I’ve been a coffee addict for as long as I can remember! And let me tell you, I’m not just a coffee addict, but quite the coffee snob! I think need up buying an incredible coffee machine so I could make my own coffee at home because I didn’t like the coffee that’s available in most “coffee shops”! And I judge a place on how great it is based on the coffee I can find there! So you will believe me when I tell you - I wasn’t aware of this coffee till I tasted it! Saltwinds coffee really does live up to the hype and surpasses it too!
Despite being a snob - there’s one thing most coffee brands won’t tell you - and this is it - coffee wasn’t traditionally shipped in shops with metal hulls or even stored in metal containers. The really good coffee tasted as good as it did because it was seasoned with the salt winds that reached the coffee beans through the wooden hulls of the ships! And not that I know there is this incredible family in New Brunswick that’s keeping the true excellent taste of coffee alive the way it traditionally is meant to be, I’m so glad I discovered it! Now I urge you to go taste it for yourself as well! Don’t wait - the coffee is calling your name!

PanOxyl Acne Body Spray

I have been using multiple PanOxyl products for my own and my daughter’s acne for the last 2 odd years. Then I heard that they launched this spray for Body Acne and I was so keen to try it. Specially because my daughter’s now has body acne on her back like her Mama used to.
With 2% Salicylic acid (I swear by Salicylic acid as an ingredient in all my acne products due to its effectiveness and have been using it since my own teenage years) - it’s amazing with the way it treats acne by reducing swelling, redness and unblocking blocked pores, enabling the shrinkage of pimples.
This spray is very convenient for acne on the body on anreas like the back that aren't always easy to reach & the spray ensures it covers a large area while maintaining hygiene since it doesn’t need to be applied by the fingers.
While I’ve only just started using it on my daughter & myself, I was pleasantly surprised to see and feel an improvement in just one use - overnight! Within just 1 week, we both noticed a significant reduction in the size and severity of our acne. I can’t speak for people with skin types different from ours, but this spray has done a great job for our combination skin that is more oily than not - specially on our backs.
What I’ve noticed the most is that in addition to treating existing acne, this spray appears to be very effective at preventing additional breakouts. It’s very quick and easy for us to apply it on each others’s backs after a shower before bed and that makes it very convenient to add it to my routine before bed. We use other products on our face and this for the body but this spray can also be used on the face.
This spray from PanOxyl has pleasantly surprised us with its quick-acting formula and results, specially for acne prone areas prone to frequent and painful breakouts.
This is now our go-to body acne treatment.

Don’t you just hate it when you break out when you least want? Me too! So when you have a zit pop up when you least expect it to & you wish it would disappear fast, I gotchu!!
These PanOxyl PM Overnight Spot Patches are the answer to my daughters and my prayers! These latex - free hydrocolloid patches absorb the pus and fluid in your zits, protect your skin, and help prevent the risk of Infection and scarring that comes with constantly touching them. The bonus is that they are almost invisible when applied and are safe for all skin types!!
So easy to use, all you need to do is just peel and stick on clean, dry skin. Keep them on overnight (or even use in the day) and peel them off to reveal smaller, more zit.
Now even you know my secret for how to get rid of stubborn blemishes - quickly!

After using the lavender sugar scrub in my shower, I had to treat my skin to the incredible Nectarlife Shea Moostirizing Body Butter. This body butter is surprisingly non greasy after it gets absorbed into the skin. And it really moisturises the skin, keeping it feeling soft and bouncy while also looking like it had a gorgeous glow! I love the fact that it contains both vitamin-rich shea butter and avocado oil which was a new skincare ingredient for me! The scent of the body butter left me with a beautiful, light, delicate, sweet floral smell with a herbal undertone.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that I can also use this 2-in-1 Formula which consists of Whipped soap + shaving butter as a great way to prep my skin for a silky-smooth, irritation-free and easy shave. I felt that my skin felt deeply moisturised, hydrated, softer, nourished and smoother. It also had a definite glow after applying which I don’t get from my usual moisturizers. I find the best way to get it to really absorbed into my skin is to massage it immediately after my shower while my skin is still damp. Love this body butter and recommend this to anyone looking to deeply hydrate their skin without feeling greasy after!

I love using body scrubs but had to stop for a long while due to my radiation treatments and how sensitive my skin has become. When I got the Nectarlife Exfoliating Body Scrub, I was apprehensive if I would be able to use it but when I opened it I was pleasantly surprised to see how fine and moist it was. So I used it to not only cleanse but also moisturise my skin in the shower. I love the scent of lavender it has and I love how it makes my skin feel. It contains a blend of natural sugar, salt, shea butter, coconut oil, and sweet almond oil that all work together to remove dirt from my pores while nourishing my skin and leaving it feeling so beautifully moisturized and softened.It performs the following things to my skin : Exfoliates, Cleanses, Locks in Moisture, Softens, Nourishes and Makes My Skin Glow. I absolutely love this scrub and how a little goes a long way to leave my skin feeling so amazing! Definitely recommend this scrub!

You know I’m always on the hunt for deeply hydrating body lotions after my radiation treatment damaged my skin and left it so parched. And this is even more true in the harsh winters here in Canada.
We’ve already been hit by the Polar Vortex and a few storms and there are more to come as soon as tomorrow. These storms and weather systems bring extreme cold and dryness with them.
When I heard that I was getting the Keri Nourishing Therapy Shea Butter lotion to try, I was a bit apprehensive - since I’ve never heard of it before. Still, I’m always ready to try new products and that’s how I often discover great one!
The lotion has several ingredients known for their hydrating properties including vitamin E, Sunflower Seed Oil, Aloe Vera, and Shea Butter. I find the best time to moisturize my body is right after my shower so I decided to put it to the test. The lotion is thick and creamy, an emollient - rich formula with a mild scent. I found it rather viscous while applying. It got absorbed quite easily and left a nice shine on the skin. The scent while tolerable wasn’t the best for me but it didn’t irritate my skin at all. The hydration was really great and even after 24 hours, my skin still looked and felt moist and hydrated like the moisture had been locked into my skin, instead of it feeling dry and thirsty.
Although I hadn’t heard of this brand, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it is backed by over 50 years of experience in providing dry skin relief with dermatologist trusted ingredients. Keri also aims to empower women to feel comfortable and confident in their skin for generations to come. I was even pleasantly surprised to find that it’s very reasonably priced and is available at stores like Walmart and Amazon!

I recently discovered the TheraBreath Oral Rinse in Icy Mint flavour and the following things really stood out for me:
1. It’s got no alcohol
2. It contains no dyes and it had no colour which I loved.
3. It has been clinically show to fight bad breath for 12 hours straight and I definitely felt it worked that way for myself from the first use.
4. It didn’t burn my mouth or make it feel dry unlike other oral rinses.
5. Even though I used Icy Mint flavour, my mouth didn’t feel like it had frozen completely the way it does with similar flavours in other rinses.
I can see why it’s the "Fastest growing mouthwash" #3 Mouthwash in Canada, and #2 in USA
The brand has been founded by a dentist - Dr Harold Katz and I find it more trustworthy as a result.

I recently discovered the Vasanti Best of You(th) Brightening Moisturizer and I love how it makes my skin feel!!
A rich moisturizer that targets signs of aging while delivering deep hydration. Formulated to heal,
protect and strengthen your skin's protective barrier.
I love the way this moisturizer makes my skin feel, it hydrates my skin and makes the texture feel smooth and even, almost like some of the silicone based primers I use before applying my make up. The best part is that it doesn’t make my skin feel oily or heavy even after the whole day! In fact, my skin feels soft, smooth and supple and stays bouncy all day!
For best results, take a small amount of moisturizer and evenly apply on your face. I use it twice a day after cleaning and toning my skin.

I’m OBSESSED with this mini CLEAN RESERVE Whipped Cherry 🍒 scent which has the perfect blend of clean and sweet!
This perfume smells amazing! It’s sweet and subtle, with just the slightest hint of vanilla. I love how it lasts all day, leaving me smelling great for any occasion. The roller applicator on the mini is very convenient, making it super it easy to apply and the size and roller make it so easy to carry in my bag or when I travel.
I really like the eco-conscious and eco-friendly packaging, the stainably-sourced ingredients, and clean formulas from this brand & most importantly the fact that they don’t test on animals and are PETA approved.

I’ve been using these tablets for over 7 weeks before writing this review since I wanted to ensure that they had truly started affecting me. While I will say that they have helped me relieve some of my menopause symptoms, I still find my hot flashes to be rather frequent and severe. It’s possible that the tablets need to be had for longer to really start being more effective. However small, I have noticed some changes and improvements in my symptoms. There is definitely less bloating, cramping in my legs and my sleep feels better - the hot flashes have also improved mildly. I’m going to use them a bit longer to see how much more of a difference they make! -
