LIFESTYLE | Six on Saturday - Flowers, Watches, Dior and more Flowers!

I have not done one of these in awhile and because I missed Friday, it means I get to do Six on Saturday! What I like about these posts are that it jogs my memory about what the last two weeks have been like as well as teaches me to be appreciative of what has happened in my life because a lot of the time, life moves way too fast!

ONE: Whenever a client says they are thankful for the service I have provided them with, it always makes me smile, but when they add in a little something special like flowers, it's really extra special. These were hand-delivered to the store and I had no idea who would have sent me flowers because it's not like it happens every day and then of course, the pessimist in me thinks it's a stalker! Thankfully, that was not the case and I got to enjoy these beautiful orchids in my office for the next week as my cats would have eaten them had I brought them home!

MAKEUP | LYS Triple Fix Serum Skin Tint Foundation Stick

Purchased by me

Though I don't play around with makeup as much as I used to, foundation is the one thing I am always tempted by even though I feel like there is nothing I haven't tried at this point! I first started seeing LYS Beauty while we were in the midst of the pandemic and looking for more BIPOC brands. 

EMPTIES | April 2026 (Where Finishing a NARS Blush Took 6 Months!)

Coming at this a little bit later than I had wanted, but OMG has it been a busy last 3 weeks! There has just been a lot going on at work with my day job with events and helping with a new store opening so I have been trying to pack as much as I can into my work day and then coming home a total zombie. I have a few vacation days booked this week so I am hoping to recoup some energy and rest as the week AFTER is going to be really hectic again as I will be working out of a the new Chaumet at Oakridge for the week for their opening!

# Skincare = 6

Favourites from this pile were the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen which I had amazingly never tried before and the Pacifica Sea Foam Complete Face Wash which was one of the nicest foaming face washes I have ever used! The Tata Harper Regnerating Cleanser has been a favourite of mine since I worked for the brand in 2015 and I always repurchase it whenever there is a sale on the Tata Harper website since you get waaaay more GWPs there compared to Sephora.

FASHION | Tieks by Gavrieli Leopard Print Edition

Press sample

I only have a handful of fashion reviews on the blog so it does take something fairly interesting for me to share it with you all here and the Tieks Ballet Flats are it!

SHEET MASK | SEPHORA COLLECTION Transformation Glow Face Mask with Vitamin C

Purchased by me

Happy first Sunday of May! At a glorious 22 degrees Celsius, we are well on our way to summer here in Vancouver and I only wish it would stay at this temperature as this is the most I can comfortably handle, but we are apparently in for a hot and dry summer this year so ugh. I am starting off this month with a brand new Sephora Collection mask that I picked up during the Sephora VIB sale and yes, I am still Rouge despite my beauty purchasing cutbacks. Granted, I am basically making the $1000 cut-off always during the November event instead of before where I was pretty much making it twice over by July! 

FRAGRANCE | Dior Addict Peachy, Purple and Rosy Glow EDP

 

Purchased by me (I feel like 90% of things are purchased by me at this point, but I guess for consistency?)

I have been on a total fragrance kick the last two years and though I normally find many of Dior's fragrances to be on the more serious side, when I saw the notes and packaging for the new Dior Addict EDPs, I was delighted to see something lighter and more fruity for the Spring and Summer season!
