Strengthen Hair with the New Live Clean Exotic Vitality Polynesian Collection-Giveaway

At 32, I know that it probably won’t belong before I start seeing streaks of grey in my long brown hair. I’ve decided that when that day comes, I will have a lot of fun dying my hair all kinds of vibrant colours, but for the moment I want to enjoy my natural colour while I can. So I am always on the lookout for products that will nourish and strengthen my locks so that my hair looks its best.

I have used Live Clean hair care for a few months now and I love the eco-friendly plant based formulas designed to provide salon-quality results. Recently I received the new Live Clean Exotic Vitality Polynesian Collection and it looked like the perfect hair care choice for a woman that craves long, strong, shiny hair.

Choose Your Favourite Way to Feed Your Baby with Earth’s Best Jars and Pouches-Giveaway

One of the wonderful things about being a parent these days is the incredible amount of choice that we have when raising our children. Parents can choose between disposable and cloth diapering, silicone or wood teething toys and jars or pouches of baby food. Which ones are best for a family depends on the needs of both the baby and the parent but luckily, there are plenty of varieties of all these products available in North America.

earth's best organic apples baby foodEarth’s Best baby food is the perfect example. With over 90 varieties of jarred baby food and 35 varieties of pouches, there are sure to be plenty of flavours your baby loves no matter which product you prefer. And all Earth’s Best baby food is made with natural, certified organic fruits and vegetables so that you can give your baby nourishing meals either way!

Personally, I absolutely love the Earth’s Best pouches not just for baby food but for smoothies and fruit purees for older children as well. For the longest time my three-year-old refused to eat pouches of fruit puree, but my six-year-old loved them! The pouches are so incredibly convenient for taking out of the house and squeezing out a serving of food for a baby is so easy too! [Read more...]

Burt’s Bees Has New Glosses, Shines and Balms for Luscious Lips-Giveaway

There’s nothing better than soft, kissable lips and this spring, Burt’s Bees Canada has released a fabulous line of lip glosses and balms in fresh spring shades that will help nourish and moisturize your pout! Recently I received the new Burt’s Bees Lip Shine, Lip Gloss and one of the four new shades of Tinted Lip Balm to review. Burt’s Bees lip balm is an absolute essential in my purse so I was excited to see if the new balms and glosses impressed me as much.

I received Burt’s Bees Lip Gloss in Ocean Sunrise, Lip Shine in Wink and Tinted Lip Balm in Blush Orchid. All three shades were variations of light pink, which is one of my favoured lip shades, and I loved the sparkle in the Lip Gloss especially.

Squishy Snak Pak Pouches Make Eco-Friendly Lunches Easier-Giveaway

squishy snak pakMy boys absolutely love fruit puree pouches. These convenient sealed pouches first appeared as an alternative to the glass jar from baby food companies, but older children loved the squeezable pouches so much that it wasn’t long before companies started creating fruit snack pouches especially designed for older children too! Zackary and Benjamin both love eating applesauce and other fruit purees this way and I like it too since it’s less messy and I don’t have to worry about packing a spoon in their lunches!

When Michelle from Squishy Snak Pak contacted me about reviewing her unique refillable pouches, I was intrigued. Having a refillable version of the snack pouches my boys loved wouldn’t just be an eco-friendlier option; it would be less expensive as well. I received a set of two Squishy Snak Pak pouches to review and I couldn’t wait to see how they worked. [Read more...]
