We’ve all heard for years that we should not be stepping out the door without putting sunscreen on. I’ll admit, I have not been very good at abiding by that rule – your face gets too sticky and white and greasy! On top of all that, sunscreen generally doesn’t smell great. So other than a…
Product Review: Skinfix – Renewing Scrub + Cream
As starkly different as winter and summer are in Canada, they have one thing in common – both are not great times for my skin. As we all know, the cold months bring a lot of dryness, redness and flakiness to the skin…and in the summer, my skin in particular is quite sensitive to the…
Product Review: Origins – Original Skin Retexturizing Mask with Rose Clay
I don’t know about you, but once the hot summer months kick in, my pores seem to instantaneously expand – especially on my nose. It started becoming especially noticeable this year, so I looked up all sorts of natural remedies online. A lot said to use a natural toner with rose water and/or lavender twice…
Product Review: Conair – Infiniti Pro hair straightener
Ah, the hair straightener – a staple for any girl’s beauty routine. The straight hair look always impresses with its sleek, elegant finish. And so easy to style straight hair too! Considering how often we use hair straighteners, it’s very important to have one that’s good quality, and that will last you a long time….
Product Review: Clarins – Fix’ Make-Up Setting Spray

It can look a bit of a powdered mess….
Hair: How do I make a DIY hair mask?

As “natural” as they claim to be, store-bought hair masks always have some sort of chemicals/preservatives in them to give them a reasonable…
Product Review: ThirdLove – Bras
For years, bras had been the bane of my existence. I have a small waist/bra band circumference, but large breasts – I know this is an issue for many of my fellow brown girls! At Victoria’s Secret, my bra size was identified as a 32DDD (aka a 32F) – that’s kinda crazy. I was always…
Product Review: Function of Beauty – Shampoo and Conditioner
I’m sure I’m not the only one whose Instagram started blowing up with ads of “personalized hair care” a few months ago – and I usually don’t buy into this kind of advertising from companies I’ve never heard of. But I don’t know if it was the pretty aesthetic of colourful bottles, or the pull…
