Yves Rocher So Elixir Bois Sensuel ~ #Review #Giveaway

Perfume is usually one  of my go to gift ideas for my mom because she actually uses them.  There are people who collect perfume, changes frequently depending on mood or season, and some would actually wear it until the very last drop.  My mom fits in the second category.  Her birthday is this weekend and I always choose perfume as a part of her gift.  She wears them everyday and I know she would love to wear Yves Rocher So Elixir Bois Sensuel Eau De Parfum.

Vichy Normaderm Cleansing Mattifying Foam Cleanser ~ #VichyWorksForMe

Knock on wood but the past few weeks I have not had a break out.  It is really annoying that I am past my teenage years and I still get acne.  It is as if my skin and hormones forget how old I am.  My daughter has a few more years until she hits the double digits and I will have a fountain of information knowledge that could help with acne when and if it hits her.  Lately I have been using the awesome Vichy Normaderm Cleansing Mattifying Foam Cleanser.

Coconut Products Must Haves ~ #Review & #Giveaway

I don't know why but ever since I like the taste and smell of coconut it has become one of my weakness.  It started when my mom introduced me to Baskin Robbin's pineapple and coconut ice cream - it was love at first taste.  If you try it now it will taste abit different than back in the 80s.  It was not very popular until now - there is a boom of coconut crazy people like myself.  If you mention coconut you can bet I will be right beside it.  If you like coconut I bet you will like the following products too.

• X3 Coconut Lip Balm
• inecto Naturals coconut hand & nail cream
• Montagne Jeunesse Creamy Coconut masque

#LovableLabelsTurns12

I have been using Lovable Labels for close to 7 years now, since when my daughter started going to her day care.  When I had my second child you can guess where I purchased more labels from.  My co-worker and I both agree how much we love Lovable Labels.  They stay on forever until you peel it off and I stick them on everything that goes to the school.

Facts on the New ORPP ~ #Life

If you are living in Ontario I think you should know that our Ontario government is rolling out the carpet for the new ORPP (Ontario Retirement Pension Plan).  The information I am providing just highlight some important information.  Please visit the website for more detailed information.

Why?
Not enough people are saving for retirement.
Companies no longer offer pension plans.

When?
It will be introduce starting 2017.

How?
Employees and employers will each contribute an equal amount, capped at 1.9% on annual earnings up to $90,000.  Anything above $90,000 (in 2014 dollars) will be exempted.

Examples:
If you make $45,000 a year, you will receive an additional $6,410 per year for life on top of your OAS and CPP.
If you make $70,000 a year, you will receive an additional $9,970 per year for life on top of your OAS and CPP

The amount you will receive from ORPP will depend on how long you contribute and your salary during those period.

PayPal introduces PayPal.Me ~ #Review

PayPal is much more advanced since I used it over 5 years ago when I was helping a charity collect donations.  More and more online are using PayPal.  Before, I would only notice I was only able to use credit cards to purchase online.  That caused a few headaches for some when someone couldn't get a credit card.  Now I noticed that I don't even need to link my PayPal account to my bank account.  I could just connect it only to my visa if I wanted to.

The Healthy Shopper Has Discovered a Smarter Soft Drink Swap - Zevia! ~ #Review

I am a huge pop drinker.  I would drink 4-5 cans a day during the weekend.  If you ever look at the calories content there is about 250 calories in each can.  I stick with diet with no calories.  I rather make my calories count.  I rather eat than drink it.

Yves Rocher Botanical Colour Nail Polish ~ #Review & #Giveaway

My daughters and I love to paint our nails.  Whenever we have a free weekend to ourselves I paint all our nails.  I have used Yves Rocher nail polishes in the past and they are OK but I noticed this year's collection it is 100X better.  I noticed that it is much easier to apply the nail polish on my nails and I love the colour selection.  They have many colours I would love to add to my collection.  There are over 50 new colours to choose from.  They have normal, shimmer, glittery, and gel effect nail polishes.  The colour are vibrant and the texture is great for nail art.

Celebrate Global Handwashing Day with Dial Hand Soap ~ #Review

I am always yelling at my kids to wash their hands.  It bugs me to find my stuff getting all sticky and greasy because my kids forgets to wash their hands.  Cooler weather is already here and it also means germs will be on the rise.  I am constantly bugging them to wash their hands and one of their favourites are the Dial Foaming Hand Soaps.

Laneige Water Bank Serum ~ #Review #VoxBox #lovingLANEIGE

I was so excited to receive a full sized sample of Laneige in my VoxBox.  Laneige is made in Korea. Koreans are know to invest alot on their skin.  As you know, I have been trying a lot of Asian beauty products and now they are hitting your local Sephora stores.  They have a large range of both cosmetics and skin care products.  I think the Canadian Sephora currently only have some of their skin care and a few cosmetics.  In my VoxBox I received Laneige Water Bank Serum.

Halloween Has Arrived at Hallmark ~ #Review #LoveHallmarkCA #Giveaway

September just flew by and now Halloween is just around the corner.  My co-worker has already bought her kids their Halloween costumes and I have no idea what my kids want to be this year.  If you are looking to decorate your place for Halloween, look no further.  Check them out at your local Hallmark for this year's new hot items you have to have this year.

NCircle Entertainment Doozer DVD ~ #Review & #Giveaway

If you grew up in the 80s, you would remember watching the infamous Jim Henson's creations on Sesame Street, The Muppets, and Fraggle Rock.  It was sad when it was announced he passed away in 1990 but his creations still carry on.  When NCircle Entertainement sent some Doozer DVDs I didn't remember where I had seen them before.  I had to do a google search and realized they are from Fraggle Rock.  They live underground with the Fraggles and are always working and building.
