Nevertheless, I got quite excited when Matrix sent over a few of their Style Link styling products. Promising a light, tousled look, the line provides several easy-to-use products that you can add to your summer hair routine.

Become A Skin Checker with La Roche-Posay

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored by La Roche-Posay but all opinions shared are my own.
Become A Skin Checker with La Roche-Posay
If you read my blog regularly, then you’d know that I invest a lot of time and effort in my skincare routine. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about my sun care habits. Because I live in Vancouver, the weather tends to be rainy and cloudy most of the year and as a result, I am often fooled into thinking that I don’t really need to wear any sunscreen. That of course, is a big misconception, as the sun’s UV rays can still penetrate clouds and unleash their damaging effects. Therefore, whether you live in a land of eternal sunshine or a city of rain and clouds, proper sun care is a must year-round. To help you become more sun-smart, La Roche-Posay is launching the third year of its Become A Skin Checker campaign. Started in 2015, Become A Skin Checker aims to encourage regular sunscreen usage, mole self-checks, and sun-safe practices. To learn all about the campaign and see how you can Become a Skin Checker, click……
