Product Review: Clean Reserve’s H2EAU collection, in Brilliant Peony

Butterly recently gifted me with a rollerball perfume from Clean Reserve’s H2EAU collection, in Brilliant Peony. Because I only have 7 days to post a review after receiving the product, I’m going to briefly discuss the company and its practices, and the product and its contents. However, just like with the T-Fal pan, I will… Read More Product Review: Clean Reserve’s H2EAU collection, in Brilliant Peony

Product Review: Slay Your Goals Planner by It’s All You Boo

As discussed previously many times over the course of the last ten years of blogging, planners are a big part of my life.  I have a wonderful personal system that works really well for me, but am always open to tweaking it.  Because I don’t want to waste paper by buying planner after planner in… Read More Product Review: Slay Your Goals Planner by It’s All You Boo

Mascara Round-Up: 12 Months, 4 Mascaras, 1 Mom

Part of my post-partum journey included adapting my beauty routine and developing hacks to balance out the short amount of time I wanted to dedicate to my routine versus wanting to still take care of myself.  As if they heard of my need to find the perfect mascara, the Influenster and ChickAdvisor programmes sent me… Read More Mascara Round-Up: 12 Months, 4 Mascaras, 1 Mom

Eye See You, Eye Shadow Palettes For Moms: Naked and Naked2 by Urban Decay

I’m lucky that a significant number of close friends had children before I did—so, while they think I was doing them a favour when I would visit, little do they know that they were doing me a favour by preparing me for a lot of things I otherwise wouldn’t have known about. One thing that… Read More Eye See You, Eye Shadow Palettes For Moms: Naked and Naked2 by Urban Decay

Parenting Product Review: Solly Wrap

I strongly believe that, as consumers, every economic decision we make leave a moral trace behind it.  As a parent, I strongly believe that every purchase made for our children influences them from the very beginning of their lives, long before they understand the concept of “shopping”.

Product Review: The Honest Company’s Free Discovery Kits (Part 1 of 2)

When a company chooses, in the context of the current climate of distrust towards all things corporation, to use the word “honest” in their name, either they are supremely arrogant or they are extremely dedicated to creating a new kind of corporate culture. The overall feeling one gets from The Honest Company’s website is one… Read More Product Review: The Honest Company’s Free Discovery Kits (Part 1 of 2)

Product Review: Carrington Farms’ Virgin, Cold-Pressed, Organic Coconut Oil

It often feels like we in North American are caught in the middle of a coconut craze, and I have to admit, what with the number of personal anecdotes that abound, that it isn’t without reason.  While I don’t think anything is a magical cure-all, there are many great uses to coconut oil that warrants… Read More Product Review: Carrington Farms’ Virgin, Cold-Pressed, Organic Coconut Oil
