Win an Advent Calendar from The Body Shop

Who's ready to win an advent calendar from The Body Shop?

Goodbye, pumpkin spice.

Hello, holidays!

Who's with me?! It is by no means too early to embrace the season of giving. The year The Body Shop has released three magical advent calendars that are basically the perfect gift for anyone on your list who cares about their body. The theme of the calendars is Enchanted Forest and enchanted you will feel after you try out the selection of top Body Shop products!

P.S. you'll want to keep reading since I'm giving one away!



You guys know caring for the skin is so, so important to me, and so much important than makeup, but it can be an investment! And no one wants a wasted investment. That's why I love this advent calendar. First of all, who does not love to open a special treat every day, and one that you can use and take with you on the go! Yes, I'm looking at you Mr. Almond Hand Cream! You get to sample a selection of 24 goodies to see what you love, and then if it works for you, why not get the full size.

Winter can be rough on the skin. I'm talking dryness, flakiness, and redness. This calendar features The Body Shop favourites such as the Coconut Body Milk, the Almond Milk & Honey Body Butter, two Born Lippy Lip Balms, and soooo much more! They really curated the perfect pack of skincare essentials to soothe and hydrate your skin for the winter. Not to mention make you feel luxe. A bath bomb, some seasonal faves like the Peppermint Candy Cane shower gel, and even a sample Rose Plumping Mask to make your face glow.

The value of the set is pretty legit. This calendar retails for $69.00 and you get over $150.00 worth of goods. But really I wanted to share this with you guys because I need you to love and care for your skin. If I can help you do that then I'm winning. So how about you win? I'm giving away one of these bad boys to make your spirits bright and kick off the Holidays nice and early.

Check out The Body Shop's page to open advent with me on December 1st as they'll be featuring different bloggers every day on their page, and don't forget to enter right here!

14 Fun Finds Under $30

Have you ever found yourself totally consumed by online shopping? When you are stuck on a website for longer than you'd like to admit...filling your cart with all the beautiful things... only to hit the exit button and realized you just wasted 30 minutes of your time? Yeah. Happens ALL the time! Except for these goodies I came across on ASOS were too fun to pass on by. Did I mention they are all under $30?! Yes-- even those sneakers! Once again consumed by all things blush and pink, here is a little round-up of some random, yet incredibly fun accessories and items to stock your closet with.

The Perfect Stocking

I figured that since you can find a variety of gift guides on any blog, and since my previous guides (found here, here and here) still apply, this year I would give you a sneak peak into my favourite thing to gift- the stocking. I absolutely love putting them together and take so much pride is collecting the perfect items. This one below is not quite finished (I'm thinking a nail polish or two, hand cream, and maybe a lip chap, oh and some chocolate). The possibilities are endless. I also love this faux fur white stocking, and it's for my mom, as the one she has been using (since childhood) is falling apart and not conducive to larger stuffers. I managed to score some major deals at Indigo on Kate Spade notebooks, candles and these amazing gold mugs (may or may not have ordered a "G" mug, too!). Other stuffers include Lush bath bombs, fuzzy socks from Old Navy (40% off), David's Tea, writing accessories, and cotton candy marshmallows from Nadege Toronto. Seems like a pretty perfect stocking, no?

Holiday Gift Guide: For the Best Friend

Every year my girlfriends and I host a Holiday dinner party, and it has since turned into being my most favoured activity of the season. Instead of buying gifts for everyone, we do a ruthless form of Kris Kringle. Everyone draws a number and the person with number 1 opens a gift. The next person has the option to steal the previously opened gift or grab a new one, and the rest follow in that manner. We put into effect a (more or less) 40 dollar limit, but sometimes buying a gift that can suit anyone can be a bit difficult. We play this game for the fun factor and not to make anyone feel cheated, so I tend to abide by a certain gift guide every year to ensure everyone goes home happy. Below are some options I am considering for this year's gift.
