Anyone been massively online shopping since March and the rate of staying at home accelerated by 500%? I definitely got carried away with buying online anything for the last little while, and the way we have been doing things are shifting. I’ve been working from home since March, so I am going a bit home-loopey. I miss my fresh coffee during walks, but I’m grateful that I can be at home and can work remotely. The one thing I do miss most is definitely travelling. I miss new places, new food, and new culture. And spas, I had two spa dates lined up and then cancelled. In comes Beauty Sense, a Montreal based spa that offers spa quality products online. AND they’re Canadian! Treating myself with spa products is what I will be doing and the only thing that is preventing me from looking like a tired slug on the couch. [Read more…]
Lanolips Lip Water, Tinted Lip Balm, Lemonaid Scrubba-Balm
When I moved a few months ago, I was excited to declutter the mess I brought to my new home. Unfortunately places closed shortly after due to the global health crisis, so I have bags and bags of makeup lying around. Makeup is a tripping hazard around my bed. I also thought maybe I will be drinking more water at home now. Nope, I’ve been very good at staying dehydrated. But now I have time to try all the lip products I have at home and talk about them on here. Lano, an Australian beauty brand, has been on my radar for a long time due to its marketing for having some of the best lip balms – Lanolips. As a professional lip peeler (gross, I know) due to perpetual dry lips, I was ecstatic to try some of their highly rated products.
Catrice Cosmetics: First Impressions
I’ve been on this post for a while as one of my boxes of makeup got lost amongst moving from condo to home and luckily it was hiding in my friend’s car! Phew, glad I did NOT lose my Catrice Cosmetics products. These were sent to me for a review and I was excited to see this European brand in Canada now! Now that I have more time at home, I will be doing more makeup looks and keep this as a “first impressions” post – so prepare for lots of photos!
Basic Invite: Custom Invitations from weddings to birthdays
With so much time at home now, other than working, I’ve been trying to find new hobbies to keep time going by. It’s been so hard to separate my ‘work hours’ and my ‘life’ time. The couch and dining table are within a few steps of each other. Two milestones are coming up in the near future – I’m turning 30 soon (yay…..nay….) and that I’m going to be getting married! Although with everything closed, all I can do is look up stuff online these days. One site that I’ve been browsing is Basic Invite – your one stop shop for all invitation needs. [Read more…]
Statement Gold Earrings
I am pretty low key when it comes to jewelry but I love a good pair of fun earrings. Mostly, my style has been gravitating towards statement gold earrings. A splash of gold never hurts and to me and definitely jazzes up my plain work wardrobe and my endless supply of black and dark clothes. I used to be wary about wearing “bolder” earrings because of my glasses (it felt like too many things on my head? face?) but now that I’m comfortable with who I am; I’ll have whatever I want on my ears. Even if it’s golden fortune cookies.
