Bonjour mes amies! It's possible to have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear. Creating a wardrobe that you love doesn't require an unlimited amount of money. Prior to having disposable income, my closet was the epitome of a capsule wardrobe. I had a minimal amount of garments, but those who didn't know [...]
Bonjour mes amies ! As a follow-up to my skincare routine, I want to continue the subject of self-care. If no other impression is left behind from Cappuccinos & Consignment (besides my style, tee hee), let it be love. Self-love Self-love is not selfish. It's a necessity. You can't properly love others if you don't [...]
Bonjour mes amies! For months mes amies on Instagram, have asked me to share my skincare routine. I've been super reluctant to do so for multiple reasons. Un. I'm not a beauty blogger. Deux. For years my skin regime consisted of Clean & Clear avec Vaseline. Trois. Did I tell you about the pre-South Africa, [...]
It’s a sad reality, but for the most part, women are uncomfortable discussing money. Whether that be negotiating a raise or balancing one’s finances, so communicating the lack of funds or money owed can be downright dreadful. In this "Oh Wow, this is Awkward" Series, I will address uncomfortable money conversations and a strategy to [...]
"It's a no-brainer; I take photos all of the time for my blog and Insta." I thought to myself. I quickly learned that simple point and shoot photos via my smartphone would not make the printer cut for my book. Oui mes amies, I'm m writing a book. A few weeks ago, in my Instagram [...]
"OMG, you have a child?" Is something I've heard so often. "You travel... shop...(insert action verb) so much. I would've never known that." And then came the subtle shame. It was as if people were offended that I didn't disclose that I was a mother immediately after saying my name or didn't have photos of [...]
My blog post Everything that Glitters sparked so many exciting conversations about the faux side of Influencing. Via my Instagram stories (where I post daily, be sure to join me), I shared that I receive beaucoup offers for gifted or paid posts, yet I have not gone the #ad #sponsored route. When I started my blog two years ago, I had [...]
Bonjour mes amies! Let's address the magenta elephant in the room; it is a total coincidence that The Husband strikingly resembles (mon amour) Drake. Be that as it may, that has very little to do with my affinity for Toronto. This time (Feb 2020) last year I wanted authentic Indian food. Not the Indian food [...]
Bonjour mes amies! I have been terrified to officially launch the Cappuccinos and Consignment YouTube channel. If you're a "mes amies" on Instagram, you will know that I post videos every day. But there's something très, très different about posting on YouTube, a certain je ne sais quoi. Determined to face my fears and move [...]
Bonjour mes amies! Writing this post feels so good. I have missed blogging dearly. I am still on bloggers' "maternity leave," but I couldn't resist. This blog is apart of a series because price/luxury shaming is real: In Part Un, "You should Be Ashamed of Yourself: Price Shaming," I shared my very first experience with [...]
