Hi wonderful you,
I have finally found my perfect go-to salad for the Summer!
About 2 months ago, while visiting my parents, I made a salad and a spur of the moment salad dressing to go with it. Immediately, my dad commented that the salad was delicious and different from his usual dressing. It surprised me and made me very happy as he is a typical meat and potato kind of man. At that moment, I knew I had a winner and voilà, it became my new favorite salad.

About a month ago I had an interesting conversation.
It was fashion revolution week and I was looking for new reading/listening material that would inspire me for future blog posts. I happened to find a lot of books that talked about the high cost of fashion, fast fashion and what really goes on behind the scenes. My brother who is living a minimalist lifestyle, which includes his limited wardrobe (do I really need 10 t-shirts when I can only wear 2?). After all, we know that very creative entrepreneurs, hum hum, Mark Zuckerberg and the late Steve Jobs kept wearing the same basic outfit (basic t-shirt or turtleneck with jeans). During our conversation, my brother mentioned that he had read that the fashion industry was one of the most polluted industries.
YIKES !
Being that I like to think that I am very eco-conscious, I recycle like crazy, try to eat clean food, try to shop more locally, I donate to Greenpeace efforts and support other environmentally friendly ways of living, this notion was nevertheless a little shocking.
I thought okay, how can someone that loves fashion adapt it’s closet to a more minimalist way of living without losing it’s colorful style?
In other words: « How can I apply this perspective to fashion without losing the fashion??? »
It may sound contradictory yet I had an Ah ha! moment that finds a way to combine both in a simple way.
2 CommentsMother’s Day is just around the corner and I have been thinking of what a mother, being a mother myself, would really appreciate or need.
So forget about scented candles, silk pyjamas, perfume or any other classic mother’s day gifts. I decided to make a new kind of list that is more modern, yet has some really helpful and time saving gifts. After all, I often hear mother’s say that they don’t have enough time to make time for themselves.

I initially thought to do another Valentine’s post but something kept telling me to write about how to be more positive, happier and overall to feel better about ourselves in the midst of these cold and often sunnyless days. After all, it usually makes it more challenging to have good energy. If you do live in a sunny area, lucky you, but you might also have some bad days where you are your own worst critic.
Why me? I’m no expert on the subject. Well no, but I am one of those individuals that tend to naturally look on the bright side of things, even during hardships. In high school, I was even named the most positive person in our class, haha!
But seriously, like anyone else, we all have our ups and downs and sometimes the downs can feel like they will never end. I have had many of these days, winters being the worst for me. However, recently I have noticed how some of the things I did helped to change my mood dramatically. So I really wanted to share these tips with all of you today.
