New Parfum Berger Scented Bouquets Make a Great Holiday Hostess Gift-Giveaway

November 26, 2015 by Kathryn 82 Comments

With December just a few days away, I have the holiday season on my mind. I’ve already been shopping up a storm buying gifts for my nieces and nephews, my boys and my significant other. And when I went searching for the perfect hostess gift, Parfum Berger was ready to help! Lampe Berger Canada’s unique new line of home fragrances make a great gift for Mom, a favourite friend or the hostess at a holiday party. And I couldn’t wait to try out one of the Scented Bouquets for myself!

I received the Cube Scented Bouquet in the Amber Powder scent to review. I loved the classic clean look of the set and wasted no time in removing the plastic stopper and arranging the sticks in the bottle. The polymer sticks help the scent to diffuse into the room more evenly and as an added bonus, they give the Scented Bouquet a great modern style! [Read more…]

Air Wick® Life Scents™ Help Me Always Feel at Home

August 10, 2015 by Kathryn 28 Comments

I’ve spent almost my whole life in the same house in the same small town in Saskatchewan. And while I did live elsewhere for a few years in my early twenties, the house I lived in for my entire childhood always felt like home. Later, I was able to buy it from my mother and raise my own children there. I have to admit, I didn’t think I would ever live anywhere else.

But now change is afoot and in preparation for an upcoming move to Ontario, that childhood home has been sold. I know it won’t take long to feel at home in the house we will eventually buy after moving, especially once I have all my favourite knick-knacks and home décor items in place. But in the meantime, my home is a two-bedroom apartment in the small city of Moose Jaw. And as a woman that’s always lived in a town, I have to admit that it feels pretty strange.

So how did I make this new environment feel like home? Luckily, I had a few tricks up my sleeve to help me feel comfortable and at peace in the new environment! And the most important one for me was adding the scent of home to the air with Air Wick® Life Scents™. Featuring the first constantly changing fragrance, the true-to-life aromas have me feeling at home the second I walk through the door. [Read more…]

Add Scent Decor to Your Home with the New Unstopables Collection-Giveaway #PGMom

April 14, 2015 by Kathryn 172 Comments

While I’ve never been a big fan of strong scents, it only took one use for me to completely fall in love with the Lush version of Downy Unstopables when I tried adding the scent booster to my laundry. The light scent of vanilla and lavender was delicious and I especially liked using it when washing bed sheets. The aroma lasted for weeks after and definitely led to some blissful dreams!

Now the popular Unstopables scents have expanded into a new collection featuring Fabric Refresher, Air Effects, Scented Oil Warmers, Candles and, of course, the original In-Wash Scent Booster. And according to celebrity interior designer Nate Berkus, adding a signature scent to a room is one of the easiest ways to add extra elegance. Here are some tips from Nate on “scent decor.”

Mix and Match with Style

Breath some life into your home by playing with patterns, textures, colours and fragrances that inspire. Your space should be a reflection of who you are…adding scent brings it all together. [Read more…]

Charmed Aroma Candles Add Great Scent to the House with a Surprise Inside-Giveaway

May 29, 2014 by Kathryn 170 Comments

Candles are something that I loved when I was living alone in my twenties, but after I had children, I stopped using them for quite a while. I worried about my toddlers bumping into furniture containing lit candles and I decided that for the time being, candles just weren’t worth the risk.

Now my boys are older and the peaceful light and scent of a lit candle is something that I can enjoy once again. And Charmed Aroma recently sent me one of its innovative candles to help me “rekindle” my candle love. These candles come in a wide array of great scents and each one features a piece of jewellery worth between $10 and $5000! [Read more…]

November 27, 2013 by Kathryn 152 Comments

If there’s one laundry product I absolutely love, it’s Downy Unstopables. The sweet aroma it adds to my laundry is so appealing. The Fresh variety is my absolute favourite for towels and the Lush scent is heavenly to add to sheets and bedding. But now, Downy has a fun new way to add scent to clothes and fabrics and I couldn’t wait to test it out.

By combining Downy Infusions Fabric Softener with Downy Unstopables Scent Booster, I can create a special unique scent that will keep clothes smelling great for up to twelve weeks! I started by heading to the Downy website and finding my Scent Personality with the help of Amy, the “fortune smeller.” This little virtual personality test was so much fun, and I learned my love of Lush Downy Unstopables and Cashmere Glow Downy Infusions made me a Viva la Firecracker!
