COLD WEATHER MUST HAVES...


Winter has finally come and is undoubtedly here to stay. The last week has been so unbelievably cold here in Ontario and there are no signs of it turning around any time soon. So, I wanted to share with all of you a few things I always have close by when the weather gets colder.

We all know that when the weather gets colder our skin and hair gets dryer. 

Here are a few of my cold weather must haves. Enjoy!


POND'S - Dry Skin Cream. 
A family secret. My grandmother swore by this face cream. My mother swore by this face cream. So of course, I swear by this face cream. Nothing moisturises my skin better on cold winter mornings. It truly hydrates my face better than any cream I have every used before. The cream is so gentle and almost fluffy; if you could imagine a fluffy face cream. It also smells like a dream; a clean, crisp scent. This is one of my all time favourite products and is very affordable! 


SOAP & GLORY - Hand Food. 
If you have read my blog before you know that I am a huge Soap & Glory fan. Their products are so much fun and most of all, WORK! So when I recently stumbled across there Hand Food hydrating hand cream, I had to get it. Not only does the winter months dry out my hands but also my job. So I am constantly looking for a moisturising hand cream that works. I love this cream; in days I noticed a significant difference in the look and softness of my hands. 


POND'S - Cleansing & Makeup Removing Towelettes.
As you know, I have always been a big fan of POND's face cream. So when I stumbled across these make-up removing towelettes... I was excited to say the least. I am constantly switching brands and products in regards to make-up removers because I find a lot dry out my skin. With POND'S this is not the case. These towelettes use vitamin E, chamomile and green tea. 


VASELINE - Lip Therapy 
There is nothing worse than dry lips during the winter months. One of my favourite lip products is by Vaseline. I feel like anything that Vaseline puts out there works miracles. I love this lip balm it is so soothing and prevents my lips from drying out. Also, the mini tub is so cute and can easily be thrown into your purse for on-the-go. 


JOICO - K-Pak Revitaluxe
After dying my hair brown and wanting to go back to blonde... My hair has been pretty dry lately and the weather does not help! I have long been a fan of most Joico products and when I find my hair going from pretty to very dry, I reach for this. This restorative treatment is one of my all time favourites. This product gives my dry, dull hair a complete hydration and restoration. Making my hair stronger, softer and a lot less dry. I highly recommend this treatment. 


AVON - Foot Works 
Dry, cracked heels can actually be pretty painful, especially during the winter months. Sometimes a good foot cream can be a girls best friend. Avon's healthy pumice cream works wonders on my sometimes overworked feet. Working in a factory part time I rely heavily on my foot cream. Not only for appearance sake, but also relief! This thick cream smooths and softens rough, dry skin and can also prevent callus build up. 


BATH&BODY WORKS -Triple Moisture Body Cream
I have never come across a Bath & Body product that I didn't like. Therefore, their triple moisture body cram in Twilight Woods is no exception. I love this scent, it has to be my all time favourite 
 by Bath & Body. Match this great scent with a thick and rich moisturising cream... It is to die for. 


BATH&BODY WORKS - Golden Sugar Scrub 
There is nothing like a good scrub to rid of all that dry winter skin. This product nourishes my skin and makes it so much softer. Especially when paired with the triple moisturising cream. Once again in Twilight Woods; I cannot get enough of it.


CUREL - Extreme Care Body Loition
I have blogged about other Curel products in the past and I can say I have never been disappointed. This is a great everyday, unscented cream. After a shower it is great to lather your body with this smooth, rich lotion. It works wonders on dry skin and honestly provides instant relief. 


NATURAL WORLD- Moroccan Argan Oil
Another great hair care product is this Moroccan argan oil by Natural World. This is a light weight hair treatment that does wonders for dried out hair. Not only does it nourish your hair but it also leaves it feeling incredibly soft and undeniably shinning.


BURT'S BEES - Natural Lip Balm.
Last but certainly not least. This is a product that I always find myself reaching for. It is an all natural lip balm that helps fight off dryness. Not only is it impeccable in renewing and revitalizing your lips but it also comes in different colours. This tinted lip balm adds some extra "pretty" when ever used. I love this product it is so easy and works as a great pick me up.
