Founded in 2010, Crawford Street Natural Skin Care is a Toronto-based company that, like the name states, focuses on creating high-quality natural skin care products. Crawford Street products are made with natural ingredients and in small batches, with some of them being vegan as well, and are packaged in glass to try and reduce plastic wastage.

As a brand, Vichy makes some really great quality products that are hypoallergenic, paraben-free, alcohol-free, oil-free, non-greasy, silicone-free - and they're tested on sensitive skin. Depending on the line, I've found some of Vichy's products is quite heavy for my skin, but the Aqualia Thermal line worked amazingly well. Vichy's Aqualia Thermal line is all about hydration, containing hyaluronic acid, vegetal sugars, and the highest concentration of soothing, fortifying Vichy Thermal Spa Water. Today, I'll...

I think the most interesting thing about lavender is that it rarely smells the same – as in, you can have a bunch of lavender scented products, but they will all smell different based on the type of lavender used, or the mix of scents. Yardley London and Yardley London Botanicals (yes, they...
Today, I'm going to be sharing my Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe. Seriously guys, I cannot have enough of these cookies, and neither can my fiance. We pretty much eat the batch as it's on the cooling rack. To help portion ourselves though, a lot of this dough gets frozen in pre-made cookie dough balls until we're ready to have a treat! This recipe creates about 2 dozen or so cookies, depending on the size...

Thanks to Topbox, my skin was protected during my time at the cottage –...
Before working at the local liquor store for a bit, I knew absolutely nothing about alcohol - wines, beers, and spirits were basically a foreign language to me. After learning more about alcohol, I noticed that J. Lohr was an extremely popular brand, and rightly so! J. Lohr's Cabernet Sauvignon has been around for quite some time, and consistently receives 4 star reviews on the internet. At $23.95 a bottle, it's my go-to gift of...

Not too long ago, I reviewed Oko Creations' Reusable Makeup Removal Pads, which were a great alternative to disposable cotton pads. This time, I will be reviewing their Reusable Panty Liners ($18.95/2 pack) and see how it stands up to regular panty liners. Oko Creations has liners for panties and thongs, both of which claim to be waterproof, providing great protection for light flow days to leakages, and are made with 2 layers of absorbent hemp (58% organic...
