The world’s first bottle that grows a tree
| October 19, 2012 | Posted by under Green Living, Health & Beauty |
I was at a salon today getting my hair done. It’s a new eco vegan organic hair salon. I had a coupon for it so I decided to pay them a visit. Although this was certainly not a $15 haircut, it was worth every penny. While there, my hairstylist introduced me to a new product…
Divalicious Sample Box Review
| June 1, 2012 | Posted by under Health & Beauty |
I just received my Divalicious Sample Box. Unlike other beauty boxes, this one comes out only a few times a year. Most of the products are handmade and come from small businesses. Most true Fashionistas could be disappointed with this box, but I loved the fact that most of the items in there were natural…

1. Eco Schick Razors – These are made from recycled hangers! I didn’t think I’d be able to give up my Venus Razor for these, but I was impressed. The aloe & vitamin E strip really does really soften the skin, so when I am too lazy to put on shaving cream or soap I…

Right now, I am finishing up my make up wipes from the dollar store (Merida). A package of 25 costs me $1.25 therefore each wipe costs $0.05. Compared to other make up wipe prices, this is a very good deal. Since I can be a bit competitive with this frugal stuff at times, I was…

Frugal Vanity: The $15 Haircut
| March 31, 2012 | Posted by under Health & Beauty |
I realized the other day that I need a haircut, badly. Mostly just a trim. I normally go to the hair school but it takes awhile for the students to do it. Generally, I like chatting with them and I don’t mind if it takes an hour to get a trim. Lately, I don’t have…

| March 25, 2012 | Posted by under Health & Beauty |
I purchase these Merida Make up Wipes from the Dollarama here in Canada. They cost $1.25 for 25 wipes. This works out to be $0.05 per wipe. They work very well, have no parabens or alcohol and are dermatologist tested. They are also really soft! Out of curiosity, I headed over to the drugstore to…

Throughout my frugal journey, I have picked up tons of great frugal habits. Some I have left behind and some I’ve had for years. Many of them I do not have use for anymore and do not fit into my lifestyle. Here are frugal habits I got rid of and why: 1. Coupon Clipping: I…

Last fall I spoke about my LuxeBox, then GlymmBox and just recently I found out about 2 more luxury sample beauty boxes available to Canadians! I also found a US one which is all eco-friendly and now ships to international customers!! Honestly, I had no idea this kind of beauty marketing would become so popular…
