London Drugs Recycling!

Recycling at London Drugs~

I think we have all come to realize that we don't treat our planet all that well.  Yes, we are busy and yadda, yadda, yadda...bottom line...we each could do better.

So how?  The best way... to incorporate recycling into our daily life so it is not as much of a "chore", but a lifestyle. Let's face it municipalities are starting to have new bylaws restricting curbside garbage so it is better to get on board, rather than be forced into it from a Bylaws officer.

How has our family has worked this into our lifestyle? 

We have our seperate reclycling area's in our household... Out on our deck, beside the 'pop' fridge we have a blue bin, our side yard we have our composting area...well really it is where we store our yard clippings and the lawn mower, but we hope to actually get into composting!  

And finally in our garage...here we have our bigger bins in which we store our recyclables.  A household of 7, which used to produce 3 standard garbage bins of waste every week.  

Now we have it down to 2 bags of garbage or 1/2 a garbage can...

this all happened without actually trying. 

 It was more due to a quick weekend to organize the different 

'high traffic' areas where we could lazily throw our recyclables...

Okay and due to our 3 youngest children who kept nagging us to be better at recycling!!

One area that I didn't realize we even needed...oversized packaging!  Wow as a family of 7 the amount of packaging from 'Stuff'...We started to stack the packaging...everything from bright green Xbox packages to the new vaccuum and not to mention the TV boxes.  Now this isn't every week but there always seems to be something in this location...the next challenge for the oversized stuff?  Not enough time to take it to the recycling area at our local landfill....

but our local London Drugs, 

which face it, is where it all came from originally!  Has a great 'take it back' program!

Just in Case -

Let's face it the world is changing, but discretion never goes out of style.  

Now women can take control of their sexual health with this discrete but trendy case.

As a matter of fact I brought a sample of this product home and instantly my 12 year old
daughter grabbed it out of my bag,
opened it said "cool mirror" and put it back in my purse....
never knowing that there was a condom
concealed inside...

For women there is


Fresh Breast

Many women suffer from perspiration and chafing

under their breasts and in the cleavage area. Not to mention the embarrasment

of unsightly discoloration on your snuggly fit cami, bikini or shapely summer dress!

Also a great product to use on the soles of your feet or on clammy hands~

Fresh Breasts^TM is a natural product,

formulated to keep this area fresh and dry, and prevents the uncomfortable

feelings caused by perspiration.

 It is scent free, Aluminum Free, Paraben Free, and Talc Free,

and contains Oatmeal as an anti-irritant and Tea Tree Oil

as an anti-bacterial, and can be used with other grooming products.

Fresh Breasts^TM

is an easy to apply lotion that dries quickly,

so it won’t clump on your skin or leave a powdery residue in your garment.

It can be used as often as needed and is recommended as part of your daily routine.

Now available in Canada at London Drugs, in the deodorant aisle.

 

Do I need to use a Toner~

I find a lot of customers sometimes buy a less expensive cleanser and toner instead of using the same brand as their skin creams.  I think the perception is that you just wash it off and therefore no need to invest in the same cleanser.  As for the toner?  I think a lot of normal to dry skin care users skip it altogether.

 Generally skincare lines won't negatively interact with other brands, but all skincare brands work best when used together.  This in one of the basics of getting the best from your skincare.  Often the Toner portion of the regime in skipped for a variety of reasons, but the main one is that a lot of people do not understand the true benefit of a Toner. 

A Toner is a product that reestablishes the PH balance of the skin.  So why is this important?  In order to properly cleanse the oil (oil is an acid) and other debris from the skin you need to use a cleanser that has an alkaline base.  Alkaline cuts through oil allowing the skin to be cleansed.  Now that the skin is clean the PH is more alkaline than acidic.  To get the best performance out of your skin cream you need to apply it to a PH neutral skin...this is where the importance of a Toner comes in.

So dryer skin types are more alkaline and oilier skins are more acidic. 

 For years toners had a harsh alcohol or witchhazel base which would strip the skin of excess oils which was okay as part of a normal or oily skincare regime, a lot of dry and dehydrated skins types skipped this step.

Now for one of my favorite products~

Shiseido Softening Lotion. 

This 'Softener' (toning step) actually works great on a dryer skin to allow your skin cream to be properly absorb by 'softening' the skin.  Now your skin is ready to get the best performance out of your moisturizer.

Shiseido has different Softeners for the different skin types, including and alcohol free product for oilier skins.

Bottom line if you want the best performance from your skincare 

use the entire regime, and don't skip the 'toning' or 'softening' step~
