Event LOVE: Nail Polish HEAVEN! #QuoByOrly @QuoCosmetics @OrlyNails
We were invited to an event, that could called a nail polish and nail art lover’s dream event! Shoppers Drug Mart invited us to an exclusive preview of the Quo by ORLY fall collection, which featured special guests ORLY founder, Jeff Pink and celebrity manicurist Kimmie Kyees. And. It. Was. FABULOUS!
We sat attentively as Jeff Pink gave us the juice on ORLY’s new at-home Gel Nail Colours and tools, as well as introduced us to the new Quo by ORLY Smart Gels LED Lamp- the newest way to achieve a professional gel manicure without having to leave the comfort of your home! It’ll be available in mid August at Shoppers Drug Mart, and will retail at $85. Then Kimmie Kyees told us all about she started doing manicures as a little girl for her family and friends, to becoming one of the most sought out celebrity manicurists in Hollywood.
After the presentations were over, we were free to mix and mingle, sip cocktails, snack on tasty hors d’oeuvres, and we even got to get our nails by the amazing manicurists of Pinky’s nails. The best part though? We were given an empty paint tin can, and told to fill it up, then we were given an LED lamp, that we could get customized! It was awesome-sauce!
Where does one start when there’s so much goodness to get into?!
It was a beautiful sunny day, and the view was EVERYTHING!!
There was just so much nail polish I couldn’t contain myself.

Event LOVE: #BombayCocktailHour with Bombay Sapphire
Bombay Sapphire recently invited us to experience a Cocktail Hour like no other! Just in time for summer entertaining, the iconic gin took the popular pastime of the Roaring Twenties and re-introduced it to the Twenty-Thirteen with a modern and refreshing twist! Bombay Sapphire Master Mixologist, Raj Nagra and acclaimed Toronto Chef, Cory Vitiello, partnered up to show us how to throw the ultimate “How-To” Cocktail Hour party. Cory demonstrated how to whip up delicious hors d’oeuvres, and Raj followed by giving us a demonstration on how to create the perfect cocktails to pair with Cory’s creations. I’m not a big gin drinker, but Raj definitely changed my mind with those cocktails he created! They were so so good. And the food? Oh my gawd, the food was soooo GOOD! We all had a great time, everybody had a bunch of questions for Raj and Cory, we were all laughing, chatting, sipping cocktails, and devouring the delicious appetizers. It was a good night!

such a fun night with these ladies and gentleman!
The welcome cocktail was the bomb!
We were also given a chance to create our own cocktails to pair with some of the dishes…
This was mine: A lot of gin, some orange juice, orange zest, muddled raspberries, and topped with club soda! It was yummy.
We went home with an awesome D.I.Y cocktail kit!
and some gin!
Thank you for inviting us, we had a lovely time!Bella

Event LOVE: #HoneyMania with @TheBodyShopCA
I got a super cute invitation to join The Body Shop for a “bee-autiful” presentation, during a media breakfast at the Toronto Botanical Gardens last week. This was our chance to get the “buzz” on their new “Honeymania” collection, and other fabulous launches by The Body Shop, like the new Colour Crush make-up and Chamomile range. I’ve never been to the Toronto Botanical Gardens, so I was definitely excited for the experience, and I’m always down to hear about and/or experience anything by The Body Shop.
We began the morning with a delicious Honey inspired menu of breakfast treats, while learning all about the Honey Mania collection, and other future Body Shop collections, then it was time for some fun! We were lead into another room, where we got to try out the Honey Mania collection, as well as the new Colour Crush make-up line, which I have to mention, left me pleasantly surprised at how highly pigmented the eyeshadows and lipsticks were!
Yummy Honey Manicures!“We use Sheka honey organically harvested from the Ethiopian rainforest. It has a distinctive floral taste and smell because of the wildflowers the bees visit to make the honey… Beza Mar are experts in Ethiopian Honey, are dedicated to improving the livelihoods of Ethiopian beekeepers and are extremely strict about the quality of their honey. They’re the first honey producers in Ethiopia to be delivering honey to foreign buyers – and our trade brings a precious source of income….”- The Body Shop
