Top 3 Winter Picks for Chapped Lips
I’m no beauty expert, but I am a girl with chapped lips. Inspired by the freezing Vancouver weather and being snowed-in at home, I decided to come up with my own list of products to help chapped lips in the winter. Unlike my Mac lipglass and Chanel lipgloss (great color choices, crappy moisturizer), the below are my personal top three picks and the first products I reach for when my lips go dry and bizerk in the winter weather.
1) Bigelow & Co Rose Salve $5.50
Packaged in a cute vintage/retro tin, the rose salve has the consistency of petroleum Jelly (ie. Vaseline) with a slight rose scent from its 0.9% rose extract. This product actually places #1 on the Bigelow Chemists top-sellers’ list….
Caprice Nightclub >> Winter Wonderland (Thurs. December 18)
I can’t believe I got postal mailed VIP invitations to Caprice’s Winter Wonderland clubbing event this coming Thursday, December 18th. I guess this didn’t really come as a surprise because they called me a few days ago asking for my mailing address. But how they got my phone number is another mystery. I don’t know if I’m going to go yet, but it’s definitely an option for this Thursday since I have three postcard invitations for me and a guest! What music should you be expecting? “DJ DARYLO spinning the best of top 40, and Hip Hop.” Anyway, just because they took the time, effort and postage to do that for me, I feel like I should reward their targeted marketing and put up their event flyer on Modern Mix Vancouver.

PLEN+Y – 20% off coats with donation (Oct. 22nd to 26th)
From October 22nd to 26th, receive 20% off any coat purchase at PLEN+Y when you bring in a gently worn coat (any brand) to be donated to the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre. My first formal coat was a hooded navy blue “Propaganda” (in house brand) from PLEN+Y with a mint-green lining. Although it wasn’t very warm, the style of it instantly classed up any outfit I was wearing (as long as it wasn’t with runners!) Since then, I’ve moved on to a thin trenchcoat from Banana Republic and a $400 wool coat from Wear Else…but I still wear my PLEN+Y coat for “in-between” weather. In other words, I’m not quite ready to give up my “gently worn coats”, but maybe you are – and now you have a good cause to support too!
