Keep Your Skin Looking Better for Longer with the Le Mieux Skin Perfecter-Giveaway

July 27, 2015 by Kathryn 209 Comments

Considering I’m in my mid-thirties, I’m pretty pleased with my looks so far. While I have a few more wrinkles than I did in my twenties, my skin is still quite smooth and has fairly even tone. But I know that I need to be proactive if I want to keep my skin looking great in the coming years, and that’s why I was so excited when I got the chance to review the Skin Perfecter by Le Mieux.

This device is a 4-in-1 multitasking hero that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and infuses using ultrasonic vibrations. It sounded similar to a home microdermabrasion device at first, but when it arrived I realized that it was something quite different. I charged up the sleek handheld unit and got ready to test it out!

I have to say that with any new skincare device, the potential sensation it might create during use is at the top of my mind. I couldn’t help but be a little hesitant as I first touched my skin with the metal end of the Skin Perfecter since I wasn’t sure how it was going to feel. There was just a slight vibration as the device moved over my face and I have to admit that it was hard to believe the Skin Perfecter was doing anything.

Reverse the Signs of Aging With NeriumAD Age Defying Night Cream-Giveaway

April 17, 2014 by Kathryn 151 Comments

I’ve become a lot more proactive about my skincare routine in the last few years. I was terrible about taking care of my skin in my twenties and that neglect has finally started to catch up with me in my thirties. Recently I managed to really commit to a skin routine and now that I’m starting to see such great improvements, I wanted to step it up even more by adding a great multitasking product to my skincare regime that would help fight aging and smooth my skin tone even more.

NeriumAD Age Defying Night Cream is said to do just that, and recently I was given a chance to test out this all-in-one skincare product for myself to see what I thought. The product has been getting a lot of attention lately for its promise of real results including minimized wrinkles and improved skin tone and texture. In fact, some people use nothing but NeriumAD once a day on their skin. I decided that I would combine it with my current skincare regime and see how I liked it.

Ice Age: Continental Drift Sails Onto Blu-ray and DVD December 11-Giveaway

December 6, 2012 by Kathryn 157 Comments

On December 11, 2012, just in time for Christmas gift giving, Ice Age: Continental Drift will be released on Blu-ray and DVD and my boys couldn’t wait to see what adventures Manny the Mammoth and his friends experienced in the new movie. So they were delighted when I received a screener copy of the film to review. Here’s a brief synopsis:

Sub-zero heroes Manny, Diego, and Sid embark upon a high-seas adventure after their continent is set adrift. Using an iceberg as a ship, they encounter sea creatures and battle pirates as they try to reunite with their herd. In the wake of these upheavals, Sid reunites with his cantankerous Granny, and the herd encounters a ragtag menagerie of seafaring pirates determined to stop them from returning home.

This movie, like the previous Ice Age films, is one I can immediately appreciate because it features enough subtle adult humour to be entertaining for me, a plot that my school-aged son could enjoy and lots of funny slapstick moments that my youngest son found hilarious. It’s not always easy to find a movie that my boys and I all love, but this was definitely one of those films that truly embrace the concept of family entertainment. And because the movie really celebrates the bond between father and daughter, 20th Century Fox has some great tips for a fun-filled “Daddy and Me” time. [Read more…]
