I love to shop. Yes, I should get this tattooed on my body, but that would be tacky. Instead, I'll just write about my obsession here, where more people can read my words.
I am Addicted to Online Shopping
I Took A Walk On The Wild Side. And Now I'm Paying For It. Literally.
by: Loukia Zigoumis
I love shopping. I love vacations. I love my children, and my family, and drinking wine, and late-night chats, and dinner out with my friends. I love reading, and my favourite TV shows. I love movies, and especially movie popcorn. I do not, however, love cooking. Or baking. Me in the kitchen? Not pretty. I would probably go viral on YouTube if I ever had someone record me handling raw poultry. Or if someone saw me trying to take a metal pan out of the oven without an oven mitt. (Yes, I've done this.
Happy 2012, everyone!
Here we are, at the beginning of a new year. There are still quite a few months before the end of the world, so instead of talking about that, let's talk about something more fun!
Make-up in Five Minutes? Oh, Yes, You Can!
Getting ready and out the door in less than five minutes flat
by: Loukia Zigoumis
Remember the days when you could wake up at a 'normal' time, hop in the shower and take your sweet time getting ready? Yeah, it's a distant memory for me, too. Every since having children, the time I have to take care of myself had been reduced... drastically. I haven't taken a bubble bath in six years. My showers last three minutes, max. I haven't locked the bathroom door since I can't remember when.
I don't know about you, but I dream about having my own shopping assistant. I would love to have someone who calls me to tell me that the dress I've had my eyes on for weeks is finally on sale. I would love to have someone to do all of the hard work for me so all I have to do is show up to pay for all of the great deals. I'm a big-time shopper, but I also like to think I'm pretty wise when I shop, and like most people, I love a good bargain.
Now that it's November, there is no denying it. Summer is indeed behind us, and winter is here. Although I'm not one to fully embrace winter and the cold that comes with it, I do have a thing for winter clothes... from the boots to the tights to the sweaters, and, of course, the coats.
Tommee Tippee: Simply Intuitive Baby Products

Last week, I was invited to attend the Tommee Tippee launch in New York City. I left with a serious case of baby fever, and was reminded of how much I just love NYC!
Tommee Tippee, in case you don't know, is the number one brand of infant and toddler products in Great Britain, and is now in stores across North America, soon to be a number-one hit with moms here too, no doubt. My best friend has already stocked up on everything Tommee Tippee for her youngest baby!

A few weeks ago I was featured in The Ottawa Citizen as one of six of the city's top fashion bloggers. This was a huge honour for me, especially because I was in such good company with women I think are quite fashionable in the nation's capital.
