Guest post on The Best of this Life- My love story

Mode Xlusive

I was invited by Emily, editor of The Best of this Life blog, to share my personal love story. It was such an amazing exercise, to go back and reminisce on the 13 plus years worth of memories I had created with my first love. When I read it over to him, I could tell he was flattered, but I made sure it didn’t go over his head!

I always say that I am extremely blessed to have found someone before the digital dating era. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to meet somebody, which primarily consists of your first impression based on their looks alone. I’m not even sure I’d master the swipe right or swipe left. I know I would be way too nice, open and willing to date pretty much anybody. Desperate times. I know I would over share personal information and open myself up way too quickly. It would scare the guys off. It would be a complete disaster.

Luckily, this story has a happy ending. If you want to know more about me, head over to the best of this life and check out my personal love story! ?

Chantal Sarkisian Ottawa Style Blogger Mode Xlusive
Everyone follows at least one blog, right? I’m not talking about news sites like Buzzfeed, Huffington Post or Just Jared. I am talking about a more personal approach to getting informed. The truth is, bloggers follow other bloggers. It’s a way to get inspired, keep up with the beat and create a network of supportive sistas.
So today, I am sharing my Ottawa Bloggers network with you in hopes that you start following people, real people, in your city and get a glimpse of the real local talent.

 [GIVEAWAY ALERT] Morning folks! Up on the blog this morning: I've got everything you need to know about a luxury Canadian skincare company called @PoeticBlend.  Poetic Blend is a boutique line of 3 beauty oils (also known as face oils) that are made by hand in small batches from 100% plant oils. They're vegan, cruelty free, and tested only on humans since that's who's meant to use them. Did you know that even oily and acne-prone skin can benefit from natural oils? It can! And I'll tell you how. Click the link in my profile for an interview with the founder, my full review of the line, and a chance to win the right beauty oil for your skin. Plus there's a 25% off sale all month long!
