From the moment I started blogging I’ve come across beautiful and inspirational people that I love and adore. I’ve mentioned many in my blog posts before and this month on my blog I would like to share more lovely artists and feature them. You can see many of these lovely inspirational people all around me all the time because they are the ones that leave the positive comments and share my posts and interact with me. I’m truly blessed. This emotional and heartfelt blog post is because of all of you! From all the loving and beautiful support you’ve given me. Thank you! A huge thank you to Cat and Belinda. It means so much to me and I appreciate it so much.

I wanted to thank you all for the comments you left me on the video for the Fashion Magazine Beauty Vlogger Video. Have you seen all the comments in my video? I didn’t win by the way but I WON in a HUGE and different way! MY GOD! All of you made me win inside my heart by the warmth of your comments! Seriously! It’s a true blessing to have you all by my side. I appreciate you all! Thank you so much! By the way thank you to CAT for showing me how to add IG photos in the blog posts! 🙂 woo hoo!

When I was talking to Cat I mentioned how I want to create connections this year and work together with more artists. Collaborate and Integrate!

I really enjoy working with others!

So Belinda mentioned TRIBES in her newsletter and right away I remembered teachers College and fell in love with the idea all over again. A community where people help people and learn from each other. A place where we can be our true selves and inspire each other. Reminds me a lot of the Canadian Beauty Bloggers. I’m grateful for being a part of the CBB because I’ve gotten to know a lot of strong women in the group that truly inspire me. So thank you to the CBB team for being there for me. This is starting to feel like a huge THANK YOU blog post! Why not! I’m totally GRATEFUL and High on LIFE!!  WOO HOO!

THANK YOU TO THE CBB for REPOSTING MY PICTURE! 🙂

SHARE SOME LOVE AND GO DOUBLE TAP ! 🙂

Sometimes it can be hard to be a blogger and influenster. I’m being honest here. Sometimes I need a little push to move forward. Well lately connecting with bloggers has been that wonderful push forward. I feel so strong and more confident when I work with other lovely bloggers. I love interaction and communication. Working together is so important. That being said I wanted to let you know that starting  now until further notice I’m going to pin a tweet on twitter and feature a lovely YouTuber, Vlogger, blogger or artist for each month because I feel we should help each other grow.

Sometimes I feel that people don’t do this enough. It’s so important to help each other, promote each other and grow together. Sometimes I feel that people lead a self centred life.  Life is so much more beautiful when it’s done together. It is more creative, fun and there’s a give and take of positivity and good energy. More can be accomplished and achieved together and it’s so fulfilling!

I feel very happy and grateful to have a lovely group of people around me that encourage me. You can see all of them in comments that are on my blog posts and videos. All of YOU who leave positive messages is what fuels me to write more, take more photos and explore more with my writing and blog. There are also friends behind the scenes that chat with me and really help me out.

Positive energy and positive vibes!

Thank you!

Like I mentioned in my post New Exciting Additions! Cat is a huge motivator and she seriously needs to become a motivational speaker or write a book or something because she is a GIVER! She is very special. There are GIVERS in this world and there are TAKERS and CAT is a really amazing giver! She has helped me and pushed me to take risks and move forward.   Cat, THANK YOU for helping me along. Seriously HUGE THANK YOU!

I believe in what ever you put out in the Universe it will come back to you and it will ripple and grow big. This I believe a lot. Positive vibes and thoughts create positive things in life.  I would like to say a huge thank you to Cat and Belinda and a huge thank you to all of you for being by my side. I don’t care if I sound too cheesy or emotional. I LOVE being who I am and I’m not afraid to show it. *thank you Cat for helping me.

FREEDOM! OH YA!

It’s okay not to be “perfect”

It’s okay to be crazy and let my really funny side show.

It’s okay to be who I am and love my self just the way I am.

Thank you all!

I LOVE YA!

WOO HOO!

Follow your heart and when you do, a smile will form on your face without you knowing.

-Maria Medeiros 🙂

Pearl & Daisy Natural Soap Company – Review

 

bestdayblogger blog header

This is in Collaboration with the Canadian Beauty Bloggers

cbb-logo-white

The original Pearl and Daisy were two sisters who grew up in a small Nova Scotia village a hundred years ago, when soap was made by hand. That’s the way we do it today, using all-natural ingredients that nourish the skin and delight the senses.

So happy and joyous to bring you beautiful products from Pearl & Daisy Soap Company. The company was created in Nova Scotia and inspired by nature. I’ve written an article about their products in February and I’m so pleased and enthusiastic to write yet another article about them. I feel elated about all the products and If you like to have a read at my previous article please do so. Pearl & Daisy Natural Soap Company – Review

I kindly received the following skincare products:

*Soothing facial mask (Lemon Balm, Honey and Plantain)

*Veranda – Lemon verbena & thyme (SQUARE BAR SOAP)

*Bath Fizzer ( Lavender)

*Body Balm Highland (Lavender)

*Orange Beep Lip Balm

4309

Each product is unique and beautiful and focuses on hydration and care for the skin in the most natural and nourishing way. Let me show you each one and I’ll discuss the ingredients and benefits of each. I will also include my review for each product as well.

*Soothing facial mask (Lemon Balm, Honey and Plantain)

About the product

These 100% natural facial masks blend hand-picked botanicals, with benefits of traditional plant lore backed by science. In a small bowl, mix 1 Tbsp with just enough water to make a smooth paste. Apply evenly over skin and relax while the mask dries. Rinse with water, gently towel dry, and finish with Floral Water Skin Tonic.

Ingredients: finely ground Canadian oats, kaolin clay, lemon balm leaf, honey, plantain leaf, neem leaf, marshmallow root.

80g (enough for about 16 facial treatments) –pearlanddaisy.com

The Soothing lemon balm, honey and plantain face mask is so gentle and leaves the skin feeling really clean and soft. It was easy to mix and use and very simple to apply. As I sat in a hot bath with the lavender bath fizzer, I really loved having the face mask on. Very soothing and relaxing. The formula doesn’t have a strong scent and it is very gentle. I love how natural this product is and it truly works. I really recommend this mask. If you’ve never tried a mask before you should start with this one because it is natural and gentle on the skin. If you love masks and use them often you will love the *Soothing facial mask (Lemon Balm, Honey and Plantain).


 

*Veranda – Lemon verbena & thyme (SQUARE BAR SOAP)

A tribute to summer afternoons spent lingering in the shade of painted porches, the Veranda collection blends the joyful summer scent of lemon verbena with essential oil distilled from the hand-picked leaves and flowers of sweet white thyme.

Ingredients:  sodium olivate, sodium cocoate, sodium palmate, litsea cubeba essential oil, thymus vulgaris essential oil, lippia citriodora (lemon verbena) leaf.

Ah! Summer incapsulated in a soap bar! This smells like lemon fields and sunshine! I adore this soap and it is so invigorating and refreshing. It really heightens and soothes the senses. The formula of the soap is fantastic and gentle. The natural ingredients really make the skin soft and very clean. There’s no residue and the only thing left after using this bar is a great scented and nourished skin. I highly recommend Pearl & Daisy soap bars. They are amazing and work so beautifully. Especially the *Veranda – Lemon verbena & thyme (SQUARE BAR SOAP)


*Bath Fizzer  ( Lavender)

Did you read my first review of the Orange Bath bomb from Pearl & Daisy? In my first review I express a huge excitement and enthusiasm for these bath bombs because to be honest they are the best ones that I’ve ever used. The previous bath bomb felt like I was bathing in pool of creamsicle heaven! Truly scrumptious! The Lavender bath bomb was like floating in a field of lavender and sleeping quietly and soothingly in la-la land.

Our 100% natural bath bombs are beautifully scented and made with moisturizing coconut oil. They’re about the size of a tennis ball (2.5″) and weight about 150g.

Ingredients: baking soda, citric acid, organic coconut oil, sunflower seed oil, organic aroma and essential oils.

Pearl & Daisy makes bath bombs the way we do everything else: we use lovely natural scents, naturally soft colours, and exceptionally nice ingredients.

I highly recommend these bath bombs. If you’re not a bath person these will turn you into a bath lover. Seriously relaxing and soothing. So calming and they will take all your stress away!


*Body Balm Highland (Lavender)

I’ve never used a body balm like this before! At first I thought it was a deodorant. When I read ‘body balm’ and ‘lavender’ I got all excited because the application process is so unique and I love it!  No need to get my hands dirty! I used this right out of the shower and I’m absolutely in love with this body balm. Obsessed! It is very hydrating and nourishing for the skin. The lavender scent really helps with sleep too. It is so soothing, creamy and soft. Glides on like silk on the skin and is so comforting and beautiful. It’s not greasy and smells divine!

This solid lotion body balm is the ultimate intensive moisture therapy. Use it to give special attention to dry skin, rough heels, and elbows. And because it melts on contact, it makes a glorious full body massage bar, too! –pearlanddaisy.com


*Orange Beep Lip Balm

You know those chocolate oranges you get during Christmas time? The ones you give a good smack and they break into orange chocolate slices? This orange Beep Lip Balm smells exactly like it! Orange heaven! This is an amazing and soothing lip balm that really hydrates my lips and feels really soft and smooth. It smells delicious and I really love it. very moisturizing and hydrating. No more cracked lips!

4338

100% natural lip balm made with apricot kernel oil, beeswax, and natural cocoa butter. A touch of castor oil for shine and rosehip seed oil to condition lips. Available in six favourite east coast flavours, including Orange Beep, named after a favourite citrus punch.

Ingredients: prunus armeniaca (apricot) kernel oil, theobroma cacao (cocoa) seed butter*, beeswax, ricinus communis (castor) seed oil, rosa mosqueta (rosehip) fruit oil*, aroma*.   *organic  4.25g –Pearlanddaisy.com

Overall I’m really satisfied with every product mentioned in this post. I love how Pearl & Daisy make products that truly nourish and care for the skin. It makes me feel good to use products that are good and healthy for my skin. I also love how the products make me feel. They relax me and also clean the skin really well. I love the lovely ingredients and the packaging as well. Overall I’m happy and my skin feels wonderful. I also feel wonderful because the products have helped with my stress and the lavender has helped me sleep better. Very soothing to the soul.

Thank you to the Canadian Beauty Bloggers and to Pearl & Daisy for this amazing opportunity!
