Here in Canada, maintaining healthy-looking hair throughout all four seasons can seem borderline impossible.

Hair is a fickle thing. Most of us have it on top of our heads, and despite how common, and, I suppose, ‘normal’ it is, I can’t help but recognize just how different hair is for everyone who has it. There are numerous types of hair, some typical examples being curly, straight, wavy, and fine. … More Looking for a winning hair product? Look no further
When I think back to how I dressed when I was younger, meaning in my teens and into my early 20s, I genuinely cannot comprehend what in the actual fuck I was thinking at times.

I’ve been dealing with knots in my hair since I was a child. I’ve been told I have fine hair, and a lot of it, and apparently, those of us who possess fine hair are more prone to encounter knots.

I first discovered the lovely Ilona Maher earlier this year to the best of my recollection.

I am not certain if everyone can relate to my experience with this, but it seems to me as though the summer months, as wonderful as they are, are an almost guaranteed ticket to the Dry Hair Express.

By no means am I proud to admit that within the past year or so my teeth haven’t been looking their best.

I like to consider having long hair as both a blessing and a curse, and I would wager anyone who possesses long hair would agree with me on this.

But, having long hair … More Here’s how to style long hair in the heat
My title today is rather laughable, but I do implore you to offer me some pity credit considering the alliteration is not too shabby.

But, I do … More Pursuing perfection in pimple patches
I wrote a post a while ago discussing Native soap and my honest opinion of it. If you didn’t read it, not to worry; I absolutely love the stuff, and not only because it smells so heavenly.

My nails and I have come a long way over the years in terms of the quality of our relationship.

Most of my nails were bloodied stumps more often than not, and because … More Dry, cracked nails? Read this
I realize the title of today’s post might seem a bit condescending in the sense that washing one’s hair isn’t exactly a difficult concept. It requires hair, water, some shampoo and conditioner, and it would be fair to assume there really isn’t much more to it. I recently watched a video posted to Instagram by … More Are you washing your hair correctly?
Acne, sadly, is one of those things that no one particularly wishes for, yet it seems to find its way into most of our lives regardless of how much we may try to resist its presence.

I’ve dabbled in the mascara game over the years, and I like to think I’ve found one that trumps them all.

Claw clips have been around for a while now, but as of late, they seem to be gaining popularity.

It almost seemed as though, for a while there, claw … More Looking for a sturdy claw clip? Look no further
I am blessed in the sense I am not someone who often deals with dry, cracked skin. My hands tend to dry out once the cold weather hits, as do my lips, but after some exfoliation and moisturization, neither cause me any excessive trouble. With my hands occasionally getting on the crispy side, I do … More Dry skin? Try Moroccanoil
I don’t recall ever writing a post that simultaneously serves as a cry for help, but there is a first for everything, I suppose.

Before anyone starts attacking me via their keyboard, allow me the opportunity to acknowledge that, unlike my title suggests, adult acne, more than likely, is not arbitrary in nature.

When it comes to makeup-removing products, I can’t exactly say I’m an active player in the game. Please don’t come for me, skin professionals and those who work in the beauty realm, but I’ve never really made use of actual makeup-removing products when it comes to removing my makeup. I’ve always relied on my regular … More Drunk Elephant Slaaiâ„¢ Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser: an honest review
