Giveaway | Win $160 PayPal Cash!


With Valentine's day right around the corner, it's time to start thinking about treating your significant other (or yourself, because why not!) to a little something special, and having a little extra cash is always a treat (don't you agree)? I've teamed up with a handful of other bloggers who are feeling the love, and together we've garnered a grand total of $160 to give away to one lucky winner!

Odacité All Natural and Vegan Skin Care | Review


Proper skin care is something I am very passionate about, and although I do not have perfect skin (far from it actually - in case you haven't seen my videos), I can definitely notice a big difference in my skin's texture and overall appearance if I go a few days without giving it some extra care. I have been experimenting over the last month by only using natural skin care products on my face, and have to say my skin has significantly calmed down from breakouts, especially in the last couple of weeks. I attribute this improved skin to the Odacité* 100% natural line which I've been testing out, with one product in particular I've found to be a huge game changer in calming my pesky breakouts. The entire Odacité range (French for audacity) offers products that are vegan, cruelty-free, non-gmo, and the ingredients are either certified organic or wild crafted from remote areas away from pollution. Just reading this about the company made my heart swoon! But wait, there's more!

Natural Beauty Products | Mini iHerb.com Haul


In my quest to introduce more natural products into my routine, I've been shopping a lot lately on my go-to website for all things health and beauty, iherb.com. If you're unfamiliar with this site, they offer thousands of great products at a discounted price, all in one place. My most recent order includes a few staples as well as a couple of new products that I'm really excited to try out. This is a smaller haul, but I still found it worthy of sharing. Hope you enjoy!

LOTS of Products I've Used Up! | Winter 2015 Empties


My last empties post/video dates back to nearly 6 months ago (check it out here) and considering these two bags were taking up all of my office space (and making me look like a major hoarder to my family - which okay, I admit it!), I decided it was finally time for me to get rid of the overflow and share them with you in an interactive manner via my YouTube channel. If you would like to see more videos from me and keep up with me through my videos, you can subscribe to be notified of future uploads!

Hand Chemistry Triple-Function Hyaluronic-Rich Hydrator and Heel Hydration Complex | Review


As the arctic air has officially settled (we even hit an extreme cold record here in Montreal earlier this week with wind chill values nearing -40 C!), I've been getting lots of use out of various skincare products in my arsenal. My extremities have been especially suffering from dryness due to the frigid air that's been dipping into south-eastern Canada and the States, so I'm making the most out of it by taking care of myself, both inside and out (and thankfully have yet to get sick!). I've previously put the Hand Chemistry Intense Youth Complex Hand Cream* to the test (here), so I had great expectations for their Heel Hydration Complex* and their newest addition, the Triple-Function Hyaluronic-Rich Hydrator*. Keep reading to find out how these performed!

Get Rid of Cellulite with Cellublue | Review + Giveaway!


There are those topics most people shy away from discussing, one of them being cellullite. Many products are marketed to treat this skin condition, such as devices, creams, miracle pills (and I'm probably leaving some out) by claiming to reduce the appearance, or even cure, cellulite, and I've always been skeptical to try them out. Truth is, it takes time to notice a difference with such products (and that's if they even work), and a healthy diet along with daily exercise is always recommended, so patience is definitely key. I've recently been introduced to Cellublue*, an easy, fuss-free blue cup that promises to diminish the appearance of cellulite naturally. I was really intrigued by how it worked, so I thought I would share a little bit more information on this handy cup. If you would like to win a Cellublue for yourself, keep reading as I will be giving one away to one lucky reader!

NEW Make Up For Ever Graphic Liner | Review


Liner is something that used to scare me a lot when I first started wearing makeup, and it actually took me a couple of years to warm up to wearing a black winged liner (considering I even dreaded the thought of having a mascara wand near my eyes in my teenage years, I think I've come a long way!). I still remember the first black liner that I purchased at the drugstore: it came with a flimsy brush, and despite many attempts, I just could not make it work for me. I wish I would have known back then that there are many options when it comes to black liners, and one that I have stuck to for many years now has a felt-tip applicator. I've been trying out the new Make Up For Ever Graphic Liner* over the last few weeks, and have to say that it has quickly become a new favourite!

evoDerma NOOME Anti-Aging Motion Device | Review + Demo


Anti-aging seems to be the "it" term when it comes to skincare. The desire to maintain youthful skin is one that many women share. I believe that keeping a youthful appearance is more than skin deep, such as through healthy nutrition from plant-based foods and an active lifestyle. Of course, proper skincare is an important factor as well, and treating our skin with products that help moisturize to keep us looking youthful also contributes to lessening the signs of aging. Being in my early twenties, I am aware of steps I can take to prolong having my first fine lines and wrinkles from appearing. I moisturize day and night, and have also recently introduced a new beauty tool, the evoDerma NOOME Anti-Aging Motion*, into my routine. This at-home treatment is non-invasive and stimulates quick cell renewal and collagen production by plumping the skin, and can be used both to prevent and diminish the appearance of fines lines and wrinkles.
