VICKI TRIES; Swim Suit Modelling

“You’re so brave” people sometimes say when I tell them I’m going to the beach. I think it meant to be a compliment but in reality it’s not. It implies that someone with my body type would need to have…

Oh hi there!

Vicki feels kind of ridiculous talking about herself in the third person as if she isn't the one writing this. She already feels weird when people call her an influencer, please don't make her write her own bio too.

#NEWPOST: If you're on skincare TikTok there is a #NEWPOST: If you're on skincare TikTok there is a chance you've seen tiger grass products as the new star ingredient that is a must try to minimize redness and aid in repair, but what is tiger grass? The actual name is cica and the plant gets the name "tiger grass" because tigers in Indian have been observed to use this plant to heal their trauma wounds and infections by rolling in the plant after scuffles. In skincare it helps treat rosacea, eczema, acne and repair minor tears! 🐅🌾

@thefaceshopcanada recently sent me their cica line from K-beauty skincare brand, Dr. Belmeur for me to try it myself. Head to the link in my profile to read more plus check out some before and after pics.

For real though, watching y'all do the #bussitchallenge - you go from stunning to drop dead and your makeup is transformative. I look the same with or without makeup... the only difference is having sparkly eyelids and lashes. Someone teach me how these Gen Z kids do their makeup.

When it comes to resolutions there are some that I When it comes to resolutions there are some that I continue year after year. With every purchase I make I try to be a more educated and conscious consumer. In an ideal world I would be able to resist clothing all together or be able to find my heart's desire second hand but alas, sometimes new is the way to go.

While I love writing specialty round-ups and tips for curating a more mindful closet those blog posts can get a bit wordy so I wanted to create a new page on my site, a guide with a list of brands sorted by category. Right now the legend only denotes which brands are Canadian but in the future I hope to add more markers such as brands that are certified B corp, carry plus sizes and whatever else you might be interested in knowing when making purchasing decisions.

Link in the bio. Let me know what ethical brands you love and I'll add it to my list. 🤍
I love NYE and I’m super bummed that I don’t g I love NYE and I’m super bummed that I don’t get to celebrate with my friends in person this year but I recognize that this year things are a bit different. When I think of what it is I love about NYE it’s always the shared optimism. Whether you’re leaving a shitty year behind or had the best year to date, NYE everyone dreams of bigger and better things in the new year. 

If all you did in 2020 is get to December 31 you’re doing great. Here’s to being able to hold babies, hug friends, share drinks & all touching tongues again in 2021. 🥳

(Also if it weren’t for the pandemic, this is probably something I would wear to ring in the new year with my pals and because it makes my boobs look fantastic. Instead I’ll be in an oversized hoodie playing Among Us with literally anyone who’s down to play.)

Thank you for being responsible & for prioritizing your own health & that of others. Do things you love doing this week. Next year will be better. 💜

Stay safe & happy holidays. 📸: @styleisstyle
