VICKI TRIES; CoolSculpting at Dermapure w/ Giveaway

When it comes to a sculpted face, there’s little I would not try to get that snatched jawline. Whether it’s adding the illusion with contouring to various skincare tools, such as face cupping or NuFace, my quest for definition is…

VICKI TRIES; Theragun Elite

Every day I wake up and go through my stretches and lately it sounds like I’m taking a screenshot with my body because everything is like Rice Krispies – snap, crackle and pop. My hips and shoulders make a god…

VICKI TRIES; At-Home Microcurrent Facial Toning

First it was trying microdermbrasion, now it’s microcurrents. I am laughing at the first sentence of my microdermabrasion post about being on day 11 of self-isolation and feeling cooped up. Like girl, you don’t even know how drastic it’s about…

VICKI TRIES; At Home Dermaplane

First off, the idea of a straight razor near by face gives me major Sweeney Todd vibes. But nonetheless, here I am, shaving my face for a blog review. I was recently gifted the Finishing Touch Flawless Dermaplane tool to…

VICKI TRIES; Frank and Oak Style Plan

VICKI TRIES; At-Home Microdermabrasion

How’s self-isolation going? At the time of writing this (March 25) I am on day 11 and I am somehow at two extremes at the same time. On one end, my days are going by faster and I am feeling…

VICKI TRIES; Solius

Okay, I get it. This contraption looks like a super high-tech stand up tanning bed, but I swear it’s so much better than that. I wasn’t really sure what to expect when I was invited to check out the SoliusĀ machine…

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…

I feel like I have to put a big disclaimer note on this as well, obviously I’m grateful to be gifted a lot of really cool items, but that doesn’t mean that every single thing I get is wanted or useful and I love to pass things along to friends and family or donate where appropriate. 

Maybe I do a part two where I share actual merch I found useful and still use.
Do you know what fair trade means? Fair wages, s Do you know what fair trade means? 

Fair wages, safer working conditions, and putting people before profits because a good deal shouldn’t come at someone else’s expense. 

As we approach the holiday season, supporting ethical, sustainable and Canadian businesses is more important than ever. And while there’s no such thing as perfect consumption, we can be more intentional about where our money goes.

57 men in the group chat, and we’re all only finding out two years later because Jane Doe filed a civil lawsuit.

I think when stories like this make national headlines, it can create the illusion that they’re shocking because they’re rare. That this is something that happens at some fraternity, at some university, in some city you’ve never been to.

But shit like this happens all the time in our own cities. 

I’m sharing one of many stories I could tell that should make your blood boil. And trust and believe, most women have their own version of these stories too.

A few things I also forgot to mention: the brand offers sizes 2XS to 3XL, it’s based right here in Vancouver, like their undies the Softwear is available with bundle and save options.

Listen, I always have these grand plans to vlog bu Listen, I always have these grand plans to vlog but after a few hours, I either forget or my phone dies or both. So it was meant to be a weekend vlog is now a Saturday morning vlog.

Sooooo, *annoying influencer voice* come with me…
1ļøāƒ£ spent my morning with @holtrenfrew at their k-beauty pop-up where I learned that @rebekah.ho can’t count to seven
2ļøāƒ£ tried the pecan pie latte at @slocoffee_ , my first fall season drink of the year. I liked it, flavour was subtle and not to sweet
3ļøāƒ£ went to @nettlestaleshop to try on @ratboi , a new brand for the shop! Loved this polka dot set but it wasn’t quite my size so I ended up passing on it.
4ļøāƒ£ lunch at @nubatown , still one of my all time faves 
5ļøāƒ£ went for an upper body focused massaged with Andi at @solamassagestudio — so I never get massages because I have a hard time relaxing and I’m very ticklish. Andi has created such a relaxing environment. I even fell asleep. This massage was heaven and while I was sore the day after, the day after that I felt great.

Taking bets now on whether or not I ever do this again.
