The holidays can be a chaotic time where we often forget to take care of ourselves. There's parties, shopping, baking, gift giving and finishing up the year so we often let our little self care practices slide here and there. But when we practice self care, we feel our best. So how can we get everything done and take care of ourselves? Simplifying. You may not have time to use all of your lotions and scrubs and masks, but that's where the simple goodness of coconut oil comes in.

So I have put together a week of beauty favourites from the last year. I've gone through and selected my 2015 beauty favourites from all of my monthly favourites posts.

You never know when you'll need a quick refresh. A bit of perfume, some hand cream, touch of lip balm, that kind of thing. I'm not one for carrying around a makeup bag because it's just too much to deal with, and the most I'll touch up is my lipstick. But I definitely need my beauty essentials with me at all times.

For a lot of people, buying natural beauty products means going to Whole Foods or to a natural health store. Or maybe it's ordering a few products from one company's website. But have you ever been to a shop that's completely dedicated to natural beauty? It's a lovely experience. The curated selection is unique, and the owners chose to carry those products for a reason. The people behind the shops are always wonderful, they're dedicated and passionate about natural beauty and they know what they're talking about. In case you've never heard of any of these shops, I wanted to share them with you. They all have different niches that take place in digital and sometimes physical spaces.

When this Organic Flax Seed Cleansing Oil first came out, I knew I had to try it. At the time, I was using the oil cleansing method to take care of my skin, and I was hoping this would be like an oil cleanse in a bottle. Plus it's organic and the quality from 100% Pure is always top notch.

I recently treated myself to some beauty products at Whole Foods so I thought I'd do a proper haul for you. I wanted some essentials to get me through Winter, and a few makeup bits. I didn't find everything I was looking for, but I did get some extras that totally made up for it.

On Wednesday we chatted about my beauty favourites, so now I'm going to give you a little insight into my non beauty favourites this month.

I'm always curious about what's in people's beauty drawers, makeup bags, purses, ect. I like to know what people find useful, what they love, what they keep around at all times. It's weird, I know. But if you're a bit nosy like me, this post is for you. I've gathered all of my shower beauty bits and I'm going to give you a quick run down of everything.
