Stonz Wear Youth Mittz ~ #Review

When my daughter was younger she hated to keep her mitts on.  When I picked her up from the playground her hands were usually ice cold.  Regardless of which mitts I put on her, she would have taken them off.  This year, she rarely took off her mittens because she was wearing her favourite Stonz Youth Mittz.



COLAB Sheer + Invisible Dry Shampoo ~ #Review & #Giveaway

When I was in the hospital for a few days right after I had my first daughter, I was in so much pain and was unbelievably tired.  I could barely move most of the time so for a few days I was unable to have a shower.  At the last day, my hair was driving me crazy so I had to force myself to wash my hair.  I thought I was prepared when I packed my bags before I headed over to the hospital.  One thing I wish I packed was a bottle of dry shampoo.  Who knew I was trapped in the hospitals for days.  A travel sized dry shampoo would have made my stay abit more comfortable.  If you are packing for a hospital stay or travelling anywhere, I would like to suggest to pack a travel size or a can of COLAB sheer + invisible dry shampoo by Ruth Crilly.  You might never know if you will be staying there for a day or more.

Aveeno #FreshEssentials ~#Review

I have been an Aveeno hand cream user for years.  It had always been my go to hand lotion brand.  I even used the lotions on my two daughters.  I use them so much that I purchase the mega size lotion bottles at Costco because that is how often we use them.  I didn't realized that they also have facial care line and I had the opportunitity to try their #freshessentials collection that I think everyone should try.

Power Rangers Lost Galaxy: The Complete Series ~ #Review

Power Rangers Lost Galaxy:The Complete Series

Available in Stores Nationwide March 10, 2015  From Shout! Factory

Last weekend was Family Day / Presidents' Day long weekend and it was freezing cold outside.  We didn't venture outside so my girls and I hibernated inside for a few days.  So we spent the day watching Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy marathon.  It was back to back, 45 episodes, which means about 15 hours of nothing but Power Rangers.  My kids loved it.  They love to watch these 5 superheroes saving the day.  As I watch it, it sort of reminds me of the days when Star Trek was still showing on cable.  There was one episode I enjoyed watching when Kai falls in love with a civilian.  It was a very cute and funny episode.  It was interesting to watch how these 5 became Power Rangers by pulling a sword out of a stone...sounds familiar doesn't?  This DVD is jam pack of action and tones of happy endings.

Vichy LIFTACTIV Supreme ~ #Review & #Giveaway

I work 8 hours a day and I am also a full time mom.  On some days it shows on my face and a few times by 2pm I am falling asleep in my chair.  On some days I feel fine but my face looks awful.  My skin will feel dull, tired, drained, and looks like I have aged while I was sitting at my desk.  This is called over-day aging.  For some people, they may look 4 months older in one day.  Nobody wants to see that on their face and especially if they have a evening function right after work.

Vichy for Men - Idealizer ~ #Review

What I have noticed when I was living with the opposite sex is that they don't purchase any moisturizer. Guess what, guys use moisturizers.  One time I discovered half of tub of body butter was missing.  He used it without me knowing about it.  My co-worker also found out her husband was using up one of her favourite hand creams. I wonder if they are using our hand creams, I bet they are also using our facial creams without us knowing it too!  I guess it is time for us to take back our moisturizers and give them something they could use without hiding.  Vichy came out with two great men facial moisturizer: the Idealizer.  It is for men who shaves frequently and who has a 3+ day beard.

Live Clean Exotic Nectar - Argan Oil Liquid Hand Soap and Hand Lotion ~ #Review

I was having guests over during the weekend for my daughter’s birthday. It was a mad dash to clean the house. One area that I spend the extra time cleaning and organizing is the bathroom. I have to make sure everything is stocked up and ready to use when guests arrive. It is very embarrassing if there are no paper toilets or fresh hand towels for them to use. The guests were ranting and raving about how much they love the Live Clean exotic nectar - argan oil hand soap and hand lotion they used while they were using my bathroom.

AXE White Label Grooming Collection (for MEN) ~ #Review & #Giveaway

When I think of AXE, it reminds me of those goofy commercials where the women instantly are attracted to men.  HA!  Get it?  AXE turns you into a chick magnet... It doesn't really work that way but hey, I am not here to demolish anyone's dream.  However, we do prefer our men smelling fresh and clean.  If the guy smells great then we are more likely turn towards to him instead of away from him. 

If you are thinking of getting a Valentine's Day or Birthday gift for the men in your life.  You might want to consider of getting AXE White Label Grooming Collection.

Pound Puppies: Puppy Love DVD ~ #Review & #Giveaway

Just in time for Valentine's Day, check out Pound Puppies: Puppy Love DVD that everyone would love.  I enjoyed watching this DVD with my daughters and they loved it too.  I enjoyed the episode where Niblet falls in love at first sight with Giblet.  It is also the same episode where Lucky almost admitted his feelings for Cookie.  It is a very cute romantic episode.

It is fun to watch the Pound Puppies match lonely dogs with their new owners.   There is nothing more beautiful than a puppy getting adopted.  This is a great DVD to own and you can watch this  during this Valentine's Day or any time with your kids.

I have been using body washes for years and even take them on my travels.  I could never go back using a bar of soap.  I think they are the greatest invention.  I even used body washes on my daughters since they were babies.  They make it so easy to wash their little bodies.  For many years I have been using Dove Body Washes.  Whenever they go on sale I go crazy and stock up on my favourite Dove Body Washes.  This winter, I love Dove newest Body Wash - DEEP MOISTURE NOURISHING BODY WASH WITH NUTRIUM MOISTURE.

L'Occitane Fleurs de Cerisier ~ #Review

Spring is still about 3 months away and I love to repeat Olaf's infamous quote "Let's Bring Back Summer!" because I can't wait for winter to be over.  I will know when Spring has arrived if I was in Japan, or somewhere in High Park where there is tons of Cherry Blossom Trees are.  It is a beautiful sight to see the trees covered in pink and see some of them floating and blowing around in the wind.  I don't need to wait until Spring to enjoy the Cherry blossoms, L'Occitane is releasing a new limited edition collection Fleurs de Cerisier of fragrance and body care products especially for Valentine's Day.

#HallmarkPressPause Celebrates Valentine's Day ~ #Review & #Giveaway

Valentines Day is always special to me.  I have some great memories over the years that I would always cherish.  I know Valentine's Day is for couples to celebrate their love but I love how the Japanese celebrate their Valentine's Day.

In Japan, women are given the opportunity to give out treats, usually chocolates to any of the males in their life.  It is not necessary for only couples.  It is the day for women to show the men how much they mean to them.  They could be friends, their boss, classmates, relatives, or loved ones.  In return, on March 15, White Day, is an event where the males would return "the favour" with white chocolate.  If we follow their example and give out items they might love, I think it would be very successful holiday.

Hallmark had always plays a role in helping me to celebrate my Valentine's Day from a getting card or a small gift.  This year there is so many items I think there is something for anyone.

My Little Pony: The Movie ~ #Review

Blast from the past.  She is a huge fan of My Little Pony: Magic is Friendship and Equestria Girls, I wanted to show her how I remember My Little Pony.  I was showing my daughter this movie, the 80s movie called My Little Pony: The Movie.  I had no idea it was an all-star voice cast but that time they were just starting their careers, later becoming famous.  My daughter enjoyed this movie and I believe any kid would too.

Fresh Attitude: Asian-Style Stir Fry Bowls ~ #Review

For the past few weeks I have been extremely busy.  Most of the week I had to skip my lunch break trying to catch up with all the work that is still on my desk. Whenever I finished one thing two more projects landed on my desk.  I was so busy I didn't have time to run out of the office to pick up some lunch.  Fortunately, I received a few boxes of Attitude stir fry kits.  Without them, I wouldn't have any lunches and I am already missing my breakfast.

I love food and I love to try products that just hit the shelves.  The best type of food is that it is all most ready to eat.  All I have to do is pop it into the microwave to heat it up.
