Why a Pearle Vision Eye Exam Should Be Part of Every Child’s Back-to-School Preparations

August 3, 2017 by Kathryn 31 Comments

Before I met my husband, I was a little lax about my boys’ eye exams. Even though I had heard it was important that children have yearly exams, living in a small town made booking appointments tricky and both boys did so well in school that I was confident their eyes were fine.

But when my glasses-wearing husband scheduled his own eye exam last year, I decided the timing was perfect to have both boys get their exams as well, though I fully expected them both to pass with flying colours. Imagine my shock when the optometrist announced my oldest would benefit from glasses for schoolwork and reading! And my experience was by no means unique; a recent survey found that one in four children have an undiagnosed vision problem.

3 Things I Didn’t Know About Lash Extensions

January 23, 2017 by Kathryn 16 Comments

I’ve always thought that my blogger friend Randa of The Bewitchin’ Kitchen has gorgeous eyes. And when we attended a Carnival Cruise press trip together, I found out why. Randa is a big fan of eyelash extensions. And when I saw how they made her eyes pop, I wanted to try them too. So recently I took the plunge and got my very own luscious lashes. I love them, but they were definitely a learning experience. Here are three things I didn’t know about lash extensions:

1) They Take a LOT of Time

The reason lash extensions look so thick and dramatic is because every natural lash, even the littlest ones, get an extension carefully glued into place to make them longer and thicker. This process involves tweezers, a magnifying glass, lash extensions in a variety of different sizes and literal hours of work. When I went for my first set, I confidently told my husband that I was sure I’d be home in an hour or so. Over three hours later, my appointment was finally over. The results last for two to three weeks before you need a shorter “fill” appointment and up to four weeks if you just leave them to wear off, but be prepared to spend a good chunk of your day getting glamtastic!

Add Natural Drama to Your Eyes with Younique 3D Fiber Lashes-Giveaway

November 11, 2014 by Kathryn 109 Comments

I didn’t wear makeup very often in my younger years, and when I did I wasn’t very good at applying it. But over the last five years or so I’ve found a few products that I absolutely love for the way they enhance my features while still looking natural. I’ve officially become a cosmetics convert, but there’s one product I’ve never been able to get excited about using even when I want a dramatic night look, and that’s fake lashes.

I’ve tried fake lashes on a few different occasions and I generally find that they make my eyes look almost unnaturally heavy. I can also often feel them when I blink my eyes, which is a very disconcerting sensation. That’s why I was so excited to try Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes. This best-selling product promises the long, luscious look that fake lashes provide, without actually requiring fake lashes. Kristen, a Younique Independent Presenter, very generously offered me the chance to test out the product for myself and I couldn’t wait.
