The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea
(Source) I was quite intrigued by The Body Shop’s release of the Fuji Green Tea range, mostly because of the Bath Tea. It seemed like a strange concept, that as the bath lover I am, I just had to try it. The bath tea itself is essentially bath salts mixed with real green tea leaves. The scent is truly wonderful, I felt so relaxed. You have to buy the Fuji Green Tea bath infuser separately for $5, which is kind of annoying. You put a scoop of the bath tea in it and let it ‘brew’ in your warm bath. The infuser allows the bath salts to dissolve into your…

The Best of Me
Every time another Nicholas Sparks book becomes a movie and hits theatres, I always get excited. I cannot wait to go see The Longest Ride. I had just finished my last City of Bones book, which I mentioned in my Bedtime Tag post, and was looking for another book when I noticed The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks sitting there on my bookshelf unread and unloved. [This was also made into a movie last year, which I haven’t seen yet.] (Source) So with Nicholas Sparks on my mind and the anticipation of seeing The Longest Ride, it seemed the natural choice, also I want to read all the books…

A Week of Favourites
So, I thought every once in a while I’d throw together a few items that I’ve been loving for the past week and share it with you guys. So, let me know if you want me to continue to do this. Mascara: Too Faced Better Than Sex – I have a sample size of this mascara that I’ve been using all week. It provides the perfect amount of volume in my opinion. And I love the bristle wand, as opposed to a plastic one. I will definitely buy the full size when this is done. http://seph.me/1hTJqKX Lip Combo: Essence lip liner in 11 In The Nude, Cargo lip gloss in…

Hair Training
(Source) I’m sure we all know by now that washing your hair everyday is not good for it. However, up until the last month or two I continued to do it. I have always had oily hair, and I felt that washing my hair everyday was a necessity or else it as a greasy mess. Washing your hair everyday strips your hair of its natural oils, and can also dry out your scalp. This in turn ques your scalp to produce more oil to replenish it. And viola, you have greasy hair again. I have written a post before on how irritated my scalp was, and how my hair was…

We Are All Beautiful!
I always skip the ads that play before/ during YouTube videos. Today I got distracted, and I’m so glad I did because the commercial that played was so powerful! I’m talking about the Dove Choose Beautiful commercial. After watching this I was left with tears in my eyes, and a feeling of empowerment like I haven’t felt in a very long time. Women (and men) are made to feel average on a daily basis, it just seems to be the way it is – BUT IT SHOULDN’T BE!! We are all beautiful! You should never be made to feel anything but that. Know your worth. Wear that lipstick that…

Drugstore Haul
Not that I need an excuse to shop but, Shopper’s Drug Mart was advertising their spend $75 get $25 worth of Optimum Points ‘sale’, ‘event’, I’m not sure what you’d call it. I think this is a pretty good deal, especially because I shop there quite a lot and collect the points anyway. Along with Easter chocolates for Max, I bought a few makeup items for myself, which were all on sale this week as well! First, I picked up a backup of my Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes. These are my favourite makeup wipes because they are super gentle on my sensitive skin, and also do a great job of…

I’m Shedding Again!
They say you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone, boy is that true. A few months ago my hair shed so bad, in the shower I’d lose handfuls! I also noticed that my scalp was becoming quite itchy and irritated, and my hair was lacking volume. I didn’t even consider it could have been the shampoo I was using, Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship, I had blamed it on the dry winter air. While browsing the hair care aisle I came across the Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy Volumizing Root Boost shampoo and conditioner. My prayers had been answered! This stuff is amazing! I immediately noticed my…

Essie Bikini So Teeny
This is a bit of a rediscovery of an old friend. Essie’s Bikini So Teeny is a light blue polish with a hint of shimmer. This colour reminds me a lot of the packaging for the Mac Cinderella collection, which I missed out on much to my dismay. It takes a good two coats to build up the colour to my desired opaqueness, and for it not to appear streaky. Though Essie polishes are not my favourite formula, they chip quite easily on my nails, I do love this colour and will probably be wearing it quite a lot this season. What nail polish have you been loving recently? ♥
