My Crudité Style Niçoise Salad is my favourite salad to make after a trip to the farmer’s market! There’s a ton of beautiful, seasonal produce available right now, and this simple salad lets the ingredients shine. I like to serve this salad crudité-style — that way everyone can take what they like and customize their plates. This is a girl dinner classic; a nutrition-packed, hearty salad that tastes just as good as it looks!
Spring
I’m often asked what to wear to specific events, or to style people for special occasions — so I thought it would be fun to start a WHAT TO WEAR series here on JustineCelina, dedicated to these situations! Wedding season is upon us, and choosing an outfit as a wedding guest is something a lot of people have questions about, so today I wanted to share what I wore to a spring wedding. I’ve also selected a few alternate dress options for all different body types, so you can style yourself for wedding season with confidence. You know I’ve got you covered in the beauty department, too!

I’m excited to share the first of many DESIGN themed posts here on JustineCelina centered around the home and DIY — today I’m showcasing our Wine Nook! This is one of those spaces that took awhile to come together — our living room is a long, rectangular shape, and there was always this open space on the far wall, next to the patio door. Come take a look at how I finished this space and share some design inspiration, along with a few DIY tips!
BEST IN BEAUTY | APRIL 2015
Hey guys! Today I’m sharing April’s most loved beauty products. Overall, I was into cooler tones (which is strange for me!). Since I have warm colouring and green eyes, I tend to favour warm colours on both the eyes and lips — last month I gravitated towards purples and cooler neutrals overall. I also played around with lots of different eye looks, eyeliner and eyeshadow. Let’s chat beauty!
BLACKBERRY SAGE SMOOTHIE
I took inspiration from one of my favourite blackberry sage teas to come up with this sweet and savoury Blackberry Sage Smoothie recipe! It’s bursting with luscious berry flavours, complimented by an earthy hint of sage. A splash of lemon makes this smoothie bright and refreshing, plus it’s loaded with antioxidants and anti-aging ingredients. Enjoy this smoothie whenever you’re craving something savory, sweet and unique!
I discovered so many amazing new artists and albums this month! I’ve also been daydreaming about music festivals (thanks, Coachella!), so this month’s album cover features a photo I took at Squamish Music Festival last summer. My April Soundtrack is an eclectic mix of happy chill tunes, electronic, alternative, dance, and a bit of hip-hop! I hope your ears enjoy.
We spent last Sunday exploring the Grassi Lakes area just outside of Canmore, Alberta nestled in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. It’s a beautiful short hike with two crystal clear, shallow lakes at the top of the trail. I wanted to get out with my new lens and do some adventuring before New York, so here’s a collection of my favourite images from the day.
