Now I’m not sure if I’m just bitter and the mosquitoes stay away from me or I’m lucky, so far I have not had any bites and haven’t had to use the patches but I do love the convenience of them. They are very small and easy to grab and go and easy to slip into your camping bag or suitcase for travel. -

I’ve been using the Lancôme product for a few weeks now and it seems to be okay. The ingredients are good, but what I’m not a huge fan of is the three chambers where the serums come out and then you mix together. I’ve used similar products in the past and this type of packaging/dispensing just isn’t effective. You get too much of some of the serums, not enough of the others, this also often leads to running out of one or more of the serums in the trio before the others. In general I also think far too much product comes out and there is a lot of waste.
Packaging and its pitfalls aside I can’t say for certain that I have seen a difference since I began using the serum, it does feel tingly and like it’s working but I need to keep going before I can confirm that.

I’m a huge fan of Chapmans Products and we always have the freezer stocked with Yukon bars and sandwiches in the summer time. This particular flavour isn’t my favorite it’s a bit on the sweet side for me, it’s still tasty but I couldn’t eat a whole bar. If you have a sweet tooth and enjoy what I can only describe as strawberry cheesecake on a stick then this is the treat for you -

I’ve been using Sun Bum sunscreen lotion in various SPF levels for the entire family for a few years now, it’s my absolute favorite and I use the SPF 15 for myself daily.
While you can definitely get cheaper sunscreen options they just aren’t worth the pennies you might save. SunBum is natural and not loaded with all kinds of unnecessary ingredients. It’s been the only sunscreen that I can use on my son who has eczema and has always screamed that other sunscreens burn once they touch his skin.
I love the Sun Bum line because it’s mineral based and fragrance free- making it safer for the environment and easier on our sensitive skin. It’s also paba, paranormal and oil free, Vegan and cruelty free.

Irish Spring Aloe Mist Deodorant Bar Soap
I’ve been using the Irish Spring Aloe bar soap for a very long time. It’s one of the only ones that not only smells good and makes me feel clean but it doesn’t dry out my skin and make it feel all tight and itchy.

I recently purchased a variety of Nude by Nature products. The brand had a large bright and eye catching display in my local drug store and when I checked it out I immediately fell in love with the brand.
It’s an Australian brand that has recently come
to Canada.
It’s made with all natural ingredients
It’s sustainable and cruelty free
Plus the colors available in both their matte lipstick line and their lipgloss is fantastic. It’s the perfect mix of natural and beachy and now my biggest issue in the morning is what
Color to wear. Added bonus is they’re so budget friendly that you probably even have to make the tough choices- just buy all the colors.

I have sensitive skin that tends to get super angry with me whenever I deviate from my regular brands. I have a few regular bobywashes that are my favorites and I keep them all on a regular rotation in my shower. They become my favorite by meeting a few simple criteria:
They have to smell good
They have to feel good
They have to be a good value
They have to produce a good larger- I love the suds.
The Dove Shower Foam Deep Moisture Foaming Body Wash checks all of those boxes.
My skin feels amazing after each use and I don’t get that dry itchy feeling once the water is turned off.

I purchased the Nude By Nature Complexion Starter Kit a few weeks ago after a friend told my she had just given a few of the products a try. We have similar complexions and skin type so I figured the products would have to make me look just as amazing as she did.
The starter kit has everything you need:
Primer
Concealer
Foundation Powder
Translucent Powder
Bronzer
A brush
And it all comes in a fantastic bag that has found a home in my purse loaded with all of my daily essentials.
I’ve used all of the products so far except the translucent powder but so far they are all definite must haves for any beauty conscious babe.
I love that the products are all natural as well, cruelty free, great for your skin and they’re also easy on the wallet.
The starter kit retailed for about $40 CAD in my local Shoppers Drug Mart So fully worth every penny.
They’re so easy on the budget in fact I also bought a few extras- lipstick and lipgloss which are also highly recommended.
