What do you think about, creatively, when you’re designing your Fall Collection?
It’s never the same. I can’t control when I get an idea or am feeling creative. I just wait for those moments, whenever they are, and work off of them.
Where do you find inspiration?
All over. A lot of old books and movies, vintage clothing and art. Interiors.
What cities are on your travel bucket list?
Kenya is at the top of my list! Also, Lake Louise in Alberta.

Not at all. I always knew I would work in fashion, but truly never thought as a designer.
Background on your phone?
Favorite photo of me and my dad.
What are your go-to daily beauty products, and why?
Always start with the Pure Start cleanser, I love the gentle consistency and gets my skin ready for the day. Then I mix Vital Boost with Mara Universal Oil for my moisturizer and top with Saie Glowy Super Gel. Perfect combo for a natural glow.
Why is clean beauty important for you?
Not only are clean product better for you, but I have also found they work better for me/my skin as well.

Holiday parties are about to ramp up and you don’t want to arrive empty handed. A hostess/host gift goes along away and doesn’t have to break the bank. Taking a few extra minutes to wrap the gift in tissue and twine makes it extra special. Below are a few of our favorites options for every type of host!
Classic gift
A set of coasters is a classic gift that every house needs. Keep it festive this year with these gold etched CB2 coasters. Not only can they be used at the party but throughout the entire season.
A Gift for any Host
If you don’t know your hostess the safest gift is always a candle or bottle of bubbly. Our favorite candles this year are made by Tatine. These comes individually wrapped with a quote on each candle. For the bubbly, get festive with a bottle of Prosecco or if you’re feeling extra exotic bring Cava.
Outside of the box gift
There is no easy way around keeping the bathroom smelling fresh, especially when throwing a holiday party. Leave it to AESOP to create Post Poo drops. Aromatic, botanical, deodorizing drops not only smell terrific, but the packing is chic and discreet.
For the Outdoor Lover
Whether your host/hostess is a golfer, gardener or sun worshipper, a hand cream is always a good fit. The tops of the hands get dry, dehydrated and sun damaged. Hands to Heart is the perfect gift for a man or a woman.
The Gift of Sleep
Studies have shown a dark room is more conducive to a good night’s sleep. A silk eye mask is the perfect addition to anyones night time ritual. SLIP silk eye masks are available in a variety of colors and will satisfy the lightest sleeper’s eyes.
Claim: Sweating eliminates toxins, alcohol and pollution from your pores.
Fact: Toxins in the body are broken down by the liver buy levitra canada now and excreted in urine. But if you find saunas relaxing, then bake away—just be aware that all you’re sweating out is water, salt, protein, and nontoxic urea.
Claim: Sweating makes you break out.
Fact: Acne happens when sebum glands become clogged with oil, not sweat. The exception is bacne: A damp sports bra worn too long can push bacteria into the sebum glands, causing zits.
*Sweating (aka exercise) stimulates neurochemical pathways in the brain, resulting in the production of endorphins that act as natural painkillers and boosts overall mood. In addition, working up a sweat stimulates and increases circulation in the body resulting in that post-workout glow. Overall, exercise and working up a sweat is key to keeping inflammation low, increased mood and glow, and controls overall health and wellness.
Diet
Myth: Drinking a lot of water will keep your skin clear.
Fact: While water is very important for a heathy diet and complexion, it sadly will not stop acne. Acne and breakouts can be caused by all sorts of issues, but are most directly related to hormones and bacteria.
*However, drinking lots of water and staying hydrated will help fine lines and wrinkles appear less pronounced. Skin will look less dull and dry as water also helps to flush salt and pollutants out of the body. Consistent water intake also helps the eyes look clearer.
Fact: Glycation is the main enemy when it comes to the skin and the aging process of the body in general.
*The glycation process, which is basically, sugars (from food and alcohol) breaking down the collagen fibers in the skin, which excels the aging process.
Fact: Foods that feed glycation and cause inflammation in the body and the skin are carbohydrates, fried foods, sugar, fatty meats and alcohol. Limiting the above mentioned triggers and increasing intake of vegetables and fruits high in anti-oxidants and essential fats will keep skin glowing and clear.
Exfoliation
Myth: Acne prone skin should not exfoliate for fear of spreading the bacteria to other areas of the face.
Fact: Exfoliation not only clears up existing oil and bacteria, it also removes dead and dry skin cells and inhibits future breakouts. Exfoliation helps acne!
*Regular exfoliation helps treat existing scarring due to Acne. Causing a more even skin surface and smaller pores.
Face Oils
Myth: Face oils are only for dry skin and not acne prone skin.
Fact: Argan Oil and Jojoba Oil, which are similar to our skin’s sebum and trick the skin into thinking enough oil has been produced, so that it does not need to overproduce oil/sebum, thus causing breakouts.
Fact: Hemp Seed Oil eliminates blackheads and is anti-inflammatory.
Fact: People with an oily complexion also suffer from acne and scarring.
Fact: Rose Hip Seed + Baobob Oil help to heal, repair tissue and brighten skin due to high levels Vitamin C, Omega-3 + Omega-6 fatty acids and Retinoic acid.
*Acne prone skin should avoid Avocado oil and Coconut oil as they can be too heavy.
Sunscreen
Myth: All sunscreen can cause Acne + breakouts
Fact: Look for a physical sunscreen that contains Titanium Dioxide or Zinc oxide, as these ingredients sit on top of the skin to protect instead of being absorbed. Also look for oil-free, non-comedogenic sunscreens that come in a dry mist application.
*Stay clear of ingredients like PABA which can cause clogged pores and allergic reactions.
Ingredients
Myth: All ingredients are safe, because there being sold.
Fact: Ingredients matter, no only for what they do inside your body but topically as well. Certain widely used and popular ingredients can be the cause of acne, breakouts and allergies.
*There is no governing body that says what is natural or not in the beauty industry. So you must be your own advocate. Read labels, google ingredients and know what they do.
Fact: Look for naturally derived ingredients that do not contain mineral oils, alcohol , sulfates, silicones, parabens or artificial fragrances.
