LIFE UPDATE.

     I have been meaning to write this post for like 3 months, I'm slacking harddd. I do have super exciting news though! I have joined It Works!

     Some of you probably know what this is and are either super happy or super annoyed that ANOTHER person has joined the bandwagon (if you are the latter, just jump on with us already!). If you don't know what It Works is, I'm going to tell you!

     It Works is an AMAZING company that has over thirty all-natural beauty and health products. We're most known for "that crazy wrap thing" that tightens, tones, and firms your body from the neck down, but there are so many other products!! Some of my favourites are Hair Skin Nails, Confianza, and Energy!

Awesome wrap results!

     I'm currently doing a 90 day Hair Skin Nails challenge and LOVING IT. Hair Skin Nails is exactly like the name says. It's about supporting the health, beauty, strength and shine of hair, skin and nails by nourishing them from the inside out! I've only been doing it for about a week now, but my hair is already feeling way healthier, and it has been less dirty lately which I am stoked about.

    Confianza is an herbal based supplement designed to enhance your bodies ability to cope with stress - physical, emotional and environment. and it helps increase energy levels. Which is fantastic when you're trying to finish two credits in three weeks, so you can finally graduate.

    I'm actually super addicted to Energy. We just had a BOGO sale in Canada, and I may have bought 10 cases. Oops? They are SO good though. They're made with super foods and antioxidants, and taste like peach rings. You're only supposed to have two cans in one day, but I usually only need one, unless it's 3 in the morning and I'm writing a blog post.

     There is so many products that I can't even talk about them all individually, but if you're interested in learning more about any products please do not hesitate to contact me !! You can message 905 714 6433, or send me a message on facebook, here! Or if you want to order, you can go to my website!

    

Twelve Days of Christmas // Day Four

     I went shopping today! I've done so much shopping this month, and I probably need to stop now because my tree is literally overflowing with presents. But I did get some really great stocking stuffers from Shoppers Drugmart and they were all under $15.

    

     So first up: Delectable Hand Cream Collection. There are four absolutely adorable hand creams made with shea butter, coconut oil, and aloe vera. They literally smell so fantastic, The scents are lemon, strawberry, vanilla, and coconut. These were only $7.99 so I'm really tempted to go buy some for myself. 

 

     These two are for my sister, who told me exactly what she wanted. They are from the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure collection, shades Fool's Gold (576) and Crush On Blue (371). I believe they were $6.99 each. Also sorry for the crap photo!

     Full disclosure, the next products are all most likely going to myself.  These lipsticks are all from Maybelline in the shades (from left to right) coral burst (740), Siren in Scarlet (690), and Blushing Beige (915). I haven't tried any of them yet but I am very excited for Christmas morning! Coral burst and Siren in Scarlet were $9.50 and Blushing beige was $8.95.

     My sister used to have these, and when we had an apartment together I think I stole all of them. They smell SO wonderful, I've actually been meaning to buy these for awhile but I couldn't find them until today. They are Calgon "Take me Away" fragrance sampler set body mists, in the scents spring cherry blossom, morning glory, Hawaiian ginger (my favourite!) and Tahitian Orchid. I believe this box was $7.99.

     I had never seen these fragrances before but I am honestly so excited. It's the sweet confections set from Calgon and it has the scents cotton candy, marsh mallow, vanilla swirl and red velvet. I'm such a sucker for sweets so I will probably open this first thing Christmas morning. This was also $7.99

     These smell phenomenal. They are J.R Watkins naturals hand & body lotion and sugar & shea body scrub exfoliant. They are both in the scent pomegranate and acai and I honestly LOVE it. Favourite smell ever. The body scrub says that it is 100% natural and the body and hand lotion says it is 99%. They were both $7.99 I believe. 

     All in all I think these are wonderful products and will be great stocking stuffers... if you can wait that long. 

*all opinions are my own and I purchased all of these products myself.* 

5 Ways to Keep Your Skin Healthy This Summer!

If you're like me, taking care of your skin seems like a chore that you just don't want to deal with. So I am always looking for easy and fast ways to take care of my skin.

Here are some of the tips that I use daily (or try to, anyway!)

1. Drink lots and lots and looooots of water. 

I feel like since I started drinking more water my life has improved in so many ways. My acne is almost non-existent, my stress levels are down and I have that cool glow that I thought only movie stars could get. I'm pretty sure water is the key to happiness.

2. Wear sunscreen!!!

This is so hard for me, because my whole life I have been absolutely terrrrible at remembering or basically just wanting to put on sunscreen. It is so important though so I'm trying to make it a priority. You should put it on 30 minutes before going into the sun and should definitely reapply it every two hours!

3. Use coconut oil

I'm going to make a whole post about how much I adore coconut oil, but for now I'm just going to say that it is a great sunscreen and tanner! It also is a great moisturizer if you forget to use your sunscreen and get burned. I just love love love this stuff, and you can buy a jar of it in the grocery store for under $5.

4. Buy make-up with built in SPF

I feel like you can never have too much protection from the sun, so why not take that into consideration when buying your makeup?

5. Sweat, sweat, sweat!

Sure, sweating is uncomfortable and sticky, but it helps get toxins out of your body. So go for a run, bike ride, or hike! Just remember to wear your sunscreen and bring your water!
