Still Life Still Moving Upwards and Forwards

Still Life Still Moving Upwards and Forwards

I had a few good reasons for wanting to interview Still Life Still. Speaking with Toronto indie rockers (like the Dinosaur Bones) about other local goodies, Still Life Still is generally mentioned.

They also have a show coming up on February 27th at the Silver Dollar, so I knew that I”d be able to catch them there with The Paint Movement – and I do enjoy The Paint Movement.

The third, and probably the most prominent reason, was that I recently heard little birdie whispers in the wind that Still Life Still was about to sign a contract with Arts & Crafts. Signing to Arts and Crafts would put them alongside some of the biggest names in the Canadian indie rock scene.

Bodycare Review: ESPA Detoxifying Salt Scrub

Bodycare Review: ESPA Detoxifying Salt Scrub

(image from www.espaonline.com)

Last December, I reviewed the 24 Hour Moisture Complex from ESPA. Today, I am reviewing Detoxifying Salt Scrub from the Renew bodycare range.

This is essentially a two-in-one product, which works both as a salt scrub and bath salt. The salt particles are mainly of two sizes. Most of them resemble finely ground table salt and some resemble coarse sea salt. When applied onto the skin, it is the smaller salt particles that are doing the exfoliating job. The larger salt particles drop into the bath as they are meant to be bath salt.

The product features a mixture of plant oils, which include sweet almond oil, sunflower seed oil, and coconut oil. They moisturize the skin during the exfoliating. Some might find them to be a little too emollient. In this case, a small amount of cleanser can be used afterwards just to take off the extra emolliency.

The product has a fairly long-lasting citrusy scent, which is from added fragrant components.

Overall this is quite a heavy-duty body scrub that leaves the skin smooth and conditioned. I would suggest using very soft and gentle circular motions and avoid any sensitive area of the skin.
