This Lewis N Clark was an absolute must. It was perfect for those mishapen bottles, but it also held everything I could want and need in travel size format. I never had an issue during checkins, and best of all with the TSA stamp of approval, getting through security was a breeze. At just <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0089OKCK2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1">$5.99</a> Canadian its another one to add to the list. </div>

This <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00MGGYM3C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1">Sunland Quick Dry Towel </a>was a godsend for the beaches, or when a typical towel was unavailable for rent. I splurged on towels where i went because no one wants a waterlogged towel stinking up the pack. However, the carrying case made it easy to add a few other things for the beach, such as a journal and sunscreen. </div>

Nowadays, most cellphones have a builtin flashlight. I would venture to say it may not be needed.

These are just a few of the essentials I traveled with and was so thankful to have them. I used every single one of these items constantly on my trip, if not daily. For those of you who may have a little time before leaving, Amazon was where I purchased most of these items, but don't overlook your local sport or adventure shop. You may find things on sale and get a better bang for your buck. </div>

I had planned on writing and documenting my travels when I
left just a year ago for my travels to South East Asia – I set out with my
camera, my phone and of course, a wonderful book to write all of my thoughts and
travel fun along the way. But here’s the thing. While I documented all of it, I
was consumed by life and thoroughly enjoyed each and every moment of living the
experiences while there. </div>

I have a sweet spot for Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. But the one thing that keeps me from scarfing down a whole batch is not only the sugar content, but the calories. So it was a no-brainer to try out my own recipe concoction when Truvia decided to send me some of their <a href="http://truvia.com/canada/products/truvia-brown-sugar-blend">Brown Sugar Blend</a> to try. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was thoroughly surprised that it had the texture, moisture like brown sugar, but with 75% fewer calories</div>

If you're wondering how this is possible, well Truvia is made with Stevia, a plant, which has been used to sweeten foods foods and beverages naturally. </div>

This is by far one of my favourite recipes and with half the calories of brown sugar, it may introduce itself as a treat more often! </div>

Directions:<br />
<ol>
<li>Heat over to 350. </li>
<li>Warm butter, mix in eggs and vanilla. </li>
<li>Add in Truvia Brown Sugar Blend until it is mixed well.</li>
<li>Mix the mixture with oats.</li>
<li>Then add in chocolate chips and banana.</li>
</ol>
The mixture will be sticky and may look a bit separated but dont worry, it will hold! Get a bit messy, use your hands and scoop them onto a cookie sheet. I did not have any wax paper left so I used foil. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Bake for 15-20 minutes based on how chewy you like them. Mixture should yield about 20-22 small cookies! <br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Alright let’s
talk dollars and cents here for a minute. As I mentioned <a href="http://www.thefinebalance.net/2015/08/north-navy.html">here</a>, I am embarking
on a three month journey traveling through South East Asia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the things I have been researching is
what is the best Credit Card and Debit Card to travel with as a Canadian? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As
Canadians, we don’t have too many options when it comes to avoiding foreign
transaction fees with most credit cards charging a 2.5-3% Foreign Currency
Exchange Fee. This means every time you purchase something in a different
currency, your bank charges you that 3%! Not okay. This about it this way, spend
$1,000 and tack on an additional $30 in fees? No thanks. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For additional views on this, take a look at
<a href="http://www.nomadwallet.com/best-credit-cards-for-travel-abroad/">Nomadic Matt</a> who talks about <a href="http://www.nomadwallet.com/best-credit-cards-for-travel-abroad/">this </a>very thing. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">For many of
us out there who are travelling on a budget, saving that 2.5% will help stretch
our Canadian Dollar just a bit more, especially when our dollar (August 2015)
is not doing so well. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Below are a
few options I have found with respect to Credit Cards and Debit Cards that may
help save some money on the road. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> It's by far not exhaustive but are some considerations:</span></span><br />

As with most things in life, every one needs a bit of balance, sometimes an outright hiatus, even if its from things we love. I've been stepping back from blogging lately not because I don't love this art form, but because life sometimes takes over and a choice has to be made on whether I'll get in that late run, or sit in front of the computer.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
But the reality is, that I have trully missed this. I'd like to promise that I will be blogging more frequently, but I would rather not make false promises. This is on my mind and my goal is to start slow with at least another post this month. </div>

I do have some exciting news and I know that I will be bringing you a different side to the blog, that hasn't been featured before. I am taking three months off to explore South East Asia. Can't wait to start bringing you posts on what to pack, what to leave behind, and my adventures on the road. One thing I know for sure, these mint green heels won't be making the cut.</div>

A few weeks ago, I was given the opportunity to try out a new product line that CLIF bars launched, called the <a href="http://www.clifbar.com/products/organic-trail-mix-bar/dark-chocolate">CLIF Organic Trail Mix Bar</a> to review. One word sums up this little treat OMG (or more like three)! These new bars are packed with flavour and my favourite thing in the world - CHOCOLATE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ToAJhW3CYoU/VVySgG6HzvI/AAAAAAAABVo/zK8fVLswyqE/s1600/blogger-image-1754070617.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ToAJhW3CYoU/VVySgG6HzvI/AAAAAAAABVo/zK8fVLswyqE/s640/blogger-image-1754070617.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
These tasty treats come in a variety of flavours including:</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Coconut Almond Peanut<br />
Cranberry Almond<br />
Dark Chocolate Almond Sea Salt<br />
Dark Chocolate Cherry Almond<br />
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter<br />
Dark Chocolate Pomegranate Raspberry</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Each one has such a unique taste ad flavour, but my absolute favourite was the dark chocolate and almond sea salt. TO DIE FOR! my least favourite, coconut almond peanut - probably because there was no chocolate involved ;)</div>

Each and every bar is made with organic ingredients and is less than 200 calories. In my books, that's pretty darn awesome for a treat/snack on the go. They are perfect for travel too. I ended up eating these little guys on the plane and in between long layovers! It felt good to be putting good things into my body rather than a bag of potato chips. Also they are gluten free! A Big Bonus in my books. </div>

Recently I was given a sample of Make Up For Ever's <a href="http://www.sephora.com/mist-fix-P386660?country_switch=ca&lang=en">Mist & Fix</a> to try. I have been a HUGE fan of all things Make Up Forever. From their <a href="http://www.thefinebalance.net/2015/01/make-up-forever-black-liner-review.html">Black Ink Liner</a>, to their <a href="http://www.thefinebalance.net/2013/09/make-up-forever-artisan-brush-collection.html">Artisan Brush Collection</a>, to their <a href="http://www.thefinebalance.net/2012/04/make-up-forever-ever.html">HD Foundation and Kit</a>. I was absolutely thrilled to try their Mist and Fix and use it with my daily makeup application routine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_PKIJW43eC8/VQTLTf-xg-I/AAAAAAAABUk/Y3N883Pf13o/s640/blogger-image-2047323194.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_PKIJW43eC8/VQTLTf-xg-I/AAAAAAAABUk/Y3N883Pf13o/s640/blogger-image-2047323194.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As someone who walks to work daily, the elements are always, if not harshly exposed to my skin. Whether its the blistering cold, the wind, and damp (early) spring days, I was really looking forward to something that would keep my makeup in place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZTCOoPOcYlY/VQTLU_STkFI/AAAAAAAABUs/KmUfW9mxqXE/s640/blogger-image--105042128.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZTCOoPOcYlY/VQTLU_STkFI/AAAAAAAABUs/KmUfW9mxqXE/s640/blogger-image--105042128.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was however a bit disappointed in this formula. For one thing, after three days of wearing the Mist & Fix, I did notice my skin started to break out. The formula is suposedly ideal for all skin types, but I have to say that it wasn't doing mine any favours. :(</div>
<br />
<b>PROS:</b><br />
Alcohol Free<br />
Light<br />
Price $34.00 for the large bottle, $14.00 for a travel side (available at Sephora)<br />
Did not feel sticky<br />
Dried quickly<br />
Dermatologist-tested<br />
<br />
<b>CONS:</b><br />
Made me break out (I have sensitive skin)<br />
Did not last the 12 hours I was hoping it would<br />
Did not see much of a difference<br />

Just like everyone else I am prone to making some fashion blunders along the way. This outfit was it for me. Too. Much. Purple. Don;t even get me started on the blazer. Some days, we can hit it right on the nose...other times, it can be too much of a good thing.<br />

<b>Kale:</b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Take your kale, wash, pat dry and chop.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Line baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with pam/or other cooking spray.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Lay kale flat on a cookie sheet.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Add salt and pepper to taste and squeeze fresh lemon over. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Bake at 400 for 10 minutes.</div>

<b>Lentils and Chic Peas:</b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can use canned chic peas and lentils to save time, but I soaked the night before and boiled on the stove top prior to making the the Salad.</div>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;">While the kale is baking, Take your cooked lentils and chic peas and combine in a pot. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Add 1 tbsp of spicy mustard of your choice. I used Provençal. warm the chic peas and lentil over low to medium heat and stir in the mustard until the lentils and chic peas are coated. 3-5 minutes.</li>
</ol>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
You'll even have time to wash the cutting board and put away dishes while the kale is still baking.</div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are are a few must have staples in my makeup bag. I absolutely cannot live without concealer, chap stick,
mascara and eyeliner. I wear it every day. I was more than thrilled to have received a sample of <a href="http://www.sephora.com/ink-liner-P391916?skuId=1656933">Make Up For Ever’s Ink Liner </a>to try.
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The Ink Liner is super light and to my surprise, extremely easy to use. Over the years I have usually relied on a pencil for eyeliner, but this definitely gave me more of a polished and bold look. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rafG0-e2zFo/VLSJYLL4O0I/AAAAAAAABLg/RLmgohWIF9k/s1600/AVB20031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rafG0-e2zFo/VLSJYLL4O0I/AAAAAAAABLg/RLmgohWIF9k/s1600/AVB20031.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
What's nice about the brush is that you can go from ultra-fine to graphically bold, and everything in between. It creates an intense, super-matte and quick drying line. and it stayed on all day. the only weird thing was the initial feeling/sensation of something wet on your eye drying. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While the rest of my makeup looked blah by end of day (this is at 10 PM), the liner held on strong after full day at work and even at the gym. I would highly recommend trying the Ink Liner if you're looking to try something new. It is now availabe at <a href="http://www.sephora.com/ink-liner-P391916?skuId=1656933">Sephora </a>for $<a href="http://www.sephora.com/ink-liner-P391916?skuId=1656933">27</a>.</div>

Every once in a while, I have an inspiration block (i.e. when "winter is coming"). The last few months have been no exception. I've been on permanent defrost since mid-October. Though I have some great holiday inspired outfits, I needed to "feel" warm again. Enter fall throwback. I took these pictures back in October and finally felt a calling to post them, I mean how cute is that elephant necklace? </div>

<span style="color: black;">Say hello to my favourite closet staple. This little black dress. You may remember seeing it <a href="http://www.thefinebalance.net/2012/01/blackout.html">here</a>, back 2012. Honestly, it never fails. Whether it is to brighten my mood after a ho-hum week, a mediocre dinner at the new spot in town, a failed attempt at making a new dish, this LBD is better than a pint of Ben and Jerry's. And that says a lot. </span></div>

Most fashion houses at one point or another have featured tweed in their collections. This year is no different. Dolce & Gabbana's "Tweed is Chic" Fall/Winter 2014 collection is absolutely stunning. Feminine silhouettes with modern touches. <br />

And while I can only covet D&G from afar, the tweed trend has made its way into to affordable consumerism...yes. there. I said it. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have been on the hunt for the perfect mascara for a long
time. A VERY long time. I’ve tried everything from DIORSHOW Blackout, to
Benefit, to Clinique, to Sephora, to MAC. I’ve even tried out the drugstore
brands like Rimmel, Revlon, and Cover Girl. Every time, there has been
something that I have been disappointed with when in comes to a staple in my
makeup routine – too clumpy, too flaky, does not provide volume, does not
lengthen…I was skeptical when I received Lancome’s new Mascara to try and
review.It is available to purchase at <a href="http://www.sephora.com/grandiose-wide-angle-fan-effect-mascara-P388241">Sephora </a>for $35.00 CAD</span></span></div>

<![endif]--><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Lancôme ’s new Grandiose Mascara includes a very
interesting and intuitive brush which they have termed the “Swan Neck™ Wand” It’s
claim to fame - exceptional length, lift, and volume to all lashes. The curve
of the wand mixes the mascara with each twist open, allowing for formula that
stays fresh longer. I have to say, I am quite impressed with the brush, super easy to apply!</span></span></div>

Rather than create an extremely dramatic look, I applied only one coat
of the mascara, something that I would do for everyday use in the
office.</div>

I have to say I am quite impressed with the amount of coverage the Mascara provided. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
PROS: It did make my lashes look thicker, longer and fuller. I also noticed that it did not create any clumps. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
CONS: While Lancôme Grandiose Mascara boasts no flaking, 12 hours later, it was definitely visible, though significantly better than some of the higher end brands that i have tried (namely DiorShow).</div>

Overall, I would give this a 4.5 out of 5 and would definitely repurchase.<br />

I mean FINALLY here – albeit its August. It’s hot days and
equally warm nights, with heat just dissipated from tarmac, bricks and
surrounding objects. Everything is warm to the touch; sun-kissed. I absolutely love how the pictures turned out. Slightly
blurred, as if the camera itself was sweating.Soaking in every last drop of sunshine possible and holding out for an extended heatwave.

After a much long hiatus, I am back and ready to devote some
much needed time to this blog. I love it dearly and it has been a source of
happiness, a place for contemplation, and venue for my thoughts and ideas. My
hiatus from <i>The Fine Balance</i> was not planned, though a much needed reprieve.
Many things have transpired over the last little while, and I knew I would not
have been able to fully devote to my writing and quality pictures and posts if
I had continued. I feel refreshed and ready to get back into it and bring you
all aspects this space is supposed to offer – <i>Fashion, Fitness </i>and<i> Food </i>related
posts.</div>

At first I wasn't sure if these were just the stickers to put on nails, but realised very quickly they're a type of fake nail that says it doesn't damage the nail bed and literally goes on like a sticker. No mess. No added glue. Just peel off the back and apply.<br />

They come in this cute little nail-polish looking container with many sizes and a whole lot of extras. Currently I have been wearing mine for a day and a half, washed dishes, showered, and they haven't budged. <br />

My main complaint about these nails are that they are too square. While the kit does come with a nail file, it was not big enough to complete the job. I would prefer something that had a little more of a roundness to them. <br />

I have only been wearing the nails for a day and a bit, and so far they are comfortable and don't feel too different than my own nails. imPress boasts that it will last an entire week, so I'm curious to see how long it lasts. imPress is available in Canada (yay!) for $8.99 for plain colours and $10.99 for the pattern. What annoys me is that these nails are available in the States for $5.99 USD and $7.99 USD. All in all i would recommend these nails, especially if one needed them for a special occasion.<br />

There's honestly nothing like getting a package in the mail that's not a bill or junk mail. I recently received a box of samples from Influenster, called the Maple VoxBox. Finally! we have a few different companies providing samples of products that are available in Canada! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Maple VoxBox came with snacks from Skinny Cow, Mints from Ice
Breakers, NYC Lip Gloss, NYC Mascara, Kiss press-on nails in funky neon colour, and a Glacial Clay Mask. Pretty much all one needs stashed in their purse (ok minus the clay mask ;)). </div>

There are a couple of reasons why I am impressed with this goody-box. First and foremost, there are snacks! I am constantly looking for something to sink my teeth - I mean we all get the munchies from time to time right? </div>

The post- snack mints are also a must : ) Once I have had a chance to try out the mascara, the press on nails and the lip gloss I'll let you all know, but so far I'm liking the products. In fact the Skinny Cow Crisp Milk Chocolate is not going to make it any further. </div>

Its Mid-November in Ottawa and the weather has been unseasonably
warm. We should have had a snowfall by now, but its warm enough that a leather
jacket and scarf is all one needs really to stay warm. Not that I am
complaining or anything, I do better when its warm. I just doesn’t feel like we
are in “Ottawa” anymore Toto. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both;">
On Tuesday, October 15, 2013 I had the amazing opportunity to get a sneak peak at the new
H&M and Bayshore Shopping Centre, while being given the opportunity to shop
and sip on champagne. I can’t think of a better way to spend a Tuesday evening.

The best the thing about fall are those crisp days, just a

October in O-Town has been stunning. It’s a bittersweet
reminder of what’s coming (ugh cold, ugh snow). But on a day when the sun is
shining and the weather is sweet, it’s the furthest thing from my mind. Im just
relishing in my fall favourites.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Change is (finally) coming to Ottawa’s Rideau Centre. For
someone who has grown up in Toronto, one of the hardest things about moving to
Ottawa was that it really was not a fashion destination. The Rideau Centre at
that time didn’t have stores like Zara, Forever 21, H&M etc. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last night select few of us were given a glimpse of what
Rideau Centre will be transformed into. It includes stores such as J Crew,
Victoria’s Secret Nordstrom and one other secret retailer which will be
announced today (Im crossing my fingers it will be H&M). </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was given the opportunity to try out their large
foundation brush (100s collection). I usually start of my makeup routine by applying moisturizer
and then squeezing foundation and primer on the back of my hand, and applying with
a brush (either a kabuki brush or a foundation brush). </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">One of the things I like about the foundation brush is that
it is large, with soft but stiff bristles, making foundation application quick
and easy. The collection of seventy six brushes took Creator
& Artistic Director Dany Sanz and her team over five years to create. Dany wanted a variety of synthetic fibers
that mimicked the silky softness of natural hair. These brushes feel amazing!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0Fng5mQb55s/UiaQGzr8UkI/AAAAAAAAA5w/ZYxOraW8VXY/s640/blogger-image-891546547.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0Fng5mQb55s/UiaQGzr8UkI/AAAAAAAAA5w/ZYxOraW8VXY/s640/blogger-image-891546547.jpg"></a></div><br></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A con however is that because it is a bit larger, it may be
difficult to travel with, unless you’re someone who doesn’t mind taking large brushes
with you. While I really do enjoy the 108 Large Foundation brush, I can't say its that different from some of the other brushes I have, but it is still a wonderful piece, especially if your are looking for a new brush to add to your collection.</span></span></div>

It's about beauty, style, grace, poise many of the things we bloggers strive for in our photos to share with the rest of the blogger world, but also something more important - inner beauty, love, acceptance, and true beauty.<br />

I recently had the privilege of watching a documenarty called <i>Miss You Can Do It, </i> which focuses on beautiful, talented young women who sometimes may not get the credit they deserve because they seem different to us. Today I wanted to celebrate the strength of these women who, in a safe space, get to experience a piece of "normalcy" in childhood. A Place where they can have a pageant and trully feel special for an evening.<br />

While some of you may no agree with pageants on the whole, I think this is an extraordinary way to brighten spirits, let girls be girls and enjoy playing dress up for one night.<br />

I encourage you all to watch this documentary for, if nothing else, perspective. Perhaps it may challenge you in ways you never thought it could, but today I am grateful to have met all these little fahsionistas, if even through a camera lens.<br />
