    Finding the right routine for my skin has been a long and hard battle that I am still fighting my way through. I’m starting to realize that the “less is more” approach really is the way to go! I used to try any product I could find that seemed unique, but I’m learning that the mildest products are best for my skin. I no longer wash my face in the morning (unless I shower, in which I use my Clarisonic Mia), I just rinse with some cold water and moisturize. Nighttime is really the only time I use… View Post

I have been a devoted follower of Shondaland since the very beginning. Grey’s Anatomy has been one of my favourites for years…and then Scandal came along. And now How to Get Away with Murder. There was even Private Practice, which still managed to rope me in. The drama is endless, and I am completely hooked. I have quite a few friends who have said things like “Grey’s sucks now.” While I don’t totally disagree that the show has gone downhill from the good ol’ days (evil spawn and 007, anyone?) there is still joy to be found in Grey’s, as well as… View Post

    Hi, my name is Carly Clydesdale, and I am an iPhone addict. Yes, I’ve always been attached to my phone. When I was a Blackberry user, it too was glued to my palm 24/7. However the introduction of the iPhone 4 changed my life (probably for the worse). The touch screen! The games! The apps! Suddenly my life has taken a nosedive into unproductivity. It is rare that my phone isn’t in my hand, and if you’re looking for a reliable texter, you’ve found ‘er. My response time is lightning fast, unlike some friends of mine (I’m looking… View Post

One of my favourite things to do- particularly in the autumn- is cozy up on my couch with a cup of tea, light a candle, and read a good book (#basic). Want to know what’s on my must-read list this fall? Click the image and head over to CgC Daily!

It’s time for a classic Carly Word Vomit…can’t promise it’ll make sense, but at least it soothes ma soul (much like that old time rock ‘n roll). DISCLAIMER: in this post I talk about learning to love my appearance. I understand that it’s what’s inside that matters. I work every day to make myself a better person. This post is solely about accepting my looks; even though I didn’t wake up like dis, what I did wake up like is BEAUTIFUL. Here we goooooooo…. I have a vague recollection of when I started being self-conscious about my appearance. Before university, I… View Post

    Cozy sweaters are my kryptonite; they’re the one item that I can rarely- if ever- resist. My collection is constantly growing…whenever I see a sweater I love, I ask myself “Carly, do you REALLY need this neutral coloured knit sweater?” The answer is usually yes (as you can see above). That said, my dwindling bank account doesn’t allow me to amass 100 similar pieces anymore. Now when I shop, I try to add items to my closet that are unique and add dimension to my wardrobe. Here are my 5 favourite sweaters I’ve seen lately while shopping online…yes I realize they… View Post
