Ive struggled for years with a mixture of hormonal acne, general skin texture, redness, hyperpigmentation (post inflammatory erythema) and ended up making it worse by using products that did more harm that good on my sensitive clog prone skin and damaged my skin barrier. I finally have clear skin and know what works for me and what doesn't from lots of trial and error. Ive tried to include a mixture of price points! Its also important to me that and products i use in the AM sit well under makeup so none of these products pill don't worry :)

My favorite hair care products!
Hair type:
- medium thickness
- wavy
- permed and colored in the past
- medium oiliness (could go 1-2 days without washing but I don’t like to)
- loooooong (almost down to my hips :/ grew it out for the wedding)
- layered
- not much dryness/dandruff but definitely gets itchy from time to time
- tractional alopecia around the temples
- would love to have fuller, more voluminous hair
I have been on a long haircare journey to find the best products for me that make my hair feel soft, shiny, and prevent split ends while also being color safe (ya girl colors her hair a lot lol). I recently found out that my hair type is low porosity (aka thin) which means that lighter weight products penetrate into my hair follicles better than thicker hair products. More does not always = better. The less products used on my hair, the better. Also did you know that most haircare products are likely the cause of your breakouts on your face, neck, and back?! A lot of hair products are made with thick ingredients like coconut oil which is highly comedogenic. If you have acne prone skin you should be looking for thinner, more bouncy textures/ ingredients that won't cause as many breakouts.
I reach for these make up favs every day, no matter the season. They never fail and always make me feel confident! Because if you feel confident, everything else falls into place.

Let’s be honest — Pinterest is full of “viral must-haves,” but not all of them live up to the hype. I’ve tried so many of those trending favorites, and these are the ones that actually earned a permanent spot in my routine. From glowing skin and easy everyday makeup to comfy clothes and aesthetic home decor, here are the viral finds I personally love and recommend!
Here is a list of my core Pro kit favourites from mainstream brands, I also use many of the brands that I listed in the Canadian Beauty Brand list, check that out too. I am a fan of trying to use what I have, let the inner artist work by mixing and blending my own colours and shades. Its a fun challenge to mix and create rather than have a billion separate shades of pink, minimalism and creativity within my kit is the goal, yet still be able to do any job that comes my way.
These are products that I am currently using that I love and may be repurchasing or items that I have used in the past that I still think are great products and would recommend to people. For some of these products, the only reason why I did not repurchase but continue to recommend to people is that my skin leans on the more sensitive side so I may have needed to switch to a more gentle product. *I do try to point those out with a “*” to start the description.
