Top 3 Toronto Beaches

Serene Selfie at Ward's Island

I grew up in the city, but I am an island girl at heart. I am always torn between being the two!

Here are my top beaches!

For over 28 years Spirit of Aloha 'Ohana Hula have been perpetuating the Hawaiian culture through the dance Hula in Scarborough. On the year end recital the haumana (students) show their mana (spirit/vibe) and hard work through various meles (songs). This year's theme, Maui!

MeU & Everyone we know

Being stopped by H&M employees asking questions about the MeU bag outside Yonge & Dundas Square in the middle of the video shoot

My good friend Dean Vargas from Motion Pantry hooked me up with an awesome gig doing make up for a project he directed for MeU.

The Toronto weather has been pretty crazy and unpredictable as per usual this year. Our shoot was  rescheduled several times because of the spotty rain but we lucked out last Friday as we shot guerrilla style in the heart of down town.

Sakura to ya

I was lucky enough to participate in the Sakura Hunani (Cherry Blossom Watching) as I came to the tail end of the season. Cherry blossoms only bloom for a week, making this season all the more fleeting and coveted.

First Blog Post

Hello!
You can call me Dee. This is my very first post on this blog!
This blog will be under some beauty makeover so bare with me as there will be a few changes here and there.
This lifestyle blog is dedicated to beauty, the city, the island, and the hustle.
I will be offering tips on all make up, how to get around the city, dreams about island life, and the 30 something survival guide (and everything in between!)
Hope you will enjoy. Feel free to comment and follow me on instagram!

I have blogged many times before.  Some of which are secret and if you found them good for you!
Here are links to my old posts where I used to be an Event Manager.
