Who needs more stuff in their bathroom cabinet? We all do of course. In the past year, I have come across a few more things that I simply can not live without and are part of my daily routine.
I battle with adult acne and for those bad days I use Mario Badescu’s “Drying Lotion”. Just dab this blend of Calamine and Salicylic Acid to clear up and soothe unsightly whiteheads and pimples overnight. I swear the pimple reduces in size about half and in less than 48 hours, you are back to normal again - life saver. $23, www.beautymark.ca
As a huge fan of “Trueblood” I had to get myself the limited addition Tarte LipSurgence. It’s mint-infused and is the perfect iridescent shade of red to give yourself the pouty red … more …
Ready, Set, GO! I would like to share some of my ideas for those of you that are still scrambling and looking for some last minute holiday gifts. Just some random stuff I’ve grown to become very fond of and I hope it gets under one of your trees.
I want to cuddle up by the fireplace in this cashmere sweater by Valentine K. I’m diggin’ the leather elbow patches. Did I mention it’s also a Canadian based brand? Stellar! Retails ranging from $305 - $325.
Available in Russian Gold and Silver, Alex and Ani’s expandable bracelets are personable and can be worn with anything. A sure fire hit this holiday season and only $21. It’s the perfect stocking stuffer or secret Santa gift.

As much as we all look forward to some holiday cheer, it always becomes a very stressful and busy time. You’re sprinting from shop to grocery store, running from one family dinner to the next soiree with friends…tired and sore feet are a given. My gift to you this holiday season (and I think it’s the best gift of all), my friends at Sole Spa are offering all PARTLYSUNNY fans 25% off services.
Located at 3086 Cambie Street, Sole Spa offers traditional reflexology services in a contemporary and zen atmosphere. You can enjoy your session in the open space or if you’d like something more intimate and private, they do have some private rooms in the back with televisions. Reflexology is better than your “regular” foot massage. Like acupuncture, when you apply pressure … more …
Yes! It’s finally summer, which means you need to go out and properly stock up on some new beauty products for fun in the sun.
Spending time in the sun can be damaging to your hair so you have to make sure you condition it frequently. I like Phytocitrus’s Restructuring Hair Mask. This rich treatment delivers a blend of citrus fruits and proteins that effectively restructure the hair fiber, and boost radiance. When used daily, it keeps your hair color bright, vibrant, and illuminated with shine.

I don’t like to wear a lot of make up in the summer and that is why I love Cargo’s Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20. Cargo’s new Tinted Moisturizer is a potent mix of anti-aging busters - vitamins A, C, E and … more …
It’s a done deal, the military trend is back I am definitely in love with the military inspired looks Chanel has translated for our finger nails. For Vogue’s Fashion Night Out, Chanel created a limited edition nail polish collection, “Les Khakis de Chanel.” This collection consists of three trendy shades: Khaki Vert, Khaki Rose and Khaki Brun. The trio is a flattering group of neutrals that can be worn alone or if you are daring enough, you can actually mix them up so it replicates the “camouflage” look. I feel very strong about this color trend and rest assure you’ll see these colors in both apparel and footwear for Spring/Summer 2011 as well as flowing into F/W 2011.
The limited edition polishes are $30 and are available at the Chanel boutique and … more …
