It’s that time of the month again (well, not that time of the month… but you know what I mean)! May was a mix of new finds and old favourites that I rediscovered — and they’re mostly at a drugstore price point. I also attended a few parties and weddings this month, and finally found the perfect lashes and lash glue! I felt like wearing cooler purple tones, smokey eyes and soft lips a lot — but I also had some fun with colour. Get comfy, pour yourself a cup of tea, and let’s chat beauty!
There are so many new tracks I’ve had on repeat this month! I’m super excited about the new Metric single, and stuff from a couple of new artists I discovered in May. This playlist will always remind me of my first trip to New York (I visited NYC earlier this month — blog posts coming soon!), so the album cover this month was taken at the top of the Rockefeller Center, overlooking Central Park at dusk. I hope you enjoy my May Soundtrack!
My Crudité Style Niçoise Salad is my favourite salad to make after a trip to the farmer’s market! There’s a ton of beautiful, seasonal produce available right now, and this simple salad lets the ingredients shine. I like to serve this salad crudité-style — that way everyone can take what they like and customize their plates. This is a girl dinner classic; a nutrition-packed, hearty salad that tastes just as good as it looks!
I’m often asked what to wear to specific events, or to style people for special occasions — so I thought it would be fun to start a WHAT TO WEAR series here on JustineCelina, dedicated to these situations! Wedding season is upon us, and choosing an outfit as a wedding guest is something a lot of people have questions about, so today I wanted to share what I wore to a spring wedding. I’ve also selected a few alternate dress options for all different body types, so you can style yourself for wedding season with confidence. You know I’ve got you covered in the beauty department, too!

Alright ladies (and gents), let’s talk skincare. I often receive compliments on my skin and am asked what I use, or people think I’m younger than I actually am — and I’m always surprised, because for so long I was insecure about my skin. I’ve finally found products and a regime that gives me healthy, happy skin — and today I’m going to share it with you! If it helps even one person be more comfortable in their skin, it will make me so happy.
I’m excited to share the first of many DESIGN themed posts here on JustineCelina centered around the home and DIY — today I’m showcasing our Wine Nook! This is one of those spaces that took awhile to come together — our living room is a long, rectangular shape, and there was always this open space on the far wall, next to the patio door. Come take a look at how I finished this space and share some design inspiration, along with a few DIY tips!
Hey guys! Today I’m sharing April’s most loved beauty products. Overall, I was into cooler tones (which is strange for me!). Since I have warm colouring and green eyes, I tend to favour warm colours on both the eyes and lips — last month I gravitated towards purples and cooler neutrals overall. I also played around with lots of different eye looks, eyeliner and eyeshadow. Let’s chat beauty!
