Pretty In Pink

Oh how I adore this movie....

Some of my favourite beauty products

I'm definitely not a slave to high end brands.  My goal is always to find the products that works best for me.  Sometimes, nothing beats a high end product.  Other times, you really are paying for the name.  I love it when I can find cheaper options that work just as well as their high end equivalents.  

Here are a few of my favourite must have items:

    My daily shampoo (Bumble and Bumble's Gentle Shampoo).  It's amazing for colour-treated hair.  I've yet to find a cheaper product that works as well for my hair.

An amazing cheap dry shampoo.  I've tried Bumble and Bumble's dry shampoo and this is just as good (and WAY cheaper....why pay $40+ when Batiste is under $10?!)

                                                         My daily face wash by Marcelle.

I love my BodyShop makeup brushes.  Added bonus - the flat bottoms allow them to stand up on their own!

Rimmel's Shock Gloss is awesome and such a bargain.

                                                            This is my summer sunscreen.

                                               I love this colour on my toes.  So vibrant!

This invisible roll on is a life-saver in the summer when I live in sleeveless shirts and dresses.  Nothing worse than getting deodorant all over your clothes.

My daily moisturizer.

                            This body wash helps control breakouts while still smelling great (pink grapefruit).

                                                           My current favourite mascara.

....and away we go!

So here I am starting my very first blog.  I'm still not really sure when or why I started looking at random blogs, but seeing so many people connecting and sharing their stories inspired me to start my own.  I don't have one particular focus in mind....in fact, I have so many different interests and thoughts that you really will get a little bit of everything (food, fashion, music, movies, tv, consumer reviews, photos, career talk, and who knows what else).....a little sample platter of life's little moments and big adventures.  

I'm still putting the pieces together and making a lot up as I go along!  Even though I have a career and long-term relationship, I'm still a long way from having everything figured out.  Everyday I struggle to figure out what it is that I want in this life, how to be happy with who I am and stop comparing myself to others, and how to make sense of everything.  I feel as though blogging might help me celebrate who I am as an individual and see the value in those differences rather than always falling into the comparison trap.  I'm working on it!

Here's to sharing the journey!
