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 [...]

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 [...]

…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 [...]
