BRANDS

I wanted to create a quick guide of some brands doing good. Whether the brand is sustainable or ethical, here are some brands I love. This is also the page I am going to refer friends to when they need recommendations.

If there are any brands you think I should check out, let me know here.

Bold = Canadian brand

(Eventually I want to expand the legend to denote brands offering plus sizes, certified B Corp, etc.)

I think it’s safe to describe myself as sentimen I think it’s safe to describe myself as sentimental and when I moved the final item out of my apartment I was hit with just a wave of emotion. This little Mount Pleasant studio was my first solo apartment. A lot of major milestones were experienced while living here, but also a lot of devastating moments. I think there’s a lot about leaving your sadness in a physical space that can feel freeing.

These four walls housed the space where I slept on the floor longer than I probably should of because I could not afford a bed. It’s the space where I’ve cried over more than one heartbreak or another disappointment. This little studio was where I had to go after losing my job. This literal single room was also the room I stayed in for all of lockdown. This floor was the floor where I laid on the ground and cried until I was numb when my dad passed away. 

While I may be sad about things that happened and things that are still yet to come just being able to leave the space where it was the most impactful feels liberating. Sharing some gratitude because although this space was were I’ve been the saddest, it was also was a safe space for me to experience that grief. Now I get to experience the good and the bad somewhere new. Subtext: grief but with insuite laundry now. 

Last boobilicious selfie in the old apartment, more booblicuous selfies in the new apartment to come. ✌🏼
#AD 💦 DON'T SWEAT IT! Sorry about two spon pos #AD 💦 DON'T SWEAT IT!

Sorry about two spon posts in a row, but I have been a bit preoccupied with unpacking and organizing my new space. The move was the perfect opportunity to purge, not only of all the excess junk I have accumulated over the years but also to purge products that contain ingredients I try to avoid, like aluminum in deodorants.

@frank_bod just launched their new Everyday Collection, including Clean Body Wash and Deodorant both of them free of irritating and bad-for-you ingredients. I love that both products are also available in unscented to suit even the most sensitive skin types! #thefrankeffect

While my home may not look this cute at the moment (today is moving day!), I am so grateful to be working with Braun and Vicks to keep my new apartment as optimal as possible to combat cold and flu season. The Braun ThermoScan® 7 Thermometer provides accurate temperature readings while the Vicks® FilterFree Cool Mist Humidifier adds some much-needed moisture back into the air (goodbye dry throat!).

Check out my newest latest blog post (link in bio) to learn more about both products. You can find them @londondrugs! #BraunandVicksColdandFlu

I’ve been sitting on this photo for weeks trying to determine when I can post because I felt like it was too bright in contrast with my feed recently but decided, fuck it. While I appreciate the commitment of curated an ~aesthetic~ feed, that’s not me & that’s probably not why you follow me. 

My life isn’t that of some manic shades of beige minimalist dream girl. It’s messy, colourful, and wildly lacks consistency.

#NEWPOST: If you're on skincare TikTok there is a #NEWPOST: If you're on skincare TikTok there is a chance you've seen tiger grass products as the new star ingredient that is a must try to minimize redness and aid in repair, but what is tiger grass? The actual name is cica and the plant gets the name "tiger grass" because tigers in Indian have been observed to use this plant to heal their trauma wounds and infections by rolling in the plant after scuffles. In skincare it helps treat rosacea, eczema, acne and repair minor tears! 🐅🌾

@thefaceshopcanada recently sent me their cica line from K-beauty skincare brand, Dr. Belmeur for me to try it myself. Head to the link in my profile to read more plus check out some before and after pics.
