Five on Friday - September 29, 2023 ~ Relaxing Friday Night With Dr. Teals, Houseplant Hookups Book, Sheep River Falls, Smash and Tess Forever Frosted Dress, and Ban.do 2024 Planner

Happy Friday everyone - I hope you all had a great week! I'm sorry I'm being such a bad blogger and only posting two times a week right now! I just feel like there is so much going on, I can hardly stay above water and I just don't have enough time to do it all! 

ONE 

The Dr. Teals products and the Houseplants book were received as PR samples

Speaking of that, just in the nick of time, Dr. Teals sent me some relaxing bath products and I'm ready for some serious bubble bath time! I've reviewed their Foaming Bath and Epsom Salts, so these aren't new products on the blog, but this particular type are and they are lovely! 

Monthly Beauty & Book Haul ~ January 2022

I'm switching up my Monthly Haul posts a little bit this year, because I'm actually *trying* to stick to a bit of a budget! I've been going a little crazy on the beauty and books front, so I just want to be a little more thoughtful in my purchases. So. I'm trying to keep my beauty and book purchases to $200 a month - we'll see! 

I do always love my Monthly Haul posts - it's a good way to keep track of everything that I picked up each month. I don't always blog about everything I pick up (I try to), but if you ever spot anything in here that you really want me to talk about, let me know! 

I purchased everything in this post - this post contains affiliate links

Indigo Haul ~ $78.75 CAN. Ooooh Indigo is a spot to pick up beauty & books now - it was basically made for me! I have been really wanting to try an LED light therapy mask, so I found this Auria mask for just under $80 (plus I get a small discount). Also, Janet Fitch was one of my favourite authors (with White Oleander), so this book, The Revolution of Marina M. was on sale for $8 plus a discount, I had to pick it up as well! 

Monthly Beauty Empties - May & June 2021

Here's a look at my May and June Beauty Empties:

Some products were received as PR samples - this post contains affiliate links

Guerlain Meteorites Light-Diffusing Perfecting Primer ~ sample size shown (full size is $85.00 CAN). For skin that seems lit from within, apply this smoothing liquid to clean, moisturized skin as an essential first step in any makeup routine.

I just shared this on my 21 in 2021 Project Pan - I finished this as much as I could before there was no more getting out. This was fine; it has the distinct Guerlain scent and the primer was fine. This is older and discontinued now. 

Repurchase: No can do

Monthly Beauty Favourites - May 2021

Here's a look at what I was loving in May:

The Dr. Teals and Skoah were received as PR samples

This month I wasn't trying or playing with a ton of makeup, so this might be my first Favourites in a long time that doesn't have any makeup products in it! 

Relaxing Bubblebath Night With Dr. Teals Melatonin Epsom Salts and Foaming Bath

It's been a week around here (or if we are being real, it's been a year, right?!) I know that my general stress have been pretty high since the pandemic and all this up and down with restrictions, plus personal and work things has me feeling pretty wound up and burnt out lately. 

These were received as PR samples

All of this has been piling up and was impacting my sleep, so I have started to be very deliberate in making sure I'm implementing a solid bedtime routine to help me settle and make sure I'm sleeping well.
