Spokes is the biggest and longest running (since 1938) bike rental that Vancouver has… Check out their website http://www.vancouverbikerental.com, or give them a call 604.688.5141 if you want to enjoy your [...]
On June 6, my best friend/roommate Tina and I collaborated with photographer Lloyd K. Barnes to create a beach photoshoot at English Bay. I did my own makeup and Tina helped me poof my hair up a lot with massive amounts of Sebastion shaper plus Hairspray. I did Tina’s makeup with all MAC products, and we didn’t really do her [...]
I recently did the makeup for one of Vancouver’s local up and coming stars, DJ Audy for her exclusive photoshoot with photographer Andy Fang, and interview with Vancouver Hype magazine… CHECK IT OUT!! Get ready for her next major gig on July 18th…
This is a very exciting year for me, ever since I moved right across the street from the beach at English Bay. I remember when I was a little girl I would be a loyal spectator of the “Symphony of Fire” fireworks display at English Bay, making sure I wouldn’t miss any of the 4 days. Sometimes I would go extra [...]

Another photoshoot with photographer Lloyd K. Barnes…. Model Tracy. This time I did makeup inspired by a picture of Koda Kumi… I did a lot of focus on the eyes, with bright hot pink blush (as an eyeshadow) called Azalea from MAC. I used extra long lashes and extra thick cake eyeliner for an edgy finish. [...]
This past Saturday afternoon my wonderful bf decided to treat me to a visit at the Vancouver Aquarium. First off, Saturday’s are a very busy day to go to Stanley Park’s Vancouver Aquarium… The line ups for admission were abnormally long, and we were probably one of the very few people without children accompanying us. [...]
This past weekend made me realize how strong the sun really is. Everyone who joined us on the Private Island Cottage ended up getting a burn of some kind. It was cloudy on the first day that we went kayaking, fooling us into believing that we weren’t getting any sun. We spent most of the [...]
Top 10 Bikini websites: I have always had an unusual love for “THE BIKINI” and since I JUST moved across the street from the Beach, I will definately get more use out of my 40+ bikini’s!! My readers always ask me where I get my bikini’s so I thought I’d put together a list of my favourite bikini [...]
…Another fun Makeup photo shoot with Lloyd K. Barnes photography… This time with model Candy for a Geisha-Girl theme… We started the makeup at my apartment and took some before AND during makeup shots, so we can see the difference when the makeup was complete. I began Candy’s makeup by spraying her entire clean face with a [...]
This morning I woke up at an unusually early time for me. My phone alarm went off at 5am. The model Michelle, and the photographer, Lloyd didn’t get to my apartment until about 5:20am (thank goodness for the snooze option) and I promptly started on her makeup when they arrived. Her luminescent dress for the shoot [...]
My alarm woke us up earlier than usual on this grey Sunday morning. We made sure to eat our Wheetabix cereal with raspberries to prepare us for what was coming. The 9am start time for the 25th Annual Vancouver Sun Run made my boyfriend and I a little uneasy, but we left my apartment just in time to [...]
Went for a wonderful bike ride around downtown Vancouver, and then ended up doing the entire seawall in the evening after work. It was gorgeous and I couldn’t help but stop and take photos with my blackberry from time to time like a tourist. What can I say? We live in one of the most [...]
I have officially moved locations from Burnaby to English Bay… It took us ALL DAY to get everything together, and after a few complications along the way, (like our huge couch not fitting in our apartment door and us having to exchange it for another love seat, me having the stomach flu, and me forgetting [...]
After only a week or so of hard core searching, my best friend and roommate, Tina and I finally found our dream place on the beach… Beach Avenue that is! We move in on the 13th of March, and we’re definitely a little more than excited!! From now on every time we walk out of [...]
Is it March in 10 days?? Wow. The house that my 4 girlfriends and I have been renting out for the past 8 months looks like it’s coming to the END. 2 of the girls found a condo in Port Moody, and myself and Tina are planning on moving to the West End of Vancouver [...]
Tina and I went apartment hunting on the West End of Vancouver this morning… First place turned out to be a DUMP, I even tried to picture myself living there, but it didn’t work. 2nd place was AMAZING and well over our price range… Although the view was incredible and the bright open spaces were [...]
