Even though summer is hands-down my favourite season, fall has always been my top time to try new fashion and beauty looks. Whether it’s because I have more time indoors due to the change in weather or just that I tend to discover more fun beauty products and clothes to test, I love making the most of the season by rocking some new looks.

This year, the 2017 Best New Product Awards sent me an amazing bag featuring some of its winning products this year and I noticed right away that there were some beauty products that I’d love. If you’re looking for the best in new beauty items for fall, make sure to check out these five award winners chosen by Canadian shoppers just like you!

Jergens Moisturizer for Wet Skin

With two boys in school and a new baby in the house, just finding time to shower is a challenge. Finding time to put on moisturizer? Almost impossible! That’s why I love this innovative moisturizer. I just apply it quickly right after showering and before drying off to ensure soft skin. It’s one of those little beauty additions that instantly makes me feel as good as I look, and it’s especially important when dipping temperatures leave skin feeling drier. [Read more…]

March 10, 2015 by Kathryn 238 Comments

For over a year I’ve shared information about some of my very favourite P&G products and why those products are a must in my household. And thanks to my relationship with P&G Canada, I’ve learned so much about the work that goes into making the best and most effective products possible. Innovation has been a trademark characteristic of P&G products, from the development of odour-absorbing Febreze to the research and testing that lets Tide provide the best possible fabric cleaning.

Now that hard work from the scientist and researchers at P&G is being rewarded in a big way! In the recent 2015 BrandSpark consumer survey, twenty amazing P&G products received the coveted Canadian Living Best New Product award. From cosmetics and body wash to laundry detergent and toothpaste, it’s clear that I’m not the only one that thinks life is better with P&G in the house!

June 7, 2013 by Kathryn 2 Comments

Moms are amazing in so many ways, but there are some moms that go above and beyond to an extraordinary degree. Whether they balance a busy career as they are raising a thriving family or they devote countless hours to important causes while still caring for loved ones, there are hundreds of different ways a mom can stand out and become extraordinary.

Walmart Canada created the Mom of the Year Awards to honour those outstanding mothers in our lives and right now nominations are being accepted for the Second Annual Mom of the Year Awards. What I love so much about these awards is that they don’t just recognize the exceptional women in our lives; they also give those women the chance to recognize the causes they’re passionate about too. The Mom of the Year winner this year will receive $10,000 for herself and $100,000 to donate to her favourite charity!

Nominate a Mother You Know for the Walmart Canada Mom of the Year Award #MOTY

June 19, 2012 by Kathryn 5 Comments

I don’t think there’s any more amazing job than being a mother. It’s both the most difficult and the most rewarding task that a woman can undertake. But there are some women that take motherhood to a whole new level of awesomeness and honouring those women is just why the Walmart Canada Mom of the Year Award was created.

I have to admit that when I first heard about this fabulous new annual award from Walmart Canada, I had a hard time figuring out whom I might want to nominate for this award. I’m honoured to know so many amazing mothers and I couldn’t imagine choosing just one for something so special. But then one day I realized that I knew the perfect woman for this award after all; a woman that has been a mother not just to one or two, but to dozens of kids that were all in need of care, special attention and, most of all, love.
