Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIt's amazing how much article material I get from a single conversation with my girlfriends. In one chat sesh, we'll discuss everything from hair removal methods to the latest Netflix offerings (p.s. Orange is the New Black, anyone?). Now, I don't want to toot my own horn, but usually in these little meetings, I'm the go to gal for all questions beauty related. However, I recently picked up a few...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI'm a total sucker for packaging. I will buy something I have no need for simply because I like the box. Puh-lease tell me that I'm not the only one who squeals with excitement and delight when they see an item that is just too cute to handle? Something that can look so fabulous on a vanity, brighten up any space or add a little fun to your makeup kit. Plus, let's be real: it's cute, you want...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basHave you ever seen the Pinterest 'My Imaginary Well Dressed Toddler'? If you haven't you need to, because those are some gosh darn fashionable little toddlers. Adorable baby clothes are pretty much my main motivation for wanting to have children. Which brings me to this week's Mom & Baby Review of the Week: Baby Clothing Stores!
When you review a baby clothing store between July 29 and...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basAs many of you know from previous articles, I've dealt with my fair share of acne. I've used so many products and treatments (everything from yoghurt and lemon juice to glycolic acid), so I consider myself something of an acne treatment connoisseur. Of course, that doesn't mean that I don't love and need your recommendations. This week, from July 29 to August 4 when you review an acne treatment...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basRemember how cranky I can get when the heat starts to hit Ryan Gosling-esque levels of hotness? Let's just say I'm not exactly Snow White getting dressed by small animals. More like the Evil Queen grimacing in a mirror. In an effort to remain calm, cool and collected throughout the summer, I've been finding products to help me out. While it doesn't exactly cool me enough to feel like the North...

First there was the BB cream, which is a Beauty or Blemish Balm. Similar to a tinted moisturizer, BB creams gave coverage and moisturization but with added benefits like SPF or antioxidants. It was a major hit. Then, there was the CC cream and yet again, we collectively lost our minds over a new product. CC cream stands for Colour Correcting...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI once told you about a wonderfully relaxing, albeit naked time I had at a Korean sauna. I was in my birthday suit and there was a massage that occurred. I won't go into all the details. What I want to tell you about today is something that happened during my massage. My masseuse gave me something called a dry brushing.
Getchyo' mind outta the gutter.
Dry brushing is using a rougher,...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basJust like I associate Christmas with the scent of eggnog, gingerbread and peppermint, summer has a distinct set of smells as well. For me, summer is filled with fresh, invigorating scents that make me think of lying on a beach with a mojito in hand, even if I'm actually lying in an office chair with bad coffee.
Here are four of my favourite summer scents and a few ways to incorporate...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI love my bed. I love going to bed. It's my personal space. It's a time just for me and it's the place I go to unwind from a day at the office and catch a moment's peace. Clearly, beds are important. Because they are where you will end up spending many hours every night, I think your bed should be decked out with everything you love.
How do you surround yourself? I put together a few...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basNot too long ago, I let you in on a little secret for fixing clump city lashes: use an old wand to separate them! This got me thinking, were there other uses out there for old mascara wands? I always end up with loads of tubes and mascara wand samples can easily be picked up (i.e. sneaked out) from Sephora, other uses for them would be so handy dandy!
Well, I found 'em. Prepare for 5...
