Another #CBBxManiMonday. This month, we are doing festive nails but inspired by Trysh, I went for cozy sweater nails this week. Not exactly festive but the colder weather in December screams for cute sweaters. I did a base of Alter Ego Clever Girl. It is a metallic chocolate brown with a silvery chrome base that […]
Affordable Milk Frothers & Accessories for Tea Lattes
So, if you are a member of one the DAVIDsTEA fan groups, you have probably seen the amazing tea lattes people make daily. They are not hard to make and the accessories do not have to be expensive. Sure, some of them have $100+ milk frothers or milk steamers. But you do not need them. […]
In Hindsight, The Glitter Was A Mistake
I seem to be in a bit of a rut with my nails. I think something will look cute but the execution just isn’t there. Plus, being injured, I can’t sit for long periods to do them so that wipes out some ideas. Not sure what I expected this holiday themed mani to look like […]

Live Clean Liquid Hand Soaps Holiday Collection
I wash my hands a lot between swatching. You get glitter and pooling even with liquid latex and careful removal. So a good hand soap is important. Live Clean hand soaps are moisturizing while being 98% plant derived and paraben, phthalate and SLS free. So helpful when you are washing your hands multiple times in […]
Beauty Lash Tinting Kit for Brows & Lashes Review
My mum ever let me pluck my brows into oblivion as a teen so I am lucky to have a decent amount of brow left in my 30s. They are naturally fairly dark and thick and need constant waxing/plucking. But I still get random light hairs in them and my lashes are lighter at the […]
