I love me a good f***y pack 😃

Okay, people. Not sure if it’s cool or not, but I’ve been definitely feeling the old school, wrap around your hips, f***y pack. I was using my lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag across my chest for the longest time, copied all the cool kids…but now, I’m going back to my youth and loving it! Essentials on me and perfect for mom life.

Who is with me? 😆

Things I did this week to fill my cup as a teacher on Summer Break. ☀️

1. Took extra time with skincare ex. Morning eye masks
2. Got my hair done. I had zero time during the last half of the school year…
3. Stopped by ✨ South Surrey • White Rock Brow & Skin Specialists for my monthly brow wax. Drove peacefully instead of pedal to the metal after school.
4. Went for my monthly nail fill in the morning with my daughter. Didn’t have to go in the evening after a long workday.

Still lots of things to check off on my Summer to-do list. Teacher/Mom life during the year leaves me running like a crazy lady. I’m happy to have some pockets of time now to chip away and try to get organized at home.

Any fellow teachers/school staff feel me?

✨ 3 beauty products I always come back to ✨

Over the years, I’ve learned that great skin isn’t about having a million products… it’s about finding the ones that actually work for you. 🤍

These three have earned a permanent spot in my routine:

✨ Paula’s Choice Exfoliant — my go-to for clear, brighter-looking skin
✨ La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum — hydration + that plump, healthy glow
✨ Virtue Flourish Density Booster — a little extra love for stronger, fuller-looking hair

Simple steps, consistent routine, and products that make me feel my best 💕

What beauty product is a MUST in your routine? 👇

…and our ZFC💜 community does it AGAIN💜

It’s official. This year’s 13th annual Zumbathon For Cancer has raised $17,005 all because of YOU! On Friday, June 5th over 330 members of this community stormed the Fleetwood Park gym for a one hour, energy-pumping Zumba-filled night. Anything is possible when we come together and dream big. It is because of our united fight and this common dream that we have raised over $100,000 in total donations towards the BC Cancer Foundation .

To our ZFC community, all I can say is THANK YOU and see you next year! 😘
