I hung onto it for as long as I could, but it was time. Holes grew bigger and pieces of mat fell to the ground when I rolled my mat after each practice. I knew it was time to say goodbye. With this being my third mat, in three years, I was tormented to think about buying another that I would use and abuse for a year before having to recycle it or (gasp) throw it out.

First on the docket are EDIBLE, ANTI-AGING & RADIANT lip products. I first heard about Bite Beauty when my bestie in NYC emailed me a link that this natural “lip lab” store was opening up in her neighbourhood. I immediately {Read More}

The dangers of conventional antiperspirants and 2. Reader requests on “what actually works” So let’s get down to business, what’s wrong with the drug store stuff? I am sure you’ve heard time and time again, avoid run-of-the-mill antiperspirant (think Degree, Lady Speed Stick, Secret, Right Guard, Old Spice, Axe etc. etc. {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}

A Natural Mascara That Works? It Exists! Organic Wear by Physicians Formula: Review
December 17, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Over and over I have been disappointed by mascaras – natural and chemical alike. So I suppose it is needless to say, I have high expectations when it comes to mascara performance (aka, make my eye lashes look like they go for miles, or don’t bother). Nothing changes your look more dramatically than a full set of lashes – it is (arguably) my #1 “can’t live without” beauty product. A bestie of mine recommended that I “just try” this mascara; she {Read More}
