Ayurvedic Natural Beauty: An Introduction to PRATIMA Skincare
April 18, 2015 by 8 Comments
Ayurveda. It’s no new topic to the pages of LPN. You might have heard about it before here, here, here and here (among a few other posts). While I won’t re-hash what Ayurveda is, I’ll give you a beauty-focused description from none other than the Queen of Ayurvedic beauty herself, Pratima Raichur: “A holistic science over 5,000 years old carries which carries a profound body of knowledge for understanding ourselves within the laws of nature.

April 11, 2015 by 5 Comments
One of my all time favourite skincare lines is back with something FABULOUS. Annmarie Gianni is up to it again – creating beautiful things in skincare… but this time, it’s makeup. A liquid (or dry matte) foundation no less! I am such a huge fan of her line – I’ve called it the skincare line I would eat in a past post, and now with makeup as pure as her skincare, I can’t say I’m anything but one happy girl. {Read More}

8 Things To Look For In Your Organic Skin Care & Cosmetics – LPN for MindBodyGreen
November 17, 2014 by 16 Comments
Hello Beauties! I wrote this post on MindBodyGreen, and thought I’d share an excerpt here and a link to the original article. It’s an important thing to keep in mind when shopping green beauty — not all green beauty products are created equal! The amount of “green washing” (company’s marketing their products as natural and healthy — even if they’re not) is on the rise as people start to take more care and concern in their products’ ingredients. Therefore, this article {Read More}

Get the Glow for Fall! Reviewed: RMS Beauty’s Buriti Bronzer & Living Luminizer
October 12, 2014 by 15 Comments
Just because the fall is here in the northern hemisphere, doesn’t mean there is any reason for you to lose that summer glow. However, with so many natural highlighters and bronzers on the market it’s not easy to choose the right one – especially if you’re a fair skinned gal like me. Beyond finding the perfect colour, it’s also about finding products that actually nourish your skin while you’re wearing them, as opposed to stop your skin from breathing or dry out. {Read More}
September Favourites: Natural Beauty Products & Some Other Faves
October 4, 2014 by 3 Comments
I am a “seasons girl”. I love them all, but every time October rolls around, I am reminded how much I absolutely adore the fall… Everything becomes so much more cozy. The sweaters come out of hiding, the wooly socks make their way back onto my feet, the vegetable-based candles get lit, my tea cupboard starts to need replenishing and all of a sudden I am really in the mood for making soups and baking (gluten-free, of course!). But beyond {Read More}

Best Natural Sunscreen for Face 2014: Annmarie Gianni Sun Love & MyChelle Sun Shield
August 19, 2014 by 7 Comments
I’m well into my summer holiday and thought now was a good time to review two of my fave facial sunscreens. As a fair skinned girl that gets sun-kisses (at least that is what grandma called my freckles), I’m pretty vigilant about protecting my face, neck and chest daily, sun or no sun. But I recommend this kind of protection to even my most bronzed belles. Just because you don’t normally burn, does not mean that you’re not susceptible to sun damage and premature aging! {Read More}
