Jewellery 101: Everything You Need to Know About Aquamarine
May 18, 2020 at 02:00PM When Meghan Markle flashed an aquamarine ring from the passenger seat of a matching blue Jaguar being driven by new husband Prince Harry to their wedding reception, baby-blue gems zoomed to the top of the rock charts. But what should you know about the March birthstone, especially if you’re thinking of investing in one? The most crucial thing about aquamarines is whether the stone you’re about to buy is actually an aquamarine and not, for instance, a topaz or just lowly blue coloured glass. Confusion reigns among blue gemstones. Aquamarine vs. Topaz vs. Glass Naturally blue topazes are rare. And no one wants to be duped into buying a relatively cheap colourless topaz that has been radiation-treated into its blue hue. So, how can you tell the difference between an aquamarine and a blue topaz—or an aquamarine and blue glass? Gems should be viewed under the right optical conditions. Put the stone against a sheet of white paper either in natural light or under fluorescent tube lighting. To the naked eye, an aquamarine will often have a slight greenish cast to it, which a blue topaz totally lacks. Another test: Aquamarines are pleochroic, which means they throw off different colours when viewed at different angles. If the stone you have in your hand emits the same colour no matter what angle you hold it at, it’s not an aquamarine. Surface nicks, scratches and bubbles trapped inside are signs that it’s a piece of glass. Aquamarines score between 7
Self-Isolation Diary: A Day in the Life of Lainey Lui
May 18, 2020 at 01:00PM We’re officially in Month 3 of self-isolation with an uncertain road ahead but for some much-needed inspiration, FASHION is reaching out to some of our favourite Canadians to get a peek into how they’re living their lives in lockdown (remember: #StayHomeSaveLives). Each week, keep an eye out for new self-isolation diaries from actors, designers, influencers and artists who are riding this uncertain time out with us. Elaine “Lainey” Lui, co-host, CTV’s The Social; anchor, Etalk; founder and editor, LaineyGossip.com Tuesday, May 12, 2020 @ 5am My phone alarm goes off. Every day it’s like Fifty First Dates where I have to be reminded that this is reality. My first thought is always… SERIOUSLY?! STILL?! My second thought, today, is that it’s not a hair-washing day which means maybe I can go back to sleep for half an hour. My third thought is that even though it’s not hair-washing day, I have to get up this early because I’m stupid slammed for eight hours straight without a break so I need to start writing my column and finish at least two thousand words by 8am. Then I knock over my mug of water. It spills everywhere, I have to turn on the lights and wake up Jacek. Is this an omen? Is my day about to be all kinds of f*cked up? Now I’m checking my texts, with dread. Sure enough Bryan Adams decides to become a social media scandal. 5.15-7.15am I allow myself 45 minutes
These £35 Influencer-Approved Shorts are a Summer Staple
May 18, 2020 at 12:58PM A few weeks ago, Lucy Williams posted a photo of herself to Instagram wearing Arket’s of-the-moment, elastic waist, linen shorts. After seeing the image, I immediately found myself clicking over to the brand’s website, desperate to get a pair of my own, knowing full well they’d become a hero summer item I’d wear all season long. To my disappointment, the staple had already sold out in several different colours. Thankfully, Arket knows a thing or two about keeping their customers happy as the label has restocked the popular item in both the black and light beige colourways. An influencer favourite, already this season the shorts have been worn by Lucy Williams and Rachael Clifton of Bubbly Aquarius, proving they are indeed a very hot commodity. Though they are certainly an expensive-looking staple, the shorts retail for a very affordable £35 and given their versatility, I have already thought of about 35 different ways I’d like to wear them. With a matching linen shirt, a racer tank and my Stan Smith sneakers, à la Lucy Williams for starters. So, whether you’re at home, at your local park or even venturing to the beach this summer, a pair of elastic waist linen shorts are the wear-anywhere staple that will see you through almost all occasions. Keep scrolling to see how influencers are wearing the staple and then shop the shorts below. Next up, the biggest S/S 20 fashion trends you need to know.

10 things I can’t live without (during the past 10 weeks)
May 18, 2020 at 11:57AM Hi friends! Happy Monday. I hope you’re having a nice morning and that you enjoyed a relaxing weekend. Just to break up the monotony over here, we’re still dragging out the tent every weekend. It’s one way to show the girls, “Hey, it’s the weekend!” when all of the days kind of blur together. The novelty hasn’t yet worn off, and they get a kick out of it (and for some reason, they sleep SO well in there!). We had tent nights, watched Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (they loved it), swam at my dad’s house, and got Indian food takeout. I hope you had a good one, too! Today’s post is another random one. I thought I’d share some of the things that have been awesome to have around over the past 9+ weeks. I kept these more on the silly/fun side instead of listing the obviously more important things, like our family, house, pets, health, etc. These are just some extras that have made this time at home a little less terrible. I’d love to hear about the random things you’ve been loving and enjoying while we’ve all been chillin’ here at home. 1) Frida Kahlo socks. My mom got these for me and I’ve worn them approximately 2817 times. Thankfully, there are no holes yet. My power outfit during this whole order has been lululemon shorts, Frida Kahlo socks, and a camo sweatshirt. (A couple of weeks ago, I decided to start wearing

A Killer Vegan Bolognese You Won’t Believe
May 18, 2020 at 11:09AM Before you toss the idea of healthy vegan dinner recipes aside, give chef Michal Martínek of Very Good Cook’s vegan bolognese a try. Michal’s easy bolognese pasta sauce uses grated tempeh, a soy product which, if organic, provides a ton of clean nutrition and protein. This is a comforting dish that tastes as good as the original… Subbing grated tempeh for ground beef might sound weird, but trust me on this one. Tempeh has a great, grainy texture and somewhat plain taste, which allows it to absorb flavors from the rest of the ingredients. And those are pretty much the same you’d use for regular Bolognese: crushed tomatoes, soffritto base; olive oil, onions, carrots, celery, and garlic, mushrooms, red wine & stock What’s tempeh? Tempeh (tam-pay) is a nutritious, probiotic vegan protein made from fermented soybeans. It originated in Indonesia. After the fermentation process, the beans are pressed into a small rectangular cake. You’ll most likely find it in the refrigerated section, next to tofu and other healthy, vegetarian products. Tempeh has a beige color, firm texture and a nutty/savory flavor. It’s a little plain on its own, but great in all kinds of recipes. How can you use tempeh? + Grated or finely chopped, and used in sauces such as this Bolognese pasta sauce, or in soups and stews. + Sliced or cut into cubes, steamed and added to salads. + Sliced or cut into cubes, and added to stir fry. + Make sure

How to Save Money While Shopping Online
May 18, 2020 at 07:00AM Who doesn’t love saving money while shopping?! I’ve already shared my thoughts on how to stop buying stuff which still stand but what about when your shopping passes all of that criteria? How can we get the best deals possible? Honestly, I’ve always been a deal finding pro. I almost never purchase things full price (most things go on sale at some point!) and reeeeallyyyy hate to pay for shipping. So it’s about time I shared my tricks with you, right? Watch Store Trends A lot of stores cycle through similar sales cycles. Make a mental note to be aware of when sales are happening! Some stores have sales every single week where others (like my beloved Credo Beauty!) have just one larger sale a year. While you have to be careful not to overload your inbox, I do recommend signing up for newsletters for your favorite brands so you know when deals are happening. Money Saving or Cash Back Apps You’ve all seen the commercials for them and yes! They actually do work! The two most well known (and ones I personally use) are Rakuten and Honey. Honey is an extension you can add to your browser that magically […] The post How to Save Money While Shopping Online appeared first on The Healthy Maven.
