The Instagram vs reality trap

October 29, 2018 No Comments

Social media can be motivating, exhausting and present a delusion of self comparison. We’ve all been there, scrolling when you see that perfect Insta model with her tiny waist and medically enhanced proportions, the guy in his new Range Rover or the couple who are on another free trip. Suddenly a feeling a dread washes […]

Girl Boss: How to use Hashtags on Instagram in 2018

July 24, 2018 1 Comment

What a hashtag is all about Recently Instagram changed their algorithm, not a surprise. The new algorithm is based on what type of content each user interacts with. Such as, if the user follows vegan bloggers and searches for vegan recipies on Instagram, that content will be shown more to that user than one who […]

First YouTube video is here!!

March 6, 2018 No Comments

Today I’m introducing my first Youtube video for Parker Kate! It’s a hot mess to say the least but it’s a start. I’ve struggled for YEARS to create a video and post it. I’ve created videos before, left them up for a day and taken them down. I defeated myself before I even got started. […]

  • This is one of my favourite ornaments on my tree. I love birds and swans (except for Canadian geese they're just evil). Birds are just one of the many symbols of hope I have in my life, which is why my Christmas tree is covered in them.

Do you have any special meaning to the ornaments on your tree?

  • It's DECEMBER!! I'm a tiny bit late, but what else is new?!? It's also #givingtuesday so I'm challenging you to do something nice each day for the next 30 days!! Hold a door open for a stranger, buy the order from the person behind you. Call that grandma who would love to hear from you or just walk your neighborhood dog...but ask first... My point is this time of year is stressful, happy, sad and joyful. Make the most of it and get ready for a new decade, a new year and happier life.

Enjoy it because 2020 is going to be a wild year!!

  • Played around with the new @hudabeautyshop @realhudabeauty Nude Obsessions Mini palettes in medium and rich and I'm pretty impressed with the quality for such little palettes! Easy to take with you and you can create a soft or dramatic look with each mini palette. 
Video will be on the weekend!

  • Hey Insta fam! It's been over two months since I've posted here on the feed! 
To be honest trying to keep up with Instagram among other platforms has been tough. I've been trying to stay in touch through Instagram Stories. 
My main focus besides starting a new job and family obligations, has been YouTube. I'm still new at figuring out on how to present my content through my videos. Just taking it one video at a time, experimenting.
If you want the link it's in my bio, go subscribe to join my journey. 
Today is #worldmentalhealthday and October is #breastcancer awareness month, topics which hit way too close to home. If you know anyone who is struggling reach out and check on them, or just keep a close eye on them. 
This year has been a hell of a year for everyone. I decided to not look at this year as a bad thing but as a regular year full of good and and not so good events. If you're having a great year or an off one, it's not a punishment and there is no reward system..shit happens and it's not in our control. You can only control how you will react to each situation and how to grow from it. 
Take it one day at a time, stop being so hard on yourself and others around you. We've all got struggles and we're all survivors of something. 
That's it for now, see you all soon!

  • I'm happy with how this look turned out!! I was shooting some transitional content for @parkerkatestyle which is my fashion account on Instagram that's launching soon. 
I used the new @ctilburymakeup Airbrush Flawless Foundation and a few of other favourite products from her line. I loved the way the foundation applied, full coverage with a satin finish. 
I'm going film a proper #YouTube review and recreate this look using the exact products if you want to know more information stay tuned!! Makeup and photo by me.

  • The IllegalEyes Mascara by @doll10beauty is my go-to lately!! This mascara has been my current obsession for about 7 months. It lengthens, adds volume and gives your lashes a doll like flare. 😍😍 If you want a live demonstration watch my latest IGTV video in the post before to see.👍 OR you can give it a try yourself by clicking the affiliate link in my BIO and you'll get $15 off your purchase of $45. 😱😱 Please note that as an affiliate I do receive a small comission from any purchases. This does not directly affect the price or anything for the consumer. 
I would also never recommend a product that I don't use, love and have tried for myself. I think transparency with my audience is above all else. This post is not sponsored.
