by Tazim Damji

Nivea Skin Care Tips

I am a member of the Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser. Pampering yourself doesn't have to be an all-day or weekend-getaway type of affair. I know how difficult it can be to take time out of your busy day to focus on YOU sometimes. It seems like there are always people and obligations that pull us in many different directions at the same time. You've likely heard how ...

Spring Self-Care Treats from LUSH

by Tazim Damji

Spring LUSH Cosmetics

Since April is Earth Month, I thought I would share some of the Earth-friendly things about all things LUSH cosmetics. Packing (or lack-thereof) is one thing that likely comes to mind when you think about ways that LUSH is environmentally conscious. It's true that LUSH prefers to focus on what's inside the their products rather than what's on the outside: "Creating Naked and packaging-free products at LUSH is at the core of our philosophy. We use as little packaging in our LUSH shops as ...

A LUSH Love Story

by Tazim Damji

Lush Love

You could call this a LUSH love story of sorts, for I have long been admiring the goods from this cruelty-free brand of beauty products. As I recall, I first saw, or rather smelled, LUSH products when I went to London in 1998. My cousins and I popped in to a LUSH store, and I saw huge chunks of handmade soap that looked like cheese. That was it. . .love at first site, if you will. The smells, the colours. . .it was an experience unlike any other. I don't recall what kinds of LUSH goodies I ...

Love Thyself – New Year, New You with Way Spa

by Tazim Damji

way spa

I celebrated the beginning of the New Year on a date that made more sense to me than January 1st. This year, I got a bit of a late start, since I was out of town for most of January. Instead of getting down about the fact that 2014 didn't start with a bang! I decided to use Chinese New Year as the date to really soar this year. I celebrated by treating myself to a much-needed massage. With all the craziness of December and visiting family in January behind me, a massage was the perfect way to ...

How do you Take Time for Yourself? #SelfCare with Moroccanoil

by Tazim Damji

moroccan oil body buff

I am having some #selfcare time thanks to Moroccanoil body products. It's been a long summer for everyone, and though it's officially still summer for a while longer, with everyone going back to school, it feels like fall is already here. As the temperature outside gets cooler, extra moisture and exfoliation become necessary. It's also a great time to unwind and prepare for what's to come in fall. Before everyone gets busy with all the great new business ideas they have planned, projects ...

New Skincare Adventures with SeabuckWonders

by Tazim Damji

sea buckthorn

I'm not usually very adventurous when it comes to skincare, but I'm glad I had the chance to try out the SeabuckWonders line of skincare products. I have sensitive skin so don't use anything that's got a lot of scent or too many ingredients that I can't pronounce, and as an additional requirement, I don't use anything that isn't vegan (not made of animal by-products). I received the Natural Skin Care Program, which includes body lotion, facial cleanser, deep hydrating serum and  facial ...
