Shopping | Valentine’s Day Gifts Day Four
Less than 48 hours until Valentine’s Day! Here are some beautiful last minute ideas for the princesses in your life. They are thoughtful yet quite useful gifts that one would use on a daily basis. Oh, and they smell pretty lovely too.
Ojon is a brand that I have fell madly in love with recently. This company carries a range of hair products containing the natural Ojon® oil harvested in Central America. This weighless and alcohol-free spray contains palm nut oil, keeping my hair mositurized during sub zero temperature in the most romantic month of the year. I’m sure your Valentine would appreciate the lovely yet subtle incent smell too.
I am a detail oriented person, and I always make sure that I have clean, manicured hands. Philosophy’s Grace hand cream has the perfect texture, not too thick nor too moist (check out their Amazing Grace perfume too! Words cannot describe how delicate, gentle and clean this scent is).
A smart girl never forgoes sunblock, even in winter months (the UV rays can be just as strong as in the summer months, if not more!) Shiseido’s Extra Smooth Sun Protection Lotion has an SPF 38 PA++ content, a higher SPF 60 is also available. Most sunblocks with a high SPF content tend to have a rather thick texture, Shiseido is surprisingly sheer and the consistency in the lotion makes application very easily.

Shopping | Valentine’s Day Gifts Day Three
Valentine’s Day, ah, the most romantic day of the year. Whether you regard February 14th as a Hallmark Holiday or melt at the sight of chocolate hearts, Valentine’s Day is about appreciating and loving yourself, including your true beauty. Here are a few items that I love.
Mereadesso is a great Canadian company with a single two step system that works wonders. And for the entire month of February, purchase one face toning gel and cleanser, the lovely ladies at Mereadesso will send you their beautiful body balm for free. The body balm makes your skin so silky and smell like a batch of organic pink grapefruits. Mereadesso products are also available at Pink Tartan at 77 Yorkville Ave. in Toronto.
Myfaceworks developed a series of wonderful sheet masks that target different skin problems. Your skin transforms into radiation in just 15 minutes.
With notes like ruby red grapefruit, raspberry, pear, plum, lychee, cedarwood, Marc Jacobs’ new Daisy Eau So Fresh is a fun and playful version of the original Daisy scent. I love the concept of this crisp scent, sophisticated yet not serious, precisely capturing the essence of the Marc Jacobs woman: bold, elegant, sweet and original. This perfume is available at Holt Renfrew in February, and elsewhere in March.

Why is it that men believe that carrying around a bag is inappropriate? Hate to break it to you boys, it’s become highly acceptable and completely necessary, what with you needing to carry your ever-expanding daily necessities. So drop you’re pride and be happy when your significant other buys you this versatile Nella Bella tote.

Fashion and function at the highly reasonable price of $80. Nella Bella is available at Capezio stores and fine boutiques across Toronto and Ontario or at Nella Bella online. Funny, we carried Nella Bella at Casual Affairs Clothing one season, maybe we should again?
