I'm a sucker for a good natural deodorant, but it takes a lot to totally please me and exceed expectations. This deodorant is good, better than most natural deodorants, but it is not great.
The reasons I love this product is because of the scent! It is fresh, light, a little jazzy, but very effectively hides any smell of sweat! I have worn this product for a week now, through 12 hour shifts, work outs, and the hottest working conditions, and this deodorant has been able to keep me from stinking! Miracle!
The reasons I don't love it is because of the texture of the deodorant.. its grainy! The package does tell you to allow it to warm up on your skin before applying fully, but who really has time for that?! I tried allowing it to warm up before rubbing it on, and it takes awhile. I don't know if this is because I live in a cold area or what, but 6/7 times I stopped letting it warm up and just scraped it into my armpits (ouch!) Not allowing it to warm up meant the deodorant tended to clump out onto my armpits, where I then let it melt into place. Not the most convenient method but effective none the less.
If this product was smoother, it would be perfect! So for myself, I probably will be buying this again simply because of how effective it is at combatting smell. BUT I will be avoiding direct use after shaving because no thanks the grainy texture really hurts after that!

Aveda Cherry Almond Leave-in Conditioner

I like to use this product when I am air drying my hair. I find it a bit too heavy for when I am styling in a hurry for work, but when I have time the product settles into my hair and makes it smooth and hydrated.

Aveda Speed of Light Blowdry Accelerator Spray
If you have never tried this blow dry accelerator, you are seriously missing out!! The difference in dry time alone should make you buy this product! When you spray this on wet hair, it doesn't weigh you down, it gives your hair a fresh light lift... +
If you have never tried this blow dry accelerator, you are seriously missing out!! The difference in dry time alone should make you buy this product! When you spray this on wet hair, it doesn't weigh you down, it gives your hair a fresh light lift. When drying, the air seems to move more freely through the strands, making it easier to use a brush and reduce frizz!!
I have very thin hair, but I have A LOT of it so it feels thick. This product takes my blow-dry time from 10 minutes down to 5. Worth the money to save time and save my hair by lightly conditioning.

I really love this makeup remover! I have had trouble before with removers irritating my eyes, but this makeup meltaway is truly fantastic!! No irritated eyes, smooth skin, and it honestly DOES remove all your makeup!
My favourite thing about this balm is that it's almost effortless to remove your makeup. You go from full face, applying the balm with the handy spoon, massaging it into your skin, and then all you have to do it rinse or wipe it clean with a damp cloth! So easy AND my eyelashes don't fall out!! You don't need to me harsh and really scrub, it literally melts off your face!
The smell is perfect cherry, and it leaves my skin feeling so smooth and hydrated! Love this product!!

I have tried at least 10 different leave in conditioners, but this one was the only one that I noticed a real difference after just one use! Using it for a week made me feel like I had a fresh hair cut. The texture of the cream is thick, but so so smooth. It doesn't weigh my hair down, and my dry time stayed the same! I usually use it on wet hair, but it's also great to tame flyaways and give any dry ends that extra moisture it needs. Love love love. Would definitely buy over and over again!! -

I love love love this lotion. This company has so many different smells for this product but this one is my favourite. So subtle but still noticeable.
This is an everyday lotion for me. Stops dry skin without making you greasy. Other lotions make you feel sweaty throughout the day but this one seems to just melt into your skin. LOVE!
It is on the pricier side, but I will forgive that fact because it's made in Canada!!

I use it to brush my hair when it's wet, while I'm blowdrying it, when it has hairspray in it, and for putting up ponytails! Seriously the only brush I need! It removes tangles easy when wet and has a really nice grip for blowdrying.

When it comes to a great mascara, I have a lot of boxes that need to be checked off. This mascara has it all!!
I am in love with this product because it easily coats all of my eyelashes, not with a bulky mass but a clean smooth lash. It doesn't need to be bulky to add volume to my lashes from every angle!
My favourite thing about this mascara is that it doesn't break my eyelashes off when they hit my glasses or if I rub my eyes. The mascara bends along with my lashes allowing for movement! There is nothing I hate more than broken eyelashes from rigid mascara.
I also find it hardly ever runs. If I get stuck in a rain storm, sure fair game its not waterproof so it will run, but for everyday laughter tears or movie crying, this mascara holds up GREAT!
Overall, in my 10 years of wearing mascara, this is my favourite to date! I will buy it every time.

I have tried so many different kinds of dry shampoo and was always frustrated! BUT this dry shampoo by Batiste is my favourite!!
Easy to use, blends really well into my brown hair, and doesn't smell like the classic baby powder dry shampoo! It's refreshing and way more subtle than other brands.
I find the bottle lasts for quite awhile so you don't run out too quick, and when you factor in the price.. seriously the best choice for dry shampoo!

Not going to lie, I was very sceptical about buying this product at first, but I am SO glad I did! I have always been a tampon wearer and couldn't imagine using anything else. I honestly only bought one because the COVID-19 pandemic was just starting in my area and I didn't want to stock pile tampons lol! Little did I know this was going to be a life changing purchase!!
You only have to remove the diva cup every 12 hours!! 12!! So I can go through an entire day at work, go for a run, put on light pants and do whatever I want that day without ever having to think about my period!
I never had any trouble with leaking, I don't even come close to "filling" the cup in the 12 hours.
It does take some time getting used to, and it can be sort of scary and intimidating at first. But keep pushing through! You will get the hang of it and never go back to buying pads or tampons again. It also comes with this little purple pouch so you can store your diva cup when you're not on your period (shown in picture).
I also bought the menstrual cup cleanser, which is also a great product and 100% plant based!
Another great perk: this product is environmentally friendly!! One diva cup lasts for an entire year, saving you tons of money on tampons/pads (seriously saving so much money) and saving the planet from them as well!
