A few weeks ago I sat down and had a chat with Kevin Kelly from The Newfoundland Herald at a local
coffee shop. The Herald is Newfoundland’s #1 magazine and covers everything from music to local
restaurants to fashion. My parents would always buy this magazine when I was a kid and I always
flipped through the pages. [...]

Shoppers has lifted my spirits yet again! The Shoppers Drug Mart on Lakeshore and Fourth street is now selling Joico K-PAK shampoo and conditioner for just $19.99 each!
K-PAK was origionally a salon brand but is now sold at select department store locations, such as Shoppers. If you were to purchase a bottle of this amazing [...]

I am a huge animal lover, so a few years back when I discovered an organization called PETA I couldn’t have been more thrilled. PETA stands for “People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals” and are well known for their strong beliefs in the well being of those animals.
It wasn’t until recently that I have [...]

A friend of mine has recently introduced me to the new HBO series True Blood. It is currently in it’s second season of production, so I have been watching it online to get caught up so I can watch each episode as they air on TV. I finished watching the entire first season a [...]

Yesterday was the opening of the Canadian National Exhibition so my friend and I decided to partake in the excitement. The CNE, also knowen as “The EX” is open from August 21st-September 7th and it is something most people look forward to every year.
This year there is a Garnier tent set up near the Lakeshore entrance that [...]

Yess Summer actually has arrived! The weather has been unbelievable for the past week and a half with everyday in the high 20’s-low 30’s! It has been prime time to hit the beach! I hope you all have been enjoying the heat as much as I have, (now that I have AC to escape to..haha). My [...]

For those of you who live in Toronto and the GTA you know exactly what the title is referring to, but is summer finally here? I sure hope so! We have all been waiting months for the tempature to rise and decide to stay hot, and by the looks of things for this upcoming week, [...]

There is always a “best” or an “easy” way to do things. The “How To” section is going to do just that, provide you with the best and or easy ways to get things done!
Sneek peak at the first topic:
“How to find an Apartment”
For many of you it’s that dreaded [...]

I’ve added another new page to this website titled “MY ESSENTIALS.” It consists of the contents of my makeup bag, which is part one of my essentials. More to come gradually.
I created the page because I have been getting asked frequently about which makeup I wear. To be honest, the questions kind of caught me [...]

This year the Toronto Jazz Festival is currently taking place at Nathan Philip Square-Downtown Toronto. It started June 26th and is running until July 5th.
I highly suggest taking part in the fun and checking out the music, as it is one of the city’s largest musical events.
Jazz Fest also consists of tons of talented jewelry [...]

I was handed an event flyer for Portobello East from a friend.  I was intrigued, so in typical Julia style, I did a little research.
Portobello East is market with a unique twist. It consists of a wide variety of vendors such as art (of course!), clothing, jewelry and accessories which are all from local designers [...]

Late night working on lifeinheels.com

Yes I know its Summer, but that doesn’t mean I will stop wearing my slippers! After a long day in heels, my feet thank me when I insert them into my pink La Senza slippers. A well deserved rest for my tired footsies!
La Senza is my favorite place to shop for PJ’s [...]

This year was the second annual Ecosavvy Festival in Toronto and I had the privilege to be apart of the  festivities. The runway show was held at Mel Lastman Square under a row of trees, which I believe was a great idea because of the theme.
Being a model in the show was a last minute [...]

I consider bathroom stall writing to be pretty amusing. Usually the grungier the place the better the writings. It’s always interesting to read what people were thinking and what they have to share with the world, even if it is totally stupid and pointless.
I’ve seen everything from silly quotes, bathroom jokes to random sentences and [...]

I love shopping at Forever 21, but up until recently I’ve never noticed the biblical reference on the bottom of their bags. “John 3:16″. So I did a little research. The founder of Forever 21, Do-Won Chang, had “John 3:16″ printed on the bags because he wanted to show a reflection his Christian faith.
Religious beliefs [...]

This is an update to blog post “Smelly City“.
It’s been over a month since the city has gone on strike and so far I have heard nothing on the issue being resolved. This is getting ridiculous, Toronto is a mess! The trash is swallowing the streets and sidewalks causing a number of issues, which is [...]

While walking in the Toronto area this ad on a street pole caught my attention, “Adopt or Foster Kitties.”
I am a huge animal lover, but unfortunately I cannot have pets in my building. It breaks my heart to see homeless animals in shelters. I want to do what I can to get them out of [...]
