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…]

Nominate a Mom You Know for the Second Annual Walmart Mom of the Year Awards

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!

Which Worthy Woman will be Walmart Canada’s First Every Mom of the Year? #MOTY

September 24, 2012 by Kathryn 4 Comments

A few months ago I wrote about the launch of Walmart Canada’s first annual Mom of the Year award. This fabulous new program honours those moms that go above and beyond both for their children and for their community. After almost 17,000 nominations, the eight finalists have been chosen and soon one very special mom will receive $100,000 for her chosen charity and the honour of being the very first Mom of the Year!

I headed over to the Mom of the Year website to read through the finalists’ posts and I have to say, I do not envy the judges that have to choose just one of these amazing women to receive the title of Mom of the Year. From Katie Schulz, a dedicated mother and champion at raising awareness and funds for Cystic Fibrosis Canada to Olivine Bernatchez, a woman whose passion for volunteering earned her a medal from the Lieutenant Governor and who continues to give her time to others at 84 years of age, these women truly do embody selflessness, passion and dedication to the causes that are important to them.
