The daily steal: Sugar scrub, $24
During a recent manicure at The Ten Spot’s (the1ospot.com) new Leslieville location, I was deliberating between Chanel’s “Particulière” or Essie’s “Mink Muffs.” (“Mink Muffs” won out.) As I wrestled with this difficult decision, my hands received a rubdown using Lovefresh Wild Ginger & Cinnamon Sugar Scrub ($24, lovefresh.com). The spicy scent that I have a weakness for in baked goods had me at hello, but what really won me over was that, upon closer inspection, the ingredient list revealed itself to be free of parabens, petroleum and synthetic preservatives. *Fist pump* Plus, jumbo-sized jar and of Canadian provenance? Done.
