As much as I am glad to see the back of winter, it also means shaving daily to wear those pretty spring outfits. I will totally admit to allowing myself some “extra warmth” by not shaving as regularly in winter, works for animals right? While shopping, I noticed EOS (evolution of smooth) Shave Cream on […]

What Does Your Postal Code Say About You?
I can’t say I thought much about what our postal code would be when we moved. In fact, I remember pulling out papers trying to find it when we went to the post office to get mail forwarded from our old place. But your postal code says a lot about you and Environics has broken […]
Why I Regret Buying A Misfit Flash
One of my goals set for January was to get moving more. I am never going to be a huge fitness fanatic and am fairly frugal so I didn’t want to spend a huge amount on a fitness tracker when I wanted it for basic use – to track how often I am accountable. During […]

For the Love of Baroness Chocolates (Review)
If you know me, you know I love chocolate. But I am fussy about chocolate. Having grown up in England, I am used to creamier chocolate (and actual chocolate, not “candy” too). So I was delighted when chickadvisor chose me as one of 50 lucky Canadians to try all seven of the Baroness Chocolate bars. […]
L’Oreal Oleotherapy Sulfate-Free Oil Infused Hair Care Review

Zoya Naturel Satin Swatches: Rowan, Sage & Tove
As most of you will know, Zoya is one of my favourite brands of nail polish, they rarely disappoint. The Zoya Naturel Satins collection is a transitional collection that is meant to ease you from Winter shades to brighter Spring shades and has some great nude colours. Zoya Satins are “low-sheen”, not quite matte but […]
Batiste Dry Shampoo Review
I really don’t know how I lived before I discovered dry shampoos and Batiste has long been one of my favourites. I have really thick hair that tends towards frizzy and keep it fairly long, so washing my hair takes forever. Drying is a minimum of twenty minutes to make sure it is completely dry […]

The Essence of Affordability: Four Nail Polishes For $10?
I was planning a beauty stock up shop this past weekend when I saw that Shoppers Drug Mart was offering 20x Optimum points, but decided to stock up on some Essence when they sent me a weekly coupon for an extra 20x points on Essence nail polishes. Essence nail polishes are already super affordable at […]
