You may remember them from my post about my favourite Montreal Etsy sellers or my YouTube video where I show off their pillows; they make super adorable, high-quality pillows as well as other goodies for the home. It goes without saying that I'm a big fan. I mean... they make animal pillows that make my home look like... well... my home.

Personalized Skincare (from Montreal!)

I'd dab my face with rubbing alcohol every morning and night and scrub my face until it hurt. In the summer, I'd lay in the sun until I felt faint - anything to clear up my skin. Yup, skincare meant a completely different thing to me then.
