Hello! Almost exactly two months ago I made my first purchase from Paula’s Choice! I’ve heard about Paula’s Choice for years honestly. There were always rumblings about the brand, but never really went as far to look into it much. I’ve been currently wedding planning (hoping to move forward with my extreme micro wedding end of July) and I’ve been looking at my skin more closely than ever. Under my left eye since quarantine started, I’ve had these three pretty massive milia spots. Let me be clear in that I have NOT been diagnosed by a dermatologist, but from my own self research this seems to be the most likely thing. I wanted to try and get rid of these and in my research Paula’s Choice came up a lot!
Review: Evive Nutrition Smoothies and Lunches
I know COVID has changed a lot about every day life, but one thing that hasn’t changed for me, is scrambling for a breakfast. I literally used take a yogurt cup each morning for I think two years straight. During work from home, I’ve been sleeping in later, which means I’m still scrambling for something to eat. When Evive Nutrition reached out to me offering to send their smoothie cubes and lunches, I was ecstatic! Finally! A (potential) answer to my lazy and uninspired mornings! I was ready!
Haul: Colourpop with Animal Crossing and Grogu!
Hello! This haul is so overdue, but I’m finally getting to it! When the Animal Crossing collection was released by Colourpop I jumped on it! I’m a long term fan of the series and I saw quite a few things that really caught my eye! I also took this opportunity to grab some other items I’d been eyeing but didn’t want to put a full order in for!
First Impressions: Jowae Skincare
Hello! I recently received a really exciting package from Influenster full of Jowae skincare products. I was aware of the brand when they first launched in Canada, but I never dived into any of the products fully. I’ve been meaning to really switch up my skincare routine, so I was happy to give these a go.
Personal: Meet Nicky! Our New Asthmatic Cat
Hello there! It’s been a while since I wrote a more personal post. The last month or so has been a bit of a whirlwind and I’ve just really wanted to get my thoughts down on it all. We have some very exciting news to announce in that we adopted another cat, Nicky! The road hasn’t been typical or straight at all with our new little guy. After this post and knowing our history with cats (you can read my 2019 post on our cats), you’ll be saying, wow, she really knows how to pick ’em…
First Impressions: Joico Defy Damage Sleepover
Joico is a brand that I recently tried through ChickAdvisor when I tried out the Zero Heat hair cream. I recently got sent another Joico product from ChickAdvisor, the Defy Damage treatment. I’ve been using it for about a week, and thought I’d share my quick thoughts!
First Impressions: Urban Decay Hydromaniac Tinted Glow Hydrator
I find myself always looking for new foundation as I feel like my skin is constantly in flux. In my later teens and earlier twenties, I found my skin impossibly oily. Now I’m definitely more combo-normal, and leaning dry in the winter. This new Urban Decay launch really intrigued me as they were marketing it to all skin types. With winter in full force, I thought I’d give it a try!
Review: Bruush Electronic Toothbrush
With 2020 being the year it has been I’ll be honest, I think it’s been close to a year since I’ve been to the dentist. It was perfect timing when I was sent the Bruush Electronic Toothbrush to try. I have never consistently used an electronic toothbrush. When I lived with my parents they had one (it was this one that had these interchangeable heads for each person) but it never caught on for me. I was very curious to see how this one would compare!
Haul: Canadian Small Business Gift Guide
Hello! I thought it was perfect to put together this post on the first snowfall of the season! With more people looking online for gifts, it provides the perfect opportunity to shop local, small, and Canadian. I’ve been doing some shopping for myself recently and thought I’d show you some of my favourite brands to check out!
Haul: Innisfree for the First Time
Hello! I recently had to venture to the mall to return something at Sephora which had an innisfree store right beside. I’ve been mostly fully quarantined since end of March other than seeing my immediate family. This trip to the mall was very rare and very far between, and with it being right beside, I thought I would take advantage. I mapped out exactly what I wanted before hand so I could get in and get out really quick. I thought I’d share what I picked up!
