Natural Beauty Haul: Blogger Box from M Squared Brands

I've always been interested in delving into the world of natural beauty and skincare products, but I've never been too sure where to start. Fortunately for me, M Squared Brands sent me this lovely package filled with some amazing looking natural products that I cannot wait to review for you all! I've been trying out a lot of them since the package arrived, but I'll wait until I've formed concrete opinions on each before reviewing!

I got quite a few products from the brand Acure, which I am excited to try out. I haven't yet tried out the Aromatherapeutic Moroccan Argan Oil but how amazing does that sound? I'll definitely be trying that one out very soon. The packaging on these products are also super cute! I also receieved the Lavender Calming Body Lotion and the Quick Fix Correcting Balm.

As someone who suffers from eczema, I was immediately drawn in by the Calendula Intensive Skin Recovery cream from the brand Weleda, and it's been the one item from the box that I've used the most consistently thus far. I'll definitely be doing a blog post on this product in the near future! I also received a body spray/perfume from them as well, in a citrus scent!

I was also sent peppermint gum from the brand Spry, a travel toothbrush from the brand Radius, a deodorant stick from the brand Lafe's and some lip balm from the Green Beaver Company, all of which I'm excited to test out. I've always been curious to switch to a natural deodorant, so I'm hoping this one is good! The lip balm as already found its place in my purse. Spoiler: it is really really good!

Expect a review on each of these products in the very near future!
Happy Friday!

The BEST and EASIEST Waffle Recipe! (Blogmas Day 9)

When it starts to get chilly out, I find myself making waffles pretty often. In fact, our Sunday breakfast usually consists of waffles of some kind. And in my house, I'm the designated waffle chef. I have the best recipe for waffles that are truly delicious AND any lazy chefs dream; its all done in one bowl, with ingredients everyone has in their kitchen. Literally foolproof and delicious. Perfect for Christmas morning! Makes anywhere from 8-12 waffles, depending on the size of your waffle iron. Ingredients: 2 cups of All-Purpose flour 1 tablespoon of baking powder 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar 1/4 teaspoon of salt 2 eggs (beaten) 1 teaspoon of vanilla (but you can add another 1/2 teaspoon if you want a stronger vanilla taste!) 1-3/4 cups of milk 1/4 cup vegetable oil Directions: 1) In a big bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar and salt) 2) Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients and add your wet ingredients 3...

1 Year of Covid-19: A reflection

It feels like just yesterday we were all feeling the anxiety and uncertainty of a new disease that was spreading quickly around the world that no one truly understood yet. We were facing the first wave of cases, the fear of going outside and being around people and the first round of quarantines and restrictions. It feels like just yesterday, but also so long ago. I, and I am sure many others, am feeling a mix of emotions. Sad for the loss of comfort we once had. Grief for all the lives lost and permanently changed. Thankful for my health and that of my family. Gratitude for the scientists and frontline workers alike, working tirelessly behind the scenes I hope that one day we can return to a new normal. I hope that one day I'll be able to go to work and not feel afraid to get too close to my coworkers and patients. I hope that no one will ever again have to face the end of their lives all alone. I hope that no one has their life cut short because of...

Review: Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout Shampoo

Hello there! So I've been on the hunt for a shampoo to tame my wild hair for ages, so I picked up this during my recent Lush visit in hopes that it would help with my thick, coarse, dry hair. According to Lush , this has: Stout to calm: For all hair types but especially beneficial for fluffy, hard-to-manage hair. Friend to all scalps: Yeast improves the health of the hair and scalp. For a polished finish: Organic lemon juice is a gentle cleanser that adds masses of shine and gloss. After using this for a little while now, I can say that I'm pretty much still on the fence about it. Pros: Though my hair is still a little frizzy, its definitely a bit better than it used to be. My hair is also softer to the touch and shinier. Cons: I've noticed my hair gets greasier a lot quicker since using this shampoo. I also feel as though it may be drying out my scalp, but it'll take a little more time to know for sure if its because of th...
