I'm proud of my immigrant experience and presence. I'm proud of my immigrant experience and presence. Here's why.

*Cultural Exchange and Contribution* 
I offer diverse perspectives, traditions, and experiences that enrich the cultural fabric of my community and workplace. By sharing my heritage and learning from others, I contribute to a vibrant and inclusive society.

*Resilience and Adaptability*
Immigration often requires significant courage, adaptability, and perseverance. I  have developed remarkable resilience having navigated the Canadian and British environments, language, and customs, often overcoming challenges to build a new life. Twice! This social media channel is one of the ways in which I try to share that resilience with others with words of wisdom and encouragement.

*Personal Growth and Opportunity* Immigration can be a transformative experience that fosters personal growth, self-discovery, and new opportunities. Immigrants often pursue education, career advancement, and social mobility, creating a better life for me and my family.

Being proud to be an immigrant means embracing one's unique experiences, celebrating cultural diversity, and recognizing the strengths and contributions that immigrants bring to their communities.

Building a capsule wardrobe? Don't forget about yo Building a capsule wardrobe? Don't forget about your bags! Develop an eye for functional design, durable materials and high-quality construction; think timeless and useful. The capsule approach always has sustainability in mind.

Depending on your capsule wardrobe colour palette, you can select conformity or contrast with your bags. My capsule wardrobe is very neutral so I opt for bags which contrast with bright pops of colour.

Finally, put your bags to optimal work for you and your lifestyle. Can your work bag double as a travel bag? Would you take that cute clutch on vacation?

If you have any questions, please drop them in the comments.

Get crisp, professional results with the power of Get crisp, professional results with the power of starch!  Discover how ironing with starch can help you achieve:

- Wrinkle-free fabrics
- Crisp collars and cuffs
- Long-lasting garment shape
- Professional-looking clothes
- A polished look

Dr. Beckmann Magic Leaves Laundry Detergent Sheets and Easy Iron & Starch are two essentials in my laundry cupboard. I love how streamlined, lightweight and spill-free the detergent sheets are.

The secret sauce is applying the starch to fresh out of the washing machine damp clothes to save drying time and produce the best results. The starch will sink further into damp fabric than it would into dry fabric.
 
My clothes are ready to wear the next day after the thicker seams fully dry overnight.

Give this method a try and be prepared to join the polished set! 💕

Dressing professionally in a corporate setting doe Dressing professionally in a corporate setting doesn't have to mean sacrificing style for conformity. Here are some tips to help you look cool and professional:

• First, understand the foundations of the corporate dress code... tailored suits or dresses, trousers or chinos with button-down shirts, knee-length or below skirts with blouses with subtle details like ruffles or bow ties. Classic shoes in neutral shades; mid-heels or flats for comfort and professionalism.

• Understand the dress code expectations of your industry and company culture.

• To introduce an element of cool, play with the foundations using colour, structure (like these barrel-leg trousers) and patterns (leopard print heels).

• Choose high-quality fabrics that enhance your appearance and offer durability.

• Well-fitting clothing is key to looking polished and professional.

• Pay attention to details: ensure your outfit is clean, ironed, and well-maintained to project professionalism.

By following these tips, you'll be able to dress cool and professional in the corporate environment, making a lasting impression while staying true to yourself.

For warmer spring evenings, I've been wearing Moon For warmer spring evenings, I've been wearing Moonlight Patchouli by Van Cleef & Arpels. This sophisticated fragrance combines luminous rose with rich patchouli, creating a captivating scent for the season. With notes of Bulgarian rose, iris flower, suede, and leather, it's perfect for those who crave elegance and mystery. 

I layer it over Lush's Braziliant Body Butter, a rich and softening blend of brazil nut oil, murumuru butter, and cacao butter. It's a perfect base to increase the staying power of the eau de parfum.
