New Canadian beauty brand

A new brand has entered the Canadian beauty industry.

 

Being by Sanctuary Spa focuses on delicious smells to capture the interest of millennials and will be exclusive to Shoppers Drug Mart.

 

The beauty brand includes body lotions, fragrances and scrubs with scents ranging from hibiscus and coconut, salted caramel macadamia and cloudberry lychee. All their products are infused with shea and mango butter to produce smooth skin.

 

Being by Sanctuary Spa is not tested on animals. Check out your local Shoppers Drug Mart to see the product.

 

Bringing back the Palaeolithic days

There are many diet options out there. One that has become a prominent trend is the Paleo diet which is inspired from our hunter-gatherer ancestors.

 

The main goal for this diet is to rid people’s meals of processed food and focus on the consumption of nuts, seeds, oil and grass-fed meat. Common food products will include eggs, fruit and veggies.

 

This type of diet purportedly promotes weight loss and increases a person’s energy.
