Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep & Idealia Life Serum Reviews

June 15, 2015 Danielle D'Ornellas
Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep & Life Serum

Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep & Life Serum

Good health, good sleep and good skin. I don't ask for much when life gets really tough and busy (**like right now**) but sometimes even these three things can be impossible to secure, and that's where Vichy comes to the rescue!

Vichy's latest skin care line, **Idealia**, was created specifically to leave women with their ideal skin, regardless of environmental damage their skin may be exposed to, such as pollution, signs of aging and stress. 

I received these two products to sample from Chickadvisor and was curious to see if these two products would stand up to their lofty claims!

Davids Tea Cherry Blossom

Guess what time it is? It's tea time! Put those mascara wands and eyeshadow palettes away for a minute and pour yourself a cup of tea, or at least, see what I'm drinking.

Today's featured blend is a white tea from the ever-popular [Davids Tea][0], a major Canadian tea retailer that sells a wide variety of teas online and in stores all across Canada and in some stores in the US.

Beauty Banter: My Biggest Wastes of Money

June 9, 2015 Danielle D'Ornellas

Earlier this year I missed these amazing posts from Refinery29 where New York City women share the biggest waste of space in their closet and in their beauty regime. It's a breath of fresh air and I'm sure everybody interested in beauty and fashion can relate to this, even in the smallest of ways. I was also inspired to do a sort of 'tell-all' post for some of my biggest wastes of money when it comes to fashion and beauty and would love to hear yours as well! (Reveal your secrets!)

Marvis Toothpaste: Aquatic Mint & Jasmin Mint Review

June 1, 2015 Danielle D'Ornellas
Marvis Aquatic Mint & Jasmin Mint

Marvis Aquatic Mint & Jasmin Mint

It's funny, the kind of conversations you find yourself having when you live with somebody. Simple things like toothpaste can become hilariously polarizing household issues if you're not careful! My boyfriend is a stalwart user of Sensodyne, while I hop from Crest to Colgate and back again. He prefers very specific flavours (mint, wintermint, super mint, mint!) while I'm cool with a baking soda flavour, or spearmint, or heck, even something crazier... like jasmine perhaps? 

And this is where Marvis Toothpaste comes into play.

Looks like it's time for my monthly makeup! This time last year I was only two weeks post-eye surgery so I couldn't wear makeup at all and then all of ~ this ~ happened. I was going through my vanity recently, not that I've had to desire to wear stuf
Looks like it's time for my monthly makeup! This time last year I was only two weeks post-eye surgery so I couldn't wear makeup at all and then all of ~ this ~ happened. I was going through my vanity recently, not that I've had to desire to wear stuff again, and discovered that SO many of my products had gone bad, and, of them, how many were things I had barely touched. I'm not heading to MINIMALISM or anything, but it has been a bit cathartic to throw out things and really take stock of things, whether it's makeup, or just anything else in life. The one thing I feel grateful for in the last time is more of this time to figure out what *I* actually want, even if it's not what I expected one year ago.
Took a half day yesterday and ended up at the lake. It wasn't too cold, but the skyline looked amazing. I'm still pretty sad these days, not gonna lie, but it felt nice to do something outside and I hope this weather sticks around so I can experience

Today was a holiday, it meant I didn't need to go to work, but when work is just a desk in your living room two feet from your couch, it still feels like you're always at work and never at work, and always waiting until you just turn the laptop back
Today was a holiday, it meant I didn't need to go to work, but when work is just a desk in your living room two feet from your couch, it still feels like you're always at work and never at work, and always waiting until you just turn the laptop back on. Days have no real meaning, time has no meaning, the monotony is just what it is now. Today wasn't a good day. I didn't have to do anything and I couldn't really do anything. Stuff felt pointless, hobbies felt pointless. Everything felt hard and yet I still had to force myself through it. Here's to basically just muddling through. Because we're all gonna have these days and to pretend you don't isn't helping anyone, even yourself.
To celebrate our 14th anniversary, @thecjm and I made the best of it and ordered the set course from @alobaryorkville including some amazing scallops, a duck confit, amazing milk bread & a truly decadent millefeuille, streamed their Spotify playl
To celebrate our 14th anniversary, @thecjm and I made the best of it and ordered the set course from @alobaryorkville including some amazing scallops, a duck confit, amazing milk bread & a truly decadent millefeuille, streamed their Spotify playlist, made some cocktails & had a good night in. I even threw on a dress and tights so at least I partially felt like we were really going out! ♥️ Not our most exciting anniversary, but definitely in the top ten 😉.
First pic on the grid in 2021 is a makeup free, eye bag visible, sunshine selfie and I'm not mad about it. The last few weeks have been rough, but so have the last two months of lockdown in Toronto and hell, the last ten months in general. But it is
