When you see a product that claims to have 20 benefits to improve your hair, sure you’re skeptical, but also interested in finding out if they are true!  Giovanni 2chic Frizz Be Gone Shampoo & Conditioner was introduced to me in a beauty – blogger – box last year.  I figured I didn’t have anything to loose and per the claims, lots to gain, so I gave it a whirl! I use to be a one brand kinda girl when it came to my hair products.  I was afraid to branch out and test drive anything else as I thought I had found what worked for my hair.  Well, as I have gotten older I hav ..read more

The satisfaction after brushing your teeth and being left with that “feeling” of clean!  It has been a journey to find a Natural, Green version that actually cleans your teeth.  All-natural ingredients, Green Beaver toothpaste keeps your teeth clean and your breath cool. I recently received this in a PR package from M2 over the holidays and was thrilled when I saw it in there!  I had been eyeing it at my local grocery store waiting for it to go on sale, but was having no luck.  Out of a full box of goodies, this was the first thing I took out right than and there and crack ..read more

There is nothing like ending your long work day or week with a nice relaxing bath.  It is one of my favourite “me” things to indulge in.  Live Clean has introduced 3 foam baths in: Fresh Water, Lavender Vanilla & Tropical Coconut. “Breath in …breathe out…in…out..in…out. Now sink a little deeper into your bath…and slowly…relaxxxxx. There you go. Now you’ve got it”  These instructions are simple, yet necessary for the world we live in today.  Where every second of our day is scheduled and used up.  Is is easy to forget the simple things and to just relax.

Hi Beauties! I wanted to drop you a quick note.  My followers/readers mean the world to me and I would like to keep you in the loop as to why I have not been posting per my usual schedule. Life!  Life has gotten in the way!  With the weather change in Canada, Winter is slowly creeping in and that means Winter Prep Time!  House, car, property, dogs. You name it, it has to be prepared for that is to come. Also, my work schedule has been grooling and that has set me back both creatively and physically.  The last thing my brain and eyes want is to sit and look at a screen ..read more

Big, bold, volumized and lengthening! All things we want in a mascara.  Through my Natural,  Green beauty journey I have had the pleasure of test driving Pacifica’s 3 mascaras: Stellar Glaze, Aquarian Gaze and Dream Big Lash. Photo Credit: Pacifica Instagram Stellar Gaze This was the very first natural mascara I tried on my journey. I did a full review on it here. To this day I still love this mascara and find myself comparing others to it! It has just the right amount of thickness but not too wet in the formula.  It latest on my lashes and provided a rich black but natural look ..read more

I recently picked up their kit that offers all 3 products in travel sizes. Detox Cleanser  It’s black! Ok was it just me that reacted that way? Activated Bamboo Charcoal is said to unclog pores and remove makeup and buildup is the culprit. I’m not mad at it either ..read more

I love being a woman. Sure, like many, there are things I wish I could change or not endure. One of those things is shaving my legs. I hate shaving! Hate it! But with Alba Botanicals Cream Shave, it’s a little more bearable. I have always hated shaving. Sure there was a time when I couldn’t wait to start shaving. My right of passage as a young woman. But that quickly died as the years went on and the thought of having to do it became a chore. Anything that I could do to not have to shave, I would find it. I wear pants almost all year round. Is it because I hate to shave? Maybe!  Well thi ..read more
