Originally from Russia, Roza graduated from the International School of Skin and Nail Care in 1999 and has been on a skin care journey ever since. Gaining experience in many realms of the industry, her areas of expertise include: management, training, and image consulting. However, her specialty continues to remain in the practice of hair removal. While she is very passionate about waxing, she believes a true hair removal specialist should not only be able to remove the hair with proper technique, but also educate the client on proper skin and hair health. When she’s not at WAX, you can find Roza running, fishing, or exploring the outdoors, but when it’s time to unwind, she’s all about dinner and a movie.

Three things you can’t live without: Learning, sharing, and clothes!
Let me first start by stating that I am NOT a product junkie. Don’t get me wrong, I love great beauty products (I have definitely been known to drop $200 at Sephora, no problem), but these days, every penny counts. When it comes to buying make-up, body care products, or even something like toothpaste… I’m squeezing it’s little tubey neck for every last drop!
For the past month and a half, I’ve been doing some testing on a couple of different toothpastes, and let me tell you….it has really sparked a toothpaste enthusiast inside of me that I never even knew existed! Along my paste testing journey, I’ve also been using the toothbrush from Acca Kappa’s BIOCETA line: made from a biodegradable material derived from cotton, and boar hair for the bristles. Love it!
First up is Couto toothpaste: Efficacy: A+ Taste: B+ Design: A+ Price: $8.00
Originally created in 1932 by a Portuguese pharmacist who was looking to treat the overwhelming amount of gingivitis cases around him, this great toothpaste hasn’t changed much since it’s earlier days. It’s vegan, made without creepy ingredients, and tastes…… like licorice. While I did enjoy how clean my mouth felt while using this toothpaste, I am not a huge fan of fennel flavoring. This would be my only criticism, but that’s just my personal taste!
Next up is Marvis toothpaste: Efficacy: A+ Taste: A+ Design A+ Price: $10.50
Imported from Florence, Italy, this little gem has somehow gotten me wrapped around it’s….uh, tube? Not only is it amazing to use and covers all the dental hygiene, tooth and gum care elements, but it comes in awesome flavors. Ginger mint? Are you kidding me?? Not to mention, it’s beautifully packaged and looks amazing on my sink. I’ve even kept the box….
For $10.50, you might think that’s over the top for toothpaste. Even for a non-junkie like myself, I may have to agree with you a smidge. But really, isn’t it worth it to have a super effective toothpaste that makes your mouth feel like it’s relaxing in a day spa in Florence, Italy for a few minutes, twice a day? My mouth says ‘yes please!’.
Many wonderful things come to mind when we think of Miss Lane: Sharp wit, nutrition savvy, Canadian… But perhaps the one thing that sticks out the most is the term ‘product junkie’. Whether it’s beauty, skin care, nutrition, or shoes (another major addiction that could warrant it’s own blog post); Lane is the quintessential product guru of the WAX staff. Here are just a few of her major addictions this month:
1.) Hard Top Intrinsic Nail Hardener: My #1 addiction this month. This product is truly amazing! It’s not a lacquer, but more like a serum. If you want beautiful natural nails, buy this stuff!
2.) Odwalla Superfood juice: I don’t know what it is about this blend but it gives me energy and tastes yummy…
3.) Chanel Ultra Wear Lip Colour in Rose Agate: I apply it once in the morning and it lasts all day long. Even after lunch it’s still there. Love it!
4.) Trace Minerals Research Electrolyte Stamina Paks in cranberry: These are good for your body and give you a steady flow of energy!
5.) Endless.com and Zappos.com: Two words; Free shipping (both ways!). These websites are one of the only reasons that I check my mail.
According to my husband I am addicted to a lot of things: constant rearranging of our furniture, vintage Italian ceramics, compulsive eBay bidding & talking while he’s watching something “important” on TV. I, however, do not consider those addictions – they are called passions and these are a few of the things that I am passionate about this month.
1. Indian headresses. Please see adjacent photo. I would wear this to the grocery store just for kicks. No, really….I would….
2. Fiddleleaf Fig Trees. They’re so sculptural and pretty. Mine is only about 3 ft but I’m hoping it will soon look like one of the one’s in this picture.
3. Eating for my blood type. Dr. D’Adamo’s medical and genetic research reveals that blood type is the key to your biochemical uniqueness. When you eat right for your type, your body responds the way nature intended. I am Type A and should be mostly vegetarian and avoid wheat. I should also drink coffee (yay!) and avoid black tea. The list goes on and on but fortunately for me most of what I should be eating I already do with a few exceptions of things that need to be avoided: cheese from cows, capers, olives & peppers. Cue me sobbing into my cup of coffee. Can’t yet say if I’ll be a life long convert, but I have lost a few pounds, have more energy and a lingering cough is now gone. Check out the book here.
4. Plums. ‘Nuf said. Nothing makes me happier than fresh plums in the summer. LOVE them. And they’re on my list of blood type approved foods.
5. Adara coconut oil. It works great for everything, from dry skin to dry hair and leaves me smelling all beachy. Perfect for summer. Find it here.
I constantly search for the perfect one on eBay.
