beautylicious body products

Enjoy the fabulousness of  Mooka, a four-month-old boutique in Montreal, and if you’re nowhere near Montreal, order their goodies online.

Their mission? To create “skin-loving, delicious-smelling and environmentally friendly soaps, balms, butters, scrubs and salts (and anything else you’d want to slather on or throw in the tub) at affordable prices.”

And they do just that, serving up the most scrumptious body care products, and I really do mean scrumptious: I had a brown paper bag with their Oats, Milk & Honey Soap, Brown Sugar Whipped Shea Body Butter, and Chocolate Lip Butter sitting by my computer, and the smell was so delicious it made me positively hungry!

The formulations are mainly vegetable-based (the few animal-based ingredients like honey, beeswax and milk are clearly listed) and boast skin-safe essential fragrance oils, so these made-by-hand products will have you doing a happy nature dance and smelling awfully good to boot. Life is short, so treat yourself well!

Price: from $5

good for you bath products

After hiring an environmentally friendly cleaning service during a really busy period, I realized, if I’m having environmentally friendly products used on my apartment, what about on me??

So I set out to find more eco-friendly bath products, and Yes To Carrot items caught my eye with their paraben-free* formulations.

My faves? The C How To Shower Carrot Rich Shower Gel, C Through the Dry Spell Deliciously Rich Body Butter, and C Is for Hair Care Hair and Scalp Moisturizing Mud Mask – perfect for colour-treated hair.

Available at: Shopper’s Drug Mart

Price: $9 to $14
