I LOVE a good face massage, but what is the best face massager tool out there right now that does it all, because I want efficiency? I think there is something so nice about being able to take some time for yourself and focus on your skin. I mean you don’t have to take hours, we’re talking minutes here. And the reward is truly worth it. I used to just use my hands to massage my face and that works, but there is something so satisfying about having a tool just do it for you. The best face massager has to be my new BFF, yeah thats the name of it. Let’s get to why I love this new tool, how I use it and why it works so well. …

Curious about collagen, or what about gelatin? In this blog post I am sharing with you my favourite paleo chocolate pudding made with gelatin and coconut milk. As much as I love my chocolate chia avocado pudding, I wanted to create something a bit different. I tasted a very similar version of this pudding at one of my favourite healthy restaurants in Toronto and knew that I wanted to recreate this at home. It took a couple of tries, but I figured out a way to make it that I think you will absolutely love too. …

Coconut Fat Bombs (Gluten Free, Paleo and Vegan)

My love for energy balls runs deep, but I wanted to create one that was much much lower in sugar and higher in fat, enter these coconut fat bombs. Often times I find that energy balls (although delicious) don’t leave me feeling satiated. And then I end up eating more and more, or I am hungry soon after. I knew I had to make something that was higher in fat and contained less sugar so that I could feel satiated and satisfied. These ones contain one of my favourite ingredients too, collagen! …

What is the deal with face toners? (read that again in Seinfeld’s voice). I haven’t always used a toner to be honest and was always wondering are face toners necessary? What is their purpose and do we need a different one depending on our skin type? Because I am not a skincare expert (I just really like skincare and beauty), I also wanted to get some perspective from an actual expert as well. My goal in writing this post is to get to the facts about face toners and to share how I use them. …

If you are into health, wellness and beauty then I am sure you have heard of face rolling. Perhaps you’ve seen jade rollers popping up everywhere, I know I have! While I was attending the Holistic Beauty Expo (an annual expo on all things natural and holistic beauty), I stumbled across facial reflexology. To say I was curious was an understatement. I was very close to buying a rose quartz roller at the expo, but after I tried these tools, I was hooked. I’ve been using them daily for a few months and definitely noticed some changes in my skin and knew that I had to share. So get ready because today we are talking all things facial reflexology!…

So if you want to know how I like it, stay tuned for my full review! …

I don’t know about you, but I am pretty obsessed with healthy skin. I love to keep my skin looking glowy, dewy, hydrated and just as radiant as possible. Of course, it doesn’t always look picture perfect because that isn’t real life either, but when I make sure to incorporate more nutrients into my life, I notice a big difference. I love including fun superfoods and supplements for added skin benefits, but I’ll let you in on a little secret, you don’t need to have them. Regular food (and water) can also do wonders for our health and our skin. Today, I am focusing on the best foods for healthy skin, which include my top five favourite beauty foods that you can start including right now to help boost your skin’s appearance. …

All About Natural + Organic Deodorant

Recently, I attended a detox talk at Pure and Simple where the panelists talked all about how to detox our bodies daily and about natural deodorant. There was so much great information shared that night and it really got me thinking that I have never talked in much detail about why to use natural organic deodorant and specifically which ones I like the best. So I decided to ask a poll on my insta stories to see how many people were using natural deodorants and there were about 20% of people that were a little nervous to try natural deodorant. It’s a big deal, I get it and it can be really hard to find a natural organic deodorant that works, so I wanted to do my part and share with you what I have found to be the most effective. …
