The World is a Playground

Do you use whatever bar of soap you have in your shower or near your bathroom sink to wash your face? 

There's only a couple of days left of 2020. What a year. It feels like this past year was multiple years long. Does that make sense? I can't say the entire year was bad or a crap show because we welcomed Lily into the world back in July. She's been the highlight of the year - she's happy and giggly and so freaking snuggly. 

But I'm excited and interested to see what 2021 holds...

The last Gift Guide! Today I'm sharing ideas for babies and kids - age 3 months to 3 years approximately. I find children's and babies' toys hard because the suggested age isn't the most accurate. But the suggestions I have on my Gift Guide have worked wonderfully for my 2 children and for kids I've bought them for. 

Hello! How's your Christmas shopping going? I shared the first part of my Gift Guide a couple of days ago. Now today, I'm sharing the next part - Gifts for Her. My inspiration for these gifts were cozy, self-care, clean, and treats.

Women, especially if they're responsible for little ones or for taking care of other loved ones, have felt some extra stress this year because of the pandemic. I can't speak for everyone, but I know for myself and my close friends and family, we want comfort right now - a moment alone, comfortable clothes, quality skin care, and ways to relax and escape the crazy world. This is what I came up with:

Hey! It's 2 weeks until Christmas! I hope you're done your shopping, but if not, I have some gift ideas to share with you this weekend.

I tried to focus on clean, Canadian, and unique gift ideas! Up first, a gift guide for him/them - a little more masculine, though I'd 100% use a good chunk of these items. I tried to think of what Adam uses and would love when coming up with this gift guide.

Makeup... I've been obsessed since high school. And when I say obsessed, I mean I was spending my part-time, after school job pay cheques on high end makeup brands - MAC, Smashbox, Clinique. I had expensive taste from an early start. 

Over the years my expensive taste hasn't gone away, however, I've simplified my makeup routine and I've been on the hunt for THE perfect foundation and concealer since it's always been my staple to help even out my skin tone.

Funny how I found my perfect foundation and concealer in a Clean Beauty company - Beautycounter!
