Treat yourself this winter to the Ultra Rich Body Cream from L’Occitane. This is my new holy grail product and I will continue to rave about it.
Winter in Canada wrecks havoc on my skin. It’s dry, and itchy, and just an overall uncomfortable feeling. I’ve always had a hard time finding products that work and help me get through the dreaded winter. I’m beyond impressed with the Ultra Rich Body Cream from L’Occitane. It’s like a full on spa treatment in the comfort of my own home.
❄️A little goes a long way and you only need a small amount
❄️The cream is super thick and extremely hydrating, but absorbs very well.
❄️Skin feels soft and smooth. No stickiness or greasiness in comparison to other creams.
❄️Made in France, so you know it’s a top tier item with quality ingredients
❄️Holy grail winter product. Perfect for dry to very dry skin.

I’m a passionate foodie and I’m also super into health and wellness. Whenever those two interests meet, I’d absolutely magical.

Say it Ain't Soda - Citrusy Symphony

Fall is finally here. Nothing pairs better than a baking session once the crisp weather hits. After my much needed bake off, I like to unwind. A second time that is. My newest obsession is the Citrusy Symphony by Say It Ain’t Soda. Best of all, it’s made in Canada. 🇨🇦
The flavour profile is unique and truly one of a kind. I love the blend of fruity flavour that has a peppery kick to it. It’s definitely unlike anything I’ve ever had before. It’s bubbly, refreshing, and delicious. The most prominent flavour I noticed was lime which is one of my favourites. Best of all, it’s not overly sweet and overwhelming.
As a lover of health and wellness, Say It Ain’t Soda checks off a lot of boxes. It’s made with real ingredients and contains only 8g of sugar.
Say It Ain’t Soda is starting to make its way across Canada and you can find it at Metro, IGA, London Drugs, and specialty retailers. Don’t feel like leaving the house? No worries. Shop online at well.ca or healthyplanetcanada.com to get your fix.

NEOSTRATA® Brightening Eye Cream

My brain does not want to shut off at night. I’ll be scrolling Pinterest for hours and then “hey remember that time in high school…” “oh and I wonder what I want to eat tomorrow.” Yea. It’s a non stop spiral. That being said, I’m not getting a full nights rest every night. As a result, I’m prone to tired eyes and sometimes those dark circles. Nobody is really into the raccoon look, so I’m happy to have added the Brightening Eye Cream by Neostrata to my daily routine.
I love that it’s fragrance free since I prefer my facial skincare to be unscented. Typically, I’ll use it twice a day, during my morning routine and my night routine. Over time, it helps the eye area appear brighter, radiant, and more awake. It helps to target dark circles, so you feel less guilty about those late nights.
The applicator is easy to use. Simply pump out the amount you need and apply to the eye area. I definitely prefer this type of applicator as opposed to an eye dropper or a tiny jar/tub. It applies and absorbs nicely as well.
Add the Brightening Eye Cream by Neostrata to your skincare lineup. You won’t be disappointed!
I received this product for free from Butterly to review.

Summer means endless adventures. Whether you’re embarking on a road trip, a beach getaway, or just hanging out in the backyard, I’d like to introduce you to your new favourite snack. Let’s get poppin with Poptastic Popcorn. My flavour of choice is the Honey Salt.
I won’t lie. I was a bit skeptical at first once I read the flavour, but I’m beyond happy that I tried it. It’s a perfect blend of sweetness and a hint of salty goodness. It’s a tad more on the sweet side, but it’s delicious. The aroma that floats out once you open the bag is absolutely divine. It’s gluten free, non gmo, and made with natural ingredients. My favourite feature is that it’s made with avocado oil, which is a huge plus in my books. Poptastic is definitely one of the best popcorn brands out there. Made by the makers of Hard Bite, they’re Canadian and awesome. Grab yourself a bag today and enjoy the sweet and salty combination for yourself!

I love my morning coffee, but it’s not very teeth friendly. I recently added the TheraBreath Whitening Mouthwash to my morning routine. It’s perfect for anyone who regularly enjoys coffee, tea, wine, or other delicious items that unfortunately can cause stains.
TheraBreath was created by a dentist, so you know it’s some top-tier stuff. It’s gluten free, vegan, halal, and kosher, so everyone can enjoy its magical benefits. It doesn’t contain alcohol and it also doesn’t have that stinging, tingling, or burning that you get with other mouthwashes. Not only does it help to remove current stains, but it also helps to prevent new ones from forming.
I use it every morning right before I head out for the day. The whitening effect does take a bit of use to start noticing an effect, but hey, good things talk time.
Overall, TheraBreath makes incredible products and I’m honoured to add the Whitening Mouthwash to my morning routine and self care collection. It has a smooth flavour and doesn’t cause burning or stinging. It’s effective, it freshens breath, and helps you maintain that sparkling smile.

Let’s talk health and wellness! I have an inner hippie who loves to come out to play. From supplements and vitamins, to naturopaths and holistic health, I love it all. I recently added the Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies by Goli to my daily routine. Some of my favourite features are:
🌸Gummies taste great and are easy to take
🌸Goli Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies came be found at Costco! Who doesn’t love a good Costco run? Samples, snacks, and all the goodies!
🌸The gummies help support the immune system as well as digestion and overall health.
🌸I prefer to take them after breakfast and lunch or dinner. But a whole bottle can last a while. You may take 1-2 gummies up to 3 times a day.
🌸Gummies are vegan and gluten free
🌸I love the added vitamin B12 for an extra boost
Overall, I’m really happy with Goli gummies. They’re an awesome addition to my already stocked supplement cabinet and I love adding these to my daily vitamin regimen. They taste much better than drinking apple cider vinegar straight and it’s a phenomenal way to add a little extra something to your overall health and well-being.
