Hello Lovelies!!
On my journey to becoming a more conscious consumer, one of the areas I wanted to clean up my act in was cosmetics...another product I use on a regular basis.
I am a makeup junkie!! So now that I want to be more conscious of what I am purchasing and from whom, I looked into which make up companies are getting ranked as good, bad and downright ugly by organizations such as betterworldshopper.org and PETA.
Betterworldshopper.org looks at issues such as Human Rights, Environment, Animal Protection, Community Involvement and Social Justice; and ranks companies based on where they stand on these issues. Then they came up with report cards to inform consumers on how these companies fare on issues that affect us all.
So, that brings us to the ugliest of the ugly...The companies with a grade of F for FAIL!!!
Drum roll please....
MAX FACTOR OLAY and COVERGIRL

As a teenager, my favourite cosmetics were from Covergirl...I am sad that they have received a failing grade as they are so affordable for young ladies (I will be researching low-priced cosmetics companies and how they rank with betterworldshopper and PETA soon (you may find them on this list, but some new ones may not be listed).
There you have it!! I am hoping you found this informative enough to look further into the causes near and dear to your heart. Have a great weekend and see you next Saturday!!
Always your friend,
NJ 😘

HOT HOT HOT!!
Hello Lovelies!!!
How was your July long weekend? Whether you were celebrating Canada's Birthday or Independence Day in the US, I hope you had a good time!!
Kelowna was Hot!! Average temps hit around 34 degrees celsius!
Although it was so hot, we didn't get any beach time due to the flood they had in June. The city is still cleaning up the creeks and the lake and beaches, so there was no where to "camp out".
As promised, here is what I packed:
I took two bikinis, a cute wrap (to be worn with the bikinis), four tank tops, two pairs of shorts and a little sundress.
The bikinis I could mix and match with each other as well; two of the tank tops were packed for Canada's Birthday (July 1, for our American friends); a fancier tank top (cream) and a basic tank top (teal); a long (black)and shorter (navy) pair of shorts; and finally, a cute little sundress which was nice and cool.
I wore everything but the bikinis, due to the aforementioned flood. Besides that, I think it was a successful packing job.
Do you plan what you pack for a getaway? Or are you more spontaneous?
Have a great weekend and see you next Saturday!
Always your friend,
NJ 😘
