Have you ever idly waltzed into Sephora, swatching products on your hand and smelling whichever perfumes with pretty bottles, just because, only to find one of those scents just stays in the back of your mind?  Have you ever gone back in to try it on your skin, only to get compliments from everybody you see that day? Well that's what happened to me with this bold scent, and today I am here with a review for you. The first thing that drew me to this perfume was how minimalist and chic the bottle was. It is a comfortable size to hold in your hand, and looks great on a vanity. As a huge Sephora addict I also enjoy how the bottle resembled the iconic store entrance. However, it was actually inspired by Marc Jacob's runway collections, combining black and white, stripes and circular, glossy and frosted matte into something unique, striking and beautiful. This scent both looks and smells contemporary, and fresh, with out being boring. I feel like I can wear this perfume to work, but ...

Testing skin care is always a bit of an emotional roller coaster for me. When it arrives I am always so excited, but when it rolls around time to try I always am a bit worried that it won't go well with my skin.  I've never really had a reaction, but still, it scares me a bit. I've been testing out these products and am happy to be reporting back with good results! Nip + Fab is a skin care brand that I have noticed for sale in the "end cap" section of some Shoppers Drug Marts.  Their price point it what I would describe as "mid range drugstore" with most items in the $15 range (give or take). Glycolic Instant Fix Mask This clear gel mask has a mild scent and applies to the skin smoothly and evenly.  A little bit goes a long way-- and it is easy to remove after you are done.  I recommend keeping this mask in the fridge because it feels so good applied cool!  I found that this didn't really feel like anything on my skin, and left my skin feeling hydrat...

Earlier this summer I was sent this foundation for my review and today I am here with my thoughts. This summer in Toronto has been one of the hottest on record.  I arrive t work sweating, and I can't count the number of times I have burned part of my face by simply walking outside. In the summer I crave lighter foundations, and SPF is not up for negotiation, so of course I was thrilled to try this out. Sheer Tint comes in 3 shades: light, medium and dark.  I have not seen the other two shades so I can't really speak to their range.  Given how sheer "light" is, I think that you could probably make it work. The product smells strongly of sunscreen, and has a bit of an odd consistency when it comes out of the tube. I had as much success applying it with my fingers as I did with a beauty sponge. I found that after using it for a week straight my skin was radiant and clear, so clearly the skin care ingredients in it work. If you have dark circles or bad acne or scars this ...

Have you ever driven by a shop so many times, thought about going, and then always had something get in the way? Well that's basically what THE TEN SPOT has been for me.  I drive by their Leslieville location almost every morning on the way to work, and now I finally have an excuse to stop by. On Wednesday THE TEN SPOT will be celebrating their 10th anniversary.  To celebrate, all locations are offering free quickie manis, pedis or waxes between 11 am and 7 pm.  To make the celebration all about giving back, they are also partnering with Dress for Success affiliates across Canada. Guests are encouraged to donate unopened makeup or beauty products, gently used business accessories (black shoes or purses), or a monetary donation to help empower women to achieve economic independence.  THE TEN SPOT was founded by Kristen Wood when she was only 24 years old.  I always love to see women lead businesses giving back to women. There will be giveaways at each location, i...

Recently I had the opportunity to test out some kale chips from a Canadian company, and I figured, hey, why not?   Now I want to preface this whole entire experience (and giveaway!) with the following: I have never had kale chips before.   I did not expect them to taste good. I figured they would be healthy.   Now, I also wanted to add that I am generally pretty open to trying new healthy foods and generally like to try to live a healthy life. When I was in high school I was able to convince myself that I liked green tea, because it was healthy, and now it’s the only tea I drink! So with all of that in mind... let's get started! Now, what was this opportunity?   Well Pure and Simple spa in Yorkville had a bit of an open house on for beauty bloggers showcasing green beauty.   Healthy Crunch was there sampling kale chips, and while I was skeptical I figured I wanted to try everything.   And…the crazy thing was, I actually enjoyed the Say Cheeze!   It di...
