Kaia Natural Juicy Bamboo Natural Facial Cleansing Cloths ~ #Review & #Giveaway

I would apply my makeup early morning when I get into the office. I never have time to do it before I leave the house. I am always running around and rushing to get the kids ready and out the door. I wear the makeup all day and the first thing I want to do is wipe it off when I get home but most of the time I don’t. I am doing 20 things all at once and I don’t get to remove my makeup until late in the evening. However, once I have started using cleansing wipes that changed everything. I have a box of wipes sitting in my living room and I would just come in and wipe the makeup all off until I could wash my face. If you have never tried facial wipes, this is the perfect time. Let me introduce you to Kaia Natural Juicy Bamboo Natural Facial Cleansing Cloths.

Summer Must Haves: Bioderma ~ #Review

Bioderma sent me some product to try for this summer. Ever since I have started blogging, Bioderma was no stranger to me. Back in 2012, I did a guest post with BeWildered Bug and she mentioned Bioderma Sebium H20. One day, Rexall had them on sale so I purchased a small bottle to try. Ever since I always had one I used off and on over the years. Lately, it is the only one I could use to wipe away my eye liners using a cotton swab. It is super gentle and never stings my eyes. Sometimes when I need a quick refresher, I would use it until I have time to wash my face.

Summer Must Haves: Jergens Shea Beauty Oil and Biore Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips ~ #Review & Giveaway

There are two new products that I have recently been using that I think you might like too. I love to put body oil on my skin especially since it is dry so often. I know my mom has it worse since she said after menopause her skin is extremely dry all the time. I love how my skin feels hydrated after using Jergens Shea Beauty Oil.

#VichyWorksForMe ~ #Review & #Giveaway

Back in March I was invited to attend the #VichyWorksForMe Blogger event to promote their new products launching this year and to help get me started on a routine to achieve my ideal healthy skin. I hated putting my skin under the microscope but I had my skin analyzed. Basically I have the skin of a 20 year old with clogged pores as well as some different pigment skin tones because I am getting old. My skin is trapped in a time warp and it can’t make up its mind or just likes to complicate things because having normal skin does not exist in my world. Fortunately, I was not prescribed 20 different items that could help me with my skin or I would have wiped clean the shelves. He started me on a 3 step program - products from the Normaderm collection.

Shout! Factory Maya the Bee Movie ~ #Review & #Giveaway

Meet Maya the Bee (aka #396). Once she opens her eyes she has been curious about everything and questioned everything. She wants to explore and doesn't do what bees normally do.  You know she is a little trouble maker and getting into everything.  Throughout the whole movie, she does nothing but laugh, giggle, and just wants to have some fun. She left the bee hive with her trusty friend Willy and in the meadow she befriends Sting, a kid hornet.  My kids enjoyed watching this movie.  They liked to follow Maya on her adventure and discover what is in the meadow and how it is like to befriend other bugs.  I bet my kids can relate to Maya where she would question all the rules and don't follow the "rules".  It is a great movie to watch.

Kellogg’s Cereal with One of Five Collectible Cereal & Milk Spoon Straws inside! ~ #Review

I grew up in the 80s when there was a time when cereal boxes came with a toy or a goody. I do recall a time when I begged my mom for a box and we emptied the whole box to get the toy. I asked my friends if they remember what they got and no one could remember what they received. They only remember the excitement of getting the cereal box toy.

KISS Nail Art Pro Tool Kit & Broadway Nails imPRESS ~ #Review & #Giveaway

I had always like painting my nails as long as I could remember. I recall my first when I was really young and took my mom’s nail polish and tried to paint my nails. Of course I got it all over my fingers and got in trouble. My daughters have seen me work on my nails and they know if they want nail polish or nail art that they will ask me and I would gladly put it on them. I love putting nail stickers on our nails. It is so easy and so much fun. It is perfect for people who want to add a little fun to their nails.

Live Clean Coconut Milk Body Wash, Hand Soap, and Hand Lotion ~ #Review & #Giveaway

Coconut has become one of my weaknesses. If there is a box of sweets you will be sure I will be picking the coconut flavoured one. During the Administrative Week someone bought a box of Pairies Girls cupcakes and there was a coconut one. Unfortunately I didn’t get to grab it since it was taken before I had the chance.

Hallmark WorkShop: Calligraphy 101 ~ #LoveHallmarkCA

I had the most wonderful time participating at Hallmark’s Calligraphy workshop at Hopson Grace Store. The workshop ran by Lisa Mavian from PostCalligraphy. It has been decades since I used a calligraphy pen. It was fun learning it all over again but this time I had an instructor. In the past I self taught but even then I think I was doing it all wrong. I had a classmate demonstrating her Calligraphy penmanship that I wanted to give it a try. I got my mom to get me a Calligraphy set/kit. I worked on it for a few weeks and then forgotten about it. This experience was so much different. I was actually dipping a pen into a jar of ink. All I need to do is stick a feather on the pen and I would be writing like Victorian era.

I am so glad that we are almost done with Winter and summer is just around the corner. It is time to put away the heavy coats, scarfs and mittens.

Now is the perfect time to prep my face for summer by using Trusted Health Products: Amazingly Beautiful AM / PM Moisturizer.

L’Occitane Pivoine Sublime and Pivoine Flora ~ #Review

I always get excited when I receive something from L’Occitane. They carry one of my favourite hand creams, the 20% shea butter hand cream. I also love their fragrances. The other day I was wearing one called the Cerisier Rouge, Eau Intense and someone actually commented to me how much they like the scent. I bet she would also like the Pivoine Flora scent if I wore it when I see her.

I Can't Live Without My Ecotools ~ #Review & #Giveaway

In case you have not noticed in my last few posts, I have mentioned about birthdays.  Yes, it is sad to say that my birthday has just passed but getting some EcoTools products as gifts would always brighten my day.

Ecotools is one of my favourite brands. I have been using them for almost two years now. I am still using the EcoTools Bath Sponge and the Large brush I received over a year ago. I even tried the Pure Complexion Sponge for Sensitive Skin last year. I love it so much that I used it so often that it fell apart. It was expected since I am supposed to replace it after every 1-3 months of using it. This time I had the chance to test the EcoTools Complexion Collection Mattifying Finish Brush, and compare Pure Complexion Facial Sponge for Sensitive Skin to the Deep Cleansing Facial Charcoal Sponge.
