How Powder Room D Wigs are Saving my Hair
As a hairdresser, you would think I’d listen to my own advice: don’t bleach it too much, use treatments between each lightening process, use thermal protectant, don’t use super hot water, etc… Unfortunately, I’m stubborn and didn’t listen. As a result, my hair is fried to shit. (Okay, it’s not THAT bad…but it’s bad.) Let’s go back to last year this time when I had beautiful, healthy … Continue reading How Powder Room D Wigs are Saving my Hair
Curing the Winter Blues
When you live in this province, the ultimate Winter plans are typically made on the west coast, right? So, we planned a trip to the west coast. When trying to find accommodations, however, we discovered our little road trip was scheduled during the exact same time as the National Special Olympics, and everything was booked solid in Deer Lake and Corner Brook. Super bad timing … Continue reading Curing the Winter Blues
Mixing Prints in a Small Town
Say what you will about rural towns here in this province–but they make for lovely backgrounds when taking beauty and fashion photos. I know, neither ‘beauty’ nor ‘fashion’ is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear “rural Newfoundland”. But we’re trying, folks. Welcome to the lives of Jess and Jana, haha! We were shooting some looks for Retro & Rebel today, and … Continue reading Mixing Prints in a Small Town
Local Love for Indigena Skincare
We wanted to title this post “Putting Newfoundland Berries on Yer Face Feels Amazing”, but we didn’t want to give the wrong impression. Natural beauty products are brilliant anyways-but when they’re made locally from local ingredients?! YES, PLEASE. Needless to say, we were pumped to try products from NL’s own Indigena Skincare. A quick browse through the brand’s online site reveals lots of good stuff: … Continue reading Local Love for Indigena Skincare
The Cake Necklace We Have (But We Wanna Eat it, Too)
Holidays and Birthdays are perfect occasions to pass along subtle hints for adorable things you’ve had your eye on. Sometimes, though, the hints are not so subtle. Actually, we’ll let you decide whether Jess pulling up an Instagram account and saying “I’d really like one of her pieces for Christmas” was subtle or not. Or how about when the last week of November rolled around … Continue reading The Cake Necklace We Have (But We Wanna Eat it, Too)
Top 10 Blue Lipsticks
If you know me at all, you know that blue is the color on my lips 50% of the time. That leaves 10% for greens, 10% for grays, 10% for purples and 20% for the rest. If you don’t know me, Hi! I’m Jess! And I actually have a blue lipstick addiction. I don’t remember the very first time I wore a blue lipstick, but I … Continue reading Top 10 Blue Lipsticks
Healthy New Year + Saje
The start of a new year is always a good time to think about being healthy. (Thinking and acting, however, are two completely different things, haha). But, whenever there’s a chance to be healthy naturally, we try to take it. Back in November, Jess and I were given a chance to try Saje Wellness products for the first time–it was right around their St. John’s … Continue reading Healthy New Year + Saje
London Called…We Must Go
For those of us here in Newfoundland & Labrador, Westjet has really been on a roll lately. Especially if you live close to St. John’s. A couple years ago, the airline introduced a direct flight from St. John’s to Dublin–GENIUS. (Read our post about it here). 4.5 hours later, you’re in Ireland. Plus, they introduced the new flight at a ridiculously low price–I think we … Continue reading London Called…We Must Go
Screaming for Poutine in Montréal
So that title isn’t entirely true. I’m thinking about it, though, and we actually did quite a bit of screaming while in Montreal. We screamed while watching every Blue Jays game. We screamed at the Bell Centre watching our Leafs play (ie. lose to) the Habs. And we screamed some more at the Dear Rouge show. Mind you, we also chowed down at one of … Continue reading Screaming for Poutine in Montréal
Maybe Downtown is Best.
We booked this current trip to Montreal a couple months ago. When we realized Boston would be a five-hour drive away, we decided to rent a car for a couple days and spent a night in the States. We only booked a single night in Boston. Yeah, don’t do what we did. And, for the sake of saving a couple hundred dollars, we booked a hotel … Continue reading Maybe Downtown is Best.
