I've been using these Boo Bamboo 'skin balancing' make-up remover wipes for a few weeks now and I've found them to be a really good buy.
Boo Bamboo appears to have started off as a hair-care centered company, as that's all they really talk about in their 'about' section. But I did a little bit of digging and it seems they are another Canadian company focused on organic, all-natural, and cruelty free beauty products!
The make-up removal wipes in particular are also a good find: biodegradable, unbleached, and free of all sorts of bad things like parabens, sulphate, and DEA. In terms of their effectiveness, I find them useful. I can see on the wipe itself that it clears off my makeup quite effectively. Mind you: I don't wear a lot of makeup. A dab of concealer here and there, a little care to my eyebrows, and some mascara are usually the extent of my routine. I use these wipes as more of an end-of-day cleanser to clean up whatever guck I might have gotten over the course of the day. Also, they do not do a good job of tackling my waterproof mascara. In fact I don't think they remove any of it. And my eyes water a lot from wind and things so I really do need waterproof mascara most days. However, my skin is doing great and I believe having these in my routine is a helpful step in the process!
I may or may not purchase these again - only because I'd love to find a wipe that removes my mascara, seeing as that's the only real makeup I wear, and it's really hard on the eyes to not remove it entirely.
What face wipes do you use? Do you have something effective for removing tough waterproof mascara?

options for body products.)

It's Finally Here! (Grad Show!)
Hi friends!
Just popping in to share what I've been up to this week as there was radio silence on the blog (oops!). I've been setting up all week for my exciting graduation show coming up this week!
I volunteered to help build the actual display walls and I have a WHOLE new appreciation for manual labour. My fella does a lot of manual labour as a general contractor/builder of things and I have a whole new appreciation for what he does. It was a special experience to do some problem solving for building these things, and to do something with my hands and body; heavy lifting, gluing, measuring, drilling, cutting through thick-ass cardboard - woo! I called my fella to tell him of my new understanding for how tiring and exhausting (but fun!) his work can be!
I also had to set up my own personal work for the show! I kept my presentation simple so that the stories within my Spencer's Adventures series can speak for itself, and it is almost all up and ready to go as of today! I have a few things to add tomorrow, but then I'll be all done. It's wild that it's finally here; the accumulation of an entire year's worth of work.
I'll be sure to share some photos of the final set up (and maybe some peeks at some of my peers' works?) in the coming week, and hopefully be back to some regular posting after my show!

Weekly Photo Capsule .10
It has been a really nice couple of weeks. Though I still have to get my work ready for my final graduation show, it has been really nice to have some time on weekends and between work to focus on my own projects. The top left is a fun project I have worked on with my friend over a few years now (which I'll talk about some other time!) and the bottom right is for a fun zine my friend Blair is writing, which I will also talk more about later!
Last weekend the fella and I went to the zoo for Gorilla awareness day - it was one of the first wonderfully sunny days of the year and we really enjoyed walking around, learning about Gorillas, and seeing what ever other animals were out and about already. The Toronto zoo just recently got Pandas and boy are they cute and lazy and hilarious. This one was just lounging and letting whatever bits of his food fall onto his belly. No care in the world I tell ya!
What have you been up to this week?
