* NEW HAIR WHO DIS? *

Dubbed “mermaid hair” by all of my friends, when I’m ready to take the scissors to my locks it’s BIG because trims are out and hair donation is IN.

Every time I cut my hair, I lovingly package it up to send off to @wigsforkidsbc and the last 2 times I’ve been so fortunate that the team at @mystiquehairdesign have been the ones at the helm of the scissors. From start to finish, the experience feels luxurious with a sweet treat, drinks & good company (with the best senses of humour!) — @tashaatmystique took on my transformation, and @nicoleatmystique took on Livs and we both left with the freshest styles!

Want to win a hair makeover for yourself? Our friends at Mystique Hair Salon want to give one lucky follower a $100 gift certificate to use towards services and getting the style of YOUR dreams!

HOW TO WIN //

🎉 The countdown is ON! If you're still looking

🎉 The countdown is ON! If you're still looking for something to do this weekend, there are just 2 days left until the White Rock & South Surrey Culture Crawl. You're in for an epic celebration of creativity running October 5-6! 🌟

Get ready to dive into an amazing lineup of over 25 venues bursting with the talents of musicians, artists, storytellers, and more. This isn't just an eventᅳit's an immersive experience you won't want to miss with your families, friends, and art lovers alike. If you've been here awhile, you know that my kid is ALL about the arts & music, having been involved in piano and voice lessons since a young age after visiting a local neighborhood studio for a tour when she was little. And art? That was picked up after walking on Artist Row. 🎨

Go on an unforgettable adventure as you dive into a world of eye-opening tours and captivating historical exhibits. Experience thrilling theatre, and groove to live music while unleashing your creativity and diving into a whirlwind of fun by trying out new crafts, exploring different instruments, and soaking up the vibrant culture of the Peninsula through free drop-in activities (with a few ticketed performances).

What would be YOUR first stop on the crawl? 🎭🎶

📣 birthday cakes are OUT & cinnamon buns are IN 📣

Celebrated the best birthday indulging in the gooiest, moistest and diviiiiine cinnamon buns ever all decked out for birthday celebrations.

@groundsyvr has legit changed my “I’ll bring dessert” game for the foreseeable future, these indulgent buns are the perfect wow factor and trust me… everyone will want seconds (including me 🤣)

I got the birthday buns obv, but they are also known for their fruit covered cinnamon buns and the OG, smothered in delicious cream cheese icing that made me wish I had a line right to their machine. Gimmmmay the icing!

Being the husbands ride to pickup his new car came

Being the husbands ride to pickup his new car came with stipulations. He had to find me a @mcdonaldscanada that had the @crocs toys. A happy meal for breakfast? Yes.

I’m so bummed the 3 I really want aren’t in Canada. 😒

Anyone else love the tiny toys? I swear this drop was entirely for the adults.

How do I have a HIGHSCHOOLER already? She’s the coolest teen around! 🎉 [ad]

High school can be a wild ride, especially for neurodivergent kids dealing with new schedules, schools, and friends. So, we came up with a fun solution: an “anxiety transition bag” packed with goodies to help when things get overwhelming.

With a little help from @cricut, we had a blast designing custom zip bags using infusible ink and layered iron-on. It’s a quick, easy project that’s perfect for beginners. A designed hers with a cottagecore, mushroom, and forest vibe.

Not into those? Here are some other funny options she loves:
🍃 Anxiety is my flex
🍃 I might be the people, but I don’t like the people
🍃 The forest is calling & I must go
🍃 Please don’t ask me questions

Create your own bag with your teen and make an afternoon of laughs and creativity. Plus, use my code bcmomdotca10 to snag 10% off at cricut.com! #cricutmade

What would you use as your anxiety bag slogan?

DATE NIGHT // thanks to @bactouring for the amazin

DATE NIGHT // thanks to @bactouring for the amazing night out to enjoy award-winning show Come From Away! 🌟 There’s a reason Canadians have a reputation for being “nice” and Gander, Newfoundland is a huge part of that reputation. Welcoming an expected 7000 passengers during one of the most unforgettable world events, Come From Away tells the heartwarming story of extraordinary acts of kindness, hospitality and compassion while navigating high emotions. Come From Away celebrates the unforgettable spirit of humanity and the power of community in the face of adversity.

If you’re looking for a date night idea, I can’t recommend catching Come From Away at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver enough! Running from September 10-15 with multiple shows daily. This is one Canadian story you won’t want to miss! 🎭❤️ #baccomefromaway

Global Wonders is a non-profit organization that helps women who’ve escaped human trafficking and sexual exploitation by providing a long-term recovery program including housing, recovery, education, and skill development. They’ve created a haven to support the reintegration and support of women who have survived some of the most awful circumstances and give them the chance to heal and thrive in safety.

💙💚 GO CANUCKS GO 💙💚

This new little love from @jellycat couldn't have shown up at a better time as we cheer on our local @canucks moving into game 6 of the series, we've got our eyes on a cup, and the Official Jelly Puck is coming along for the ride.

Right now, the Amuseables Hockey Puck is available as a Canada-exclusive at specialty retail stores throughout May with global rollout starting in June. He's the perfect little gift for your hockey loving friends and family, or to commemorate an incredible 2023-2024 season.

The official jelly puck has been my desk buddy for the past week and I simply cannot get over his little smiley face. Jellycat doesn't just make sports friends either, the Amuseables line boasts some of the most random and high quality collectibles that are some of my absolute favourites.

Do you have a Jellycat collector at home? Which is your favourite?
