Why am I so cool? It’s hard to say- I guess I ju Why am I so cool? It’s hard to say- I guess I just have a certain je ne sais quoi. But yes, the brilliant sunglasses help. @specsaversca #viviennewestwood #aroundthehouse #sunglassses #coolglasses #oldster #oldsterchic #prescriptionglasses #plaid #plaidtrend #fashionaccessories #toronto
Confused by too much colour choice? Not sure how t Confused by too much colour choice? Not sure how to pick the "perfect colour" for the walls? Need some solid advice, and a little expert guidance? I've got you covered. Everybody knows @leighannallaire is a top-notch source on these topics, and she's someone I have a lot of personal respect for, so I was excited to interview her about Colour Spark, a new, limited-colour paint line from @rustoleumca that she collaborated with the brand on. Hope you'll check out the piece, in which I show pics of the palette (Spoiler: I LOVE it) and share some of Leigh-Ann's considerable colour wisdom. #paint #interiorpaint #realdeal #curatedcollection #respectwomenexperts #paireddownpalette #perfectneutrels #interiordesign #decor #design #paintcolor #paintcolour #RustOleum #paintexpert #colourpyschology #makeover #DIY #cantgowrongcolour #notfakenews

The dreamy colours in the Shoreline blanket from @ The dreamy colours in the Shoreline blanket from @topsyfarms, designed by @lizpead, were already making me swoon. Then I had a nap and dreamed that @suzannedimma was designing a blanket for them too.

Try as I might, I never met a “natural” deodor Try as I might, I never met a “natural” deodorant that was quite as effective or long-lasting as the chemical-laden version from the drugstore. So I stuck with them. But the cream deodorant from @crawfordskincare is the first one that made me consider switching long term. At first I thought rubbing the cream under my arms was a time-waster and a hassle for busy, busy, busy me. After a few days, though, I began to get into the ritual of massaging this rich cream-with its fragrant, soothing oils- into my body. The scent gives me an immediate lift and when I wash my hands afterwards, they feel smooth and soft. It soon became a lovely, tiny, private moment in the day. Did I have to repeat the process once or twice during the days in which we had extreme heat? Yes I did. But doing so was enjoyable and refreshing. Did I have to wash under my arms sometimes in between every-other-day showers? Yes I did. But I became convinced that spending a few minutes a day washing myself with a good soap and a fluffy washcloth is also a small but potent pleasure. Overall, did I end up devoting a little more me-time to each day washing and nourishing my body with healthy, fragrant waxes, oils, butters and flower waters? Yes I did - to my not-so-secret delight. You know who wants you to give up simple moments in return for the swipe of a greasy stick full of who-knows-what? The Patriarchy, that’s who. It wants you to think that every smell that comes from every orifice, every surface of yourself shall not, will not, be borne. And it certainly doesn’t want you to connect throughout the day to that body, and care for it in little, non-judgey, healthy ways. It wants your body to be an enemy, an alien, to itself. That way, it can sell you more stuff to fight yourself with. Burn it all down, bb. Maybe start by reclaiming your armpits. So simple, so pleasant. #downwiththepatriarchy #naturaldeodorant #selfcare #smallpleasures #aroundthehouse #skincare #essentialoils #summerselfcare

By way of a happy Friday to my millions and millio By way of a happy Friday to my millions and millions of readers around the globe, a teeny corner of the refreshed employee lounge at ATH world headquarters. Initial employee feedback is 100 per cent positive! Watch for your invite to the official unveiling-it’s coming soon. In the meantime, a very practical storage box from @rona.ca looks awfully pretty, don’t you think, with the classic matte black urn (also from Rona, probably a decade ago). Enamoured too with outdoor seating from @burrow. Handsome from behind, no? #aroundthehouse #terracemakeover #outdoorseating #modularfurniture #modulargardenfurniture #gardendesign #gardenfurniture #gardenstorage #weekend #comfortableoutdoorseating #suppliedproduct
Asylum seekers are being left out on the streets o Asylum seekers are being left out on the streets of Toronto in driving rain and punishing heat while municipal and federal governments fight about who funds their basic human rights and needs. I hope others will join me in demanding immediate action from Toronto city councillors and GTA MPs. In the meantime, please also consider donating, if you can, to a grassroot effort to help. https://gofund.me/0fd081c6 #toronto #asylum #humanrights #housing #shelter #torontoshelterstandards
