Tell us a bit about yourself to start.
I’m a Toronto girl raised with a deep love for music, massive respect for the shoulders I stand on, obsession with those who show up fully as themselves and a commitment to always inviting everyone to the party.
How do you use your platform to impact those who follow you?
The biggest compliment I get when I meet someone in person is when they say, “OMG you’re just like you are online!” I use my platform to impact others by being honest, present, curious and inclusive. If I’m invited to do something kinda cool I show it—not to show off but to bring you into the experience as well. I hope my corner of the Internet makes you feel BETTER when you watch it: inspired, connected, hopeful.
What’s your personal style/beauty mantra?
Style is access to the possibility of who you are; I’m so passionate about inclusivity! If you don’t make the size or the shade, you’re not just denying someone an outfit or glam, you’re denying someone what they are going to DO in it. That first date that could turn into the love of their life, the job interview into their dream job … make the damn size, make the damn shade.
O, Christmas! Are you a holly jolly junkie?
I couldn’t love this time of year any more than I already do! Holly jolly all the way! I’m also a Sagittarius (and am a big birthday person) so December is just the best. Who doesn’t like life with a side of TWINKLE?!
How will you be spending the holidays this year?
We’ll be home in Ontario visiting family and then taking off for a little sunshine after Santa does his work.
What’s your fave type of gift to give … and do you give back in any way?
I love giving either experience gifts or customized prezzies. It’s all about intention and thoughtfulness and one rule I have in my family is that we can only open one present at a time—because I don’t want to miss any reactions! We give back as a family; it’s so important to share that way of being with the kids. I am very grateful to be able help as i can becaude THAT is the true meaning of Christmas.
Wish time: what is at the very top of your personal gift list?
Travel, always. And, I can’t believe I’m going to admit this (because you know you’re a grown up when …) but I really want a pressure washer. That back patio won’t know what hit it in the spring!
