Support Breast Cancer Awareness with Carpet One Welcome a Cure Mats-Giveaway

October 5, 2017 by Kathryn 117 Comments

Since 1985, October has been a month to help raise awareness and funds for those impacted by breast cancer. And this year, the month is especially meaningful to me. Less than two years ago, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after her 60th birthday. After surgery followed by months of painful treatment, she’s finally back to her energetic self again and, hopefully, cancer free.

Because I know how much the fundraising and support means to those with breast cancer, I love seeing the innovative ways that companies find to raise money for the cause. And this year, Carpet One Floor & Home is doing that with a beautiful designer set of Welcome a Cure welcome mats. [Read more…]

Treat Your Nails to New DS Raw Granite and the Pink of Hearts Duo from OPI-Giveaway

September 4, 2013 by Kathryn 149 Comments

Part of fall fashion for me is discovering trendy new nail colours and OPI has some great options available for women looking to update their look with a new polish. From two new Designer Series nail lacquers to the limited edition Pink of Hearts polish duo, there’s sure to be something for you from OPI this fall!

I received the new OPI DS polishes and Pink of Hearts set to review recently and I could hardly decide which shade to try first. The new Designer Series shades were gorgeous DS Raw Granite colours inspired by granite stone. DS Pewter is a grey and silver sparkling shade that would look great with almost any outfit. DS Lapis is a bold sparkling blue. Both colours feature a textured finish similar to the popular OPI Liquid Sand finish that is so incredibly popular.

Weaver’s Coffee Seasonal Astral Blend Supports Breast Cancer Research-Giveaway

March 26, 2013 by Kathryn 141 Comments

Last year I discovered the organic artisan coffee and tea from Weaver’s Coffee & Tea and I became an instant convert. These products are absolutely sublime; there’s really no other way to describe them. From the dark and rich Espresso Blend whole bean coffee to the fragrant and complex Mango Black tea, I fell in love with Weaver’s and the company’s commitment to providing only the best coffee and tea from organic, fair trade sources.

Recently, the company released its seasonal Astral Blend, a variety I had the chance to try last year as well. It has a very bright flavour and I found it to be perfect for that first cup of coffee in the morning. But this coffee isn’t just addictively delicious. It’s also coffee that supports a very important cause and it’s one of the reasons I’m such a passionate supporter of the Weaver’s brand.

KitchenAid Invites You to Support the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and Cook for the Cure this Holiday Season

December 20, 2012 by Kathryn 8 Comments

Christmas is a season of reconnecting with friends and family and visiting loved ones, but Christmas is also a season of giving and Cook for the Cure presented by KitchenAid has a brilliant way of combining those two concepts to help raise money for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. This innovative organization has been encouraging women to turn that ordinary dinner event or cocktail party into a Cook for the Cure party to help raise money for this worthy cause.

Simply let your guests know that instead of hosting that traditional annual Christmas Eve cocktail party or New Year’s bash, you’ll be having a Cook for the Cure party instead! It could be a regular casual gathering or you can get fancy and create a fun theme for your party to raise awareness and funds at the same time!

Recently I was invited to check out the Cook for the Cure website so I could see for myself exactly what was involved in hosting a Cook for the Cure party. It all starts with a quick and easy registration on the website. Not only does this provide a wealth of information for party planners, it also lets guests donate online if they prefer!

I loved the fact that the site gave me so many amazing tips for planning my own Cook for the Cure party. From recipes to party tips to photos of parties hosted by other women, there was plenty of inspiration available! I especially appreciated the tips on how to graciously request donations from guests. This is one of the things that I have a hard time doing, and the idea of requesting a donation in lieu of a hostess gift was an especially ingenious one to me. After all, having money go towards a worthy cause makes much more sense than getting another muffin tin or candleholder. [Read more…]
