A Glama-riffic Birthday Party!
It was a day that I was dreading. I knew it would come sooner or later. My baby would no longer be a little 5 year old, but a BIG GIRL. Yes. Little One's 6th birthday was one I was not looking forward to. It meant the end to the "little girl" part of her life and now she would be more grown up. *sniff* Well, we had to make her 6th birthday party a great one. Where else … [Read more...]
I’m a Believer! Younique 3D Fiber Lashes Review & a Giveaway
I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes. Now I'm a believer. Let me first start with telling you that I've got skimpy, barely-there Asian girl lashes. For some reason, the boys in my family have been blessed with long, thick, lush lashes, and I was left with nada. Honestly, there's not much there. Trust me, I've tried almost everything in … [Read more...]
Glama Gal Tween Spa Sudbury Grand Opening
Excited to announce that Glama Gal Tween Spa had their Grand Opening on Saturday, October 25th! I remember being a thirteen years old and enjoying doing my nails, dressing up, and listening to Madonna's Dear Jessie and a bunch of other songs on the weekly Top 40. I remember wishing Summer days would last forever. Even back then, I knew how finite time was and how being a kid … [Read more...]
Glama Gal Tween Spa: Coming to Sudbury!
Do you hear that sound? It's the sound of my five year old (Oops! Almost six year old!) screaming because she is super excited that Glama Gal Tween Spa is coming to Sudbury! Okay, I won't lie. I'm more than a tad excited too! I don't get pampered often, so every once in a while, a great mani or pedi makes my day. Little One and I love having Mommy/Daughter spa days, … [Read more...]
Getting Beach-Ready with Suncoat Girl!
Guess what? School's out for Summer! Living on Manitoulin Island, that means lots of beach and outdoor fun! With lots of beaches in every direction from us, we spend a lot of time outdoors. Little One reminded me that since she'll be in flip flops and sandals all Summer, she wanted to make sure we had a Mommy/Daughter mani/pedi date...on our patio! We started by sipping … [Read more...]
Beautiful Skin: Memories & Youth #BestBeautiful #PGMom
I sat at her feet, playing under her vanity as she applied her make-up and brushed her hair. I remember looking up at my grandmother, thinking she was the most beautiful woman on the planet. When it came to my grandmother, I was always in awe and admiration. The persistence of memory is a remarkable thing. I often find it interesting how I remember her kindness, … [Read more...]
Express your Style Contest!
When I was a little girl, I remember playing with my Barbie collection for hours on end. I had the house, the car, and basically the works! The most special Barbie for me was the one my younger brother bought me with the money he earned as a model in a Chinese New Year fashion show. With his earnings, he bought himself a toy and Tropical Barbie for me. I'll never forget his … [Read more...]

KanDi Jewelry ~ Because Every Girl Needs Something Sweet & Special @kandijewelry
There is no doubt that we have a little girly girl on our hands. As much as I banned pink, frilly, girly, froufrou, blingy, sparkly items from the very beginning, we somehow ended up with a child who is all about the pink girly bling.I am not kidding. The girl wears frilly tutus and rubber boots to the barn! She does have her ears pierced, though I have never (until recently) … [Read more...]

I … [Read more...]
Help with Hair Woes for Big Events! @LavishDream
There once was a time when my hair was shiny, straight, and healthy. I remember being ten years old and walking into the health store where we bought our vitamins, and the lady working there commented on how shiny my jet black hair was!That didn't last long. High school came around and I dyed, bleached, permed, crimped, and pretty much tortured my hair! Then there was a period … [Read more...]
Lavish Dream
I have a secret. I've always been jealous of women with lots of thick, voluminous hair. Mine is straight, flat, thin, and fine. Even if I spend hours trying to get volume by using product, velcro rollers, big round brushes, and a hairdryer, my hair only ends up flat again within an hour or so. Yes, my friends. I have hair envy.Hair really does change a person's look and the … [Read more...]
Nickelodeon’s Winx Club Fairies {Review & Giveaway}
I have to admit that I'm not a "girly girl". I've never been a pink kinda girl and I'm not about the bling and all things frou-frou shi-shi. This would be why it surprises me that my 3 year old absolutely loves all things pink, pretty, shiny, sparkly, and girly. She's all about the bling. The shinier, the better. She's all about everything pink or purple. Lately, she's been all … [Read more...]
