Have a fantastic day lovelies!

Are you a Sephora Insider?

Well you should be! Why? I have five great reasons:
#1. Because you would have received a $15-$20 off your next purchase gift card! Pretty amazing eh? Well, the only catch was I had to spend $40 to get $20 off but still, half price is pretty amazing! What did I buy? Well, you will have to wait and see during my FIRST EVER YOUTUBE BLOG REVIEW sometime during this week!

#2. They let you know about a million great deals and now that there is a store located right here in Victoria you can get tons of free stuff! I can't even count how many times they would send me a UPC for a free gift when we didn't have one here! I would always have to try to get someone in Vancouver to pick it up for me. It has taken the Victoria store awhile to get up to speed since they have just opened but by next year they should have all the free products in stock so first come first serve.

#3: Another great reason to join is so that you can get a FREE BIRTHDAY GIFT! That's right! Two years ago I received 3 free deluxe trial sized Sephora lip glosses! And last year I received a silver eyeshadow, mascara and mini silver eyeliner!

Great reason # 4: You get points that go towards amazing products! You receive 1 point for every dollar you spend so when you spend $100 you can pick a deluxed sized sample! And if you save up and reach 500, then you get a deluxe sampler package. Last time I got a smashbox lipgloss, mascara, facial primer and eye primer all in one cute package. Awesome deal!

#5: If you spend over $350 in one fiscal year you become a VIB for the rest of that year and the next year! What is VIB status? Very Important Beauty Status! First of all, you are given a 10% off your next purchase coupon, then around Xmas time you are given a 20% off coupon for one week to use however many times you want, then instead of getting a $15 Gift card you get a $20 one! And finally, you get tons of free deluxe samples and an even better birthday gift, invitations to special events, early access to products that have not-yet been released, exclusive gifts throughout the year and more!

So DO IT! And don't forget to enter our December Contest!

Ahhhh-Mazing!

Looking for something amazing to get your loved one for Xmas? Need a reward for all your hard work this year? Look no further!
I just came back from the most tranquil spa experience I have ever had!

Ashlee Kazenbroot at Sanctum Holistics Clinic & Education Centre helped me find my centre after a very hectic year. 

The appointment started with a few general questions about my skin, health, and what kind of treatment I wanted. I opted for a Swedish Massage complete with a Facial treatment. Throughout the interview, Ashlee's voice was so calming that I could immediately feel my muscles relaxing.

If you know me well, then you know how uptight I am and it is next to impossible to get me to relax for more than three minutes. However, every time I have a treatment with Ashlee I am quiet and calm within five minute and don't make a peep the entire time (FYI the treatment was approximately 2 hours). 

Ashlee was very professional throughout the entire treatment and spent lots of time on each part of my body--from my head, to my neck, back, legs, fingers, and toes. While candles flickered during my treatment, I could hear the wind blowing outside and I felt so peaceful and safe in her soothing treatment room. 

The Facial was remarkable. Ashlee started off by cleansing my face and applying a warm cloth on top in order to open my pores. During this time, she gave me a incredible arm and hand massages. After that, she applied a facial scrub, and again, as she let it set in, she bequeathed on me an amazing pressure-point upper-chest massage. To end it, she finished with a facial mask made specifically for my skin type and bestowed on me an invigorating yet gentle neck massage.

At no time did a squirm from discomfort--Ashlee has truly angelic hands. 

If this sounds like something you are interested in or know someone else who might be, check out Ashlee's Facebook group or visit the Sanctum website. Ashlee is happy to give out Gift Cards for those that may be interested. 

Her prices range from $45-$110. She specializes in Aromatherapy Massage, Shiatsu Massage, Thai Massage,  Swedish Massage, Hot & Cold Stone Massage (My Personal Favourite), Reflexology, Facials and Wraps & Exfoliation. 

Just got my nails done!

...And they look gorgeous!
The last time I got my nails done I was placed in a halogen lit room with a bunch of other ladies getting their nails done. The woman who was attending to me talked to her friend in the next booth the whole time! They weren't very gentle either and didn't seem to acknowledge my existence. But Alicia was NOTHING like that!
I had so much fun getting pampered by her! Alicia has just begun her new career as a nail artist and specializes in acrylic nails. On Sunday evening she invited me to her home and showed me to her 'office'.  It was so amazing to watch her build each nail out of powder and gel! When I first asked her to do my nails she asked me what colours I liked, and to my surprise, she had done up three personalized samples for me to choose from!
Alicia created every nail with care and attention to details. She was also great company and is a fantastic listener so don't hesitate to dish on your latest dramas! The only downside to the process is that it takes a long time to create acrylic nails so try not to make plans for right after! Her price list is as follows:
$30 - full set acrylics
$5 for extra glitter and nail art
$25 fill
$15 Nail removal
And from now until Jan.1 when you purchase a full set at regular price you receive your first fill 50% off!
To book your appointment call 250-508-3121 or contact her through her Facebook Group: Nails By Alicia.  She also has many photos available of previous work on her page so check it out!

CUSP Clothing in Victoria BC...

CUSP
102-561 Johnson Street, 
Victoria, BC
250-381-8614

One of my favourite ways to feel beautiful and confident is to wear something that is uniquely mine, and CUSP is a great place to find that item. Yesterday I visited my friend Alyssa's gorgeous downtown boutique. The store is locally owned and operated by Alyssa and Nicole. The boutique has beautiful handcrafted, one-of-a-kind jewelry and handbags made right here in Victoria! They also sell internationally renowned designers, such as LAMB by Gwen Stephani, Adriano Goldshmeid Jeans & Christopher Kon Handbags. Furthermore, they have an excellent selection of shoes, boots & heels by Dolce Vita, Miss Sixty, Fornarina & Sixty Seven. They have a lovely selection of coats, pants, shoes, tops and dresses but you must act fast and check back often because they only cary one item in a few sizes and then it's gone forever!

As soon as I entered the store I was overcome with the smell of Christmas- cider and cinnamon filled my nostrils and I was ready to shop. The two window displays at CUSP are stunning so check out my pictures below! Also, the artistry on the walls were decadent and the shop was nicely laid out with an upstairs and downstairs area.

The girls at CUSP are always happy to help you find just the right thing so don't be afraid to ask! The store is also conveniently open seven days a week. 


Currently, CUSP is apart of the Johnson Street Holiday Food Drive which continues on until December 29th. When you drop off a non-parashable item, you will be entered in a draw to win the Johnson Street Prize Pack worth over $1,000! So come down and show the love for Xmas!If you are interested in finding out more information, check out the CUSP website.
