City Love: Canada's National Capital

Situated between the border of Ontario and Quebec, the fourth largest city in Canada is its capital - Ottawa.

It may not be the first city that comes in mind when people think of Canada but it should be.

Why?

It has everything an old/new vibrant global city has to offer.

Reflections: Fix You

When you try your best but you don't succeed…
When you get what you want but not what you need…
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep…
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face…
When you love someone but it goes to waste…
Could it be worse?

THANN Review: The Amazing THANN SHISO Facial Serum

Though not a subject I am particularly fond of talking about, aging is a very natural process, all of us - rich or poor, regardless of where we are from and what language we speak - have to go through. There are so many wonderful things that come with maturity yet, there are also those rather unpleasant side effects like slowing metabolism and why worst nightmare - dull, lifeless and wrinkled skin.
