Our Livingroom || Festive Touches with @TheBrick #AD #homedecor #mybrickhome

I love this time of year! But I’ll be the first to admit, it can feel overwhelming with the excessive amount of “things” I feel I may need. So this year, I took a far more minimal approach to our holiday decor and let me be the first to say I’m loving it. When you have great furniture to begin with, I don’t feel the need to get put up an excessive amount of decorations to get that festive feel. I love how comfortable and cozy our living room is with ample seating with two Designed2B Dez 3-Piece Sectionals from The Brick. Soft, cozy and inviting. It’s the perfect spot to relax and unwind. We added pre-lite garland to my favourite Black Arch lamps with Gold Shades to get a holiday feel. Added a few ornaments, greenery and signage throughout the room to add just enough festive flair. How are you decorating this year?

Holiday Dining || Simple Decor Ideas with @Thebrick #AD

Server || Dining Set || Rug || Wall Scones ( In store find from The Brick) It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I simple love the holidays. Since posting our dining set up on my IG stories I’ve gotten quite a few questions about our minimalist take on decorations. Honestly, I’m loving it. Not only is it cost efficent, I still feel like we’ve captured that festive feel without breaking the bank. The key to my Modern Minimalist Christmas style: great furniture to begin with! You don’t need tons of seasonal decorations to get a room looking great when it already looks amazing. We went with dining set from The Brick mainly because I loved the look of it. But also, the padded leather chairs are comfortable and wipeable for the kids. The Bari set is so stylish and clearly became the focal point of our room. We added fresh greenery to our Jade Server for that festive look and unreal smell. For more of a festive scent to the room, I added seasonal candles to those mazing black honey comb candle holders I found in store from The Brick. To keep with the minimalist theme, I stored away our table clothe, running and napkins in the Jade Server for a decluttered look. Simple and chic without breaking the bank on an over the top tablescape.

Lastly, I added a sparse garland to the picture and some geo shaped decorations to the light fixture. It only took me a few minutes to get so much visual impact with just a handful of seasonal decorations.

Local Love || LipStick Empire Laser Spa || What I’m getting done…

As you’ve seen from my Instagram Stories over the past few months I’ve been going to Lipstick Empire to pamper myself, do a few treatments on some challenge areas and be my best self. I’ve gotten so many questions about what I’m doing, why I’m doing it and how it’s going. So I thought I’d do a Laser Spa spotlight on Lipstick Empire.

Let’s start with laser hair and tattoo removal. My husband has had one session for his tattoo and so far I haven’t seen to much of a difference. Mind you it’ll take several sessions to see results. So I’m saving that reveal for a later date. Let’s just say, it didn’t hurt as much as he thought it was going to, thanks to the numbing cream. And we have seen some fading since his appointment over a month ago. As for the laser hair removal, I’ve had three treatments and have already seen some results. I’ve started to see massive patching in my bikini line. My upper lip is almost completely hairless and my underarms have considerable less hair. My legs, as you can see from this photo are looking amazing! I’m guessing I’ll need two more treatments there. The average per area is 6 sessions. Please see more info HERE. The last question, was pain level. I’d say it hurt in different areas more compared to others but it’s over in seconds.

Let’s talk about the UltraShape™ treatments. They can be done on the abdomen, flanks, back, buttocks, arms and legs. I’ve been working on my stomach. After baby I was finding it difficult to get that area flat again. I had changed my diet and I’m active, it was frustrating. So I tried UltraShape™. It is a safe, efficient non-invasive body treatment that uses unique pulsed ultrasound technology to reduce fat in stubborn areas. By focusing ultrasound energy at a controlled depth, the UltraShape® treatment has the unique ability to mechanically and selectively destroy fat cells without harming the surrounding tissue. Measurable results can be seen in as little as 2 weeks. I got into jeans I couldn’t zip up before my treatments. AMAZING! See process and to book a free consult HERE. Continue reading →
