Is anyone else totally overwhelmed by how early all the sales started this year? I usually put this list up on the Thursday, but I already feel like I'm way behind in posting it today! This year, I've just included what I think are the best of the best sales. My list is in no way all-inclusive, so if there's a store/brand you love that's not listed, they probably have a sale happening this weekend too! I'll also likely be adding a few more throughout the week/weekend as more sales pop up.
If you're shopping from Canada, be aware that Canada Post is still turning away international packages because of the postal strike. For that reason, I've included a 🍁 for stores/companies that ship from within Canada and a 📦 for ones that I know have other, non-mail shipping methods available.

Morrocco Method: 5 Elements Shampoo + Diamond Crystal Mist
12 November 2018
I've tried a lot of natural shampoos in my day, and
Morrocco Method may just be the most unconventional one yet. And, I love it.
Morrocco Method products are plant-based,
vegan, raw, paleo, non-GMO, soy- and gluten-free, and are handmade in the USA
in small batches from natural and wildcrafted ingredients.
The shampoo line was developed around the five elements: fire, earth,
air, water, and ether. Although each
individual shampoo has a recommended hair type, the company suggests rotating
between all five kinds for best results.
I was sent Morrocco Method's Travel Set of 5 Shampoos and I've been doing just that for the last few months.
The Five Elements:
Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo (Fire Element) – The
most clarifying of the five, for all hair and scalp types. Raw apple cider vinegar helps balance the pH
of the scalp, regulates oil production, and stimulates blood circulation to the
scalp.
Earth Essence Shampoo (Earth Element) – Intended
for normal to oily hair and scalp. Natural
clays remove excess oils from the hair and scalp.
Pine Shale Shampoo (Air Element) – For
normal to dry hair and scalp, dandruff, and scalp irritation. Restorative pine shale oil, approved in
Europe as an effective dandruff treatment, reduces inflammation, calms scalp irritation,
and helps with flakes, itchiness, and dryness.
(Note: MM’s pine shale oil is sourced from reservoirs beneath the earth’s
surface – extracted without fracking -- and is not the same thing as crude
shale oil.)
Sea Essence Shampoo (Water Element) – The
most moisturizing of the five, for normal to dry hair and scalp. Kelp, blue-green algae, and protein-rich spirulina
offer hydration, repair brittle strands, and promote hair growth.
Heavenly Essence Shampoo (Ether Element) – For
normal to damaged hair and scalp. Hemp
seed oil and prickly pear extract condition the hair and scalp, and help
restore shine and luster to dry or damaged hair.
Active + Affordable Serums from Mad Hippie
5 November 2018
The green beauty movement may have started as a somewhat grassroots community focused on basic, natural ingredients, but as popularity
and demand have grown, I’ve noticed a definite shift towards an amalgamation of those original green beauty tenants and more scientific approaches and ingredients. One thing I've been asked repeatedly is for product recommendation for affordable natural "active"
skincare and with the slogan, "More Actives. More Results." and a price point
that tops out at around $35 USD/$45 CAD, Mad Hippie Advanced Skin Care more than fits the bill. The
company’s dual focus on safety and efficacy means that products are made with
clean ingredients and are packed full of anti-aging actives that deliver proven results. Each product is formulated to contain several active
ingredients that complement one another and work together in synergy.
I’ve best testing out Mad
Hippie’s Vitamin C and Vitamin A Serums for the last few months and I’m finally ready to give my full take on these two
products: feel, performance, and results.
Keep reading for all the details!
The
Vitamin C Serum combines a skin-brightening blend of vitamin C, vitamin E, and
ferulic acid. There’s been a
considerable amount of research done on the compounding antioxidant effects of
these three ingredients and you may recognize the trio from certain well-known
mainstream products.
