IT'S FALL! And by that I mean... technically it's still summer and we're having a little bit of a summer weather resurge at the moment, but I've fully transitioned into fall brain. The cozy sweaters and boots are on standby, but the saturated makeup shades and the spicy hot beverages have come out full force. Also, because the weather is in the all-over-the-place zone, I'm also starting to transition into my fall beauty routine, with more of a focus on keeping my skin and hair moisturized and happy as the weather gets colder and it gets a little more finicky. To help make the transition a little bit easier, I'm super excited to host this giveaway for a Live Clean Cleansing Moisture Prize Pack* featuring hand soaps and body washes to keep your skin happy and hydrated this fall!

Hey guys! Is anyone surprised that I'm SUPER excited to share the new hair care release from Live Clean with you guys? As you guys know, Live Clean is an absolute staple in my house - and I've definitely converted some friends and family as well - and I'm always down to try out their new products. On it's face, the new Live Clean Super Fruit Waters Quenching Curls Shampoo & Conditioner* probably aren't necessarily intended for my hair type - since, you know, my hair is straight and limp and doesn't even have a natural wave to it - but I was curious to try it out anyway.

So, of course, when I received the Live Clean Foaming Body Washes* in the mail, I couldn't wait to try them out.

Any regular readers of this blog know that sun protection is really important to me and one of the issues that I push pretty strongly - both here on the blog and in my real life with my friends and family. There is no question (regardless of the internet trying to create some) that the sun can be dangerous and that we need to protect ourselves from it, not just for beauty purposes but for health. A year ago today I did a super post that is filled with information about the different types of sunscreen, why it's important and the myths about it. If you're interested in reading that, you can check it out here. For the first day of summer this year, I wanted to focus on sun protection again with Live Clean, one of my forever go to brands, and I've got a sweet little GIVEAWAY for you guys as well!

I've always really enjoyed Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula products, so when I had the opportunity to try out some body and skin care products from Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula*, I was really excited to get my hands on them. Coconut is one of my favorite scents for body care during the summer months because it will forever make me think of being at the lake - particularly of a leave in conditioner that I used to use obsessively back in my early 20s after the beach - but it has to be done right. Anyone who loves coconut scents has to know what I mean, right?

Hey guys! I'm super excited to be celebrating Earth Day with Live Clean once again this year with a giveaway for you guys. As you guys know if you read this blog consistently, Live Clean is one of my absolute favorite environmentally friendly brands and a staple in my every day life. The thing that I personally love about Live Clean is that I can feel confident that when I rinse my shampoo or body wash down the drain that I'm not sending earth-harming ingredients out into the world. They skip the SLS, the DEA and the phosphates, are cruelty free and vegan, and you don't have to miss out on great formulas. What could be better?

When I sat down to put together my November Favorites, I found that I was really struggling to actually choose a selection of favorites from last month. In fact, I almost just skipped Favorites all together. But then I decided that I might as well just make a post of Current Favorites that features all of the stuff I'm currently obsessed with. I didn't keep this just to beauty and I'll admit that it's a little bit makeup light at the moment, but I'm pretty in love with everything in this post. Let me know if you enjoy this type of post and maybe I'll replace monthly favorites with a current favorites!

When it comes to drugstore priced holiday gift sets, I really think Hard Candy has always stood out as being interesting and different. I remember seeing their first advent calendars years ago, before everyone and their dog were doing an advent calendar, and I just thought it was brilliant. This year, however, the selection of holidays sets from the brand seems absolutely massive and ranges from $1.47 up to $19.97 with options at seemingly every point in between making for some great options for stocking stuffers and, specifically, gifts for teens. I was sent a few things to feature here, but I also bought a few of the sets myself because I was really curious about them and wanted to feature them in this post as well. 

To see some of the sets that Hard Candy has on offer this year and to enter to win a few of them for yourself, keep reading!

If you guys follow me on Instagram, you'll know that I've been getting pretty into nail art recently. It's been a while since I've really done nail art, so I've been really excited to try all of the new and exciting tools and tricks to create different nail art looks. I've been especially excited about Halloween nail art, so I was super excited when Nail Polish Canada contacted me about trying out the Whats Up Nails Graveyard Nail Vinyls* - and giving 10 of my readers an opportunity to try them out for free.

Hey guys! For my last day of Earth Week here on the blog, I wanted to focus on one of my favorite and most used enviromentally friendly brands: Live Clean! When it comes particularly to products that I'm going to be rinsing off and washing down the drain, it's always been really important to me that I be mindful of what I'm putting out into the environment, so Live Clean has become a brand that I reach for constantly when it comes to those types of products. I've definitely got some favorites from the brand and I wanted to share them with you guys along with a GIVEAWAY!

You guys know that I'm a huge fan of Live Clean products - I've mentioned a lot of them on this blog - but I hadn't actually gotten a chance to try out any of their skin care until recently. It had always been on the list, but I'd just never gotten around to it. Recently, I've finally had the chance to try out a few of the products from the Live Clean Fresh Face Skin Care* line and not only do I have a review for you guys, but I have a giveaway so that you can also have the chance to try out some Live Clean Skin Care!

I've mentioned several times here on the blog when I've mentioned Live Clean products, which I absolutely love, that my favorite hair products from them are from the Argan Oil line. Because I have damaged hair, I need to go hard with the moisture and I find that the Live Clean Exotic Nectar Argan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner* are the best for dealing with my hair personally. Honestly, though, I'm so impressed with all of the Live Clean shampoos and conditioners that I've had the chance to try that I would say that there's really something for everyone from this brand! One of my favorite things about Live Clean is that their products are predominantly plant based and eco-friendly. For me, particularly when things are being washed down the drain when I use them, I want them to be kind of the environment!

As such a huge fan of Live Clean, I'm really excited to host this giveaway of 5 products from the Exotic Nectar Argan Oil line, including the new 750ml extra large sizes of the shampoo and conditioner! Keep reading for my thoughts on each of these products and to enter to win the prize pack!
