April 24, 2015 by Kathryn 265 Comments

Believe it or not, it’s almost Mother’s Day and if you’re wondering what to get for your mother, you’re not alone! Every year I find that shopping for my mom gets harder and harder, because there’s really not much that she needs. But this year, shopping got a whole lot easier because any woman is sure to love the fragrances, fine food and bath products from Crabtree & Evelyn!

I recently received the Citron, Honey & Coriander Deluxe Gift to check out for myself and it is absolutely gorgeous. The large beautiful gift box is a useful item in itself for holding important papers or trinkets, and inside are five full-sized Crabtree & Evelyn products in the luscious Citron, Honey & Coriander scent. With Skin Cleansing Bath & Shower Gel, Skin Quenching Body Lotion, Ultra-moisturizing Hand Therapy, Skin Smoothing Body Scrub and Petal Pink Nail Lacquer, it’s got everything a woman needs for smooth skin and healthy hands this spring!

I have incredibly soft skin and it’s something that I want to maintain for as long as possible. So I’m quite proactive about making sure that my skin stays healthy and moisturized. Unfortunately, living in Saskatchewan and dealing with its harsh winter weather, that can be difficult to do! This winter was an especially hard one, but it’s finally come to a close and now that it has, I want to step up my beauty routine and ensure that I’m ready to bare a little skin this summer!

Healthy skin is something that I achieve in two simple steps: exfoliating and moisturizing. For exfoliation, I often make my own body scrub using kosher salt or sea salt, olive oil and essential oil. It works great and leaves my skin so smooth. And best of all, it takes just minutes to make! [Read more…]

Elizabeth Arden Makes it Easy to Look Great this Winter with #MyArdenFavs

December 18, 2013 by Kathryn 34 Comments

Every woman has a few makeup must-haves in her purse and recently I learned about some of the products that Elizabeth Arden’s Global Makeup Artist Rebecca Restrepo never leaves at home once the weather gets chilly. From nourishing cosmetics to skincare solutions, she had chosen a few products that every woman should keep on hand. Rebecca has great taste so I was pretty excited when Elizabeth Arden asked me to choose three of Rebecca’s faves and share what makes them favourites for me too!

I need a product that provides great coverage but still looks natural in any light. I loved the Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish concealer because it was creamy and blended easily into my skin while still providing great coverage of the scars that annoy me so much. For a flawless look, I just applied my foundation first over my entire face, dotted concealer on problem areas and blended it gently. [Read more…]
