One of my best friends has been singing the praises of Eminence Organics skincare for years. I’ll admit to pooh-poohing organic and natural skincare in the past, but boy have things in that niche changed. I finally went to the famous Ottawa boutique spa, Oresta Organic Skincare, for one of the best facials I have…
Damn you, acne! One would think that by the time we are long past puberty, long past childbearing and on our way to *cough* menopause *cough* that acne would cease to be an issue. It doesn’t have to be menopausal either – PMS zits, stress hormone zits…. I’ve battled them for so many years that…
I love citrus scents. They’re uplifting and boost our mood, as well as simply smelling good. Citrus fragrances are decidedly unisex, which make them perfect for sharing. Citrus fragrances are particularly lovely in hot weather – like drinking a tall ice cold glass of refreshing juice. My recent favourites are soft and wonderful. Never too…
I recently had a hankering for a dark navy blue polish with shimmer – yes, my hankerings are *that* specific. An,d while I love Chanel Blue Satin, it somehow felt too dark for summer. It’s a rather awesome “too blue to be black, too black to be blue” shade and I love it, but I…

They are going on all summer, in many cities, and feature everything from the giant headliners at Osheaga and Coachella, to awesome local…
If you haven’t tried the DECIEM Hylamide, and you have skin, dude. Get on it! The eye and facial serums in the DECIEM line are blowing my mind. And I’m not the only beauty blogger who is loving this stuff. We get pretty jaded, what with the LATEST! NEWEST! BECAUSE SCIENCE! stuff that arrives for…
It’s indeed a good sign that my posts on sunscreen are so popular. We all know now that we have to protect our skin. This morning I did a segment on CTV Ottawa and mentioned some terrific sunscreen options. Here is a link to the segment: CTV Ottawa Morning Live: Sunscreen For Sexy Skin And…
I have been a lover of Nivea forever. I have loved their Q10plus line since it was launched – every Q10plus product is lovely and does what it promises. The Nivea Q10plus Body Lotion is always in my body lotion arsenal. I try many but that one always sticks around. Their Firming Q10plus Cellulite Gel…
Music: I have really been loving my smooth seventies rock playlists – “Yacht Rock” on Songza is a favourite, but yes I have my own as well. Now, if I can only figure out the latest iTunes iteration and My Music, hopefully I can find them. I’m not sure why, but this music just feels…
