One of the amenity features that we wanted to include in our ensuite renovation was the addition of a towel warmer. I love this feature and I also love the way the matte black contrasts the white marble tile wall.   Where do you land on electric towel warmers? A little “extra” or intelligent functional item in a bathroom? Here’s why we got one: dry towels. As dry as the climate is in Calgary, sometimes our towels didn’t dry fast enough or that fully dry feeling. The towel warmer solves this problem for us. It also gives us an aesthetically pleasing place to hang our towels to dry.   I’m also not going to lie, getting out of the shower or a relaxing bath to a cozy warm towel is pretty awesome. When I was a kid and swimming in a backyard pool on a less than hot day, my mom would put towels in the dryer to warm them up so they’d be cozy for us when we got out, so it reminds me of this memory.   Tile: Towel Warmer: Acona Comfort 6 Wall Mount Plug-In and Hardwire Towel Warmer in Matte Black - I purchased ours from @costco_canada #ensuite #cozy #towels #towelwarmer #bathroom #bathroomgoals #mastersuite #homeinspo #interiordesign

What do you look for in window coverings?! A few years ago, I decided to hang curtains in our dining room. I remember looking at the space and saying to my husband “now it looks like adults live here”. Well, the time has come to upgrade these curtains as this initial set served mainly as a design experiment (that lasted several years). I was feeling ‘over’ the color choice and wanted something with more texture and weight. Through my extensive online research, I came across @twopagescurtains and knew I had to give them a try.   I ordered swatches and used their planning tool to customize every part of my order, right down to the pleating! The process was so easy that I’ve already got my eye on other rooms in our house that I want to update the window coverings for! #interiordesign #adulting #midcenturymodern #curtains #windowcoverings #homedecor #twopagescurtains

Do you transition your skin care routine from season to season? I feel like where we live the climate goes from summer to extra dry and cold almost overnight. I’m an outdoorsy girl, no matter what the season. You would think that in the summer I’d be looking for more moisture for my skin, but I find that in the fall, my skin is begging for more moisture!   I like to throw in a hydrafacial or two and maybe a few moisture-rich masks at home to help keep my skin balanced and hydrated. I find that if I don’t, I get breakouts and my fine lines don’t appear as “fine” as they did before. I’m also trying to be conscious of how much water I’m drinking. With more time spent inside, I’m having to remind myself to hydrate properly.   Because I’m outdoors a lot, I still make sure to use sunscreen. I find it’s something we forget about when the temperatures drop and you can’t feel the heat on your face, but it’s still incredibly important. #skincare #decorte #fallskincare #beauty #decortebeauty #japaneseskincare

Visiting the Field of Crosses in Calgary is something we do every year to educate our children about the reason for Remembrance Day. There is something incredibly impactful about this display. It honours 3500 southern Albertans who gave their lives in service for Canada as well as 120,000 Canadian heroes across Canada who gave their lives with 120 special crosses throughout the park. We value our freedoms in this country and believe very strongly in honouring those who fought for us to have this luxury. Remembrance Day is a time to be thankful for those who made sacrifices for us and for our way of life. This year, this message feels more important than ever. World history. Holocaust education. Facing the unpleasant pieces of our past so that we do not repeat this mistakes in the future. Details: The Field of Crosses Eleven Days of Remembrance initiative takes place from November 1 to 11 with 3,500 commemorative crosses displayed across five acres at 200 Memorial Drive NW, Calgary.

Do you change up your skincare in the winter?! I’m in denial that it’s that time of year already, but the days are getting shorter and the air is getting dryer, and for many of us, it’s time to up our skincare game! I had an amazing night at the @vivierskin #GlowWithVivier event a couple of weeks ago here in #yyc . It was an evening filled with delicious food, good company and fabulous products; I am loving their new Illuminating Enzymatic Peel.
