Have you been caught the pink wave? October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and you've probably noticed the onslaught of "pink" beauty products, all in the name of supporting the fight against breast cancer. However, it seems a lot of these...
If you've never tried Sabon products, you're in for a treat. Created in Israel in 1997, this natural line of bath and body products is infused with all manner of glorious aromatherapeutic scents (lavender and patchouli come to mind) that also...
Who doesn't love those all-in-one beauty wipes that cleanse, tone and balance the skin in a flash? They're the perfect late-night, lazy-girl solution: wipe on/wipe off, and to bed we go. What I'm not fond of is having to toss them in the trash...
Do you ever feel, after having a shower, that your skin is more parched than before you stepped in? This shouldn't be so, but it's the state of my skin of late, and I'm pretty sure it has to do with the harsh soaps and body washes I've...
Eco-friendly makeup has traditionally been sorta, meh, when it comes to quality. But the latest formulations are decidedly improved, and, I'd say, at least on par with their non-eco-friendly counterparts. Such is the case with Cargo's Green Goddess...
I am, without a doubt, lured by pretty packaging in beauty products. But sometimes, if a product looks too pretty, I'm skeptical of its performance power, and this was the case with organic line Yarok's Green with Envy Shampoo and Conditioner...

Dr. Hauschka is one of those skincare lines that has a ton of celebrity cachet: everyone from Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Kate Moss are said to be fans. And even I can attest to the power of the celeb approval factor: I started using this nature-loving...
Now that the weather is regaining some sense of normalcy (read: the sun has returned!), I'm dreaming of hot summer days and pretty flowy dresses. While we're not quite there yet (it's still pretty frigid up here in Canada), I can channel a...
Confession: my hair was in dire straits until midday yesterday. After my usual procrastination of putting off making hair appointments, my 'do showed off the telltale one-inch roots of dishpan brown, while my ends were dark chocolate (which also had...
I got into the whole eye cream thing relatively recently, and, feeling like I needed to make up for lost time, I developed a routine of generously slathering rich balms all over my eyes before bed. Little did I know, the skin around the eyes isn't...
There are certain beauty items a girl can never have enough of – (lipglosses and mascaras come to mind) – and for me, one of them is body butter. The more indulgent they are, the better, which is why I'm loving this combination body oil and butter...
For me, the idea of a moor brings to mind the foggy British landscapes of Charlotte Bronte's brooding gothic novel Jane Eyre . But those mossy, ancient reserves of nutrient-rich plants and herbs known as moors exist not only in the U.K., but also...
