So what were my resolutions for this year?

I want to support companies who care about the environment, on a social or ecological level.

To start off, I will always look for organic products, but that's just a starting point.

There is so much more involved in the products that we buy and how they are made.

Looking for labels that are also non-GMO is also important to me.

I like supporting Canadian companies as well. Products being fair trade

and biodegradable/easily recyclable is also important! Check the number in

that rotating triangular symbol. It should be a #1 or #2, for it to be easily recyclable.

I know plastic packaging is an issue and I will work on reducing!
Unfortunately 3 of the items I chose cannot be recycled :(

I've chosen very practical items! There will be some items that I didn't

really need, but have been wanting to try out *ahem, skincare*.

🍁 Canadian Product

♡ Skincare ♡

1. Andalou Naturals Soothing Face Mask
I've been wanting to try something from their '1000 roses' skincare line.
But this will be a gift for someone instead :) I don't like the packaging though.

2. Divine Essence Organic Sweet Almond Oil 🍁
I thought this would come in a spray bottle, but it came with a pipette.
I wanted to try using this as a body moisturizer, only on specific areas... specifically my legs.
They have been very dry, due to my lack of moisturizing. It's been so dry that tiny spots
have been cracking and bleeding... :( Nothing major, but you can definitely see it.

3. LaVigne Organics Mayan Magic Balm 🍁
Apparently this balm is great for people with eczema, so it must be a fairly
good healing/moisturizing balm. It also has a nice natural scent, even though
they say it's unscented... I mean, any natural product will have a scent :p

♡ Personal Hygiene ♡

4. Green Beaver Frosty Mint Toothpaste 🍁
A more affordable natural toothpaste on the market, while also being biodegradable.
It has a light texture, which others may not like, but I'm happy with this toothpaste :)

5. Dr. Brite Whitening Mineral Toothpaste
I love this toothpaste! It's expensive, so I normally would not buy this.
It has a mousse-like texture and the flavour reminds me of spearmint gum.
The consistency is not too thin or thick. It feels great in the mouth :p

6. Organ(y)c Sanitary Pads
This is a brand from Italy! They make biodegradable and organic cotton pads :)
Why organic cotton!? We come in contact with cotton everyday and it's one of the
most chemically treated plant in the world. Some of the chemicals are extremely toxic,
therefore not only affecting the water, environment, but also the people who work on a cotton farm.

7. Organ(y)c Organic Cotton Pads
For the same reasons above :) and I have a habit of using cotton pads for my face,
when applying facial toner. This is not a necessity.

♡ Food ♡

8. Bob's Red Mill Organic Quick Cooking Steel Cut Oats
I need to eat too! This will be my breakfast for the next month :p
I like my oatmeal with 1 tbsp of any nut butter, little bit of honey, banana slices
and a dash of cocoa/coconut hemp seeds! yum.

9. Central Roast Organic Raw Cashews 🍁
I love raw cashews! It's one of my favourite nuts.
I also like almonds and pistachios :)
Unfortunately, I do not like the plastic packaging :(

10. Yellow Superfood Organic Nutritional Yeast 🍁
If you've never tried nutritional yeast, then you are missing out!
It honestly reminds me of fish food flakes though.
If you are a vegan, this is a great source of vitamin B12 :)
It has a super mild nutty taste, but becomes creamy and subtly cheesy when cooked.
I love adding this to my pasta and on top of my omelette.

Thank you for reading! and Thank you Well.ca for choosing me!

Crest vs. Colgate toothpaste

I've been using the Crest Pro-Health Sensitive Shield toothpaste recently because we finished the Colgate Max Fresh. I must say, it is one of the worst toothpastes ever >< it doesn't foam much... at all and it leaves your mouth kind of dry. It doesn't taste very pleasant as well >< it's a light green paste with very tiny mint beads... looks very smooth... and well it is because the first time I squeezed it out of the tube, it kind of slid off my toothbrush lol

You can smell the mint but it kind of disappears while brushing, which isn't very effective ><

Yes I know this was a random post but I just had to let you guys know how bad it is -.-

I would definitely recommend the Colgate Max Fresh line though, very nice and looks pretty =]
