Winter is here and as much as I remember during summer wishing for the colder weather I am thinking maybe I was crazy?!? It is here and I am not loving it like I thought I would. We barely even had Fall this year so maybe that's why I am not too happy with Summer then straight to Winter =/

I know there is a lot of repeat products on my blog, I don't have high end things and maybe that is boring but I am not rich just yet so unfortunately it's kinda all the same =/

I have dry itchy skin in winter as well I find my hair is dryer then normal. It gets up to -45'C here and that is DAMN cold.So here are a few of my Winter Essentials I always have around my house...

DEEEEEEEP CONNNNDDIIITOOONNNER!!!! EVERYONE needs some of this! My Joico K-Pak is cruelty free so this is a good product to use! My hair is colored and prone to breaking and this is one of my favorites that I got at Winners for $20 and it will last at least a year.

I had just recently purchased this Lubriderm Advanced Moisture since I am kind of desperate for something that will help with winter dry skin and it was on sale for $4.99. I know it isn't cruelty free but I am kind of out of options with this, so please any suggestions would be appreciated!

 This is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE body scrub & body cream EVER!!!! The only bad thing is Bubs Soap Sudz is made by a lady outside of my city that goes to events a couple times a year so it really isn't excessable through out the year =(
I REALLY wish you guys could smell this!!! The scent "Happi" is really fruity and amazing, I can't even begin to gush over this smell I seriously want to eat it!!!All of her products are Sodium Lauryl Sulfate free as well Paraben free.I told the lady who makes this she should make a perfume and I would buy it all!
I bought a couple of these this year so it will have to last for a while.
I think a good scrub is really important to keep skin feeling soft and I moisturizers will work better without dry scaly skin!
Must have GREAT Lip balms over the winter especially! I do not have dry lips but once in a while in the winter I have to use these even more then regular.

I have been using the Nivea Essential for years and have like 5 of them right now so they come in handy.

I also really like this Aquafina lip balm with jojoba oil,almond oil and vitamin e, keeps my lips soft and smooth =D

I have SO MANY pairs of mitts and toques for winter so these are for sure a MUST have in winter! =)

Ohhh I almost forgot, if you are lucky you need 2 tickets to take a warm winter vacation!! i haven't been that lucky yet but maybe sometime soon =D

These are my Winter Must haves, what are some of yours??

Going into Shoppers Drug Mart when there are sales is just dangerous! I spent too much there as usual but I had to pick up a couple things for a friends birthday so I will blame part of that on her bday! ;)

I tried to limit what I picked up for myself since I really don't need any of this.....

Well Except the cosmo I NEEDED that =)

*Decembers Cosmo-I actually said who is the girl on the front, ops its Adele. 

You always need good magazines so this is valid right?

*Lubriderm Advanced Moisture-On sale for $4.99 

Dry winter itchy skin, Needed this right?

*Rimmel Vinyl Gloss-On Sale for $4.99

Okay yeah yeah I really didn't need another lip gloss to add to my ridiculous collection but it was on sale and the color is so pretty!

*L'oreal Voluminous Million Lashes in Carbon Black- On Sale for $6.99 with Bonus Eyeliner.

Yes this is EVIL but I still haven't found a replacement... I thought I did but it was a false alarm =/

*Batiste Dry Shampoo Tropical- $9.99

I can't have greasy hair so I needed this too!

Here is a close up of this gloss, it is in "Take a Chance". Very pretty! As well I really liked the font they used for the name...no that's not why I bought it but I did like it!

Okay so some of this stuff I bought I kind of needed but probably not all of it =/ I did get some tooth paste and coffee cream too but I don't think we need pictures of those lol.

What was the last thing you bought that you didn't need?
