To give you an idea of how this came to be I think it's only right to share a little bit about myself. I am in my late twenties (EEK) and living in the Niagara Region of Ontario. I have a gorgeous, smart and funny daughter (from a previous relationship) and the most amazing boyfriend a girl could have. I try to live a healthy lifestyle by frequenting the local gym on a daily basis, eating appropriately and keeping up on the latest health and fitness news. That's not to say that I won't pass up pizza and wings on a Friday nite with the family! I have a major weakness for an amazing pair of shoes and my blood pressure might increase at the sight of a 50% off sign at any of my favourite stores.
I'm a mom who swore from the moment I got pregnant that I wouldn't let myself go. I made the commitment to maintain a sense of style and keep up with my beauty regimen. Even it it means making silly faces in the mirror with my girl while doing my makeup and trading designer trends for less expensive versions. At least I can walk out of the house feeling good about myself as a woman, fashionista and most importantly a mother! I am a woman who genuinely has a heart for fashion as an art form and a way of connecting with each other.
I have also always loved writing and used it as an outlet in which to vent, think and evaluate my life. I write when I'm happy, when I'm sad, when I'm indifferent. It's a big part of who I am.
This blog meshes all of my passions together. It is my take on the world of fashion, my day-to-day life as a mom who tries to maintain her sense of style, my passion for health and fitness, and my highs and lows of this crazy life. It's my way of expressing who I am and hoping some of you can relate.
