New Year! New Do~ Canadian Winter tested blow out from Magic Beauty Salon! ๐Ÿ’‡โ€โ™€๏ธ

๐Ÿ“
7101 Yonge St, Markham, ON (North of Yonge & Steeles)

Itโ€™s not only a fresh new year of resolutions and motivation for updated changes but itโ€™s also my birthday month! Meaning, itโ€™s was time to try new hairstyles for the many social meet ups I have booked this month!

Magic Beauty Salon felt like half salon and half runway with their floor to ceiling monitors featuring the catwalks of major fashion houses ๐Ÿ“ธ

Thank you to Ryan who took care of me! I have very thick hair with lots of roots and knew my hair was very time consuming yet he took his time to ensure he got every strand covered! At first, it looked wild because my hair was freshly washed but sure enough, despite the crazy winter winds, my hair calmed down to the beautiful locks at the end of the reel ๐Ÿ’•

Thank you for having me
It was fun to try a new do and watch a professional try a new hair technique Iโ€™ve never seen before ๐Ÿ˜Š

Black Friday Sale at a beautiful new tea ware store called ไธ่จ€ๅ™จ Brewin Teaware in Markham!

๐Ÿ“
๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ 7170 Warden Ave. Unit 25, Markham, ON L3R 8B3

I just discovered this gem of a Teaware store and the best part: They are having a Black Friday Sale between November 15-December 1! Perfect time to shop for Christmas / Holiday gifts or for yourself! They are brand new (only 4 months old) and the quality is impressive with very good prices! Also, the owner and sales team were so lovely; making my visit a very enjoyable one! ๐Ÿ’š Get rid of those old tea mugs; itโ€™s time for an upgrade! โ˜บ๏ธ

Brewin Teaware is a specialty store with its own factory in China, offering exquisitely crafted and affordable tea sets. Their products are ideal for personal use and make for thoughtful, beautiful gifts. The brandโ€™s name, inspired by Zhuangziโ€™s philosophy โ€œHeaven and Earth have great beauty yet do not speak,โ€ reflects its essence: a โ€œsilent vesselโ€ is a vessel of great beauty.
Custom orders are also available. They also have an online website you can shop from but if you can, come visit their store because itโ€™s really lovely and beautiful ๐Ÿคฉ Worth visiting!
