The cutaway card backings have adhesive so you just stick it into place and start cutting your design! The machine will only cut through the top layer, making it easier than ever to creat a custom card in minutes.

(Gifted) I recently received some products from @g (Gifted) I recently received some products from @go.picky and one of my fav skincare brands, @isntree, in exchange for my honest review. I really loved using each one of these  products, so I thought I would share my review here too. I noticed a difference within a few days of using these products and would recommend all of them! 

🌰 Chestnut AHA 8% Clear Essence:
The chestnut AHA essence is sensitive skin friendly, moisturizing and helps remove dead skin cells. This essence is very light-weight, refreshing, gentle and absorbs quickly. I have very sensitive skin and used it daily with no issues. 

🤍 TW-Real Bifida Ampoule:
This bifida serum strengthens your skin barrier, reduces wrinkles and brightens your complexion. It’s light-weight but still is packed with moisture. It also absorbs quickly and isn’t sticky. It left my skin feeling silky smooth and glowing. It also layers with other serums nicely.

🌿 Mugwort Calming Cream:
The mugwort cream is incredibly calming, moisturizing and great for acne-prone skin. It feels soothing upon application. It’s not greasy or too heavy, and a little really goes a long way which I loved. I‘ve been using these products as part of my nighttime routine, but this cream absorbs quickly as well and would layer nicely with other products or under SPF.

I love my @cricut Joy! One of my fav things to mak I love my @cricut Joy! One of my fav things to make on it is cards. Cricut recently launched a new card system, Cutaway Cards, and I just ✨had✨ to try it out!

They’re different from Insert Cards in the sense that you’re no longer required to design with stencil images and fonts, so you can avoid tiny, floating pieces. This means you can use almost any image in the library to create a card! The backing actually has adhesive, making it easier than ever to stick it into place.

If you want to learn more about it, there are a few posts all about it on my blog (link in bio).

Shop local, Shopping · August 23, 2016

Shop Local: Mint Floral Co in Whitby, ON

If you follow me on Instagram, you’re probably already familiar with Mint Floral Co, a florist located in downtown Whitby that I can’t stop posting photos of. (Seriously. It’s no secret that I’m kind of obsessed with them.)

Recently, they underwent some renovations which were revealed at Historic Downtown Whitby’s annual “Shop Late, Shop Local” night. So, I thought I would take the time to share a few photos of the gorgeous space and write about them.

They create the most gorgeous floral arrangements that you can custom-order for any occasion, or you can just pick up their pre-made in-store mason jar arrangements. One thing that I really love about Mint Floral Co, keeping with the shop local theme, is that many of the flowers used in their arrangements come from the owner’s garden or are locally sourced. (As much as they can be, it is Canada after all!) It’s a part of a mini-project that Mint Floral Co launched called The Farmer Florist. 

I find that their arrangements also last a really long time – including the ones with peonies. In my experience, peonies would never last long but I was quick to learn they can last quite a while if they come from a good flourist and you care for them properly.

(Pro-tip: They told me to cut the stems and replace the water every two days and it had a dramatic effect on how long my flowers lasted.)

In addition to floral arrangements, the store also offers some great (and unique!) gifts. Another reason why I get so excited about Mint Floral Co. is that their stock-list for the gift section are small business owners and Etsy sellers, (many Canadian) such as: Woodlot, Bad Ass Candles, Seventh Tree Soaps, the Wicked Bohem and Liana Marie just to name a few.

ust when you thought this place couldn’t get any better, they also offer workshops ranging from floral arranging, succulent gardens, flower crowns, terrariums, etc.  I think all of the workshops makes for a fun girls night out – they even offer private parties and workshops which come with wine (appropriately called “Sips and Stems”). Seasonal workshops are offered as well, such as wreaths and thanksgiving centerpieces! I haven’t taken one yet, but I’m itching to take the flower crown and winter wreath workshops.

The shop is located at 108 Dundas St West, in Whitby, Ontario and operating hours are Tuesday to Friday, 11am to 4pm and Saturday 10am to 4pm.
