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.

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.

Five on Friday - May 7, 2021 ~ XO Treatment Room Super Mom Box, Dynamite Clothing Haul, Giveaways I Won, Bones Coffee, and April Declutter

Happy May everyone - can you believe we are in the month of May already?! Aaaannnddd, Alberta just announced tougher lock downs because we are having crazy covid cases and the rates compared to the rest of the country is crazy! So, just trying to stick it out a little longer and stay positive! I hope everyone is doing well. 

ONE 

I purchased everything in this post, except the things I won that I'm sharing

I was really hoping to go for a facial this Mother's Day for a relaxing day, but, of course with new restrictions, that is not going to happen at all! So, I planned ahead in case and ordered this lovely Super Mom Box by XO Treatment Room! Everything is made by the owner Annie, and she has fabulous formulas! This comes with everything you need for a relaxing spa night it: cleanser, microfibre cloth, super mask and brush applicator, nighttime facial oil, bath soak (or scrub), a candle and a do not disturb sign. So many goodies, all for $200!

Dyson AirWrap Styler - Volume + Shape Set

It's finally time for my long anticipated review of the Dyson Airwrap Styper! I have been looking forward to putting this review together for a few months now - I picked this up back in January, but this baby is pricey so I wanted to make sure that my review was thorough and I had lots of chances to try it out before coming to my final conclusions about it! 

Also, spoiler alert - if you saw my April Monthly Favourites, then you know this made it and I love it! 

Dyson AirWrap Styler - Volume + Shape Set
I purchased this all by myself (with the assistance of points)

I have to preface this review in that I did not pay full price for this set - it is sold at Shopper's Drug Mart Beauty Boutique and I saved up $500 worth of PC Optimum points (the maximum you can redeem at a time) and waited until they had a "Spend Your Points" event, so I got an extra $100 off, saving me $600 on this! It was my best purchase with points and even the lady at the till was pretty excited for me!

Manicure Monday - Pink Spring Dotted Floral Nail Art

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all have a great weekend! It was raining here all weekend, but that means flowers are going to start blooming and that is my favourite part about Spring!

And, with flowers starting to bloom, the CBBxManiMonday group thought May Flowers would be the perfect theme for the month, so you can expect florals from all of us for the whole month! Can't wait!

Monthly Beauty Haul - April 2021

I always love these haul posts - it's a way to keep track of everything that I picked up every 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! 

Last year, I got a little crazy about trying to stick to a crazy budget and this year I'm just going to buy what I want and try and be reasonable about my purchases! 

(Also, I'm only sharing what I received every month now since I'm not trying to stick to a crazy budget, so some things I ordered in April will show up in my May haul now if they don't show up on time, ect!)

I purchased everything in this post

April Lush Kitchen Subscription Box ~ $95.68 CAN. I love getting this fun subscription from Lush every month - you can check out my blog post here to see a little bit more about everything in this month's box! These are pricey with the exchange because of shipping from the UK, so how do we get Lush North America in the subscription business!
