Wandering Pixie is a locally owned shop that makes beautiful, natural soaps and other skincare products. I stumbled upon their booth at a local market and have been a dedicated lover of their creations since.
A gem for the springtime, their handmade cold process Lavender Ginger soap has easily become a favourite of mine. With swirls of cocoa butter and essential oils, this soap radiates such a calming energy.
It lathers well, softens your skin, and will leave you feeling sparkling clean after each use. It is an essential in my book.

With swirling scents of sweet orange blossom and nutty pistachio, this luscious lip butter nourishes and hydrates better than any lip product I’ve sampled to date. Made with all natural ingredients, its lightweight formula melts to the touch and provides all-day moisture on even the warmest of days.
This lip butter is best used after your morning skincare routine as the scent is full of energy. It’s also exquisite to move through your day with the lingering aromas of this groovy natural product right under your nose.

I am in love with all natural coffee-scented skincare products, so it was a match made in heaven when I stumbled upon Cup O’ Coffee at Lush.
Earthy, moisturizing, and beautifully textured, this mask is everything and more. My skin feels plump and better circulated after each use, and the caffeine-rooted glow is undeniably angelic.
Cup O’ Coffee is best used in the early morning, when your skin is craving an ounce of radiance and energy. The scent is so invigorating on its own that you can skip the freshly brewed coffee and opt for this mask instead. Lorelei Gilmore would approve.

I was seeking out a new lip balm and discovered the brand Hurraw, known for their vegan, organic balms made with only raw ingredients. I fell in love with their selection of scents and flavours (i.e. tangerine chamomile, neroli almond, lavender rose) and decided on the classic vanilla bean.
I want to love the product more than I do. With such a dreamy scent, sustainable formula, and cute packaging, it hits almost all the marks. When generously applied, it has this smooth, creaminess to the touch, but within minutes, that’s disappeared and my lips feel chapped again.
I’ve heard such good things about this product, and I think it’s so important to support clean beauty brands, so if you’re intrigued, give it a try. It just wasn’t what I was looking for.

I originally received this as a handpicked sample via an online order and immediately fell in love with the packaging. The design is quite minimalistic and frank, easily reflecting the ethics of the brand as a whole; Vegan, cruelty free, and packaged with love and recyclable material.
Now, let me just say, I feel so full of grace when I lather this all over my body fresh out of the shower. I feel so clean! Like a flower fresh out of the rain. It’s such an endearing scent, especially for the springtime, with blends of camellia oil and geranium blossom all being very much present.
When applied as a facial moisturizer, my skin is always left silky smooth, and it’s helped with some of the unevenness as well. I like to gently press it into my skin post-application for better absorption, which is actually recommended on their website.
I use this sparingly and occasionally because the price is a little high for me, but if I could, I would definitely use this on the daily. It makes me feel lavish!

Sukin has been my skincare go-to for years now. As an essential part of my morning and night routine, their Sensitive Skin Cleanser Gel has helped me maintain decent skin well into my 20's, so I was intrigued when I saw the release of their Radiant line. As a woman with quite sensitive and acne-prone skin, I am usually hesitant to try anything new on my face, but I decided to give this cleanser a try as the ingredients excited me (ie: Mango butter, Kakadu plum, and pineapple extract).
Perhaps I am being dramatic, but after three days of using this, my skin looks better than it has my whole life. It somehow manages to give me that post-yoga glow without the yoga! It is hydrating, fresh, and – yes – makes me look and feel radiant.
Divinely made, its light and fruity aromas feel like such a mood booster on early mornings when my skin most needs freshening. I move through my day invigorated because my skin feels so loved. Being both sustainable and vegan, it is empowering to support a brand that aligns with my values.
If you’re looking for a sign to treat yourself today, this is it! Your skin will thank you later.
