Canadian Grace Vitamin E Face Oil & Batana Oil | Review

I've always had a soft spot for facial and hair oils, and after a bit of a hiatus, I've been happily reincorporating them into my routine. My criteria were simple: high quality, versatile, and lightweight enough to actually enjoy using. I found exactly that with two products from Canadian Grace — the Vitamin E Face Oil* and the Batana Oil*. Both are Canadian-made, all-natural, and certified organic. Consider this your sign to pay attention.

Omy Laboratoires Personalized Skincare | Review

Omy Laboratoires* is a Canadian skincare brand that specializes in refillable customized skincare products adapted to your skin needs and concerns. I was first introduced to the brand a couple of years ago, when attending a virtual tour of their laboratory in Quebec City. Co-founded by chemist Rachelle Séguin in 2018, they developed SkinAI, a technology that uses artificial intelligence to analyze skin and create made-to-measure products with ingredients perfectly adapted to your needs. Upon completing their online quiz, Omy develops customized skincare products in their in-house lab, and, in addition to choosing the preferred three active ingredients, you also get to pick the scent and texture you prefer.

Yves Saint Laurent Libre L'eau Nue Parfum de Peau | Review

Yves Saint Laurent Libre L’Eau Nue* is a fragrance designed to feel like sunlight on bare skin. From the first spritz, this YSL parfum de peau delivers a fresh, radiant citrus opening that feels clean and modern rather than sharp. It’s bright without being loud — the kind of perfume that sits close to the body and enhances your natural scent instead of overpowering it. If you love light, skin-like fragrances, Libre L’Eau Nue immediately stands out as a wearable everyday option.

Winter Skincare Arsenal | How I Protect and Nourish My Skin

Between heading out on dog walks, running errands around town, shovelling snow and scraping ice off the car, and generally breathing drier air from central heating (the joys of living in Canada, eh?), my skin always takes a beating this time of year. I protect my face and hands as best as I can from the cold and harsh wind with warm clothing (hello balaklavas, tuques, scarves, thick gloves and heat-holding socks), but I still cannot escape dealing with dry skin. With frigid weather settling in, I've brought my reparative skincare must-haves to the front of my vanity. These are products I have used for the past few years, and I can attest that they have made a difference in keeping my skin less irritated from the elements.

I've been on a hair growth journey these last few months and a brand that has been helping me keep my hair strong and well-cared for is The Rootist*.

I wanted to dive in and focus on my favourites from the brand I've tried so far when it comes to clarifying my scalp and helping my hair in between washes. 

Naked Nutrition Naked Pea Protein | Review

I've tried several vegan proteins over the last decade and always enjoy trying new brands. I wasn't a regular protein shake drinker at first, however in recent years, I've come to appreciate including it more regularly post-workout and after physiotherapy to help with muscle recovery and protein intake. My latest discovery is Naked Pea Protein Powder from the brand Naked Nutrition, and I've been enjoying it for the past few weeks.
