It seems that my feet don't like heels anymore and neither does my back.  So, I've been trying to find ways to incorporate flats and comfort into my everyday style.

Face Mapping for Better Skin, FaceMap Our Nation

Dermalogica FaceMap Our Nation, Beauty, Skin Care, Clear skin
Dermalogica has just launched their Face Map our Nation nationwide campaign here in Canada. To reach out and educate Canadians about their skin. Face Mapping combines Chinese diagnosis techniques to help clients narrow down the causes of  their skin issues by treating the root causes rather than just the symptoms. The skin is the largest and fastest growing organ of the body and it's inevitable that it would eventually reflect signs of internal stresses that the body is constantly experiencing.

Please excuse my short absence from the blog. Life has been so hectic and I needed some time to catch up on some school work! However, I did manage to get out and about to do some errands before the weather cooled down.

Although, I do love my simple, monochromatic, and minimal looks. I also love wearing vibrant colors, patterns, and prints especially in the spring and summer months.

The Cargo Jogger Pant, Part 1

How nice would it be to have the luxury of being able to dress up and having some place special to go to everyday. Unfortunately, I don't really have that luxury. I also prefer being comfortable and having the freedom to move quickly around town without being limited by what I'm wearing. However, I have also never been one to ever leave the house in pj bottoms, sweat suits or joggers until now.
