I’ve been using the Birch Babe Rejuvenating Face Cream for a couple of weeks, and it works well for my dry skin. The balmy texture melts in easily, no tugging or greasiness, and it absorbs fast, leaving my skin comfortably moisturized. The scent is subtle, like a light herbal blend, which I appreciate.
After about a week, I noticed my skin looked brighter in the mornings, and some of my post-acne dark spots seemed lighter. With powerhouse ingredients like Niacinamide and Ferulic Acid, it provides both hydration and a gentle boost for skin renewal. Definitely a solid choice for anyone with dry or mature skin looking for a little extra love!

I’ve tried countless exfoliators, and Vasanti BrightenUp! has been one of the top contenders in my routine.
I have combination skin with stubborn dead skin around my nose and mouth corners, along with some hyperpigmentation on my cheeks from sun exposure. After just one use, my skin felt noticeably smoother and looked brighter, allowing skincare products to absorb better and makeup to apply more seamlessly.
The microdermabrasion crystals provide deep yet gentle exfoliation, while the papaya enzymes effectively break down dead skin without irritation. Unlike some scrubs that leave my skin feeling stripped, this one leaves it refreshed and balanced.
After a week of consistent use, I’ve noticed my dark spots appearing lighter, and my complexion looking more even. It also helps keep my pores clear, reducing blackheads in T-zone. It’s oil-free and safe for sensitive areas.
If you struggle with dullness, congestion, or uneven skin tone, this exfoliator might be what you need!

I’m always on the lookout for clean, effective haircare that’s also eco-friendly, so I was excited to try Everist’s Shampoo Concentrate and Deep Conditioning Concentrate. After just a few washes, I can say these viral tubes deliver on their promises - leaving my hair healthy, hydrated, and full of shine while reducing waste.
Shampoo Concentrate
This shampoo is unlike anything I’ve used before. Since it’s a concentrate, a little goes a long way, and once mixed with water, it transforms into a creamy lather. The rosemary and peppermint oil leave my scalp feeling refreshed and invigorated. It hydrates without weighing my hair down, and I appreciate that it’s free from sulfates and synthetic fragrances.
Deep Conditioning Concentrate
This conditioner has a thick, easy-to-spread texture that instantly makes my hair feel soft and nourished. I especially love that it doubles as a deep treatment mask - leaving it on for 15 minutes gives me even silkier, more manageable strands. The 40% aloe vera and pumpkin seed oil keep my ends hydrated and smooth. I also noticed that my colour-treated hair looks shinier and healthier after using this.
Overall, I’m really impressed with Everist’s sustainable approach to haircare, and I can definitely see myself using it long-term!

The Type A 7-Drawer Storage Tower Organizer has been a game-changer for my daughter’s room! It’s perfect for keeping her school and art supplies neat and organized. The mix of 2 large, 1 medium, and 4 small drawers makes it easy to store everything - from notebooks and stationery to paints and craft materials.
I love the transparent design, which helps her quickly find what she needs without making a mess. The swivel castors with brakes make it easy to move around when she’s working on different projects but keep it securely in place when needed. Plus, assembly was effortless, no tools required!
This organizer has helped create a clean, clutter-free space, and my daughter loves how easy it is to use. Highly recommend for any parent looking to tame the chaos of kids’ supplies!

The 16” CANVAS Round Wood Serving Tray is a game-changer for anyone who loves entertaining! The natural acacia wood finish is beautiful, it adds a touch of earthy elegance to my table setting, whether I’m serving appetizers, charcuterie, or even using it as a CNY snack tray.

This tray is solidly built, no wobbling, warping, or scratches, even after frequent use. It holds heavy plates, bowls, and platters well without losing its shape. The 1-year warranty is a huge plus, and cleanup is a breeze (a quick wipe-down is all it needs!).
If you want a versatile, high-quality serving piece that elevates every occasion, this is it! 10/10.

L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Balm is a lifesaver for my dry hands, especially during Toronto’s cold, windy winters or after constant hand washing.
The 150ml tube is packed with 25% shea butter, creating a rich, protective layer that calms eczema flare-ups and keeps my hands soft, smooth, and hydrated all day. Despite its richness, it absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feeling. Over time, it’s improved my skin texture, faded old scars, and built resilience against flaking and dryness.
I also love the light, clean shea butter scent - it’s subtle and not overpowering. A little goes a long way, and one tube can last me all year. For the results it delivers, it’s absolutely worth it!

I recently tried the Amplify Shampoo and Conditioner Bars by Jack 59 and found the experience both unique and enjoyable.
The bars came in a gift set with a convenient storage box, which made it easy to keep them dry and organized. The shampoo bar lathered quickly with water, and the conditioner bar glided on smoothly without leaving any greasy residue. After use, my hair felt soft and noticeably more voluminous.
Compact, effective, and travel-friendly, these bars are a sustainable option that helps reduce plastic waste. With a variety of formulas for different hair types, they’re worth exploring if you’re curious about switching up your hair care routine!

With the cooler days of early fall setting in, I was excited to try the L'Occitane @loccitane Almond Milk Concentrate for some much-needed hydration. This body cream has a light, silky texture that absorbs quickly, and I’ve been using it right after my shower. It keeps my skin soft and moisturized all day without any greasiness. The almond scent is lovely, and I really like how it fades into a subtle, powdery note that lingers nicely on the skin. The glass jar adds a luxurious touch, and I love that it’s easy to get every bit of product out. Plus, the eco-refill option makes it even more environmentally friendly. Overall, it’s a must-have for smooth, hydrated skin this fall!
