Excuses aside, summer is coming and I can’t wait to have a bit more time to tell you about all the wonderful goodness I’ve come across over these last few months. In today’s post, I’ll focus on {Read More}

Natural Beauty in the Bag – My “Can’t Live Withouts”
March 15, 2013 by 7 Comments
Happy Friday Beauties! Today I felt a kink in my shoulder after carrying around my giant purse all day (#girlproblems). When I finally got home I decided to go through it and figure out what I could live without when I am out and about. In doing this I realized most of the weight was a result of my natural favourites which, one-by-one, magically made their way into my bag that could probably fit a small child. I figured, people {Read More}

Natural Cure for Dry Hair – Melvita Argan Oil Review
May 31, 2012 by 4 Comments
There were a few things I needed to stock up on in Paris and Argan oil was one of them. I guess every other Parisian Parisien had the same dry hair issue I did, because from Thursday afternoon until Saturday morning, I could not find my favorite Melvita brand for the life of me. Until Mademoiselle Bio in the 9th arrondissement came to my rescue. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am a BIG HUGE fan of natural oils. {Read More}

April 17, 2012 by 8 Comments
Visiting one of my girlfriends in London last week, I saw a funny looking jar in the bathroom…one that I usually find in my kitchen. Sitting there a top some beauty products was a big mason jar full of coconut oil ready for slathering on her bod post shower. She raved, so I had to try. Admittedly I’ve thought about it before and used it on my feet as an over night treatment, but never thought to try it as {Read More}

March 5, 2012 by 1 Comment
We all run a little late sometimes, and lets face it, washing your hair every day is one of the quickest ways to strip it of its natural shine. That is where dry shampoo comes in – and thank goodness for it! Over the past while I’ve used a multitude of variations of dry shampoo, until I realized that most of the powders had Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate – an ingredient boasting a dangerous number 9 on the Cosmetics Database safety {Read More}
