DAVIDsTEA Cardamom French Toast Tea

Cardamom French Toast DavidsTea Review - Loose

A plate full of french toast with bacon and syrup just screams winter, but is hardly healthy.  Like my chocolate fix from tea, I have found a way to enjoy this delicious french toast breakfast in tea form.  DAVIDsTEA Cardamom French Toast gives you some of the taste of that dream breakfast any time of […]

Mani Monday: Stamping With MoYou The Pro 6 Plate

Mani Monday MoYou The Pro Collection Plate 6

With the cold weather, I thought I would do a brighter mani to make me feel like it was closer to Spring.  I picked up MoYou London The Pro 06 from Trade Secrets before Christmas (heads up, their website shows The Pro XL 06 but they stock the regular 06 plate with smaller stamps).  i […]

The final of the four gold toned polishes I picked up at THEFACESHOP, Trendy Nails in GLI016 has gold, blue and green glitter with larger gold hex and square flakes in a clear base.

THEFACESHOP Trendy Nails GLI006 Swatch & Review

thefaceshop Trendy Nails Glitter GLI006 swatch

THEFACESHOP Trendy Nails in GLI006 was not one I picked up for my night out like GLI001 or GLI003 but one I was excited about as it seemed to be an almost dupe for Zoya Pixie Dust in Godiva.  Godiva is one of my favourite neutrals with some sparkle and one I have worn a […]

THEFACESHOP Trendy Nails GLI003 Swatches

thefaceshop Trendy Nails Glitter GLI003 swatch white gold

When I picked up GLI001, I couldn’t decide if the glitter would be a bit much so picked up a couple of others to try too.  At only $4 each they are great deals and it is not like I won’t use them at some point anyway.  THEFACSHOP Trendy Nails GLI003 is a silver-gold glitter […]

Wild Heather Belgian Chocolate Rooibos Tea

Wild Heather Belgian Chocolate Rooibos Tea Review Brewed

I am still on a chocolate tea kick and this Belgian Chocolate Rooibos from Wild Heather Tea Co is delicious.  Part of my healthier eating for 2016 means I am switching up chocolate or hot chocolate for chocolate teas.  While this is not as chocolatey as DAVIDsTEA’s Hot Chocolate tea, it has a smooth flavour […]

THEFACESHOP Trendy Nails Glitter GLI001 Swatch

thefaceshop Trendy Nails Glitter GLI001 swatch

I picked up THEFACESHOP Trendy Nails for a Christmas party and should have posted it ages ago.  It is shown here over a random jelly red and Zoya Storm.  The holo in Storm definitely helps it pop but it is a beautiful multi glitter topcoat. Trendy Nails GLI001 from The Face Shop is an almost […]

Birchbox December 2015 Review

Birchbox December 2015 All products

December’s Birchbox was a bit of a letdown after a great ipsy glambag.  Overall, this Birchbox was more of a what not to buy for me.  I don’t really like doing negative reviews, and wish I could find something better to say about these.  Some are decent, just there are better products out there for […]
