I love a nice, big, hot cup of tea. Sunday afternoon, orange pekoe or perhaps a green tea, in my favourite big mug with a cookie on the side and a good book on the table = perfection. While it tastes great, it's also packed full of antioxidants which means it's great for you too. So, it only makes sense that beauty products would contain tea to help soothe skin and prevent signs of aging.

It’s a New Year, and with a whopping 300-something days ahead of us, so too come the many opportunities to start fresh. Kicking that old smoking habit or losing those pesky last 10lbs might be top of list for many. But instead of focusing only on ditching bad patterns, why not be proactive about starting a worthy new one?

I must say, I'm not so keen about the fine lines that have...

Tell us about you!

I live in Toronto and work full-time at ChickAdvisor as the graphic designer. Chicks might know me from my PUMA look-book campaigns or from my co-op here during summer 2012.

What do you wash your face with? What moisturizer do you use?

After dating for a while, the next logical step is to consider moving in together. At least that's where I am at with the current dude in my life. When the subject was first brought up, I was excited. I mean, my boyfriend is a pretty ok guy (I like him enough, I guess) and this felt like a real grown up step for the lady who once stated that her relationships almost never lasted longer than a bag...

In my battle against winter skin, my main weapon is a good mask. Currently, I'm all about Skinceuticals Hydrating B5 Mask. They're concentrated, hydration goodness with ingredients that quickly penetrate and absorb into the skin which means that I see immediate results but those results stay with me throughout the day. So, of course, I'm always open to hearing about new products and...

I've never been quiet about my love for tea tree oil. It's always in my medicine cabinet and if I'm on the go, I am sure to have a small bottle in my bag. Because it's an antiseptic and kills bacteria, it's so multi-purpose that you just never know when it's going to come in handy! While there are so many uses for tea tree oil that would leave my head spinning (including mouth wash apparently, but...

Oh, winter you are a harsh, cruel season. After our recent snowstorm which resulted in myself having a six hour delay in an airport, my skin has been all sorts of dry lately. In an effort to get that super soft, smooth skin a la Kerry Washington, I did some digging and found a simple DIY recipe for a dry skin moisturizer to use in winter. 

And I'm adding in a special DIY recipe for oily skin...

I've dealt with my fair share of acne issues. I've chronicled them in various articles here, here and here and yet, despite how many masks and spot treatments I try out, it never ceases. It's just something I try and deal with on an ongoing basis. Essentially, my skincare routine is a balancing game: trying to figure out the perfect mix of drying and moisturizing. 

You might remember my...
