Not the week I was hoping for... but happy to be popping on here for a bit of reprieve. I've been struggling through a complicated sinus infection, then managed to split my molar, now I'm awaiting several dental visits / surgeries (yes, I'm literally slapping my own forehead as I write this) and both my mother in law & husband are dealing with their own complex health struggles. It's been a week! Not to mention, the state of the world is weighing on all our shoulders. But here we are, life keeps moving whether we're prepared or not, and all any of us can do is take it day by day, and appreciate the good we have in front of us.

This past weekend, I had my first sugaring experience at Sugaring Change in Port Moody, and I loved it!! Chantelle, the owner, invited me down, and she's quite possibly the sweetest & most caring person I've ever met. She honestly made my first sugaring experience such a breeze, continually checked in (because I'm a big chicken after all, haha) and made sure I felt comfortable, and wasn't finding anything too painful, which I didn't. At all! If you're used to waxing?! This is a far cry from that and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised / a convert. I know I am!!

In my circle of girlfriends, I'm the go-to for all things skin care related and I love it! One of the things I'm asked often is if I'm familiar with The Ordinary line and which of their products I would recommend for anti-aging. So voila, a blog post was born! I've been using all three products for a total of three months and I'm thrilled to see visible differences in my skin. My top noticeable improvements have been an even and brighter skin tone, more glow, and less fine lines. I use my Buffet Serum in the morning, then apply my Vitamin C cream and use my Retinol in the evening (if you'd like to use it in the morning, be sure to apply sunscreen). Let's dive in!

Recently, I attended the CND Crystal Alchemy Collection preview, and I was absolutely blown away. They're continually my favourite brand for all things nails, and I love the colours & collections CND creates. But this one, just might be my fave! The colours in this collection are gorgeous, and they have the most perfect & delicate balance of glitter; which, is positively lovely for the holidays. I chose Rebellious Ruby for my manicure, but can't wait to dive in and try the rest of the line too. If you haven't tried the collection?! I highly recommend you do. I'm certain you'll love the finished look and festive touch it lends to your December / New Year's outfits.
