A Beauty & Style Blog
Dull, tired-looking skin is not just something middle-aged women experience. Women (and men) in their 20's and 30's also experience dullness and dehydration or can wake up feeling unrefreshed and looking fatigued. Neutrogena knows this and recently tasked four young scientists across the globe to create a new range of products powered by Neoglucosamine® (a ...
With everything happening in the world right now and the absolute need for all of us to be social distancing, now more than ever self-care routines should be the daily norm at home. As many of you know, in addition to running this blog, I also work in the healthcare field. I want to start ...
A New Year usually means a new you or at least a resolution to make some sort of change for the better. Am I right? This month I've partnered with Revive Superfoods - a local Canadian start-up company to see what all the smoothie hype is about and have been testing out their preservative free, ...
Beautiful makeup starts with healthy skin and a consistent skin care routine can make a world of difference on how your skin looks and feels. Winter usually brings out the worst in my skin. It gets super dry, dull and red from the cold and it can also have an uneven texture. I am always ...

Last year, a friend of mine recommended I try a Body Scrub from Laline, a quaint little store she discovered in CF Sherway Gardens (in Toronto). The store, which I later learned was a popular chain in Israel, carries the most charming products for face, bath & body. I had never heard of Laline before and assumed ...
Bath & Body Works releases new scents quite often and although I have an affinity to their more fruity or tropical scents, I do sometimes find myself falling in love with something totally unexpected or become attached at least one new fragrance every season. A few of my long-time favourites are At The Beach & ...
Last month I launched a skincare series to showcase some of the best products I've come across to hydrate and protect Winter-parched skin. My first post, linked here focused specifically on cleansers, toners and facial mists. Make sure to check it out if you are looking to change up your cleansing routine, or need some ...
Ugh. The weather in Toronto is not playing nice! The past several weeks we've had to deal with freezing rain, ice pellets, cold winds and extreme temperatures. As this undesirable weather continues to hammer through most of Canada, I thought I'd launch a "winter warriors" skincare series and highlight products that can stand up to the redness, flaking ...
Last weekend some local bloggers and I were invited to Hotel X in Toronto for a "staycation" to celebrate the launch of Bio-Oil's new Dry Skin Gel - a unique gel-to-oil formula for dry skin. This launch marks the brand’s second (and only) new product in over 30 years! Many of you know that I've used Bio-Oil ...
I was a pretty simple kid. I never really asked for many things except a Cabbage Patch doll, an electric synthesizer from Kmart (and no I could not play the piano), barbies and a budgie....you know regular kid stuff. I always wanted Cougar boots though. The cool kids wore them to school with the laces ...
