stark skincare

ORESTA Organic Skin Confectionery has been carrying Stark for a couple of months now. They are a trifecta of gorgeous boutique spas in Ottawa, that look more like eco-friendly art galleries than somewhere to get your skincare on. We like that aspect of ORESTA. Buying natural skincare shouldn’t feel like a clinical experience. Old-time Apothecary-like, [...]
You probably know that I love all my Stark products (duh, why would I offer you anything I didn’t love? That would be super lame!). What’s shaping up to be our most popular item is that Grapefruit Cleanse + Hydrate balm, which is a yummy mix of coconut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, some camellia [...]

Invest in Yourself

{This post may seem a little random, but I wanted to share this with you guys anyhow….it’s from a few days ago} My mojo is super high today! My heart feels like it’s pumping extra-oxygenated blood, I’m sitting up a little taller and I even think my hair looks a little shinier. I’ll tell you [...]

Did you hear what Dawn does in the morning?

Dawn, the lovely writer at Turby & John (a great blog…totally puts my bloggin’ skills to shame) had her morning routine featured on No More Dirty Looks. Dawn and I were both super excited, as we’re both total NMDL nerds and admire Alexandra & Siobhan so much, as we’re both writers AND love love love [...]

Not only does it help ward off the damaging effects of the sun’s evil, evil rays thanks to Ricebran oil, but Argan and camellia oils supply the skin with a host of antioxidants such as Vitamin [...]

sea change is coming and etc.

Hello friend! Lately I’ve just been having this feeling in my gut that change is coming. Yeah, I guess our move has something to do with it. We’re leaving our beloved apartment in St.Henri, my favorite Montreal district, for a side of town I NEVER thought I would live in. I don’t care much for the new [...]

Squeee! We were on TV! Stark on CTV!

Not “we” and in Adri and me. (Have you met Adri? I’ll have to introduce.) “We” as in our whole debut lineup was on CTV Ottawa Morning Live! CTV is MAJOR in Canananadada, so this came as a very nice surprise! We’re so stoked! “It’s a beautiful, beautiful line.” Yeah, music to my ears!

A Week in Reviews

Holy press mentions, Batman! (ouch, that was lame, so sorry.) Quite the week we had for reviews… in fact, it was our very first week of reviews and press, and we got 3 amazing reviews on 2 very, very classy and gorgeous sites. I seriously could not be more excited! Check out our Cy oil [...]

For the Love of Multipurpose

Personally, I love the idea of “multipurpose”. I love the fact that I have 2 jobs (Stark and writing), love clothes that can be worn in different ways, and love when products have more than one function. Like Stark’s! This was no fluke. A couple of years ago I lived in a crazy-small apartment. It [...]
