You can find me out on the rainy West coast. If it’s sunny? I’ll be on a Vancouver patio with family and friends enjoying some of my favourite things.

Favourite things? Wine & Food! I also adore animals, fitness & fashion mags … I’ll bet I can name every supermodel since the 70’s! Absolutely LOVE my YE 4 Plus Dynamic Duo and Avance Elixir, with a sprinkle in of Forlle’d’s Refining Lotion!

I’m most proud of my strong and LONG relationships with my husband (XXX years…), family and friends. Most of my friends have been with me since early childhood.

I am super fond of sharing that I’ve jumped from an airplane, bungee jumped & swam with stingrays!

Small town girl, lover of clothing, shoes, and my English bulldog, Piper, studier of sciences, seller of skincare. Firm believer in the smile.

Oh boy! I was baptized in Canada but South Africa is my ancestral hunting ground. My favourite artist of all time is Bruce Springsteen and my go-to breakfast-in-a-hurry is a Dad’s Special Sandwich that involves bread, sharp cheddar cheese and a good strawberry jam. I’m an Impact player addicted to Youth EssentiA Cquence 4+.

I love it when bank accounts balance, when I get to the end of my To Do List and when everyone hands in their expense report on time. I ensure the office is well stocked and that everyone has the supplies they need to do their jobs well. I don’t mind picking up the phone and asking for payments and if you’ve interacted with me you know I like to be direct and to the point. I may sometimes be perceived as abrupt; rest assured my M.O. is about efficiency not fluff! Outside of work I love my family and my house which I have been renovating.

I’m Erika – with a K. Professional nomad and textbook third culture kid. Canada is the 4th country I’ve called home! Definitely one of the shortest people you know. You can find me singing along to any Disney movie, re-reading the Harry Potter series, or watching FRIENDS for the billionth time. Obsessed with musical theatre, saltwater beaches, good writing, and my puppy.

Blessed and grateful for my family. Curly hair enthusiast, lover of moscato, R&B music, fashion, traveling and horror movies. I am bilingual in English and French but I have always wanted to learn how to speak Spanish and Japanese (probably due to my young obsession with anime). Passionate about skin health and self-improvement!

East Coaster in Toronto. Always laughing, always talking too fast.  Lover of lipstick, animals and red wine.  Obsessed with my mini golden doodle (who has more Instagram followers than me..), my family and friends.  Social, chatty and love meeting new people! I am passionate about marketing and picking the brains of those I look up to.

I love historical documentaries, politics, Game of Thrones, ice cream and cupcakes. Trying to play golf and aspiring to work out more often are my hobbies. I have a large collection of Barbie dolls. When I am not thinking about skincare, I devote my time to my family.

My daily skincare regime: I am all about anti-ageing and love under eye cream. I currently use Youth EssentiA 4 and Defence cream after I cleanse and tone. I use my cosmetic roller a couple of times a week. I use the Forlléd platinum eye cream and occasionally the Forlléd Reliance gel for a boost.

Past Experiences: Holt Renfrew, Financial Services, Barbie dolls.

I LOVE my FAMILY, Mindful Moments, Morning Yoga with Adriene, Family Dinners by Candlelight, Bike Rides, Nature Walks – Actually Anything in Nature, Everyday Beauty, Everyday Acts of Kindness, Strong Coffee (just a cup), Fine Wine (preferably Red) Genuine People and Authentic, Enduring Friendships.
