Sunny Smiles
They say when the sun smiles, we do too. The glistening light, the warmness that touches our faces, the tingle in our hearts—it’s all connected. Yet, the authenticity of such a statement tends to be questioned more often than not. Is it truly what impacts our day, or in other words, what determines the mood of each day? Or, is this in a sense a myth, an ideology programmed and imbedded into our minds by society? There is a stigmatism that eludes from darkness and an over whelming feeling of peace and calmness that is affiliated with light. So, is this conception really a deception? Have we been fooled by general associations of such two contrasts? If we analyze this it becomes apparent how we naturally make these connections; engaging in habit. In pictures where a sun is drawn is normally considered joyful, yet drawn clouds of darkness are considered dreadful. In songs referencing the sun, is crediting happiness, yet songs discussing storms are dictating sadness. In movies the protagonist is usually dressed in light colors, yet the antagonist is dressed in dim colours. It is a psychological trigger that has been engraved from birth. Why though? What has brewed up this perception to begin with? These interpretations are not entertained from nothing—it is a true belief; it is nature’s greatest medicine. The sun doesn’t cease to rise, but neither to set. Ultimately, we create our own ‘sunshine’.

André Beauregard – Canus
Customer service is always important and, in this case, it was life-changing. He listened to his client and didn’t just hear a request, but rather he saw potential for a business opportunity. That potential combined with hard work resulted in the birth of Canus, the leading fresh goat’s milk heath and beauty products company. Based on our interview with the founder, Andre Beauregard, it seems 20 year later he is just as dedicated to his customers and clients.

Binny Ahluwalia Of Baked By Binny
Most people have hobbies, but very few people take their hobbies and turn into successful businesses. One of these few people include Binny Ahluwalia, the owner, founder and baker behind Baked by Binny, a business that offers banking services with a focus on luxury cakes and delicious desserts. With it being wedding season, we have wedding fever and our favourite part of a wedding is the dessert table, which seems Binny is an expert on. So, we took the chance to ask her all the details about her very yummy business and journey so far.

Rohingya Refugee Crisis - Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh & World Food Programme
She describes the current situation like, “a never-ending camping trip from hell with no supplies and the monsoons are coming”. Despite the efforts from the World Food Programme (WFP) and numerous other organizations, the Rohingya refugee crisis in Cox’s Bazar is far from over.
Mom & Dad
Get ready, it’s that time of year when posts with mom and dad or about mom and dad are going to start popping up on your news feeds. While the people in our lives that act as our caregivers should not only be celebrated on one day, having specific days set aside for them is a good reminder to cherish and appreciate them. By appreciate and cherish, we don’t just mean posting a picture of them online and saying a few nice words. They deserve much more than that and so we have compiled a few suggestions for both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day that are great ways of showing them an instance of your love.

TFW/BTS: Triarchy
I step out of the subway on a late Monday afternoon, trudging through the snow down Avenue Road, catching glimpses of fellow Toronto Fashion Week attendees. We all gravitate towards the red carpet like a moth to a flame. I step inside and am swept up staircases, past security checkpoints and velvet couches; models elegantly sipping Fiji water from straws between sittings. Today is the first day of Toronto Fashion Week and backstage is buzzing with energy. We had the opportunity to chat with makeup artist Simone Otis, industry legend whose portfolio ranges from the infamous “Got Milk?” ads to Vogue, who was awarded the best editorial makeup artist of the year at the P&G Beauty Awards. Simone partnered up with beautyBoutique by Shoppers Drug Mart and was responsible for the looks behind Triarchy, a sustainable luxury denim brand based out of Toronto and LA spearheaded by brother sister duo Ania and Adam Taubenfligel.
Narces - Nikki Wirthensohn Yassemi
The pattern of after-five outfits did not conclude with UNTTLD on the first day of TFW, Narces presented its incomparable line of meticulously crafted gowns and dresses shortly after. A specialist of vêtements de soirée, head designer Nikki Yassemi exhilarated her audience with unique mesh pieces embellished with ruffles and fringe that are completely fresh to the common eye. SHE met with the dressmaker after showcasing her glamorous collection on the runway, which was heavily inspired by her mother’s early works and strong personal desire to be innovative.
