The #NoHairSelfie Challange + Princess Margaret Cancer Centre

I’m an avid supporter of cancer research and have had family members and friends who have been touched by the disease. As a result, I try to be extra mindful of the things I CAN do to prevent it. For me, that includes wearing sunscreen, cutting back on red meat, not smoking and not drinking unless it’s a special occasion. However, sometimes that isn’t enough and there’s so much more research still to be done.

I had my biggest scare when my husband Paul was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2014. Basel Cell Carcinoma is actually a very common form of skin cancer and we’re glad we caught it when we did. Luckily, it was treatable – but we made some serious lifestyle changes after realizing how a cancer diagnosis can come in an instant.

In 2016, an estimated 15 million people will be diagnosed worldwide and that number will skyrocket to 22 million by 2030. I would love to see a cure or advancement in treatment in my lifetime and I know the incredible team at The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre are committed to this goal.

One of the not-so-great side effects of those undergoing treatment is hair loss.

How can you help?

Join the #NoHairSelfie movement and stand alongside those fighting cancer with a virtual or IRL head shave while raising money for The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre! Take a selfie, choose a virtual head shave and then donate to the cause. This unique initiative is the first-ever global fundraising campaign supporting World Cancer Day.

Whether you decide to support the cause with an IRL or virtual head shave, all the funds raised through this app will help fund progress in cancer research.

See what you would look like after a head shave!

INGNI Lucky Bag 2016 Fukubukuro イング福袋２０１６年

Image
Hi everyone! Today I am going to reveal what is inside the INGNI Fukubukuro 2016 bag! Fukubukuro is a "lucky bag" in Japan which you can buy in the new years, I went to Shibuya109 to get my bags this morning! I decided to get the INGNI bag since I really love the brand INGNI, it's casual but also cute at the same time! The bag was 10,000yen and 13 items inside. First item is this coat! The quality is not too bad, but I think that usually for fukubukuros, the quality isn't too great. This is a nice cardigan! I don't have anything like this so I'm glad I got something! Floral skirt~ It's a bit longer to a skirt that I would usually wear but I may find a use for it later ~ haha Stripy top! It's really nice and I like it! Knitted dress, I LOVELOVELOVE this!! I thought it was a sweater but when I opened it, I was very surprised, I like it so much!!! Navy sweater! It also comes with a fake shirt collar inside. I really like this!...

Checking In: Marriott Courtyard Chelsea NYC

New York is easily one of my favourite cities to visit. So when Paul’s aunt celebrated her 70th birthday this past weekend, we made plans to fly across the country to join the celebration. The most stressful thing about planning a last-minute trip to NYC is finding a good hotel room. We ended up choosing the Marriott Courtyard Chelsea which has an amazing location in the heart of Manhattan. Getting There – We flew Delta direct from Portland to NYC into JFK Airport. From there it was one quick AirTrain ride to Jamaica Station and then the Long Island Railroad express with just two stops to Penn Station in just 20 minutes. We avoided a ton of traffic this way and the train is always such a smooth ride – especially if you get motion sick easily like me (hello NYC cabs!) Tile Art in the Lobby The Location – The Marriott Courtyard Chelsea is only a 4-minute walk from Penn Station and a 4-minute walk to 34th Street Herald Square Subway. It’s perfect for going in any whic...
