I really want to start trying more natural and organic products, but I haven't done the research yet to know what to get, so for now, I'm going to share with you what products I've been obsessing over this summer so far!

Velour Lashes
Velour Lashes are individually handmade with 100% authentic mink fur. They are custom designed to achieve your desired look. On the website they have a variety of different styles that are around $30.00, the price seems high but these lashes can be worn up to 25 times! Synthetic eyelashes, although cheaper, are irritating to the eye, fake and unnatural when worn, and can only be used a few times. Mink eyelashes are considered a high end product compared to the synthetic.  Don't get me wrong, I still grab those cheap synthetic ones when I'm in a rush to get ready for a night out, but after I got these, these were definitely my go to and worth the money in my opinion, considering how much usage you get out of them! I personally prefer having semi-permanent eyelash extensions in, but when I don't have those, I wear Velour! Check there website out HERE





VIKTOR & ROLF FLOWERBOMB
I think this perfume speaks for itself when you smell it!Hands down one of the most amazing perfumes I've owned! Its like sweet and spicy, and has almost a hint of a cologne smell to it. Its very unique, and I highly recommend! Its on the pricier side but well worth it! I got this at The Bay
Click HERE to purchase!

REVLON PHOTOREADY AIRBRUSH MOUSSE
In my opinion this is a drugstore product that's easily comparable to a higher end product. I use this on my clients as well as Loreal's True Match, and it never disappoints. The mousse texture makes it not feel so heavy but it definitely gives great coverage! Highly recommend! You can purchase this at Walmart, London Drugs, anywhere like that.
Note: this is not my personal color, just part of my collection

Revlon Lipgloss in Peach Petal
One of my favorite go-to nude lipglosses! In my opinion one of the perfect nude shades of lipgloss. I use this all the time, and alot of the time I use it on top of a pink lipstick!
combined with that, it gives a really nice look! You can purchase this again at any Walmart, or drugstore!

Marcelle Face Powder in Translucent
Powder is an important step in the makeup process! After any liquid such as foundation or concealer, one must powder after to set it! I've went through a lot of different brands of powders and this impressed me, not only because it was only $5.00, its a great powder and does the trick! simple as that!
I purchased mine at Superstore!

PINK Sunkissed Body Lotion & Luminous Body Bronzer
I love the new scents PINK & Victoria's Secret comes out with, especially in the summer! I picked up these recently from PINK in Vancouver and there was a lot to choose from, but this one reminded me the most of summer! The body bronzer is a liquid so be careful when applying with white clothes especially. It is by no means a  self tanner, so it will not tan your skin, just give it a nice bronzed glow for the day or night! It washes off easily in the shower!
I do love these products! I love having a bronzed glow in the summer, and even better when it smells like the beach!
Purchase this at PINK.
I'm not certain its on the website but click HERE to check it out! 

NeoStrata Natural Insta-Tan
This product was recommended to me by my girlfriend, and she swears by it and has only used this product in all of her self tanning days! So I gave it a go and was definitely happy with the color it gave me! Although I was in Mexico at the time i tried it. So the color was perfect for a Vaca, because it was really dark! I was definitely tanned! But hey, i like being dark! So in this case its a personal preference! If you dont like getting too dark I would say go for something else! Its a lotion base, so its easy to apply, rub it in the best you can to avoid streaking, and if your using your hands, i suggest cleaning your hands in between applications!
The only place I've seen this for purchase was Shoppers Drug Mart

PHILOSOPHY Pink Jelly Bean Bubble Bath
I love philosophy products, and especially their bubble bath, which also can be used as a shampoo or shower gel. I use it as a bubble bath!
They have a variety of flavors but this particular one is one of my favorites! You can buy philosophy at The Bay, London Drugs or Sephora

Marcelle BB Cream in Medium to Dark
I LOVE BB Creams, its personally all I use and have for quite some time now! That being said I have tried out a ton of different brands and this one by far is the best, so far! I haven't tried them all, but for a drugstore brand I love it! This is definitely my go-to everyday! For those of you who don't know much about BB Cream ill tell you exactly what a BB Cream is. BB cream is promoted as an all-in-one facial cosmetic product to replace serum, moisturizer, primer, foundation and sunblock. It can be worn alone as a tinted moisturizer, over serum and moisturizer as a regular foundation, and under powder, depending on the desired amount of coverage. It has a variety of anti-aging, anti-acne, whitening, pore tightening, and brightening properties. Its the perfect skincare/cosmetic and allows you to care for your skin while concealing imperfections. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a go!
I bought mine at Shoppers Drug Mart. The Marcelle brand is limited to certain stores!

Bath & Body Works
Coconut Lime Breeze
I absolutely love this scent for Summer, I wore it everyday in Mexico! And need I say more!
Purchase this at Bath & Body Works




Lise Watier Gold Liquid Silk
This product is a body bronzer, again not a self tanner! It's meant to give you a bronzed glow for the day or night, and washes off easily! You can use it all over your body, but make sure you wash your hands after applying and before touching anything! I love using this product in the summer, because I personally feel having a glow is totally necessary and flattering to any woman! I recommend this product for just that!
I bought this at London Drugs, but you can purchase this at Shoppers Drug Mart as well.

Summer Loves

So this summer I'm obsessed with the color yellow! Neon yellow, pale yellow, canary yellow...any yellow!
It is always the first color that stands out to me when I go somewhere, whether its clothing, shoes, home decor, you name it...But...I would probably only buy yellow in clothing! 
I'm also obsessed with maxi dresses, rompers, jumpsuits, short vintage jean shorts, and crop tops this summer! I feel like I always have been every summer, but even more this summer!
And last but not least, the boho-chic , hippy-chic look is everything this summer, and probably forever. I feel the most myself when I attempt to dress that way! You just cant go wrong! 

That being said, here is a few collages courtesy of POLYVORE, and pictures of my favorites this summer!Yellow Love

Hey Everyone!!!


I'm SO excited to be back into the blogging world! I got busy with my life and just couldn't find the time to dedicate myself to blogging, but that's about to change! I've given my blog a makeover and I'm starting fresh!
Starting with my new name "The Domestic Goddess". I plan to fill my blog with a variety of things that I love including, fashion, home decor, DIY's, Mommy stuff, baby stuff, tutorials, food, a little bit of everything! I hope you'll follow me in my blogging journey and enjoy it as much as I do!

To start things off...some of my favorite pictures from our most recent trip to Mexico for a beautiful beach wedding! My daughter was one of 3 flower girls, and her daddy was a groomsmen! It was a beautiful day!
