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 ...

Hi everyone! Many of us feel overwhelmed or anxious at the mere thought of decluttering or organizing our home. It's so easy to get caught up in the day to day grind and before we know it we're surrounded by clutter and excess. I'm currently working on organizing some key areas in my home and ...

Hello beautiful friends! A few weeks ago, I hosted a Live Clean Shampoo & Conditioner giveaway on my Instagram which generated thousands of entries so I figured I'd do another one on the blog for all of you who may not follow me there. And, who doesn't love freebies or the brand Live Clean!! Instagram is where I ...
Hi beauties. I hope everyone is having a great week? I've been doing some decluttering around the house this month and have decided to only hang onto the things that I absolutely need (ok that doesn't entirely apply to my shoe, beauty and essential oil collection but I promise I've been scaling back!). Sometimes it ...
