Living Pretty, Naturally: The 2013 Man-Fave Edition – Natural Products for Men
October 27, 2013 by 11 Comments
As a natural beauty blogger it is next to impossible to live with someone you care about dearly and watch them use chemically-ridden products… and for an outspoken gal like me, I admit it is – and was – impossible. Over the past few years I have been slowly (and maybe somewhat sneakily) replacing the bf’s products with natural ones. He’s now 100% natural when it comes to personal care products (with the exception of cologne, which he refuses to {Read More}

Oh you’ve heard about it time and time again, but there is nothing like a little refresher now and again, right? This post was inspired for three reasons: I thought my last post on coconut oil for beauty could use some updating There is a new e-book on Coconut Oil for Beginners (it focuses on coconut oil’s variety of uses for health, weight loss, beauty, and recipes) I had a wonderful guest post submission from the lovelies over at Lucy Bee Extra {Read More}

September 8, 2013 by 8 Comments
There has been a bit of hiatus in the blogosphere as of late, and I apologize for it. Life gets crazy sometimes, and so I have been trying to keep up with my Instagram / Facebook and Twitter Accounts as best I could through the past few weeks. That being said, I am back and have loads to share. The first on the docket is an introduction to an amazing initiative coming out of my home country, Canada. It’s fronted {Read More}
An Effective Organic Skincare Line I Would Eat: Annmarie Gianni’s Organic Skincare Review
August 5, 2013 by 17 Comments
It is not often that I say I would eat an entire skincare line, but if left in a bind I wouldn’t hestiate to eat every last product in Annmarie Gianni’s Skincare line. Ok, so I’d eat it (clearly it is natural), but now you’re asking “does it work?” It is rare that I would recommend nearly EVERY product in a skincare line for its efficacy and ingredient components, but today I bring to you an effective, organic, completely natural and {Read More}
Guest Post: Eco Market Blogger Jo Chats About Beach Worthy Skin, Naturally
August 2, 2013 by 2 Comments
In line with my post on bronzing your skin for summer, naturally, Jo from over at Eco Market sent in some fab tips for summer ready skin. In hindsight, I would recommend following her tips prior to using the products listed in my natural sunless tanning post to achieve an even glow. She has linked in this post products sold on Eco Market, a cool “Etsy-like” concept (an online marketplace) where you can buy natural products directly from the sellers that make {Read More}
Bronzed Skin, Naturally? No Sun Required – Melvita’s ProSun, Green People’s Self Tanner & Living Nature’s Bronzer Reviews
July 30, 2013 by 4 Comments
Summer. Ohh, summer. While it is one of my favourite seasons, I certainly am no sun goddess. In fact, it might be accurate to say that I am one of the least qualified people to speak on anything with regard to bronzing in the sun… I avoid it as much as possible – SPF, hats and shade are my summertime saviours. However, if there is one thing I’ve learned a thing or two about over the years, it is natural {Read More}
Lip Products “Rooted” in Impact: Rooted Beauty Lip Butters
July 29, 2013 by 4 Comments
If there is one thing that I love, it is business that is rooted in making a difference. Social entrepreneurship (businesses that operate based on a social mission, while also sustaining a viable business model) is something I have been very enthusiastic about since I started studying business a while back, so it is no wonder that when Rooted Beauty contacted me about their all natural, gluten-free lip butters I jumped at the chance to share them with you. I am {Read More}
RMS Beauty Living Luminizer & The RMS “Un” Cover-Up Review
July 26, 2013 by 7 Comments
Oh, RMS Beauty, How I Love You I love RMS Beauty. A lot. This brand of organic cosmetics has done nothing but impress me since I started testing out their products. It is one of the few organic makeup lines that feels nothing like makeup. In fact, the creators say it best themselves, “think of it as skincare with mineral colour.” It couldn’t be more true, that is exactly what this is – nourishing products for every skin type that {Read More}
