Thann...No longer available in Canada

I've just received news!


Everything I want is currently out of stock :(

Readers are you picking anything up?


Update:
From my purchase here, I loved the hair mask and would repurchase. Immediate results and my hair felt smooth, looked shiny and no flyaways! (I was using it as an everyday conditioner)
I pass on the bar of soap, the scent was overpowering so I gave it to my mom.
I have yet to use the hand cream, but the scent of the bar did turn me off of the line. The only thing I would consider repurchasing would be the hair mask. The scent was lovely, not overpowering, dissipated after drying and the results were excellent.

Color Analysis...Finding Your Season

While random YouTube browsing recently, I came upon this video...


Eager to find my season and what colors worked best for me, I googled swatches. Since Spring is coming around the corner and as per my previous post I've been diligently purging. But before I refill my wardrobe, I'll be investing in pieces that will compliment rather than wasting my money.

As per the video, I'm a warm fall/autumn...

Readers are you familiar with color analysis? And if so what season do you fall in? Now knowing what season I am, I'm hoping I'll be making better choices for items being added to my closet!

Preview 2014...

It's the start of the New Year and everyone seems to have their New Years Resolutions... so here's what's in store for me personally and on Pass or Praiseworthy blog...

Goal Setting: Every year I set goals at 6mths, 1 year, and 5 years and revisit them often

Lists: This year along with goal setting I'll be actively doing lists, I love lists and feel they give you instant gratification from accomplishments

Shop my Stash: I noticed I've been forgetting my back up stash bag, and found several products have expired. I'll need to amalgamate everything into one bag or box and revisit before I make new purchases. That or donate before it expires. Along that note, I need to see more pan before I go buy another bronzer or blush. Makeup hoarding is hard to ignore! Eeek :(

Declutter: Try and spend 15 minutes per day to re-organize/declutter and seasonally weed out clothing for donation.

Donate: You've probably noticed a lessoning in giveaways on the blog in the last year. What I've been doing instead is donating products and clothing to local woman's shelters. I'd like to continue that for 2014

Also 2014 will be a busy year for myself personally, so the blog may fall to the wayside

I will try to post when I can, and possibly expand the topics :) Would love to hear what you'd like to see more of! send me an email or comment!

Here's to 2014!
