2015 Oscar Predictions

While the Oscars are on tonight, I will be on a bus, heading back from Reading Week, in what I'm hoping won't be be too snowy conditions. But, even though I won't be able to watch them until tomorrow, that didn't stop me from trying to watch all the Oscar movies I could, to make my predictions.

The Body Shop Sweet Almond Oil Nail Polish Remover

Nail polish remover isn't something I've ever considered paying more than $5 on and even then I would just buy whatever was on sale. Since deciding last year that I wanted to introduce more natural and ethically sourced products into my regime, I still hadn't explored the aisles of The Body Shop. I was super intrigued by their nail polish remover and how it contained almond oil to nourish cuticles.

Target Liquidation Haul

It's been a sad time for us Canadians, losing Target and now the niche between Walmart and a proper department store (even Sears is on its way out). But there is always a silver lining and the silver lining here is a liquidation sale! Actually things got a little bit sadder considering the lack of real deals, I mean 10% kitchen products...that's pretty standard in department stores, I mean those are the kinda saving you get with a Student Pricing Card or one of those Target debit cards which I'm sure all the owners are now regretting. But lo and behold, cosmetics were 30% and that even had my mother rushing out to Target.

Makeup Removing

Everyone raves about micellaire water and bi-phase eye makeup remover, but which makeup remover do you really need and what s best for what? While I haven't tried every option on the market, I think I have a good idea of what product works best for what and hopefully that can give you a good idea of what product you need.

Snacking Healthier with Four925

Last week, on the day of the snowstorm, I just could not shake the craving of something salty. Thankfully by the late afternoon the snow stopped blowing and I decided to go to my last class of the day. On the way home I stopped at my favourite convenience store which caters to the student demographic, carrying more organic, fair trade and healthy options for snacks as well as groceries. After getting my maple bacon Kettle Chips (not the healthiest choice) home, I devoured them while watching Downton Abbey and proceeded to feel disgustingly boated, all night long. Usually when I go grocery shopping I will buy a chocolate bar and for my daily snack, break off one row and have that. It sometimes works when I'm at school all day or running around being busy, but when I'm at home sat in front my laptop, I neeeeed something to keep my hands busy. I realized that night that I wanted to change how I snacked.

Body Shop Haul

As I promised in my empties post, there will be many hauls coming. I can be so frugal and so having to buy everything all at once really stresses me out. As such, my hauls will probably just be coming in small doses.

January 2015 Reading Wrap-Up

This month I didn't get up to too much reading but when I did sit down to read, I read a lot. The books for January were all quite diverse and it made it a little more refreshing from all the Thomas Cromwell that happened in December. Additionally, I want to take part in Fantastical February so that will be a month of all one genre.

Empties #1

This summer I decided I was going to stop buying skincare every time I decide that my skin needs something different. Consequently, all my skincare is beginning to run out at the same time. Before xmas, my toner ran out and I promptly bought the Keihl's Ultra Facial Toner and since my new skincare additions, my skin has feeling amazing. So stay tuned to lots of empties and hauls in the weeks to come.
