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*. From the founder of Farmacy Beauty and recently available at Sephora, I've been trying out many of their offerings. 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.  If you're new to the brand: as the name implies, The Rootist believes that healthy hair can be achieved through caring for your scalp, hair, and roots - where the healt ..read more

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. I don't know about you, but I had never tried a pea protein powder before. After reading up on the Naked Nutrition Pea Protein Powder, I was immediately ..read more

Like many, I did not give much attention to eye-centered skincare until a few years into my adulthood. I first discovered VIIcode and their T2 Oxygen Eye Cream in 2016 and have been prioritizing undereye care for a few years now. A few months ago, I got to test out their T2 O2M Oxygen Eye Mask For All Night Repair which I find to be a great remedy for rejuvenating the undereye area while enjoying a restful night's sleep. More recently, I was introduced to the O2M Oxygen Eye Mask For Dark Circles* which has been a great addition to my skincare routine. Having quite visible dark circles ..read more

I've been sticking to the same skincare routine for the last few months, so with the change in seasons and running low on some staples, I was looking to switch up some of my products.

The last few months have been quite busy for me, in a good way. Between work, travel, and seeing friends and family, I've certainly been feeling it. While I do for the most part try to get a good amount of sleep, I do still wake up looking tired. The giveaway? My dark circles! Of course, a bit of concealer does the trick, but most days I am makeup-free. I've been on the hunt for a good undereye mask to help brighten my problem area and was so happy to try the VIIcode O2M Oxygen Eye Mask For All Night Repair*. These patches are packed full of anti-inflammatory, sensitive-skin friendly, and ..read more

I love trying the latest technology when it comes to skin and hair care and Laduora is a brand I've had my eyes on for a couple of years. They specialize in blue light and red light skin, sonic facial cleansing, and hair and scalp treatment. I was so intrigued by their latest release, the DUO 4-in-1 Scalp & Hair Care Device*, so when the opportunity presented itself for me to test it out, I of course was more than willing to report back on my experience! My hair has taken a bit of a beating in the last few months due to stress and dealing with back-to-back viruses and infections, so I'v ..read more

One brand I have been eyeing over the last few years is The Inkey List. I love how they focus on simple ingredients and allow you to build your own routine depending on your skin's needs without breaking the bank. With that comes a bit of overwhelm to choose suitable products for your skin type, but thankfully The Inkey List team set me up with skincare that works together to soothe and treat my acne-prone skin. My skin has taken quite the beating over the last few months (hello stress and sickness) so I could really use some acne-fighting and hyperpigmentation-treating ingredients. Let's di ..read more
