I haven’t done a nail tutorial in ages and I’ve been getting so many requests that it’s hard not to become inspired. I love Halloween but sometimes, I just don’t feel like doing a totally ‘bloody’ nail tutorial. I like simple and chic right now so these cute pumpkin nails definitely make me feel like that.
Here is the video tutorial-it’s so simple I know you can do it!
I hope you enjoyed and don’t forget to subscribe and thumbs it up for more nail tutorials!

Halloween is almost upon us and before it catches up on me, I decided to start my Halloween tutorials early. The first look is Red Riding Hood-and everyone knows that I have a love affair with the colour red…hence I chose this as my first look.
My makeup is very simple but it definitely gives the wolf-like look that I wanted.

Here are some of the products that I used to create this look:
And best of all, you can make the cloak in less than one minute! All I used was satin-velvet is preferred but I couldn’t get any-and a ribbon. I used only 2 yards of material because I’m only 5’2 but if you’re taller, then by all means use more.
Here’s a pictorial if you rock that way (instructions are below):
1. Get about 2 yards of material (more if you’re taller-I’m 5’2)
2. Place the part you want to be the hood over your head
3. Take a piece of ribbon that can go around your head and tie securely
4. Place the ribbon around the ‘hood’ that you made and tie as if you’re starting off to make a bow
5. Pull more of the ‘hood’ through the hoop you made
6. Make a bow with your ribbon
7. Pull as much of cloth as you want to make a hood
There you go. Now you can make a cloak in less than 1 minute without any kind of sewing or gluing!
I hope you enjoy it!

Being in my new apartment and having a ton of different keys for God knows where, often leaves me as a fumbling mess whenever I’m trying to get in anywhere. So I decided to make them as pretty as can be. Here’s the video and below there are two cute little pictorials for the Vintage Rose one and the Leopard Print one. I hope you like them! Comment and let me know which one was your favourite!

Since school is right around the corner, I’ve put together a list of stationery items I think you would need. I call this my ‘stationery survival kit’ which essentially contains all the items that you should have in stock, just in case you run out of them throughout the school term. Check out the list below the video!
I hope this helps!

Back to school is rolling around the corner and I’ve decided to kick off my back to school series with some tips for binder organization!
1. Any binder of your choice- I chose a white one with the clear part in front where you can slip in things. I put this graduation card that my bestest aunt in the whole wide world gave me.
2. Poly envelopes that you can stick to your binder with two-sided tape., I put flash cards in mine but you can put whatever you’d like-even stationery!
3. Stick notes and post it’s! You can never get enough of these. I used two sided tape again and stuck them to my binder for extra security. I’m always jotting down some note or marking off textbook pages.
4. Sheet protectors- these are for when you get handouts in class and they don’t have binder holes. Keep them in the sheet protectors until you get to punch them.
5. Speaking of punching…you will need a paper puncher of course.
6. Paper: the more the merrier I always say – computer pages, file paper, graph paper- any kind of paper because you never know when you’re going to be needing them.
7. Ready Index Tabs are a God sent because they can easily help you to subdivide your binder into the subjects that you’re taking. Paris bought me the numerical set (they have alphabetical and a ton of other options) at Staples for under $4.00 but you can definitely get them at any stationery store.
Note: If you don’t have these, don’t stress because you can take those very sheet protectors I mentioned and slip in colourful paper or any kind of fun paper so that those will serve as dividers. You can associate the colour of your paper with the subject. Get creative!
8. A pen that you can just clip to one of the rings so that you’ll always have something to write with.
And that’s about everything that you need to have a very organized and efficient binder. I hope you enjoyed this post!
