Acloset App Review – Would you let AI dress you?

4 Comments

Have you ever heard of decision fatigue? It boils down to the more decisions you make throughout the day, the worse they become because we only come with a finite amount of good decisions. It’s why Steve Jobs has a work uniform (the famous black turtleneck sweater) so he doesn’t need to decide what to wear every morning. When I embarked on my fashion journey, I found it overwhelming to mix and match items (it also didn’t help that my closet used to be filled with trendy pieces instead of staples) which resulted in me wearing very similar outfits multiple times. And since I felt I had nothing to wear, I always felt this inclination to shop. One day, I…

Big Feet Reflexology Review (Kingsway, Vancouver Location)

1 Comment

For my 30th birthday, Dan treated me to a session of feet reflexology at Big Feet (Kingsway location) after I went on and on about how much I wanted to try a session. I’ve had short foot massages in the past and always found them to be relaxing and I knew of an acquaintance who swears by Big Feet massages so you can say I was very much intrigued with this franchise. What exactly is reflexology? According to Big Feet,  Reflexology is a therapy in which pressure is applied to reflex points on the hands, feet, and ears.It is based on the principle that these reflex points are related to the internal organs and glands, and are laid out in…

Obe Fitness Review

No Comments

I first learned about Obe Fitness when my Instagram was being flooded with their fun, bright and catchy ads boasting over 100+ live classes and on-demand classes from barre, to dance cardio. At that time, I chose to skip Obe Fitness because I was a dedicated Pure Barre fan and found my go-to workout. Plus, I already had ClassPass to give me my fix of gyms and weights. Being in an environment outside of my living room makes exercising very easy. To say, I hate home workouts. But, the pandemic hit and my city went into lockdown. I still had my full-time job but my attitude towards online barre classes changed and I didn’t feel like it was worth paying…

Fossil Haul Review

1 Comment

I recently went on a little shopping spree on Fossil’s website because they had a massive sale… on top of their sale! It was an additional 40% off on their sales/clearance prices so a lot of their inventory was very affordable. For those who don’t know, Fossil is a well-known retailer of affordable and nice watches in Canada and the US. What many don’t realize is that Fossil has a great selection of leather bags for women and men and their quality and designs are fantastic. Honestly, one leather bag from Fossil can last you a decade, even if you are someone that tosses bags around like there’s no tomorrow. I believe the famous leather guy on TikTok, the one…

Product Review: Rowenta X-cel Pocket Steamer

No Comments

I fell into the linen craze this summer and purchased 5 linen dresses. What I love about linen clothes is two things: Unfortunately, my linen dresses came out extremely wrinkly from the dryer and when I put one on, I felt instantly embarrassed and knew there was no way to leave the house wearing a wrinkly dress. Sometimes, I used to change an entire outfit because of how wrinkly my t-shirt looked!  I knew right away that an iron or steamer was needed to remedy this issue, and the truth is, wearing crisp clothes does make or break an entire outfit. I had a cheap iron that I left at my mom’s place when I moved out and when I…

Monthly Reads | June 2023

No Comments

New segment alert! I absolutely love reading but writing dedicated review posts for every single book I read is not my forte. I figured a monthly round-up is the way to go with brief reviews of the book!All links directs to Goodreads. Artificial Condition (The Murderbot Diaries #2) by Martha Wells Rating: 3/5. An average follow-up to the 1st installment and not as exciting as the 1st. I found it lost a lot of good opportunities for a surprise plot twist, or to create an eerie feeling when reading some of the scenes (especially during the tunnels!). I wasn’t a fan of the plot where Murderbot had to help a bunch of young adults and overall lacked a good storyline…
