Here’s a collection of things I bought that I love.
Josie Maran Bear Naked Wipes & Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes
I love these facial wipes because sometimes I just don’t want to put water on my face at night. When I know I should take my makeup off but want to go straight to bed, I use these gentle and effective wipes. The Yes to Cucumbers one smells great.
Noble Tonic 01: Tuthilltown Bourbon Barrel Matured Maple Syrup
Canadian maple syrup matured in bourbon barrels. I love maple syrup and I love whiskey. What a wonderful combination. Irresistibly delicious on top of waffles and pancakes. This is without a doubt the best maple syrup ever.
Rewind Rose candle
I love the whole line of Rewind candles but Rose is probably my favorite. Each Rewind candle is handcrafted from a repurposed wine bottle, and the fragrance is blended to mimic the aromas found in popular varietals of wine.
illuminage skin rejuvenating eye mask
I bought the illuminage skin rejuvenating pillow case and the eye mask together. They’re both great. The eye mask has been particularly useful for travel. When I travel for work I take short flights that are only 1-1.5 hours, but I will board, settle in my seat, put on my eye mask and ear plugs, and sleep for the entire flight. I am really good at sleeping. My friends borrowed this when they were staying with me in Whistler in a room that was very bright, and remarked that it was a “very fancy” eye mask. If you’re tired of using the plastic-feeling eye masks that come in travel kits, it’s time for an upgrade!
Jerusalem: A Cookbook by Yotam Ottolenghi
There are many delicious and well-written recipes in this book. If you like middle eastern food, food with spices, and/or new and healthy ways to cook, you’ll enjoy the dishes in this book. I love making the Chicken with Caramelized Onion and Cardamom Rice. The photos in the book are mouthwatering. I’m also a fan of Ottolenghi’s Plenty and Plenty More (vegetarian cookbooks).
Kenneth Jay Lane Pearl Choker
I love this statement pearl choker. A modern take on pearls. Most recently worn on the blog here, here, and here.
VegaOne All-In-One Nutritional Shake
I am very active with sports and working out so I’m mindful of how I’m fuelling my body. I don’t eat a lot of meat – actually I rarely eat any – so this is a good protein supplement to add to my smoothies. I dislike the taste of most protein powders but the VegaOne French vanilla flavor goes well with my green smoothies and isn’t overpowering.
Anastasia Brow Wiz Pencil
I’ve been on a mission to find the best brow pencil/gel/powder/you-name-it. The Anastasia Brow Wiz pencil is the one I’ve been reaching for the most in the morning. It has a very fine tip and deposits a light to moderate amount of color that makes it really easy to fill in my brows naturally. I use the color Ebony.
