Although I love makeup and other beauty products, I’ve never taken the plunge and purchased a good pair of false lashes.

I remember getting fake lashes in beauty kits when I was a teenager, but the experience was less than great. I would attempt to apply them, make a huge mess, and immediately peel them off. After that, I made a few attempts with dollar store lashes for Halloween, but those didn’t go well either.

For some reason, the idea of trying higher quality lashes never really occurred to me. I always thought false lashes were more for special events or for women who did full makeup on the daily – aka not me. When Esqido contacted me about trying out some of their mink lashes, I jumped on the opportunity.

Expert Gift Giving with The Body Shop #TBSGiftingHacks

Growing up, my dad always had a hard time buying gifts for my mom. Looking back, it’s actually quite hilarious. He would head to the store and buy her the same thing every year. Of course, there were variations, but I distinctly remember a robe, a box of seashell chocolates, and some razors for her stocking… every. single. year. He meant well, he really did, but let’s be honest – his gifts sucked.

This past weekend, I visited my parents and during dinner we cracked jokes about the “dreaded robe”. My dad ranted that for the last 30 years he’s been buying robes. We died laughing, but the truth is that there are so many men who have this problem. But maybe I can help!

I was beyond excited to be invited to the The Body Shop to check out their Holiday collection, and when I arrived I was blown away.  I had such a great experience at this store and found so many options for all types of women (and men!) at all different price points. Check out my favourite finds below.

Trying the CariPRO Ultrasonic Toothbrush with Smile Brilliant

Having clean and white teeth is such an important part of feeling comfortable in my own skin. Sometimes I look in the mirror and become extremely self-conscious when I see the coffee stains. This is when I know it’s time to whiten.

Earlier this year I tested out Smile Brilliant’s teeth whitening system and had some amazing results, so when they reached out to me to try the new CariPRO Ultrasonic Toothbrush, I jumped at the opportunity. I have never used an electric toothbrush for a substantial period of time, so I was excited to see how it would affect my oral health.Read More

I’ve always been a coffee drinker, but I’ve never been opposed to drinking tea. Over the years, I’ve tried many different types of tea and learned what I do and don’t like, but never taken the time to actually purchase high quality tea and the appropriate accessories.

When Adagio Teas reached out to me to try their gourmet teas, I couldn’t wait. I found so many goodies on their website and I’m excited to share them with you just in time for the holidays!
