The Week in Photos & "PEP TALK" Lipstick Winner

Happy Friday my High Heeled Life lovelies!! Have you been enjoying the fabulous sunshine filled days we have been blessed with? And the warmer temperatures too.

The week started off with International Women's Day on March 8th. Mr. G surprised me with mimosa flowers and a beautiful card that read "When I think of you, I am Inspired".  The custom of giving the mimosa flower can be traced back to Italy around 1946. The flowers were intended to be given as a sign of respect and appreciation for women. 

I had a fabulous girls afternoon with a new friend. We enjoyed afternoon tea at Windsor Arms and a trip to Hermes in Yorkville! One is never too old to make new friends.

 The sunshine and warmer days - were a perfect excuse to escape from the HHL home office and head to Tasaa tea shop on the Danforth!

 Dolce and Gabbana had a long overdue trip to the groomers. I always chuckle at how different Dolce looks - and little Gabbana who doesn't look much different afterwards.

And sometimes ... Mac N Cheese from Pusateri's is a perfect start to a day. Yup, that's how I roll sometimes...

To me lipstick has always held a transformative power. In the early days of recovering post accident and pre-new elbow, my right hand could not touch my face (it would be almost 2 years before I would receive my new elbow). Applying make-up on myself became ancient history - but lipstick, a friend pointed out I could apply with my left hand. And lipstick became my friend. I recall feeling a sense of accomplishment whenever I applied lipstick and the emotional lift I got when I saw my reflection in the mirror. Truly amazing how a little tube of colour for your lips can have so much power. And now it can help the lives of many women in need.

Canadian Fashion Designer Hayley Elsaesser and MYNC Beauty team up to bring you a limited edition lipstick in “Pep Talk” for Toronto Fashion Week, with 100% of proceeds benefiting Dress for Success Toronto. Lipstick available to purchase in store and online.
