Dr. Althea 345 Skin Repair Cream
Pretty good affordable option that compares to the Dieux Instant Angel
3pm Sunday naps with your dog
There are a few things that I can count on to fight the “Sunday scaries”, including a beach day with pals, a cheeky patio beverage with my partner, or a factory reset of my home to start the week feeling fresh. But nothing, and I mean nothing, beats the comfort of snuggling up with my dog for a late-afternoon siesta. It’s like a furry, extremely expensive, and stinky Xanax that I can take without making a trip to my non-existent GP.
Orebella Salted Muse
I didn’t want to love it as much as I do… but this scent transports me to a world where it’s always golden hour and the ocean surrounds me. There was a year of yearning between when I first smelled Salted Muse and when I was able to get my hands on it. I thought about it every single day. Picture ocean breeze - but not the fresh, light, kind. More like a deep, stormy, salty, woody bluster. It’s like if you took the seductive notes of Wood and the warmth of a Gourmand and mixed them with a crisp, invigorating concentrate. Layered with Saltair’s Sea Salt Vanilla body oil… now that’s a combo worthy of a glowing recommendation.
Caramelized Onion Chicken Salad by Jenna Denise
My absolute favourite way to meal prep is by prepping a bunch of chicken salad for the week. Munching on a scoop with some crackers, plopping a dollop on top of some greens, or making a traditional sandwich - the world is your oyster. This particular chicken salad takes the cake for being perfectly tangy from the Dijon, herby from the tarragon (and dill if you’re like me and need to add dill to all mayo-based salads), and the caramelized onions - while a labour of love - are well worth it for the depth they bring. 12/10 recommend adding this to your weekly meal prep rotation.
