One of the drawbacks about writing a blog is the brevity used in order to deliver interesting information quickly. When I first starting writing for YMC, Erica advised me to try to use less language. Basically, if I didn’t need to use a word I shouldn’t. After spending years of doing long form writing I found this new short form very challenging. How could I possibly impart all the critical information in 400 words or less. Well I am very happy to say I did get good at it – as you can observe from my posts.

Autumn is here!

The “New Year” of fashion and make up has arrived. New looks, new designs and new approaches towards image and style means it is time for my semi annual tour across Canada showcasing how you can achieve all the desired trends and incorporate them into your daily regimes of beauty and fashion.

I love this time of year and meeting all the women who have asked me questions about skincare, make up and trends.

Recently, I was asked if spending extra money on designer nail polish was worth the expense.

I have two thoughts about this –

1. if the concern is about the formula, there is no reason to spend extra money as most nail polish is made from the same ingredients 

2. if the concern is trendy colours, then yes, buying a designer polish is ok since they are often the fashion trend setters

It is best to decide what the primary need for the polish is and go from there.
