Enjoy Pride Month with Bodacious x Shiseido

With Pride Month around the corner, I am ramping up for yet another fabulous month of June with you all right here on the blog and via my social media accounts. Julio & I are “booked and busy” as Canada’s Drag Race royalty Priyanka would say, and I can’t wait to tell you all so much more about what we have planned! That being said it would be a campaign featuring her royal highness that caught my eye as my first official Pride 2022 piece of content.

Let’s take a look at how to Find Your Fierce this season with me.

A Love Letter to the Summer of 2022

It feels like the last two years so many of us have been fighting unseen fights, lost in a world that feels as though it was coming to an end proverbially time and time again. And yes, while that journey continues, in some way today as I walked in the sunshine, I think it felt like the pressure was eased ever so slightly.

Have You Ever Just NEEDED an Item of Clothing?

Over the years I have been very lucky to work with brands making a difference in the world, and ones that hold a special place in my heart. I’ve told the story about my first job being at McDonald’s more times than I can count. Funny because having just started a new role in Ottawa I still think back fondly on the values it taught me and the skills I use all these years later. With #McHappyDay around the corner on May 11th, this year McDonald’s took the cool factor to a whole new level and I’m essentially salivating at the thought of NEEDING these limited edition collaboration pieces in my life before they sell out.
