Oh! Naturals Flavoured Banana Chips ~ #Review & #Giveaway

I blink my eyes and my daughter is back at school.  I can't believe how fast this summer has been.  I am lucky at the moment that I had to worry about packing lunch for one.  My youngest is at a day care and they provide food for her there.  It makes all the difference.  Ever since my oldest has started school, I have been looking for items to pack into her bag.  I have learned that when I give her the same items over and over again, she will eventually lose interest and would not eat it.  I am always on a look out for new products to try and taste.

Happy Halloween from Hallmark ~ #HallmarkPressPause #Review

Can you believe that summer break is long gone and the kiddies are back at school.  When school starts, things will go full speed ahead into Thanksgiving, Halloween and into Christmas.   I have always found the final four months of the year go faster than the rest...and before you know it I will be dressing up my daughter in her Halloween costume.  I think my oldest daughter will be dressing up as a princess she wore last year.  I will just have to think a creative ways to put on her makeup this year.  I will have to roll up my sleeves up and fumble at it.

Live Clean (Lovely Lips) Balm ~ #Review & #Giveaway

"Hello, my name is Cecilia and I have an addiction to lip balms".  There, I said it and I bet I am not the only one.  Every time I see one I have not tried or ones I do like, I am always purchasing one because of my addiction.  I am never without a lip balm within sight - all around the house, my bag, desk, and purse.  I have a huge collection because they are my obsession.  This time I am head over heals for the Live Clean (lovely lips) balm.

Vichy Idealia Life Serum ~ #Review & #Giveaway

Wow!  Vichy is on a roll this year.  They had launched so many great products this year.  The idea for this new product is asking what if there is a skin care product that could reset the clock and give your skin a second chance.  I for one wished I used more sunscreen in the past and have a more balanced diet that could have kept my skin more healthy.  Well, this one should blow your mind because Vichy has launched a new product that believes it could do just that.  It is called IDEALIA Life Serum [LR2412+LHA].

Vichy at Luminato Festival (III) ~ #VichyLuminato #Review

I wasn't kidding when I tell you I have the most problematic skin and this is the last batch I received from the Luminato event.

I don't think I could stress how much I love their new Vichy Aqualia Thermal Night Spa.  I have mentioned in my previous post and many beauty bloggers also share my same enthusiasm.  I don't think I could live without this new night cream.  If you have not tried it, you have to.  If you have dehydrated or dry skin this might be the magic cream you have beenwaiting for.  I apply a thin layer on my skin and makes it feels wonderful in the morning.

August SnackBox Unboxing ~ #Review & #Giveaway

This is one unboxing I absolutely love because other than makeup I am uncovering a collection of food. FOOD!  Did you hear me?  If you have been following me from the get-go I had reviewed many beauty boxes subscriptions over the years.  You could say it was one of the reasons why I started my blog and it evolved into what it is now.

Vitabath: Luxury Bath & Body Products ~ #Review & #Giveaway

If you have been following me you know how much I am addicted to lotions and hand creams.  Regardless if I am at work, on the go, or at home, there is always one by my side like a side kick - my partner in crime.  I am constantly washing my hands so my hands often need a little TLC because they get dry and annoying.  There is one brand I would like to share with you that I know you will love as much as I do.

Marcelle: DD cream ~ #Review

As I mentioned before, there is a new kid in town and its name is DD.  What does DD stand for?  "Dynamic Do-All".  If you are like me and is lost with all these new ABC cream...don't worry.  You are not alone.  My understanding is that BB cream is a light coverage with added benefits.  CC cream is a medium coverage with more benefits.  DD cream is the combo of both BB and CC cream and the primary focus is its anti-aging - to diminish wrinkles and fine lines.  I hope this clears things up for you...

Blog Anniversary ~ #Life

Hi All,

I just realized that my 2nd year as a blogger has come and gone.  I have been so busy with my networking, reviews, and giveaways I totally forgot about it.  I try to post everyday but being a mom to two young kids and a full time job both eats up my time - but I do try my best.

I want to say Thank You for your support by either following me, commenting, re-tweeting, and re-pinning.  Most importantly I want to thank the Sponsors for providing me materials I could work with.  Almost everyday I reach out to Sponsors and some have been successful and many are still a work in progress.

Please continue what you do and hopefully more doors will open up to me as I work beside the pros and gurus and bring you much more reviews & giveaways for you to enter.

I love you guys and I thank you.

Ice-cream time!

Love Child Organics ~ #Review & #Giveaway

Who is Love Child Organics?

It started as two loving parents (John and Leah) filling a need to provide tasty and nutritious organic fruit and vegetables puree without all the nasty stuff to their child.  When they realize that other parents feel the same way they did they started their own food company.  All of their products are produced in Canada in an organically certified facility.

My kids are not infants any more but these fruit pouches are ideal snacks on the go.  They love applesauce but when we were rushing out of the house they don't often get the chance to wolf one down.  With these fruit pouches (no spoons required) they can sip it up while on the bus or car.   If you are looking for great school lunch ideas this could be what you are looking for.  They are peanut free and the pouches could easy fit into any school lunch bags.  I wont have to worry about cutting up some fruits if I am in a rush to pack their bags.

Dudley: The Locker Mat ~ #Review & #Giveaway

It is unbelievable that the kids are back at school.  Where did my summer go?  It seem that this summer went by faster than normal.  It might be because I am trucking my daughter from one location to another which causes time to just whiz by.

If your child has a locker this year may I advise to also pick up Dudley: The Locker Mat while doing your back to school shopping.  I would have love to have one of these while I was going to school.  This mat fits at the bottom of the locker and helps prevent boots/shoes from making a puddle or mess.

Dream Tea Boutique ~ #Review & #Giveaway

If you may recall, I am a huge tea drinker.  Most people travel with water in their water bottle but I always have tea in my travel mug.  I even purchased a thermal bag just for my travel mug.  Yes, I am a tea lover with a capital "T".   I have always been drinking tea, growing up since my parents always orders tea when we go out for dim sum or ate dinner at a Chinese Restaurant.  There was no way I could avoid drinking tea.  Then over time I'm always searching for great tea to try and to enjoy.  If you are asking where to buy great tasting tea, look no further because I know another great place to look.

I have discovered a fine tea boutique online store that sells an amazing variety of flavoured teas.  You know me, I can't keep this information to myself.  This online store is located out in Coquitlam, BC called Dream Tea Boutique which they import, distribute, and wholesaler carrying high-quality teas from Europe.  Dream Tea Boutique carries a world famous tea - Forsman Tea (Finland) at a very reasonable prices with over 50 selection of tea which also include Organic and Fair Trade loose leaf teas.
