The Perfect Easter Treat | 4 Ingredient Vegan Meringue Cookies

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH MERINGUES WITHOUT EGG WHITES.

Say what!?!
I know it sounds strange because meringues have always been made of egg whites. Heck, that is what meringue IS! But what if I told you, that you could make these delightful little, melt in your mouth, treats with a secret ingredient you likely have in your pantry already? And it's got no dairy in sight!
This recipe makes the perfect little Easter treat, or make them larger in a nest shape, fill with fruit and whipped cream and have the lightest, sweet dessert!... Read More

5 Glow Enhancing Products For Natural Radiance

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU ALL, THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD HAS NOT BEEN KIND ON MY SKIN.
I have dry dull skin on a good day, but the stress of what's going on in the world, paired with a toddler that's gone nocturnal has been wreaking havoc on this face. Between dryness, breaking out, all makeup sinking into pores I didn't know I had and texture on texture- well it's been rough. 
I've been reaching for all the glow enhancing products I can get. I'm craving that radiance, that plumped up skin, that youthful glow that just doesn't come easy to me. But here's the thing, not all glow-getting products do it for me; I don't want glitter, sparkle or for my makeup to feel and stay sticky all day.I want natural-looking dewy skin. 
I want glow, but it still needs to be wearable.... Read More

Being a Full Time Blogger in Hard Economic Times | Earning Money Blogging

AS A BLOGGER, I OFFER YOU FREE CONTENT SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK.

Sometimes it's a think piece, other times it's a fluffy review on an eyeshadow palette. Occasionally it's to bring to light serious issues that need attention, like escaping an emotionally abusive relationship or spot a gaslighter.
Of course, no one is holding a gun to your head to read my content, but Google Analytics tells there's a constant growing wonderful audience that do. And I am humbled and grateful, always.
But we're in some unprecedented hard times folks.
I'll speak for myself and other small businesses, content creators, independents and freelancers when I say that many of us have no idea when we will next get paid. Many of us worry about trying to hunt down payment for projects we delivered 1-2 months ago and are coming up due. The trickle-down effect when in this industry is much bigger than I'd reckon many realize. 
But there are some easy and free ways you, sweet reader, can help.... Read More

5 Recent Drugstore Product Favourites and Fails

I'M UNAPOLOGETICALLY A LUXURY BEAUTY LOVER... BUT WHO DOESN'T LOVE A DRUGSTORE BEAUTY FAVOURITE?
The drugstore has been levelling up its beauty game over the last couple of years. I'd been itching to try some of these products forever and had previously written off a few as not possibly being worth the hype.
I am however happy to admit when I am wrong because there were some real winners in this collection of drugstore products! And in this time of financial uncertainty, it's always nice to find products that perform and are affordable.

What I’ve Learned Social Distancing | Ways to Spend Time in Quarantine

FRIENDS, IT'S A WILD TIME FOR OUR WORLD. A month ago... hell a couple of weeks ago...I thought this whole Corona Virus/Covid-19 was something that would blow over. It "didn't affect me" and it felt all too safe in my little corner of the world here in Vancouver, Canada.  I was wrong. Turns out this thing is bigger than any of us ever probably expected, or at least hoped, it would ever be. The local hospital 5 minutes away has had to shut their doors to only emergencies due to outbreak, all parks, recreation and non-essential stores have close. It's been hard to not feel like it's all a bit apocalyptic. ... Read More

The Drugstore Hair Miracle Worker? L’Oreal Wonder Water

CAN YOU GET AMAZING HAIR IN 8 SECONDS? The new L'Oreal 8 Second Wonder Water says yes. Calling itself a Lamellar Rinse Out treatment, it supposedly works in just 8 seconds in the shower. The product claims to give silkier, shinier hair, without any silicones or weighing it down. Apparently, it is suitable for all hair types, which I have to tell you, made me really sceptical. Having fine, thin, straight hair that also suffers from loads of breakage, frizz and general postpartum strife, I wasn't expecting much.... Read More
