Ahhh L’Occitane… If you know, you know.
This brand never misses, and I’m honestly so proud to share that I was selected to receive the absolutely gorgeous L’Occitane Almond Shimmering Oil for free!
The scent? Divine.
The silky finish on the skin? Chef’s kiss.
And the glow? Like liquid gold but soft, elegant, never over the top. ✨
It melts into the skin and leaves this subtle, radiant shimmer that’s just… wow.
Trust me, if I were you, I’d run to try it.
And let’s be honest: no one leaves that store with just one thing. Hahaha
Huge thanks to @loccitane, @sephoracanada, and @thisisbutterly for the gift 💛

✨ New hair essential just dropped… and I’m obsessed.
I’ve been using the Quick-Dry Hair Towel from @helloeverist and wow, total game changer.
I usually dry my hair with a heat air brush, but I have to wait until it’s more damp than wet, otherwise… hello heat damage. 🙃
The waiting part? Not cute. And it used to take forever. But this towel? It cuts the drying time in half. Literally.
✔️ It’s super plush and gentle (waffle microfiber that absorbs up to 10x its weight in water!)
✔️ No tugging, no frizz, no breakage
✔️ Comes with a little elastic strap so it actually stays put: hands-free and cute
✔️ And my hair feels smoother and shinier without me even trying
Also, it comes in the cutest reusable Everist pouch… love a moment that’s both practical and aesthetic. 💁🏼♀️🛁
Now I wrap, chill for a few, and boom, ready for the brush.
Shiny, frizz-free hair without the long wait. OBSESSED.

I had the pleasure of trying out this Vasanti Colour Correcting Concealer V01, and honestly, it changed my makeup routine (for the better!). I’ve been struggling with dark circles for years and here’s what I think about the product:
✔️ The more liquid texture is just perfect for me. For women 40+, that’s exactly what we need to avoid emphasizing fine lines.
✔️ The color is what I loved the most! I used to try covering my dark circles with yellow correctors, but that was always a mistake since yellow is better for purple-toned dark circles (remember the color wheel rule).
✔️ The applicator is quite different. Most correctors have sponge tips, but this one is a brush. I feel like this way we waste less product, as sponges tend to “soak up” a lot.
✔️ The packaging is also smart… it helps avoid waste at the end since you can squeeze out the last bit of product.
✔️ I also received the 202 Stubby Flat Foundation Brush, and after testing it did I realize how little product it absorbs and how soft it feels on the skin. Definitely a nice bonus!
After using it my skin looks more even, with a smooth transition from under my eyes to my cheeks.
After that, I applied a skin-tone concealer on both sides: on one side, over the Vasanti Colour Correcting Concealer I had already applied, and on the other side, directly on bare skin (like I used to do). You can really notice how the side without correction looks more greyish, and the dark circle shadow is still there.
Of course, I fell in love with this Vasanti concealer. It’s now a must-have in my makeup bag, and it’s made right here in Canada. Let’s support our local brands! 🇨🇦

Can we just talk about how perfect this For Living Pull-Out Storage Bench is? Big shoutout to Canadian Tire and Butterly for gifting me this stylish and functional piece!
First off, this bench is a total multitasker. It’s a storage solution and a nice seat, all wrapped up in a sleek, modern design. The clean white finish and those cut-out handles? Minimalist goals. But don’t let the style fool you… It’s super practical too.
The pull-out drawer is roomy enough to stash blankets, shoes, or basically anything you want to keep out of sight.
It’s also crazy sturdy, supports up to 100 kg, and even comes with self-leveling glides, so no annoying wobble. Oh, and putting it together was way easier than I expected: super simple and headache-free (win!). Honestly, it’s the perfect mix of form and function, and it’s already elevated my space. I’m obsessed!

It’s Christmas around here! 🎄LOL
That’s because I won this WONDERFUL Christmas tree from @canadiantire in partnership with @thisisbutterly and I couldn’t resist setting it up. Of course, there will be more ornaments to come, but the pre-lit NOMA Taylor twinkle tree alone is enough. This natural and realistic 7-foot tree is a stunning Christmas decoration. There are 3,500 warm-white micro-bright LED lights with twinkle function all over the tree as well as leaves with PVC branch tips, which makes the 7-foot tree super natural and realistic. Seriously, I’m STUNNED!!!
I promise to post it all ready for Christmas.

I recently had the chance to try the NOMA Portable Spot Cleaner, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations! First off, the 450W motor is incredibly powerful, making it easy to tackle stubborn stains on upholstery and carpets, and the 15’ power cord provides great flexibility for larger areas.
The dual tank system is another standout feature. It’s convenient having separate tanks for clean and dirty water, this makes filling, emptying, and rinsing a breeze. Also, both tanks are perfect for quick and thorough cleanups without frequent stops to empty or refill.
The upholstery tool works wonders on furniture, and the deep clean this compact machine provides is impressive.
⭐️ Thanks to @canadiantire and @thisisbutterly for gifting me this! It’s been a game-changer for keeping my home spotless. Highly recommend for anyone needing a powerful, portable cleaning solution.
