Style Swellness: Zara launches online shopping

The day is herrrrrrrre! Zara launches their Canadian e-commerce site today, whee!

I’m not typically an online shopper when it comes to clothes (I really like to see how pieces fit on me and to touch the fabrics) but having received an invite to shop Zara.com pre-launch, and being pretty familiar with how Zara’s clothing fits–I have a feeling I’ll be shopping online much more often now. Plus, there’s a new app, too, so shopping on your smartphone or tablet is even more streamlined.

Standard delivery is free for orders $50+ (or you can pick up your order in store for free delivery, too). Same return policy as shopping in person, that is 30 days for returns or exchanges. And yes, you can return or exchange items bought online in store (I personally much prefer that over mailing back items).

Lucky me, I was invited to shop the new site and my order should arrive today. I’ll anxiously be awaiting the courier! I’ll post my buys on Instagram (You can find me there @healthandswellness).

Sponge worthy

When you cover health sometimes you get sent the most “interesting” (which is to say odd) products to test out. Underwear with extra padding to give you more junk in the trunk (they will give you more curves, but feel funny on), for example, or drops you sprinkle into the toilet before doing a #2 to eliminate any odours (didn’t try them out, in case you’re wondering).

The Original Gal Pal would seem to fall into this gimmicky category–except that it really works well and has helped me more than a few times (like yesterday!). Think of it as a Magic Eraser for your wardrobe. This garment deodorant remover is the only thing I’ve ever tried that successfully removes that pesky streak of deodorant you can get get on your clothes  when getting dressed (especially when pulling on anything body-con). You use it dry and with a few quick swipes, Gal Pal’s special formulation removes the white deodorant mark easily.

If only it worked as well at deleting other things–hangovers, memories of bad dates–now that would truly be magical.
