Tomfoolery and Bright was originally created as a means by which to share what inspires me on a day-to-day basis. That said, I felt that the blog lacked focus. One day I’d write about food, the next day about the Royal family, the next about my favourite hair styles and then on tomoisturisers! Tomfoolery and Bright was overdue for an update and more importantly, a clear purpose and definition. I found that the most popular blog posts were those concerning food, nutrition, fitness, and health. And so, w...
I kept calling them running shorts (which, I guess they are), but when I found out this style of short is actually called 'dolphin,' you can imagine my excitement. It only makes them that much cuter/awesome! Here's (more) proof that trends from decades ago can be worn stylish today: Ashley Tisdale in a relaxed charcoal grey pair of dolphin shorts. Miranda Kerr goes floral on floral with this more fitted pair. Another relaxed fit (and thrifted) by Sincerely, Jules. And the original dolphin short...
My lack of posts can only mean one thing. Finally, I'm finding things to keep myself busy, like auditioning and training with my acting coach and work and auditioning some more.Despite being extra busy lately, there's one thing you can bet I'll always have time for, and that's making yummy food to keep my belly happy. To help salute the weekend, below is a recipe for Spicy Asian Meatballs. Moist and juicy, and full of flavour! Spicy Asian Meatballsadapted from Health-Bent1 lb. ground pork, preferably an...
It's wedding season. Or something like that. Whatever the occasion, now is the perfect time to find that pretty little dress to make whatever special day sparkle. Whether a friend's wedding, a brother's graduation ceremony, a garden party at your aunt's, this season's hottest trends can be found in dress form, and in a wide range of affordable (and some not-so-affordable) prices.Here are my picks for this season's dress trends: Off-the-shoulder and bold hues. Go feminine with head to toe lace. Bri...

As a kid, I went to numerous birthday parties where we'd build our own pizzas, Mom would pop 'em in the oven, and they'd be ready in minutes. But what about a pizza party for adults? Back in February, R and I went to our friends, E and M's place for dinner and they did just that. They created a build-your-own-pizza bar with enough ingredients to last them the entire rest of the week. It was such a simple idea, yet I just never really thought of it for a dinner party. It was definitely a more casual din...
The other day I was craving oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, but didn't want to bake because of the hot weather (our galley kitchen traps the heat, and it can be a real boiler room to cook in). Instead, I made my own version of these no-bake energy bites by Maggie at Smashed Peas and Carrots. They were perfect to satisfy my cookie craving and I didn't even have to turn on the oven. No-Bake Energy Bites adapted from Smashed Peas and Carrots 2 cups oats 1 cup natural peanut butter 1/2 cup agave necta...
Saturday, June 9th marked my first TUM experience and it was a fantastic one, to say the least. It was everything I had imagined it to be: foodies (and non-foodies) young and old(er) pouring out $5 bills for a taste of this and a mouthful of that. Held at the Evergreen Brick Works in Toronto, TUM is an opportunity for locals to come together and taste the food of aspiring chefs.I'm proud to say that I ate my weight in food and feel that my money was well-spent. I attended the event with my friend G, who ...
AlthoughI once had a fearofstriped apparel, the nautical look has now become a huge part of my wardrobe. And whilemixing printsseems to be one of this season's go-to trends, stripes are no exception. Breaking all the rules: dark versus light bright tones in horizontal and vertical stripes. Denim, blue, and stripes all over is an easy, casual look that anyone can re-create. Another take on stripes? Wide versus skinny stripes. How do you like to mix your stripes?images viarefinery29,what i wore...
I fell off the bloggin' bandwagon, but I'm back by popular demand (or something like that). So, why the lack of posts? To be honest, after I finished school, I really lost sense of what I should be doing with my time and with that came a lack of inspiration for posts. That said, I've been busy for the past month working (or trying to), training with my acting coaches, and catching up with old and new friends.And just like that, June came and went.So, while I'm still figuring out my career path post-gradu...
