The Best Natural Online Wellness Sites and Stores in Canada

October 22, 2024

When it comes to finding natural and non toxic products that you enjoy and use in your home, accessibility can sometimes be an issue. When in Canada, that accessibility becomes even more limited. Most of the popular wellness brands hail from the United States. This is a barrier for most who don’t want to be spending so much on conversions rates, shipping rates, and dreaded duty fees. Even if I had all the money in the world, I would not welcome that unexpected $60 duty fee at my door. That being said, there ARE some really great wellness brands and stores in Canada. You just have to know what they are. So this article is dedicated to rounding up some of my favorite options for those who live in Canada.

June 12, 2024

Hair products can be a bit of a barrier when it comes to switching to a natural beauty routine. Everyone has tried a shampoo that left their hair flat and greasy. I don’t blame anyone for wanting a hair product that works. Many might assume that natural hair products won’t work for them but I can tell you that using them has left me with longer, stronger, and healthier hair. I’ve been blogging in the green beauty and wellness industry for almost a decade. I have tried so many different products and so I wanted to share the best natural and non toxic hair products  have come across over the years.

The Best Organic and Non Toxic Self Tanner

January 10, 2024

If you’re looking for a good organic and non toxic self tanner, look no further. Everyone loves a good glow to their skin. If you live in a Northern area like me where the snow takes over half of the year, you’ll appreciate having an option even more so. I always feel a bit more confident when I have a bit of a tan to an otherwise pale complexion. That being said, I don’t have access to warmth in the sun all year. I love the sun and all the health benefits it has to offer. But even in the summer months, I like to moderate my time to ensure I’m not contributing to fine lines and wrinkles. I often turn to self tanner when I am craving that bit of glow. Most self tanners on the market are quite toxic and not something I’d want to be putting all over. Eventually  I stumbled upon a unicorn and I am sharing all about it.

Safe and Natural Nail Polish for Children (15-Free & Made with Fruits and Veggies)

June 16, 2020

My Daughter has been asking me to paint her nails for atleast a year now. She’s five and sees her friends come to school with rainbow coloured nails adorned with tiny little stickers of unicorns and hearts stuck on them. It’s something I enjoyed as a little girl, having my Mom paint my nails for me.. so it hurts a bit when I’m the Mom who says “No”. I’d love more than anything to share that bonding time with her, she’s naturally as girly as they come and her little face sinking when I don’t allow nail polish strikes the level of Mom guilt to a 10.
