Self Love - Nira's Hot List - February 2020
Nira’s Hot List Contributed by Virgin Radio Morning Show Co-Host Nira Arora
Oh yes — February the month of Love they say! Who is ‘They’? That's always my question. The best part, nobody knows! The month of love because of the Hallmark Holiday known as Valentine’s Day! I was never a big fan of V-Day, sorry… Valentine's Day! It’s just that it always made me feel as though something was missing in my life or that something was lacking. Even after I got married, I found this holiday over-rated, but yet there was still this added pressure to make it special. Well let’s turn this into a positive - I mean there are many who love Valentine’s Day… and good for you if you do! But we can twist the month of love aspect to be for any type of love. In this case some self love! Here are a few things that I love to love for the month of February.
Barefoot Dreams Blanket - Crush Clothing
You’ve seen this blanket all over Instagram and draped around the arms of some of your fav celebs now you can get one of your own, or for the family, or the bedroom! In true barefoot dreams style this blanket is ultra-soft, machine washable and dryer safe! It’s made with a patented polyester microfibre making it 100% pill proof, colour locked and it will never shrink! Never mind all the selling features though... it’s the cutest blanket ever! Soft, light animal print is the BIGGEST trend for any season you want! It’s classy, classic and goes with almost any decor!
This one is brand new for Spring 2020 from Barefoot Dreams and it’s available right now at Crush Clothing. Pop by Crush Clothing boutique in South Surrey to see it in person, it’ll be instant love! And honestly - if it’s good enough for Oprah - it’s definitely beyond for me!
The Dexter Pant- Aritzia
I have a super early wake-up call for work and I often want to just go to work in joggers, sweats and to be totally honest, my pajamas! As much as I could get away with this, I don’t really want to. By the time I reach the office I wish I had given my fashion a bit of thought and effort. I love shopping, I can be a fashionista when I want to be, but at 3:45am, I don't know many that WANT to be! And then I was introduced to the Dexter Pants! The Dexter Pants are a tuxedo pant in Japanese crepe, slim-fit with an easy, pull-on waistband and an ankle-grazing length. They give me just the right amount of room for major comfort and yet they say ‘I put in some major effort’. These are the perfect pants for my lifestyle. From work, to meetings, to running errands, to grabbing the kids from school - ideal! Plus you can pair them with booties, heels, sneakers - it all works beautifully.

Dream Big Scrunchies
If you know me at all you know that I love scrunchies! I haven’t stopped wearing them from grade school, even when they were ‘apparently’ not cool anymore! I also love supporting local. So this is definitely a win-win item in my books! Let me introduce you to Dream Big Scrunchies! Hand made scrunchies by a local mom of three boys. What makes these scrunchies unique is that they can hold scent in the Dream Big tag. Whatever essential oil you prefer - add a drop to your Dream Big Scrunchie and have that amazing-ness linger throughout the day. Some people even use perfume in theirs. The faux leather scrunchies are my favourite - I’m pretty sure you won’t have any problem finding yours!
