    Melanie Fiona : 4am

    Something about Melanie Fiona’s tracks tend to kill me softly, feeling like words from my mind. Somewhere between her melodic voice and relevant content is a place where heart strings are tugged by the tightest of muscles and… Explosion! Here comes another banger! This is obviously not the first time I’ve ever covered Ms. Fiona’s singles, I’m in love with her voice and 100% love and appreciate the recognition that her success is bringing to #Toronto. So press ►, have a listen & talk to me… tell me what gets you ‘feelin’ kinda crazy at 4am’… #xoxo

    Why I Love @LimeCrime

    Lime Crime Makeup! It is a “real-life fairy tale” for Doe Deere, a New York makeup artist and fashion blogger originally from Russia. Launched in 2008, Doe Deere wanted to create her own line of makeup because what she wanted did not exist! Lime Crime products are not tested on animals and are PETA-certified cruelty-free. You can shop for makeup for your eyes and lips, two essentials every girl needs!

    Do you dare to be different? Cause Lime Crime has many different, bright colors of lipstick.

    There is a limited edition, MINT TO BE opaque green lipstick. Why not try MY BEAUTIFUL ROCKET, an orange shade Deere made after her grandmother! Lime Crime’s CENTRIFUCHSIA is great too, a bright fuchsia pink color. One last one I would like to mention is their NO SHE DIDN’T opaque blue lipstick. It is a bubblegum blue color where you can where it alone, OR layer over others to create a new shade!

    BRIGHT. COLORFUL. SMOOTH & CREAMY. LONG-WEARING.

    For the eyes, TWILIGHT magic dust eye shadow is a soft-lavender purple color. MEDUSA magic dust is an intense shimmer black, great for the smokey eye look! These eye shadows can also be used as eyeliner. Mix & match the lipsticks and the eye shadows to create your own look!

    The Hamptons Fitness & Wellness Soiree


    Team NY HeyDoYou! Olisa and I 🙂

    Miss Ahlilah Longmire threw a little Soiree in the Hamptons this weekend and me and Olisa trekked up there.  After a 2 hour + drive up there on a Saturday, we were greeted by cucumber crab snacks and various cocktails.  Dr. Emily Splichal recognized by stiletto lovers as Dr. Legs was selling her books and dvds, and PIX 11 Dr. Steve Salvatore said he is so glad that ‘no one fat’ was in attendance. O_o ooookay!

    There were complimentary massages, reflexology and pedi + manis. Here is the lady giving me side eye for disrupting her zen.

    Even though the pool was sparkling and the liquor was flowing, most people sat around with their friends, not mingling. Tsk tsk. Big pet peeve of mine.


    I love this cork mirror and that i’m not wearing what people are ‘suppose’ to wear to the Hamptons. Jus saying.

    Marni Runway Double Buckles 🙂 Love these!


    Olisa + Monica

    Stone frogs, chillin’

    Sipping on Hint 🙂






    Yay to maxi skirts.

    I have to say, I was so curious what the Hamptons were like… but it’s not that different than Wasaga Beach really 🙂

    Drake Talks Stevie Wonder and Headlines at OVO Fest

    On July 31st, the second annual OVO Fest took place at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto. I wanted to go but the tickets sold out ASAP. Maybe next year. Maybe I’ll meet Drake and we’ll fall madly in love and we will work together and I’ll do all his public relations – hey a girl can dream right! The OVO Fest was created and hosted by Toronto’s very own, Drake and brought big names to the line up. Toronto’s very own The Weeknd (love their music. LOVE), New York’s- J. Cole, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne and everyone’s favourite legendary artist Stevie Wonder.

    So how did Drake get the legend Stevie Wonder to perform for this festival?

    Drake also spoke to T-Rexx of Rap City about his new single “Headlines“.

    Do you think Stevie Wonder fit perfectly into the OVO Fest or was it just odd that he was there?
    Plus, if you got to go to the Fest tell me about your experience in the comments or tweet me @itstanyag !

    Get Inspired!! Get Creative!!

    I read magazines all the time. I’m constantly reading, researching and just looking at pictures. When I’m done reading these magazines I don’t really have any space for them, so I decided to get inspired. Everyone needs a little motivation and inspiration to get going. I’ve recently decided to create an inspiration board to keep me inspired and to keep my creative thoughts flowing. This inspiration board is to keep all my ideas together plus, it was a super fun and cheap way to redecorate your place. You can include anything and everything on these boards and make it as big or small as you want. So get creative this weekend, rip out some magazine pages, and cut some photos. Add some starfish like me or, or just keep it super simple (I’m just a simple girl with a love for starfish  and pink, apparently).

     

    Now readers, do you have inspiration boards?? Have you ever created something like this?? Besides creating inspiration boards, what helps to keep your creativity going??

    Tweet at me @itstanyag or leave me a comment, and let me know!!
