Longer, Fuller, Stronger…we’re talking lashes!

April 5, 2013 by Sonya

Waaaayyyy back during the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September I had visited a few "gifting lounges" to the stars.

A boost of energy!

March 11, 2013 by Sonya

Where do you get your energy from? Aside from an exhilarating walk in the neighbourhood, or a venture to the mall to take advantage of the latest sale, I admit that I get my energy with my daily caffeine intake (lactose caramel macchiato, thanks). But there are times that I'd like a boost of energy … [Read more...]

On work/life balance with Anissa Holmes

I always find people so fascinating. I was raised with the understanding that everyone has a story and each one of us is unique.

My life has been a whirlwind over the last few months and I feel that I have finally come up for air.
