I’m about a week and a half into my new job, and so far, things are going well. This week is already flying by, which is a sign that I’ve been busy! I like the fact that there’s a number of different components to my job, which means I’m not spending 40 hours a week at my computer. Yes, I do spend a great deal of my time at a computer, but it’s broken up with meetings and brainstorming sessions.
The only downfall to being so busy is that I have to neglect a couple of my social media accounts during the day. The main account that I can’t really give much love to during the day is Snapchat. No one in my office wants to hear me watching people’s stories, or worse – recording my own! As a result, I watch Snapchat stories when I get home. Some people watch Netflix, but I watch people’s Snapchat stories. I guess that’s kind of the same thing?
As much as I love the beautiful, curated aspect of blogs and Instagram, I’m drawn to that raw, in-the-moment footage that you can only get with Snapchat. I think that’s why a lot of us find it’s such a fun way to connect with people!
The Peeling Scrub – Why I’m Loving It
You might remember that on my stories, I recently talked about this amazing face scrub I was using. The product I’ve been using is the White Jewel Peeling Scrub from THE FACE SHOP.
The brand originated in Korea in 2003, but in the last year or so, has begun to open up stores in a number of Canadian shopping malls. THE FACE SHOP sells high quality makeup and skincare products, all of which are affordable. The stores are well-merchandised and any time I’ve been in, the staff has been helpful and knowledgeable.
How to Use the White Jewel Peeling Scrub From The Face Shop
I’ve been playing around with a few of their products, but since I love the White Jewel Peeling Scrub so much, I wanted to give you the run down.
Before you use the scrub, it’s important that you wash and dry your face.
Once your skin is dry, apply the scrub. The scrub is enriched with pearl powder and it has a slight sheen to it before you apply it. The pearl powder nourishes skin and eliminates dead skin cells that can clog your pores.
All you have to do is massage the scrub into your skin for a minute or two. You’ll know when you’re ready to rinse it off, because it starts to “clump” up a bit as it removes your dead skin.
Once the scrub has completely transformed into this peeling-like state, it’s time to rinse it off!
Immediately after rinsing, your skin will feel smooth and refreshed. While there’s no “right” or “wrong” time to use the scrub, I recommend that you use it at night. My skin gets a little red from being exfoliated, but by morning, it’s back to normal!
Have you tried any products from THE FACE SHOP? If so, let me know your favourites in the comments!

I”m so glad to hear that you’re enjoying the new job! Being busy is always a good sign. I’ve been trying out so many skin things lately because winter always dries me out. This stuff looks great!

You should see if you can find it. It’s pretty inexpensive and a little goes a long way!

I love these photos and your face looks so clean. You know when I love to watch Snaps? When I’m on a plane. I download all of them while I still have wi-fi and then just watch all the videos on the plane. Takes up a good amount of time, too.

Sounds like a great product! I haven’t used any products from them before. Glad your job is going well!
