Last weekend Danny and I got together with some of our favorite people to have a good old fashioned barbecue and watch the fights (let’s be honest the fight was just background noise while I caught up with my girlfriends). Lately Danny and I have been talking a lot about how important it is that we both make time to see our friends. With life being…

Let me start by saying I am SO late to the skin care game. I have to admit I’m sort of the worst when it comes to skincare (may or may not have fallen asleep with my makeup on a time or two.. or ten). Lately I’ve been feeling like my skin always looks super tired and dry from the summer heat. I also have combination…

Dress: c/o Missy Empire | Bag: Asos | Shoes: c/o Le Château | Earrings: c/o Bauble Bar I had originally picked this dress up for Mexico but it also works wonderfully for a summer Vancouver day. I love the off the shoulder aspect and how you can wear it for pretty much any occasion. I kept with the Mexican theme with some fun drop earrings and a tassel clutch.  xx Tessa

Whenever Danny and I head on vacation, a comfy airport look is always a must. We have always been huge vans of Native and find they really are the best shoes for travelling, as I’ve mentioned before here. We recently picked up a couple new pairs for our vacation and I am in love with their new clay pink colour options, which I’m wearing above! I wore…

With Summer fast approaching it’s time to go back to the light side. I love switching up my hair, there’s nothing that makes me feel more refreshed and confident! Therefore, I dye my hair quite often – almost every fall I’ll go to an ombré, dark for winter, and come March, it’s time to start the cycle over again and go lighter. With all the colour…

I’m so excited to be partnering with teapigs to bring you this super refreshing Darjeeling Earl Grey mint iced tea recipe to help celebrate National Iced Tea Day happening this Saturday! Weekends are always super busy around the Garcia house so I wanted to keep this recipe simple and classic with a slight twist so you can whip these up in no time with ingredients you’ll likely find at home! …

With the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives, my good friend Sydney and I decided to play hookie and head to Whistler for the night for some much needed relaxation and overall quality girl time with Go Whistler. We had the most amazing time experiencing just the tip of what Whistler has to offer. Danny and I go to Whistler every year but always in…

With Mother’s Day coming up I thought I would share some of my favorite Mum-approved gifts from some amazing Canadian Etsy shops! Etsy is my go-to site for holidays like Mother’s Day because you can get so many unique and/or personalized gifts that you wouldn’t be able to find anywhere else. Shopping on Etsy also supports small and local businesses which is of course near and dear…
