L'Occitane Lavender Hand Creme | Product of the Week

Being a hairstylist, I need good quality hand cremes on deck at all times. I got this for Christmas one year in my stocking and have finally decided to break it open and use it, I must say L'Occitane has outdone themselves with this lotion. It's so moisturizing and absorbs very quickly without leaving your hands feeling greasy or anything like that. The lavender scent is also very soothing for my hands as they are dry and cracked from being in water all day. I would recommend this hand creme to anyone; especially people who do have dry skin, or work in professions which are hard on the hands like I do. This product retails for 12$ on the L'Occitane website for a 30ml tube. 

Let me know if any of you ladies have any other hand lotions I should try!

20 Small Things to Appreciate In Life | Lifestyle

 Hello lovely ladies, 

I have been experiencing  the worlds worst writers block these past few weeks.. I have been moving and more stressed out than ever. I hope that now being in my new house and somewhat settled my writers block will subside a little bit, I really hope so. It's hard running a blog which is based on creativity when you have none - but I have not forgotten about you guys. 

Anyways the post I am going to do today is about a few little things I have learnt to appreciate more in life over these past few weeks, so here we go 

1. The fact that spring is here in Canada and I can leave my house without freezing 

2. My new roommate and the support I get from him. 

3. The ladies I work with, I have one of the best groups of girls and they make everyday a little easier especially with the rut I have been in these past few weeks 

4. Having food in our house 

5. Going for a walk and for lack of a better sentence, smelling the flowers 

6. My family, blood related and loyalty related

7. Being in a career I love and wanting to go to work everyday. 

8. Music, we have artists all over the world who work their asses off to give us the music we listen to everyday 

9. Having a roof over my head and a bed on my floor 

10. My mom 

11. Learning from my past mistakes 

12. Books, reading is a way to escape and bring yourself to a different reality for a few hours

13.waking up every morning in good health 

14. Nature 

15. My bad days because they make my good days seem that much better 

16. Smiles, smiling at someone you walk past can brighten their day, because you don't know what has happened to them before you met eyes and smiled at them. That one smile may change the outlook of their day. 

17. Good memories because they outweigh the bad ones and give you a reason to smile. 

18. A good nights sleep 

19. My boyfriend, he keeps me on track and makes sure I've eaten and slept each day. 

20. For being here today to write this post. 

Let me know what you ladies are thankful for each day.

Product of the Week| Review

Hello lovely ladies,

A product I am just loving right now is the Revlon Nutri Colour Creme in the colour 500(purple red) ... Excuse the bottle, it likes to leak on itself :( 

This product is basically a colour boosting conditioner that you use once a week. I use it every time I wash my hair, because I only wash it once a week and I really don't like when my red hair starts to fade. This conditioner keeps my colour so vibrant and I have yet to find another product that works this well. 

To use this conditioner you shampoo and then apply the product, comb it through your hair and leave it on for 3 minutes when you want to refresh your colour quickly. If you find your colour needs a little added refreshment you can leave this on for longer but I find the 3 minutes works beautifully. Because the colour 500 is a purple red, it does stain skin (gotta love red right?) so try to keep it off your scalp if you can, but I am fully aware that's easier said than done. 

The Revlon Nutri Colour Creme line comes in a variety of colours, most of the products the line carries cater to colours that are harder to keep vibrant in the hair, like fashion colours, reds, browns, and pastels. 

This product retails for 33$ at Chatters in Canada but the price would vary dependant on where you purchase it. 

I think that anyone who has a hard to maintain hair colour should try the Revlon Nutri Colour Creme. It completely changes your hair game! 

I hope you ladies are having a good week,

20 Facts About Myself | Get To Know Me

Hey loves,

I know it's been a while since I posted, but regular blog posts will be back up this week! (Woo) Looking for houses and getting ready to move has been very busy for me, so I'm sorry if posts get put off schedule again in the next month but I'll do my best. 

(Image taken from Google)

Anyways, I saw a fun tag I want to do and it's the 20 facts about yourself one, so here it goes: 

1. I am a hairstylist, I love my job and I cannot imagine doing anything else. Boosting people's confidence by changing their looks, can be one of the most rewarding things in the world. 

2. I love makeup, I want to go to makeup school in Vancouver at some point in my life. We aren't at that point now, but one day! 

3. I love to read, I always have a book on the go. Currently I am reading The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks (yes cliche girl novel but I love it) 

4. I naturally am very blonde but I have had almost every other hair colour. The most recent is a cherry violet red which I am in love with. 

5. I love to dance. I do two step and country swing. Learning new lifts and tricks and pushing my body is so rewarding and I wouldn't have my evenings off spent doing anything else  

6. I don't like people very much, yet I picked a job where I talk to people all day long. Funny how that works. 

7. I love to cook. 

8. I used to do competitive gymnastics but I quit about 7 years ago. I would love to get back into it one day though. 

9. First impressions are everything to me. If I don't have a good first impression of a person, my opinion on them probably won't ever change. 

10. I am almost always listening to much when I am at home, and it's usually country. 

11. I still use a old school day planner to keep track of my life. I love using that so much more than my phone. 

12. Burgundy, purple, and teal are my favourite colours. 

13. I am 5 feet fall. No more, no less. 

14. I am a very sarcastic person. It can be a downfall for me. 

15. Starbucks is my one weakness 

16. I'm addicted to YouTube. One of my favourite vloggers is Thataylaa. 

17. I'm a Leo and every trait describes me to a tee. 

18. I love to travel. Peru and Costa Rica are my favourites so far. 

19. I talk in my sleep. 

20. One day I want a Pomsky. Cutest little dog ever. 

So I'm going to tag anyone who wants to do this to do it. It surprisingly a lot harder than you would think. 

Have fun lovelies,

Morning Skin Care | Routine

Hello Loves,

So today I have my morning skincare routine for you guys. These are the products I use most frequently in the morning before I apply my makeup. 

The Body Shop Tea Tree Foaming Cleanser - this cleanser is great for the morning, because it is made to combat oily skin; so I find when I use it in the morning I get less oily during the day - that's always a plus. 

Lush Tea Tree Water Toner - again I use this tea tree product to combat my oily skin, as well as acne. I haven't been using this long, but it seems to work quite well! 

Garnier Skin Renew Antipuff Eye Roller - i use this before I apply my eye cream, it helps to deal with how puffy my eyes are when I wake up (yay for being allergic to everything) I didn't see a difference when I first started using it, but over time it has helped. I quite like this product. 

Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar Eye - this eyecream is amazing! And going to become a staple in my skincare when the sample size I have now is done. It is very lightweight but moisturizing and helps with puffiness and fine lines around the eyes. 

Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisturizer - I love using this in the morning, it is lightweight but still moisturizing and I feel like because it is acne fighting it's working all day under my makeup with out me even knowing (yes I know that sounds crazy) this is a very great moisturizer! 

Lush Mint Julips Lip Scrub - I mentioned this in a few other blog posts as well (Lush Haul, Nighttime Skincare Routine, and February Favourites) this lip scrub is gold and everyone needs to own one. It gets all the dead skin off! 

Carmex - this is my holy grail lip balm/treatment I use it all day but I especially like to put it on after I use my Lush lip scrub because it mousturizes my lips even better! 

So anyways girls, that's what I use for skincare in the morning and little mini reviews/ explanations of why I use what products. 

Let me know if there's any products I should add in or you recommend me to try out!

Product of the Week | Review

Hey ladies,

So this week my favourite product has to be the Makeup Forever Sens'Eyes makeup remover. 

(Photo taken from Google) 

I got this product for Christmas this year and never really started using it until now, because I was working through other makeup removers. But this is amazing stuff. It is a lotion as opposed to a gel or liquid which I really like, it's also made for sensitive skin but takes off even the most stubborn waterproof or smudge proof makeup. It also doesn't really have a scent. The fact that this product can remove all my makeup and not irritate my skin is beautiful! 

To use this product I just put it on a cotton pad and the swipe it over my eyes as needed. I usually use one pump twice on each eye and that takes it all off, and then I wash my face as usual afterwards. 

At Sephora in Canada this product retails for 10$ for the travel size (1.01oz) and 24$ for the full size (3.38oz) which is not bad considering it lasts forever! 

I hope all you ladies have had a good week

February | Favourites

Hey ladies!

Here's my favourite products, music, YouTube channels and bloggers :) who's happy I am actually getting this post up the first week of March? Cause I know I am (yay for scheduled blogging) but anyways lets get to the point 

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Palette - this has been one of my go to palettes this month, first of all it smells like chocolate (so what's not to love about that?) and the shadows are so buttery and blend out so easily, they are also super pigmented. This palette will always be a number one in my books! 

Maybelline Dream Wonder Foundation - I use this in the lightest shade 10 Porecelian Ivory, and it is light enough to match my skin (yay) also this foundation is so lightweight it doesn't even feel like you are putting anything on your skin, but it does have decent coverage! I've been loving this because I haven't been wearing a lot of makeup on my face this month so it's nice, because it's a super quick application and looks good regardless of what products I use on top of it or, don't use on top. It looks good either way! 

Hempz Green Tea and Asian Pear lotion- I got a sample size of this at a work conference and had to buy the regular size. The scent is so nice and light but the lotion is still super moisturizing, but I also have yet to find a Hempz lotion I do not enjoy. I almost own every scent they have... Whoops. 

Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil - I am currently loving the shade milk, I use this in my water line to brighten up my eyes when I look or feel extra tied, and it works like a charm. 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade - I use this eyebrow pomade in blonde and I find it's the perfect match for my eyebrows and skin tone. This eyebrow pomade is a holy grail product for me! 

Lush Mint Julips Lip Scrub - this is the third time I am mentioning this in a post so it must be good. I must say I love love love this lip scrub and I think everyone should own their own! 

Song - this month I have been loving Shotgun Rider - Tim McGraw http://youtu.be/BkpuLMsDn48
