Morning Mediation

Hello Loves
Today I am here to write about my morning mediation with matcha and the benefits matcha has to improve your life. I love starting my morning with tea. It's a great way to boost energy while having a soothing cup of tea. I recently was at one of my favourite places to get food and amazing organic drinks. I tried the matcha ice tea with lemon, I love matcha but never had the combination of matcha and lemon. Matcha is great for boosting immunity, flushing out toxins with its awesome antioxidant properties. It's contains antioxidants known as polyphenols. Polyphenols are known to help protect against heart disease, regulate blood sugar and so much more. Matcha is sensitive to light to it's always important to make sure it's in a dark area where sun cannot damage its nutrients, once matcha has been opened its best to use it up so you get the best nutritional  values out of your matcha. What I really love about matcha is the fact that it has caffeine but not to the point of feeling jittery inside from drinking coffee. It had that perfect amount of caffeine that makes you feel relaxed yet energized for the day. Drinking matcha in the morning is my like having time to mediate and be ready for the day that's ahead of me.  Its a time of peace and relaxation.
Have a wonderful day everyone 

Skin Care Routine

Hello Lovely's
Its been awhile since I posted on here!

Today I am bringing you my current skin care routine. I have been using a bunch of amazing products! These products have been calming my skin and letting it glow. I absolutely love not wearing face make up anymore. I love just letting my skin shine through. Before I talk about my Skin care routine I want to tell you its so important to eat healthy and stay hydrated thoughtout the day to have good skin. It really all starts within and truly believing your skin will improve.

Cleanser:
The first product I use in both the morning and night is the La Mer Cleanser this is an a fabulous product that I have been using for the past two years. It is on the expensive side, but what I find is it lasts me the whole year and has been doing wonders for my skin

Toner:
The next product is the Chanel Hydra Beauty Lotion which I added into my routine last year. I love how its hydrating for my drier skin. I find toner can strip my skin of hydration but this one leaves my skin well hydrated and prepared for the next strep in my skin care routine.

Serum:
I also added in the Chanel Hydra Beauty Serum, which I used when I was younger and for some reason I stopped using it. I am so happy to have started using it again!  Its a great product that gives my skin the extra boost of hydration which I need.

Moisturizers:
Lastly I use both the La Mer and the Biovera Moisturizers:
I alternate between the two. I started using a sample of the La Mer Soft Cream, and have loved using it ever since!

The other moisturizer, I found at my local health food store. I was looking for a moisturizer and I didn't have access to buying the La Mer Soft cream so I bought the Biovera because it looked like a unique product with amazing organic ingredients. Its a great moisturizer for anyone with dry to combination skin. I would denfiteny recommend it if you come across it.

Have a wonderful day!

Let Your Skin Shine Through

I think the most wonderful thing you can do for your skin is give it a break from make up throughout most of the week. As a person that loves makeup or suffers from acne, it can be hard to do so. In high school,  I worn makeup most of the time which was hard on my skin and didn't help with the breakouts. Once I started university. I didn't have the need to constantly wear makeup. Over time I saw my skin become clearer and healthier. My skin felt bright and refreshed. The acne really started to disappear and my confidence boosted so much. I have always been a very confident person but once I took off the makeup and let my skin shine through. It was a whole new experience of condifence which made me feel so great about myself.  If your a person who wears a lot of makeup and/or suffers from acne its time to take the mask off and let your gorgeous self shine.  I'm giving you the challenge of no make-up for one month, eating healthily and drinking penalty of water! Once you have done this challenge you will love the results and will feel the need to not wear make-up as much. Have an amazing day and let me know in the comments below if your taking the one month challenge! Stay Beautiful!

Looking Good, While Being Fit!

I picked up some athletic cloths for my travels to nationals. I love lululemon clothing for working out and training in. The cloths fit to my body perfectly. 

I picked up the Movement Jacket: $108 

Vita Loca Tank: $48 

Run: A Marathon Crop II: $88 which are running pants that have so many pockets which is a must for me in a running pant. 

Run: Stuff Your Bra II: $52 (Aka best sports bra ever invented) it has pocks for your iPod or Phone.    I actually picked up two pairs of socks but have already worn them and there in the laundry $14 per pair. 

Mini On The Go Hair Products

I will be heading to nationals this year and for my travels I picked up the mini size of my favourite Harmonic conditioner. I also picked up the shampoo since I've been curious to try it and know I will love. I love this brand for it's Devine and hydrating conditioner. My hair tends to lighten in the summer and the ends can become dry but with this conditioner my hair is soft and healthy. I am so excited to try the shampoo, I love how this brand is free of sulfates,parabens, silicones, ethoxylates, peg, phthalates and sythetic fragrances because what ever is applied topically especially to ones hair can be just as damaging as ingesting it. So I believe it's important to stay heathy from both the inside and outside. I try to buy this without harsh chemicals even though in this day an age it can be hard and I still like to try out different brands. It's all a process to change into a fully healthy lifestyle. Have a wonderful day gorgeous :)

New Organic Face Powder

                                                                I picked up this face powder by Zuii which is an amazing line of organic products from Australia. Since my current  powder by Sweet LeiLane is too light for my skin tone. I was in need of a new powder and thought it would be a good idea it to try the Zuii powder. I picked up the colour in hazelnut, it's a beautiful powder that matches my tanned skin tone perfectly. It's a light coverage that is very buildable and gives a natural look to your skin without looking cakie. I would totally recommend this to anyone looking for natural yet a long lasting powder. Stay healthy and beautiful! Xoxo

Mini Skin Care Haul and Review

                                                                     I came across this product at the health food store I go to. For years it hasn't been offered in Canada. I am so happy, I got ahold of this lovely product it's fantastic for the the face and skin. I apply it at night and it gives a beautiful glow to the skin in the morning. Defiently a product worth trying a must in everyone's skin care regime.                                      

 The next product is a brand that I have never heard of and decided it would be worth a try. I apply it morning and night at it keeps my skin will moisturized throughout the day while I am trying in the hot sun. As an athlete I like to keep my skin care routine simple in the mornings. I like the feeling this cream leaves my skin very hydrated and soft. My skin can get quiet dry being in the sun all day and this cream leaves my face feeling very lush. Hope everyone is having a great and beautiful day! Xoxo
