One Week of Pampering : Hydrate Wednesday

Welcome to Hump-Day Wednesday! 

Its mid-week and what should we do to pamper ourselves today? If you live in a cold climate like me - hello Canadian winters - then you know how important it is to stay hydrated and moisturized. The heaters are on and the cold air feels super dry. You really don't have a choice lol.

One Week of Pampering : Deep Pore Cleanse Tuesday

Hi again! This is the second installment of my mini-series that I dubbed "One Week of Pampering". In case you missed the first one, go ahead and read Exfoliate Monday here. 

Once a week, I like to do a deep pore cleanse. This helps my pores appear smaller and also over time, decrease the chances of breakouts on the face. 

One Week of Pampering : Exfoliate Monday

Kicking off the mini-series this week, today I'm going to give my 2 cents on the topic of exfoliation.

Mini Series - One Week of Pampering

Starting next week, I will be putting up a new post each day (from Monday to Sunday) where I talk about how I pamper myself in the evenings. I think this would be useful to those who are planning and preparing for a big event, or just anybody who wants to have a relaxing time at home. I really think it makes a difference when you take the time to make yourself feel special because I believe you need to take care of yourself first before you can really take care of others!

I'm going to list below what I plan to post for each day. But please keep in mind that there might be a few changes. I'll try to stick the schedule below though =)

Monday: Exfoliate Monday

Tuesday: Deep Pore Cleanse Tuesday

Wednesday: Hydrate Wednesday

Thursday: Treatment Thursday

Friday: Glycolic Friday

Saturday: Spa Saturday

Sunday: Fun Sunday


I hope you guys enjoy this mini series!

Hadalabo Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Acid Skincare Range

From left to right: Hadalabo Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Acid Foaming Wash, Toner and Moisturizing Milk

Another japanese skincare post! This one more affordable than previously posted SK-II range (you can read it here). 

Hadalabo is a drugstore brand in Japan known for being affordable, gentle, suitable for sensitive skin and its simple, no-frills approach with ingredients. Don't mistake simple for non-efficient though. I found that this particular range, Gokujyun, is a hardworking moisturizing range that keeps my skin calm and hydrated for the entire day.

Product Empties - October 2013

I am pretty terrible with keeping empty bottles of things. I like to avoid clutter and keep things clean and organized and so my first reaction to empty products is to chuck it awayyy asap.

Well now, see what I did for you guys here. That's right. I went against my natural inclinations and kept the darned things haha! 

Body Care Routine - Winter Edition November 2013

I always tell people that my favourite seasons are Autumn/Fall. I love wearing cozy sweaters and trendy coats, as well as fashionable boots! I get excited buying fall and winter fashion items. 

The one thing that I'm NOT excited about is dry skin all over my body. If i just use normal foaming body washes (even in the summer), I swear that my skin becomes reptilian...all scaly...*sheds tears* its terrible.

This winter I became so frustrated with how itchy and dry my body was. My limbs were so parched that I felt they were being torn in two, so finally I put together a routine to take care of my issues. Today I'm going to talk about the products I use to control my super dry body skin. I am going to restrict it to just body care and do a separate post on winter hair care and winter skin care later on. Hope you enjoy this post!
