Despite spending most of my time at home, I do have a bit of a passion for fashion and there’s nothing I love more than the chance to dress up. Whether I’m enjoying drinks and appetizers with a group of local ladies or a fun dinner out with a close friend, if I’m going out, I dress up! After all, as a work-from-home mom, it’s not something I get the chance to do too often otherwise.

If there’s one laundry product I absolutely love, it’s Downy Unstopables. The sweet aroma it adds to my laundry is so appealing.

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 love keeping my style fresh and fashion-forward, but spending my day taking care of two active boys doesn’t always make that easy. I start the day looking and feeling great, but chances are before the day is over I’ve had to clean up multiple messes and quite possibly had something spilled on me. So as much as I might want to wear my favourite Burberry skirt some days, it’s just not a sensible choice for a mom of two messy boys.

Luckily for me, Tide Pods have partnered with Kimberley Newport-Mimran, the woman behind Canada’s iconic fashion brand Pink Tartan, to create a fresh and stylish new line that even the busiest mom can embrace. The new Washable collection combines modern style and washable fabric so that women can look great without worrying about ruining their wardrobe! Need some tips for looking great even on the go? Here are three of Kimberley’s top style tips for busy women:

Timeless pieces are always in fashion

By choosing pieces you can wear season after season, you’ll also increase the lifespan of your wardrobe. To keep my washable pieces looking their best, I launder with Tide Pods – an item every woman needs to have in her fabric care arsenal. [Read more…]
