I’m not generally into room sprays, preferring to just keep things clean and fresh smelling that way, but we work right next door to the Canadian Living Test Kitchen, and sometimes when they’re cooking something fishy, garlicky or overwhelmingly greasy first thing in the morning, it’s all we can do to not flee from our offices.
Smells Life a Flower Shop Body & Room Spray has been a saviour on those occasions.
Made by Canadian company Mythical Matters, this spray is so natural you can use it as a perfume, and it really does smell just like a flower shop – truly evocative, but in a really subtle way, of fresh-cut greenery and beautiful blooms.
It’s made of water, alcohol, witch hazel distillate, aloe vera extract, glycerin and perfume and comes in a recyclable amber glass bottle; a percentage of every sale will be donated to the Toronto Wildlife Centre.

Price: $24.99 (8 oz.)

I am a lip balm maniac. There! The truth is out! I have to have some with me at all times or I panic (OK, I don’t actually panic, but I can’t stand the feeling of dry lips!).
So when I heard about and tried Softlips Pure Natural Lip Balms, I was thrilled. Made with 100% all-natural, food-grade ingredients, they’re perfect for keeping your lips soft, smooth and pucker ready. Packed with things like aloe vera, beeswax, vitamin E, and shea butter oil, almond, jojoba and grape seed oils to protect, moisturize and condition, they also come in two yummy flavours, Citrus and my personal fave, Bergamot, as well as a fragrance-free version.
Available at: Wal-Mart, Loblaws, Zellers, A&P, Value Mart, London Drugs or visit www.mentholatum.ca for availability in your area.
Price: $4.75

I’ve been using Ecover’s Lemon and Aloe Vera Dish Liquid for months now and just love it.
Ever since I started using environmentally friendly cleaning products, I’ve realized just how strongly scented most chemical cleaners really are. This subtly scented dishwashing liquid gets rid of the most stubborn cooked-on food and leaves all of my dishes sparkling clean – all thanks to plant-based ingredients that are fully biodegradable and suitable for septic tanks.
To top it all off, there are no phosphates and both the bottle and cap are recyclable!
