Casper Beauty Sleep Style Challenge

Hello everyone! We hope you all are having an absolutely AMAZING holiday season, celebrating all of your respective holidays!

We recently learned that January 3rd is the Festival of Sleep! IKR, who knew? In light of this we were invited, by a wicked company called Casper, to participate in their Beauty Sleep Style Challenge. Of course we jumped at the chance, because it involves two of the most important things in life: cute PJs, and beauty sleep!

12 Days of Christmas | Christmas Keepsakes

The holidays are the perfect time to make memories with your family that you'll remember forever.

When we first moved into our house 15 years ago, we had to get a new tree and decorations for Christmas. All of the cousins signed their own blue ornament in a silver gel pen. We each wrote our name and date of birth on them. 15 years later we still have them up on the tree. 

                  

Another cute thing we have is matching t-shirts. We went one year to Michael's and they had a t-shirt making class. We each got a green shirt and they had different colour fabric paint available for us to use. We decided on the Christmas tree design with our name on the sleeve. 


These things are so cute and you can keep them forever ! We love them, hope it gave you guys some inspirations. Feel free to share your family traditions with us, we'd love to hear them ! Merry Christmas Eve ! <3 xx

12 days of Christmas | Gift Exchange Ideas!

Welcome to Day 8 of our 12 Days of Christmas series! It's always a bit hard to think of a Secret Santa gift. Especially if it's a Yankee gift exchange! Or, if it's one where you might not know the person very well. So we decided to give you guys some general ideas of some great gifts!

HEADPHONES
Headphones are always a good idea. We're always losing them! (At least I am...) and you can never have too many spare pairs. You can get someone a luxury pair like Beats by Dre or if your budget is smaller, Sony has a great pair of affordable quality earbuds that do the trick!

12 days of Christmas! | Creative Gifts this Holiday!

It's time for Day 7 of our series! A lot of the time here on GNL we focus on clothes for gifts. We love clothes, duh! But there are so many other options people! We love to get creative here, so let’s look into some cool options for gift ideas this season.

      Personalized Gifts
It could be a letter on a keychain or an engraved pendant, but personalized gifts are always so sentimental! Another great idea for a personalized gift is a photo album. I know that as I get older, when people ask me what I want for my birthday or christmas, I start to think and realize that I don't want anything. I have multiple dresses, makeup, books etc. I'd rather have something sentimental! And if you have anyone in your family that's the same way, and doesn't need more material possessions, then a personalized gift is the perfect choice!

So we decided to make a list of our favourite fun things to do during the holidays!

12 Days of Christmas | Dealing with your crazy family during the holidays!

It's Day 5 of our 12 Days of Christmas series! Crazy family members. We all have them. Those crazy relatives you’re not looking forward to seeing over the holidays. Whether they pinch your cheeks, make awkward comments or are just plain old crazy/annoying/unbearable in some way, we’ve all got someone we’d just rather not be around, who’s unfortunately in our family. It’s okay, you’re not expected to get along with everyone, and it doesn’t make you a bad person. But, during the holidays it’s possible you may be around these people for hours, days or maybe even weeks on end. So how can you deal?! Well let me tell you:

12 Days of Christmas | Favourite Christmas Albums

Welcome to Day 1 of our 12 Days of Christmas! Today we're talking about our five fave Christmas Albums. What's the Christmas season without a little music to set the mood, right? 

  
 Home for Christmas, ‘N SYNC
Okay OBVIOUSLY this is on the list because let’s be real, ‘Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays’ is everyone’s real favourite Christmas song. Also, the three of us used to try to replicate their wonderous ‘O Holy Night’ harmonies (it’s a five part harmony, what?) year upon year of our entire adolescence, so this album is definitely near and dear to our little musical hearts. If you want to instantly flashback to the Christmases of your childhood, ‘N SYNC is your best bet.

Travels | Scotland DAY 1: The Highlands and Edinburgh at night!

Hi everyone! I promised myself that this time I went to London for work, I would take more advantage of the fact that I was in Europe and actually travel for fun! (And not just for work!) So my first little trip this time around was to Scotland. I can honestly say my friend Shirley and I just wanted to go on a little trip for fun, but we chose Scotland mostly because it was somewhere close and easy to get to. After travelling there I realized how underrated it is! It's such an amazing country with so much culture and so much to see. I hope you get a taste of it from my post and maybe one day you get a change to go! 


Shirley and I stayed in an adorable Airbnb apartment, which ended up being awesome. The place had so much character, the host was awesome and it had everything we needed. I strongly recommend using Airbnb if your'e going to Edinburgh because there are some amazing places all very close to the downtown core and so much cheaper than a hotel.

Tech | Tile


Hey y'all! It's Tech Tuesday! Last week I was surfing the web and stumbled upon an ad on the side (it wasn't a virus LOL) that said "For the people in your life who are always losing their keys". Intrigued, I clicked and it took me to this website for something called "Tile".

Music Monday | 2014 Forest Hills Drive - J Cole

SURPRISE SURPRISE! I wandered on to J Cole's website..because I love him like that..and I realized we've never done a #musicmonday on his new album! If you don't already new, I love J Cole! He's definitely one of my favourite mainstream rappers. He's a classic, he tells a story and it's not just about the punchlines. I'm so excited for this album! He's not releasing any singles, just the full album.

He released this "trailer" from the album, which makes me even more excited!

Workout Wednesday | Workout tips for beginners!

Hi guys! I'd like to start off this post by saying I am NOT AT ALL an expert on working out, but I've learned some tips over the last 2 years that helped me A LOT in the gym. Because of my career, I've been trying to become someone who lives a much healthier lifestyle, and that includes trying to become someone who works out very frequently. I'm not exactly there yet, but I'm slowly getting there - and I've learned some really valuable tips along the way that I thought I would share. Maybe it'll help anyone else out there trying to become more serious with their fitness!

After getting a trainer, I really began to "get it", if you will. So the majority of my tips are from my time working out with her, but also what I learned from my friends who work out DAILY and from numerous fitness blogs and such. These tips are probably going to sound super simple and not at all specific, but that's because they're for people like me; beginners who need that push to help get them in the right direction and make their transition into serious fitness that much easier! Here goes...

1. BE CONSISTENT
This is the tip I'm still struggling with, I'm not consistent at all. But truly it's the most important. I know for my body, if I haven't worked out for even 2 days, I start to see it regress backwards. Your muscles need consistency to see continuous change and progress! In other words, you can't half-ass it. You can't workout once a week and expect to see massive differences, it's a lifestyle. That being said though, everyone works at their own pace, so maybe one workout a week is where you start. But just remember it's about making it a lifestyle and making your health a priority. If you want to see progress, most people incorporate AT THE LEAST 2-3 workouts a week!

Web Wednesday | Stay With Me (Cover)

OKAY, HI! So, I stumbled upon a cover of "Love on Top" by a singer/songwriter named Leroy Sanchez a few years ago and listened to it incessantly. I thought his voice was SO GOOD. You could tell he was such a talented singer.

Fast forward to last night: I get a notification on my phone from Twitter saying ""@IAmLeroySanchez" followed @OfficialGNL". The name clicked and I freaked out because I remembered listening to that cover years ago. So I went back to his Youtube page and listened to the Beyoncé cover and some others.

His cover of Sam Smith's "Stay With Me" was beautiful, so I thought I'd share. Enjoy!


Leroy has a single called "Little Dancer" on iTunes so go check that out! & You can follow him on Twitter, subscribe to his Youtube channel, and like him on Facebook!

Have a great Wednesday!

Music Monday | FOUR

HELLO! I don’t even know where to begin with this weeks’ Music Monday. Today marks the release of One Direction’s fourth studio album, appropriately titled FOUR. 

They’ve been super excited to surprise people with their new sound, and they’ve succeeded. People who heard the album prior to it’s release have been pleasantly surprised (not being fans themselves). So obviously we were anxious to hear what the buzz was about.

Web Wednesday | True Love

This isn't REALLY a viral vid, it's Coldplay performing "True Love" off their album, Ghost Stories.  No, I didn't want to wait until #MusicMonday to share. And yes, I've cried every time I've watched it. The intimate setting, the atmosphere, the set, everything is perfect. When Will comes in on drums, it's magical. Also, Chris Martin's falsetto is my religion. 
Enjoy!

30 Day Wall Sit Challenge

Hola !

I feel like I haven't been on here in a million years.

And school strikes again ! Between work and school, I really haven't had time for much. Unfortunately that includes working out. This became mighty apparent when we were running late for our cousin's wedding and had to run up a steep flight of stairs in 5 inch heels - not fun. Let me tell you, my thighs were on fire. NOT A GOOD SIGN PEOPLE. So for all of you slackers out there like myself, I am inviting you to join me for a 30-day wall sit challenge courtesy of 30dayfitnesschallenges.com

Tuesdays Tune ? | Ed Sheerans - Thinking Out Loud

So we kind of missed Music Monday but this video is just too wonderful to wait another 6 days.

Let me start by saying, I was NOT ready for this. Ed Sheeran released the music video for "Thinking Out Loud" last week and I'm in l o v e. It's an amazing song to begin with and now it has an utterly perfect video to go with it. Congrats to whoever came up with the concept, gold stars for you.

He's all dressed up, looking as dashing as ever AND he's ballroom dancing....does it get any better than this ? Who even knew Ed could dance like that ? He's definitely got some hidden talents. I think it's safe to say all those hours of training really paid off, because he has got some sweet moves. Someone please tell me where I sign up to ballroom dance with Ed. That's now the dream.



So thank you Ed, for surprising everyone with those incredible dance moves and a wonderful video, it is greatly appreciated. Enjoy your Tuesday's Tune everyone, hope you enjoy it as much as I did ! :)

Packing for a short trip!

Hey guys! As you know, with my job I get to travel a lot! Sometimes it's for very short periods of time, so I've gotten into a routine of packing that's efficient, fast and easy - so I thought I'd share it with you all. along with some tips I've learned about packing! 


First things first (I'm the realest..JOKES I DESPISE THAT SONG!) haha, but seriously first things first this is my carry-on sized suitcase that I use for short trips. This particular trip I'm packing for is for a four day stay in Montreal. I've had this suitcase for YEARS. It's not necessarily the newest, but it's an awesome size and it does the job.

VARSHA | 10 Things I Want To Tell My Younger Self

Here are some things I wish I knew, or wish someone told me when I was younger. They're just little things I wish I could change, or could have somehow heard my future self say. I don't regret anything at all, that's not what this post is about - it's just about advice I would have given myself back then if I had the chance.

  1. Grades are NOT the be all end all. They are NOT representative of the kind of person you are. They are NOT representative of your intelligence, or self worth. Getting a 60% on one math test, in one class, in tenth grade is not going to ruin your life. Strive to be the best you can, that's all anyone can ask for.
  2. He is NOT the be all end all. You loved him, and now he's gone. Do not let this ruin you. Do not let this break you. This pain is temporary, despite how permanent it may seem. It's okay to be in a bad place every so often, as long as you don't stay there forever. He's happy. You deserve to be too. There's life past all the shitty stuff, I promise. 
  3. Use that pain to do something constructive. Don't stop doing things you loved. Write songs. Paint. Play Music. Practice, practice, practice, practice, practice. Spend more time improving yourself, and less time wondering who's dating who, and who's fighting about what. It's not important in the long run.

SHIVANI | 10 Things I Want To Tell My Younger Self!


Here's some things I wish I knew, or wish someone told me when I was younger. They're just little things I wish I could change, or could have somehow heard my future self say. I don't regret anything at all, that's not what this post is about - it's just about advice I would have given myself back then if I had the chance. 
  1. Just stop worrying. Stop worrying about your marks, or what your friends think, or boys. Just relax Shivani. You're such a worrywart! Let yourself go and just let things be. 
  2. On that note, realize that you can say no to things. You don't need to do every favour people ask for, or join every club/organization, take some more time to focus instead of splitting yourself a million ways.
  3. Fight the power a little more. Sometimes you get a bit complacent, don't be afraid to speak up or challenge something. For some reason when you were even younger you'd say what you wanted without caring what people thought. Somewhere along the way you lost that. You don't always have to be neutral.

It's a fashion blog run by two of my beautiful friends Anh and Linh Pham (they're sisters too!). They do many different types of posts: OOTDS, tips and trends, how to's, style guides and much more! I LOVE their blog. The photography is impeccable and their style is on point! It's also very organized, which of course is important when running a blog.

Workout Wednesday | Alternatives to crunches and sit-ups!

Hey everyone! I found some cool alternatives to regular crunches and sit-ups that work your abs just as hard! If you're like me, when I first started working out I had no idea what to do in the gym. Then after getting a personal trainer and doing a lot of research I found out the best way to workout for my body and so many variations of different exercises!

For me, my stomach is one of my problem areas. I want to look more toned and lean. These exercises help with that!

NOTE: Before you start doing exercises make sure you warm up and do at least 15-20 minutes of cardio to get your heart rate up!

Recipe | Easy Spinach Salad

As easy as it is to say, "I eat healthy food", it's actually (at least in my experience) pretty difficult to be creative, and make ACTUAL healthy for that tastes good. The more and workout and steer myself away from carbs and sugar, I started to find that there a number of different ways you could make a really yummy and healthy salad.

I saw some great healthy salads on Pinterest, Tumblr and Instagram and I realized as long as certain flavours don't clash, you can pretty much mix anything raw or cooked into your salad and it'll taste pretty darn good.

So, I thought I'd share this one simple recipe that I concocted whilst I was traveling, and I ended up loving it and making it numerous times. It tasted great and I made sure it was healthy.

TIP: Try to keep all of the ingredients in your salad as raw and uncooked as possible, even when you slightly steam your vegetables they immediately start to lose enzymes and nutritional value, so keep that in mind!

Recipe | Lazy Days White Wine Sangria

Hello my loves !

So this past weekend was very busy and tiring. It was caribana weekend in Toronto AND we had tickets to see One Direction, so we were all over the place ! Although I was sick, I couldn't resist going out and having a good time ! Well, it's Wednesday now and I'm still sick, feeling super lazy and really bored. Having leftover alcohol and some fruit laying around, I decided, why not make some sangria ?! :)

Personally, I prefer white wine sangria. I was so happy when I found some at home. If you don't have any white wine, red wine is just as good. I would just switch out the ginger ale for sprite :) This is super easy to make, you're basically just pouring everything in and mixing it together.

Travels | Montreal: Part I

Hey dolls,
I recently went on a trip to Montreal for work, and it was SO AWESOME! I didn't even realize that there was so much culture and so much going on so CLOSE to me! Naturally, I took a lot of pictures and I vlogged - so look forward to that! But for now, I'll share with you some pictures from my trip and any advice or suggestions I can give about travelling to Montreal..I hope you enjoy :)


One of my favourite attractions in Montreal is the park and trail to the top of Mount Royal. The man who designed this park and trail is the same guy who designed Central Park in New York City! As well, the city of Montreal got it's name from this mountain, as you can see the entire city of Montreal from the top.

Event | Opening of Parloque with Flare Magazine

Hey guys!! Last week we went to the opening of an awesome new boutique downtown called Parloque. This event was held by Flare Magazine and we were so excited to be there! We were so in love with the layout of the store and the way the brands were organized. With a women's section in the front and a separate men's room in the back, all of the items were organized by designer and made it very easy to shop. What we also loved was that there were only a few items by each designer. This made shopping simple, and demonstrated how selective they were with what they chose to display and sell.
