Well, it’s that time of year again! I’m busy packing our bags to head to Cape Breton to visit our family this week. This summer we have weddings to attend and new babies to meet, on top of our daily beach trips and loads of family time. All three of us are looking forward to getting away for a couple weeks, and of course that salt water air. As anyone who has seen the suitcase I lug home every summer…
*This post has been edited from its original version. The company has since changed their name from Flynn & Sage to Conscience Beauty Lab but their beauty products are still the same great quality.

Today marks the anniversary of the murders of 14 innocent women at l’École Polytechnique de Montréal in 1989. They were killed simply because…
Finally! The Christmas season is here again. I love it! The decorations, the music, the FOOD, even the shopping; I love it all.
