Cozy and a Smize

Posted on January 8, 2012 by Elaine

Do you know what a smize is? Apparently it’s smiling with your eyes and according to WikiHow there are a number of steps on how to achieve the smize.

The smize has been on my mind lately since I saw this article from Refinery 29 on “How To Look Gorgeous In Pictures”. When I was younger I was never comfortable taking pictures as I hating posing and smiling.  I was told by many that I kind of had a “Mona Lisa” thing going on since I never gave a full out smile.  Since I’ve gotten older I don’t take myself as seriously and smiling for the camera has been more comfortable.  But now I find out that the “Mona Lisa” that I had seemed to perfect I can’t do anymore LOL!

Oh well, c’est la vie!

Here is my attempt at my smize while in one of my go to cozy outfits this season:

IMG_5811
Sweater: Old Navy XS
Top:  LOFT Ruffle Front Tank XXSP (see my review on FitReview)
Cardigan: LOFT XXSP
Jeans: Gap Always Skinny Cropped Jeans 00 (here in white)
Bracelets: T+J Designs (Braided Cuff, linked bracelets sold out but close up here) 

LOL! That picture above is ridiculous! I feel silly just looking at it 😛

IMG_5817
Here’s a more normal picture of me.
My kitten Baxter decided to jump into the picture too!

IMG_5820
I’m throwing in another silly picture of me trying to smize for your amusement but also because Baxter’s reaction was really funny to the camera’s self timer countdown noise 😛
What do you guys think of the smize?  I may still try and “perfect” it so if you see me looking awkwardly in future photos you’ll know why LOL!

    I think you do a great job with the smize in picture 1. I might try the smize myself and see how it turns out, even though I hate showing my face on the blog. Baxters expression is priceless. He’s got the smize down pat! I love your sweater!

    Oh man Lor I can imagine during performances your facial expressions are so important!

    LOL – my pictures are never “on time” – this is from a few weeks ago when it was chillier 😛 But unless it’s hot and humid I’m generally always cold anyway so I’m more comfortable in layers 😉

    I know exactly what you mean! Its really important when I’m dancing/performing…and after so many years, I still don’t have it right!! And especially lately my artistic director has been bugging me about this issue too, one of the reasons why I’m struggling to improve/advance further! If you ever get a chance to watch Chinese Opera (I’ll admit its pretty boring!)…but its fascinating to see its all about the eyes, they can communicate with their eyes!

    Not only that…my mom saw my blog pictures and she told me that I keep giving my “fake” smile.

    I’m going to be working on my smize too!!!

    Btw why are you wearing a sweater, its super warm outside! 😛

    I think smizing was coined by Tyra Banks on ANTM, but yeah, I can’t do it. My face seems to only have two modes–happy or angry/sullen (even if I’m not feeling remotely angry or sullen!). So I stick to smiling in my outfit photos or looking away from the camera lol.

I’m not saying I’m the best picture taker, but some of them need to watch a few episodes of America’s Next Top Model. HAHA. Kills me. But I think Baxter has the “smize” down.

Come with me to pick up the art piece created from Come with me to pick up the art piece created from the flowers in my bridal bouquet! 🥹❤️

Getting my flowers preserved and turned into this incredible piece was one of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning. ✨

Amanda and her team are extraordinary artists (and wonderful humans!) who give your flowers a new life and preserve memories. Every time I walk past this piece on my wall, my heart glows with flashbacks of my wedding day. 

If you have an important event that includes flowers, do yourself a favor and book with Parched to get them preserved. They accept flowers from across Canada, and have worked on blooms marking all occasions of life, from graduations, baby showers, weddings, and memorials. They can even create pendants using flower remnants!

If you’ve followed me for any length of time (or If you’ve followed me for any length of time (or met me in person for like 5 mins!), you’ve heard about my love for @lezethelabel 🤩

This brand is phenomenal. I love every piece of theirs that I own and wear a Lezé item almost every day. 

@lezethelabel is:

✅ WOC founded 
✅ Canadian
✅ Ethically produced 
✅ Sustainably made using innovative fabrics (like 🌽 or material made from recycled fishing nets!) 
✅ THE COMFIEST 
✅ Designed for real bodies! (Big pockets, lots of stretch, extended sizing)

The humans in charge are also incredibly kind and generous. ❤️

➡️ Since it can be hard to figure out sizing when purchasing online, I put together this little lookbook for you. Basically, I wear a L in their items made from their recycled fishing net fabric, but an XL in the corn, since they’re a little closer to the body and I like a baggier fit in that fabric. I typically wear a size 14. 

If you’re interested, check them out! And feel free to use my discount code (TORONTOBEAUTYREVIEWS15) for 15% off! 🔗 in bio. 😊

Dark circles? I don’t know her. 🙃 If you’r Dark circles? I don’t know her. 🙃

If you’re in the market for a new eye cream, I highly recommend checking out @sahajanskincare’s Golden Glow Eye Balm. ✨ It’s formulated with ghee (!) and feels sooooo silky and gorgeous. This powerhouse ingredient has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine, and for good reason! This eye balm is mega hydrating but feels light and melts right into your skin 🤩 

In addition to ghee, it also includes rose oil and eyebright - these high-performance ingredients work together to reduce puffiness, fine lines, and dark circles. 

This Canadian brand is WOC-founded, and products are cruelty-free as well as eco-friendly. 🇨🇦🐇🌍

Have you tried @sahajanskincare yet?

If you know me IRL, you know I’m a cleaning frea If you know me IRL, you know I’m a cleaning freak. 🙈🧼But, since I’m allergic to everything (fragrance, harsh chemicals, etc 😖) and also care about the environment, I try to find options that are natural as well as effective. 🌍🫧 That way, they’re gentle on my skin and the world, but tough on germs and dirt!

We’ve been using @nelliesclean dish sticks, stain stick, laundry soda for the past few months and LOVING them. ❤️ I even purchased Nellie’s Oxygen brightener recently, which is a bleach alternative that boosts color and keeps whites white. They WORK. (And look very retro chic!)

If you’re looking for effective, naturally-derived cleaning products from a Canadian company, I highly recommend that you check out @nelliesclean! 🇨🇦
