– as temperatures plummet to near or below zero this time of year our skin can take a radiance nose dive and become dry, flaky and dull. mine has been getting drier and drier on account of my husband liking our home toasty warm 24/7 and me preferring it a little cooler ( especially at night), a few of those pregnancy hormones must have stayed behind. i've never met a mask i didn't love and was so excited when i got my hands on this new one from Bliss Spa's.
– there is no denying that the world needs a big hug right now, and as i was sitting in my bath last night enjoying a moment free from my toddler ( who was tucked into bed) i started thinking about simpler times in my life. times when i would sit in a bathtub until the water got cold, because i had nothing better to do at the time and that got me to thinking about whimsical things that may bring a smile to all of our faces at least for a moment, and that led to thoughts of what to write about and those thoughts led to these colorful snaps of Paul and Joe Beauty's recent collab with Looney Tunes and Warner Brothers. i am perfectly aware we can't bury our head in the sand regarding the issues going on in our world, but we can take a moment to boost our spirits and what better way than with images of Saturday morning cartoons stamped onto our beauty products?
– it wouldn't be a SBDGirls Gift Guide if we didn't shower you with amazing beauty gift ideas (for yourself or someone else), we will always focus on bringing our Vancouverites something local to add to their shopping list too along with our Sephora favs. any of the above gift ideas work as stocking stuffers, additions to gifts or as birthday presents to our December babies. we would be stoked to receive any of these awesome gifts….or maybe all of them! check out the list below and click on the links to shop.
– it's that time of year again and we are excited to help you with the process by bringing you our first ever Holiday Gift Guide! for the next week we will bring you 2 of our favorite unique gifts and tell you where to get them. in a culture that is always looking for the next big, or unique "thing" it's important for us to look far and wide around our little metropolis for some awesome goodies to get you excited. we take #shoplocal very seriously and try to shop at a local business or for locally made pieces whenever we can, even if that means spending a little more. why? because we like knowing who our dollars are going to. not some unnamed corporate boss or bosses that may not even reside in Canada. we want to shop with the ladies or gents who started their own shop and stock unique products that they love. buy soap from a company started here in Vancouver, from people who want to bring their customers the best and most beneficial ingredients free of unneeded chemicals. so if you're like us and you've been wanting to gind more ways to #shoplocal, take a look below and get inspired!
