Quo Cosmetics Must Haves Back to School Products ~ #Review #Giveaway

My girls are getting excited to go back to school.  I do remember the excitement of getting back to see all your old friends, making new ones, and of course just a little bit closer to get that piece of paper with your name on it.  Back to school shopping has always been my favourite time to go shopping for new stationary, clothes, and even makeup. We all want to look our best on our first day back.  Quo has some fantastic items that are worth checking out.

Iogo Nano Yogurt Tubes Back to School ~ #Review #readysetnano

I miss those days when I didn't have to worry about my kids lunches.  Back then when my kids were at the day care all their breakfast, snacks, and lunches were all provided for.  Even this year's summer camp, they provided hot lunches.  Now, it is back to our regular routine were I have to think what I should pack up for my daughter's lunch bags. A great idea is iogo nano yogurt tubes.

Kiehl's Super Fluid UV Mineral Defense Titanium Dioxide Sunscreen SPF 50+ & Precision Lifting & Pores Tightening Concentrate cream ~ #Review

There are two Kiehl's products I was very excited to try this summer.  First I tried the Super Fluid UV Mineral Defense Titanium Dioxide Sunscreen SPF 50+.   I don't know how many times I stress wearing sunscreen everyday.  Sun damage can lead to wrinkles, brown spots, and unappealing leathery skin.  It can also cause first degree burns - sunburns which affects the first layer of skin.  You need to apply even it is cloudy.  UVA/B rays goes even through cloudy days.  Over the years, sunscreen have improved over the years to make it more light weight, non greasy, and odorless.

Kanex Carries Must Haves Cool Gadgets ~ #Review #Giveaway

I can't believe my kids will be back at school in a few short weeks.  I have always found my summer goes very fast when I have it all planned out.  I know a few co-workers' kids are heading back to university and I can't really tell if they are sad or happy about it.  If you are going to send off your kids with a package I would recommend packing a few products from Kanex.


Kanex Go Buddy Review Giveaway



I am always annoyed if I am at work and I don't have my USB charger.  I am always hunting down a co-worker who has one so I can charge my phone, my tablet or my Kobo.  After awhile I have decided to leave a charger at work.  I got tired of finding myself at a jam and seeing my phone or tablet going to an endless sleep until I could charge it again.  Sometimes it wouldn't be until the end of day and if I am not reachable in case of an emergency, someone is going to freak out on me.

Kanex Dual Port Car Charger

Kanex has some pretty amazing products that I think many of you would love.  Check out Kanex Dual Port Car Charger.  This is a must have if you are going on a road trip or one or more passengers has an iphone, ipad, or an ipod.  In all the car rentals I have driven, there is only one car charger.  Usually I am the only one who is driving so I am always using the car charger.  Now my daughter is always taking her ipad with her, we cant charge at the same time until now.  Kanex Dual Port Car Charger also comes with two lightning/usb cables.

Kanex Go Buddy

Sometimes I would need to take my wall charger and lightning/usb cable on the go.  I hate it when the cables gets all tangle up.  The Kanex Go Buddy solves my problem.  It retracts into the key chain so you can take it where ever you go.  The key chain is also a bottle opener.  I think this might be invented by a beer lover.  This would come handy since I don't know how to open a beer bottle without the opener.

Kanex Wall Charger Review Giveaway


I love taking my Kanex Wall Charger with me.  The plug flips down and it said it charges twice as fast as 1.0 AMP.  I guess that is true since I didn't have to wait long for my phone to power up.  It also comes in 6 great colours.

Kanex MiColor Duo Micro USB + Lightning/USB cable Review Giveaway


The MiColor Duo Micro USB + Lightning/USB cable is by far my favourite Kanex product I am reviewing.  I have both an ipod and a Kobo.  Both uses two different cables.  I hate hunting down which cable I am looking for.   The MiColor has both in one cable.  The lightning cable to charge my ipod is on top.  Then when I need to use the Micro USB for my Kobo I just unplug the lightning.  Easy Peasy.  This would reduce all those extra wires and I would never loose the lightning piece because it is always attached to the wire.  This is my coolest gadgets I have and love to show this off.  I can't wait for this to become potable like the Go Buddy.

Kanex is available in many stores like Staples, London Drugs, Best Buy, and on their website Kanex.com

Testing out The Body Shop: British Rose Body Care & lips and cheek stains ~ #Review

I have been using The Body Shop products as long as I remember when they first opened in my local mall. They are always launching new products and scents.  During one of the events I attended, someone didn't even know The Body Shop has their own makeup line.  This shows you that The Body Shop has many great products and they have something for everyone.

Dove Regenerative Nourishment Collection ~ #Review #Giveaway

I don't usually use hair products that are not hydrating.  If I don't, my hair will feel like straw. Some days I wonder if am related to the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz.  One of the reasons why my hair is dry is because I occasionally dye my hair or use a hair dryer or a curler.  The heat just zaps up the moisture in my hair.  But I think it is just naturally dry.   It means I have to use a very hydrating conditioner and leave in hair products after a shower.  Meet the new Dove Hydrating trio team - Shampoo, Conditioner, and Serum to help protect my hair from damages.

Bioderma Summer Essentials ~ #Review #Giveaway

This summer has been hot.  There have been many days that I had to sleep downstairs to keep myself cool.  My daughters so far are enjoying their camp and spending time with family.  Summer is short since there are only weeks left before I have to truck the girls back to school.  My summer is usually hot and humid.  I can stand the heat but not the humidity.  My makeup takes a toll and my skin feels gross.

Real Techniques Cleansing Gel and the Brush Cleansing Palette ~ #Review #Giveaway

Over the years I have been using Real Techniques brushes and there is no way I could live without them.  They have become a staple in my makeup bag and I never leave home without them or I would most likely freak out.  There is no way I could apply makeup without one of my favourite brushes and they are used almost everyday.

Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation ~ #Review

I hardly leave the house without foundation on.  I have been using full coverage foundation for the past 5 years. I have oily skin, large pores, and uneven skin tone.  I look terrible without makeup on.  In a few weeks I will be finished my current foundation and looking to try a new one.  Maybelline Dream Velvet Foundation launched earlier this year and I was surprised how much I love it.
