Sisterhood of the Travelling Polish with Eat, Sleep, Polish

July 22, 2015 Danielle D'Ornellas
Eat, Sleep, Polish - Sisterhood of the Travelling Polish

Eat, Sleep, Polish - Sisterhood of the Travelling Polish

The Sisterhood of the Travelling Polish is a custom made by one of my favourite polishmakers, Eat Sleep Polish. Cat, the creator, makes these amazing holographic polishes that really shine in daylight, but also impress in indoor light as well. But this polish isn't just ANY Eat Sleep Polish polish. This is a special custom made for a very specific purpose - to be mailed and shared between myself and a few other close polish bloggers I'm friends with. This polish is going to travel all across Canada from Quebec, to British Columbia, Ontario and more! And what a polish it is!

Being a beauty blogger when you don't feel beautiful

July 15, 2015 Danielle D'Ornellas
This is how I feel right now, like a person on a sunny beach on a cloudy day.

This is how I feel right now, like a person on a sunny beach on a cloudy day.

Where have I been lately? Well, I've been having one of those days, well, more like weeks where I just don't feel great. I've been working an awful lot and I haven't had a lot of time to take care of myself, much less to blog, and the only thing I crave at the end of the day is a full night's sleep... which I'm still not getting. Self-care is a luxury I can only dream of right now.

Hi there!

Welcome to Darling Magpie, a beauty blog for ladies who don't have time to look like a Kardashian every day, but still geek out about the latest Urban Decay palette, scour Shoppers Drug Mart for a limited edition Essence product and dream about a drawer full of Dior.

Looks like it's time for my monthly makeup! This time last year I was only two weeks post-eye surgery so I couldn't wear makeup at all and then all of ~ this ~ happened. I was going through my vanity recently, not that I've had to desire to wear stuf
Looks like it's time for my monthly makeup! This time last year I was only two weeks post-eye surgery so I couldn't wear makeup at all and then all of ~ this ~ happened. I was going through my vanity recently, not that I've had to desire to wear stuff again, and discovered that SO many of my products had gone bad, and, of them, how many were things I had barely touched. I'm not heading to MINIMALISM or anything, but it has been a bit cathartic to throw out things and really take stock of things, whether it's makeup, or just anything else in life. The one thing I feel grateful for in the last time is more of this time to figure out what *I* actually want, even if it's not what I expected one year ago.
Took a half day yesterday and ended up at the lake. It wasn't too cold, but the skyline looked amazing. I'm still pretty sad these days, not gonna lie, but it felt nice to do something outside and I hope this weather sticks around so I can experience

Today was a holiday, it meant I didn't need to go to work, but when work is just a desk in your living room two feet from your couch, it still feels like you're always at work and never at work, and always waiting until you just turn the laptop back
Today was a holiday, it meant I didn't need to go to work, but when work is just a desk in your living room two feet from your couch, it still feels like you're always at work and never at work, and always waiting until you just turn the laptop back on. Days have no real meaning, time has no meaning, the monotony is just what it is now. Today wasn't a good day. I didn't have to do anything and I couldn't really do anything. Stuff felt pointless, hobbies felt pointless. Everything felt hard and yet I still had to force myself through it. Here's to basically just muddling through. Because we're all gonna have these days and to pretend you don't isn't helping anyone, even yourself.
To celebrate our 14th anniversary, @thecjm and I made the best of it and ordered the set course from @alobaryorkville including some amazing scallops, a duck confit, amazing milk bread & a truly decadent millefeuille, streamed their Spotify playl
To celebrate our 14th anniversary, @thecjm and I made the best of it and ordered the set course from @alobaryorkville including some amazing scallops, a duck confit, amazing milk bread & a truly decadent millefeuille, streamed their Spotify playlist, made some cocktails & had a good night in. I even threw on a dress and tights so at least I partially felt like we were really going out! ♥️ Not our most exciting anniversary, but definitely in the top ten 😉.
First pic on the grid in 2021 is a makeup free, eye bag visible, sunshine selfie and I'm not mad about it. The last few weeks have been rough, but so have the last two months of lockdown in Toronto and hell, the last ten months in general. But it is
