Capsule Conversations

Capsule Conversations is a Q&A series featuring women who love travel as much as me. The goal of this series is to showcase the tips and travel habits of women from different places and hopefully share inspiration along the way. I’ve interviewed journalists, authors, social workers, students, and other bloggers in the hopes of sharing some inspiration from the habits of these globe-trotting women. Want to get featured in Capsule Conversations?

There are some new faces around here, so I wanted There are some new faces around here, so I wanted to reintroduce myself so you know more about who is behind this account! 10 FACTS ABOUT ME: 1 - I was born just outside of Québec City, but shortly after, moved to Montreal and have lived there ever since. My parents are from BC but I did most of my schooling in French. This confuses the heck out of people, since I don't have an accent in French nor in English, so they have a hard time figuring me out. 2 - I studied Journalism in school but quickly moved to working in tech a few years after graduation. I've been in that industry ever since and am now Head of Growth at Kinsta 3 - I started the travel blog The Capsule Suitcase 4 years ago after I began travelling a lot for work. In the past few years, I've spent months and months abroad, with trips ranging from 2 nights to 3 months. All this experience really refined my packing skills and became something I enjoyed blogging about. 4 - I really love fashion and have since I can remember. I used to design clothing for my dolls out of fabric scraps and dryer sheets and as a child, wanted to design costumes for the Cirque du Soleil. 5 - I spend a considerable amount of time in the US but I don't have any other citizenship other than Canadian. I have several loved ones in the Midwest, so I go as often as I can. 6 - I am the youngest of SIX kids. I'm 29 now, and the oldest is 45. 7 - I read the news a lot. I try not to get too sucked into my phone every day, but one thing I never miss is catching up on the news cycle a few times a day. If I had cable, I would probably have 24h news channels on all the time. 8 - I bought my first home shortly after turning 26 and I love talking finance, even if I'm only half knowledgeable. 9 - I believe in God and unlike the U.S., was usually the only one in my class who did growing up. 10 - Some of my life goals include starting a business, writing a book, and getting my driver's license (don't laugh, I've always lived a short walk from a metro station!) . . . #whatiworetoday #aboutalook #chictopia #flashesofdelight #stylecollective #ootdmagazine #theeverydayproject #streetstyle #justgoshoot #inbloom #myootd #ootdinspo

Fear is at the root of so many of our decisions, i Fear is at the root of so many of our decisions, isn't it: fear of failure, of looking stupid, of rejection, of making a mistake we can't take back. Every once in a while, I take a look back at some pretty scary things I've done which now seem so easy. Wild how that works, right? At one time, going to a new school was terrifying. Quitting a stable job to try something new and way more precarious was a huge risk, solo travel, or even setting boundaries and disappointing the people I love took everything in me. Whenever I feel fear creeping up and preventing me from moving forward I just remember all the times I've overcome fear to do something new...and how much easier it was after! How much more I was able to take on because I'd taken the first step. Growth is perceptible if you look closely. What's one scary thing that you've overcome recently?⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #canadiancreatives #liveunscripted #flowering #inbloom #summerootd #springootd #summerstyle #springstyle #inspojunkie #stylefriques #fashiongals #fashiongoalsz #cybercorner #prettylittleiiinspo #styledomino #fashionactive #cyberfashioninspiration #hairandstyles #inspodreamers #blogging4style #whowhatwear #bloglovinfashion #rewardstylebloggers
What's your approach to the seasonal clothing swit What's your approach to the seasonal clothing switch over? I was scrolling IG and saw a couple of friends knee-deep in sweaters, coats, and their summer staples, trying to sort out what summer items to put away for the winter, what still fits from last year, and what needed a good pass of the sweater de-fuzzer. My winter stuff is all up in Canada, which is fine since that's where I need it, but I'm not-so-secretly looking forward to doing my own Fall closet turnover. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #streetstyleluxe #kissinfashion #discoverunder5k #discoverunder10k #girlsthatwander #fashionfury #realoutfitgram #whatamiwearing #ootddetails #shopmystyle #stylegram #fbloggerstyle #fashifeen #ootdinspo #fashiongoals #fallfashion #ihavethingswithcolor #whatimwearing #lovethislook #theeverygirl #styleguide #luxuryfashion #fashiondiary #fashionblogging #acolorstory #socialblogger #darlingdaily #liveauthentic #lovethelittlethings #styleinspiration
I'm very picky about my makeup. This is probably b I'm very picky about my makeup. This is probably because I don't wear very much of it, so each item has to be high-quality, non-toxic, and be in tune with my lifestyle. That also means things that are easy to pack, good for me and the environment, and blend in with my colour preferences. I've been shopping with @alimapure for a few years now, first with their foundation powder and eyeliners, and more recently with their eyeshadows. I love the matte brown powdery eyeshadow for when I want to do a smokey eye and their cream highlighter is the perfect amount of shine for me without looking like a character from Twilight. What I also love is their packaging! You can order replacement pans to fit in each compact so you're not buying more and more plastic compacts every time.
