knew we could never reach that threshold, we decided to make him some homemade ones for Father's Day. I don't want to brag, but they tasted amazing and I achieved a pretty darn good "golden brown" colour if I do say so myself. So, I figured I'd share this tried and true recipe on here!

Photo Diary: NYC Edition🗽

I went back to New York to visit some friends last week and to absolutely no one's surprise, I took a ton of photos while I was there. I ate my way through the city, went to Belmont Stakes (a once in a lifetime experience that I truly only want to experience once in my lifetime), and returned to l'Appartement Sezane (as seen in my New York, New York post) because it's a floral-loving blogger's dream. If you're looking to live vicariously, or are simply seeking some travel inspiration, look no further!

Juice Beauty Launches at Sephora Canada!

Earlier this week, I attended a press event for Juice Beauty. For those of you who don't know, Juice Beauty is a makeup and skincare brand based in Northern California. All of their products are made with certified organic ingredients, and Goop is one of its partners meaning Gwenyth Paltrow is currently the Creative Director of Makeup. Yes, that Gwenyth Paltrow.

Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors Exhibit

Last weekend, I went to the Infinity Mirrors exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario. In case you have somehow evaded social media for the last few years, Infinity Mirrors is the incredibly photogenic and mind-blowing brainchild of Yayoi Kusama, a contemporary Japanese artist. The exhibit featured the infinity rooms, as well as some of her well-known sculptures and paintings. If you weren't able to snag a ticket but were hoping to catch a glimpse of the exhibit, look no further!
