I stumbled across Amaravati participating with Groupon a few months ago.  I was intrigued from the moment I checkout out the site.  I love bath and beauty products, probably a bit too much.  I ordered some body wash and lotion and I was not let down.  They were wonderful pure and I didn’t feel like I was slathering chemicals all over my body.

I contacted Lise, owner and creator of Amaravati and was pleasantly greeted by a wonderful, caring and patient woman. (We played massive phone tag)

Heres some background information on Amaravati:

The name Amaravati comes from a female Hindu name, meaning ‘full of ambrosia’. In ancient times, ambrosia was the food of the gods. Today, with so much information shared around the globe, we can all experience the best that each culture and region has to offer.

Amaravati is a collection of botanically based and environmentally benign aromatherapy bath and body products offering over 70% organic content. Each product is uniquely designed by founder Lise Lapierre, a homeopathic practitioner and certified Aromatherapist. Through the combination of carefully selected organic ingredients from around the world and utilizing 100% therapeutic grade essential oils, Amaravati is the beauty of divine wellness.

Lise is offering our readers a free scrub when you spend $30 or more on her site.  Simply add the scrub into your cart when you’ve addded a minimum of $30 to your basket. Then enter the code “SMARTSCRUB” at checkout to receive your FREE scrub (Value of $25.99)  This promo will run from today until the end of the week.  Shipping is $13, while that may seem high unfortunately Canada Post isn’t cheap.

You heard it here first! Shoppers Drug Mart will having a Beauty bonus redemption on the weekend of Feb. 12-14, 2011.  Items included in this redemption are: makeup, facial skin care, men’s & women’s fragrances, jewellery, hair colouring, hosiery, bath foam & gel, and nail care. Usual exclusions such as gift cards, lottery tickets, stamps, transit passes, etc. apply.

This is just in the nick of time to pick up some Valentine’s Day treats for yourself or that someone special for free. Why not spoil yourself on some prestige makeup or skin care? Perhaps a fabulous new perfume? Sadly, I’ll be skipping this one, as I have enough beauty products to last the entire millennium. What will you be redeeming?

While driving home from Detroit this week we stopped for a bit.  We decided on Hungry Howies. I had never eaten there before but it was only $10 for a large pizza with flavoured crust of our choice and a large bread stix.  It was absolutely fantastic! I hadn’t had pizza that delish in years.  It got me thinking, there just isn’t that many huge pizza franchises in Canada compared to the USA which sucks.  If you had to choose your fave Canadian pizza joint who would you pick?  Toppings?

I guess if I have to stay Canadian I’d have to go with Godfather’s Pizza. I think theres just under 70 of them in Ontario.  My favourite toppings are pineapple, pepperoni, green peppers, mushrooms and bacon.

Pyrex wants to teach us the 4 rules of taking care of your glass bake ware and for being such great students they are going to give away free I heart Pyrex potholders to the first 120’000 people to submit the form! This freebie is valid in Canada and the US so these will probably go fast. This offer runs until April 30th 2011 or until all 120’000 potholders have been claimed, whichever happens first.

Click HERE to go get your free potholder!

*Unfortunately they messed up and while the form appears to be Canadian friendly they didn’t implement it right.  I have contacted Pyrex to fix the problem but I also tried putting all my information in the address box instead and used a fake zip and state.  In the terms it clearly states it’s open to Canadian residents, just their tech dept. messed up. When this gets fixed I will update this post to let you all know*

While Urban Planet is no Chanel or Cavalli, $10 for a party dress is certainly considered a bargain. It says that the regular price is $39, so that’s a savings of almost 75%. I’ve never bought anything from Urban Planet before, so I can’t say anything about the quality.  I still prefer a little black dress over these bright colours though.

Joe Fresh is offering a printable coupon save $10 off $50 on activewear.  The coupon is valid until February 10th 2011.  Click here to directly print off your coupon.
