This past weekend, I happened to be in Richmond Hill, one of Ontario’s cities that has eased lockdown restrictions. While running errands, I was tempted to drop by one of their newly reopened salons for a long awaited haircut. Normally, I visit chain salons owned by large corporations. But as we enter our new normal, I wanted to support a small business, having realized the economic setback due to the abrupt temporary closures.
February has come and gone, which means my first month of work has been successfully accomplished. Although work had some stressful moments, the following items helped me feel confident and organized through new challenges. This month’s favourites consist of my go-to products that help boost my mood during the workweek.
I have made my relationship with acne a known struggle. Ever since high school, I’ve tried various products, completed numerous regimes and researched various methods to control breakouts. Thankfully, with the help of Dermalogica, I have acquired a more proactive, long-term approach to maintaining clear skin.
I don’t know about you, but I like to keep it smelling fresh in the summer. I work at a mall an hour and a half a way and all that commuting, waiting for buses, or even being trapped in a hot bus with 50 people does not leave a good scent when starting my shift. That being said, I like keeping on top with my personal hygiene and that starts with smelling good. I have tried plenty of scents over the past summers and I’m going to share my top favourite colognes that will complement the whereabouts of summer vacation.
I recently went to Kiehl’s and picked up some new products that I’ve been using lately. In fact, I have been using these products since the summer time and they have yet to fail me so I thought I’d share them here with you guys. Growing up, I’ve always suffered from oily skin. Not only does it make my face look shiny, but the excessive production of oil clogs up pores, trapping dirt, which can lead to the formation of new pimples… which is not cute whatsoever. The products I have been using are part of Kiehl’s 3 step Oil Eliminator collection, which has been doing the trick for some time now and I hope they can help you out too.
