What are Ceramides? Skincare Benefits of Ceramides and Why you Should Add them to your Routine

February 14, 2020

Ceramides have been shown to have a drastic effect on the health and vitality of ones skin. Recent studies have shown dramatic results from topical application of Ceramides which are found naturally in the skin. Ceramides deplete naturally over time, causing a string of symptoms and effects to the skin. To better understand ceramides and their role in skin health, I’ve put together this article. I will address what ceramides are, the symptoms of ceramide depletion, it’s role in aging and inflammatory skin diseases, and my favourite ceramide rich skincare products.

Do you have Sensitive Skin? You may need to avoid fragrance in skincare

February 11, 2020

Did you know that a number of people cannot tolerate fragrances (even natural ones) in their skincare? And that they are commonly used in skincare products? If your skin fits into a certain subtype, you might be doing more harm than good when it comes to the products you choose. Whip synthetic fragrance is generally a no no, this post is not meant to vilify natural scents such as essential oils (as they are an incredible medicinal addition to any holistic lifestyle), but as with anything, they aren’t always tolerated across the board. There are many reasons why someone may choose to avoid essential oils in their skincare routine. This post will highlight skin types that don’t tolerate EO’s as well and common reactions/signs to know if you might be one of those people. I’m also going to share one of my favourite skincare lines that avoid activating ingredients for those with ultra sensitive and sensitized skin. They work to target specific skincare needs with impeccably sourced carrier oils from all over the world.

The Choosy Chick Shop Full Guide + Review

January 23, 2020

The more momentum the green beauty movement gets, the more and more I see high quality and well vetted shops pop up. This gives more options and ‘one stop shops’ are some of our best resources as they carry many products types and brands in one place. Bonus: you just pay one shipping price for a bulk order of all of your needs. I myself admit.. shopping for my own favourite natural products can get expensive while supporting small shops and shipping from different places. Finding boutiques that carry all the natural items you buy so you can continue to support the brands you love AND a small business shop owner truly is having your cake and eating it too. Not only does this lessen the burden on your wallet, but less packages coming from multiple sources reduces your carbon footprint. I luckily stumbled across the Choosy Chick Shop when the owner reached out to me. It’s a female run and owned small business and she’s such a lovely person. I’m going to share some of the products I have tried from the choosy chick recently as well as some of my old favourites and what you can expect to find in this shop. I’ll continue to update this post as I try new things to give you more ideas of what the best items are to try!

Black Friday Holistic Wellness + Green Beauty Deals 2019

November 28, 2019

Its that time of year again! Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Holiday sales are usually when I re-stock my shelves with some of my most tried and true favourites. It’s also a great time to shop for gifts for family and friends. That being said, with all the buzz and excitement surroundingS these days of savings, remember to be mindful of consumption. I tend to use this time to really think about what my all time favourite green beauty and wellness products are and what I really need and will use. Don’t go broke over a good sale, but instead be mindful of what you truly love to keep on your shelves.

That being said, I have made a list of some of my favourite green beauty and wellness shops who are taking part in the Holiday sales. I’ve included some of my favourite products from each for inspiration. I am always available to answer questions, simply comment on the post below, send me an email or Direct Message.

October Detox Box Reveal: Kjaer Weiss Luxury Makeup

October 10, 2019

Oh no big deal.. nothing to see here.. just KJAER WEISS in the Detox Box this month.. did anyone else’s jaws drop? This might be the first time I ever have seen Kjaer Weiss in a subscription box at a discounted price. For those of you who haven’t been introduced to this brand yet. Kjaer Weiss is a high end luxury green makeup brand that creates refillable makeup products. Every single one of these products are refillable and can be purchased at a lower cost once you’ve got your hands on the beautifully designed metal containers. They are heavy and “weighty”.. one of those things that feel so good to hold (am I alone on this? Is it weird?) and they have that magnetic closure that keeps that from opening all over your purse.

September Detox Box Reveal: Naturopathica Skincare

September 19, 2019

September’s Detox Box was a throwback to a brand I haven’t used in years, but it was one of the brands that introduced me to green and effective skincare. I fell head over heels with their pumpkin enzyme peel years ago and this box became a throwback for me. Back to a brand that creates beautiful herbal and botanical goodness. The 3 products in this months subscription were no exception. I’ve been using all 3 both day and night with amazing results in terms of redness relief and hydration! My skin is so dewy and plump! So here are my thoughts and if you have a chance to grab this one still, I personally recommend it:
