 Some stuff I've been using and loving a lot lately:) 1)Love Liner Liquid Best liquid liner ever! 2)Flawless Magic Oil hair serum Bought this from one of those kiosks that always harass the customers in a mall...LOLZ...this was worth it though. Quite pricey so I don't use it all the time, but it does make my hair soft (which is quite a feat TBH). 3) Muji Cleansing Oil I've always loved Muji skin care stuff, and this is a new addition to my faves:) Really gets my makeup off! 4)Cerave Renewing SA Lotion Our family doctor actually prescribed this to my daughter when she was having really super dry skin and now, I'm the one using it...coz winter....sigh.... 5) Angel perfume by Thierry Mugler My all-time fave perfume. I tend to only wear this on winter though coz it's a heavy scent. What are your current faves lately?

Inspiration: Emerald Fennell

 Emerald Fennell is an English actress known for her work as Camilla Parker Bowles in the show The Crown. I, however, have not seen this show, and just recently became familiar with her because she wrote and directed Saltburn. image from vanityfair.com image from imdb.com (Barry Keoghan in Saltburn was fantastic!) Saltburn has become an obsession since I saw it on Amazon Prime, so of course, what's a girl to do but go down the rabbit hole and lo and behold, I am now also obsessed with director Emerald! image from theguardian.com image from entertainmentweekly.com (She also wrote and directed Promising Young Women, another freaking amazing movie.) She is just so eloquent and charming in all her interviews. See example below: And because of her and Saltburn, I'm now reading one of the books that inspired it. Loving it so far! Speaking of books, here is a video I did for our book club YouTube channel, where I talk about my all-time favourite books:) If you need some book recs or j...

 We've been having some really cold and snowy days lately. I know, I know...."Emmy, you live in Canada! D'uh!"
