Treat Skin to Gentle Nourishment with the Live Clean Fresh Face Collection-Giveaway

October 28, 2016 by Kathryn 137 Comments

The more my skin starts to mature, the more I need gentle, yet effective cleansing and moisturizing to keep it looking its best. Whether I’m on the go or lounging at home, taking care of my face is always a priority. That’s why I’m so happy that I discovered the Live Clean Fresh Face collection some time ago. The products are gentle, contain organic botanicals and are so effective for revealing skin’s radiance. In fact, the only skincare products I took on my recent two-week trip to Ireland were the ones in the Live Clean Fresh Face travel collection.

So, what makes this skincare line so great? For one thing, it provides thorough cleansing, nourishing moisture and protection against the elements, all without leaving skin feeling greasy or weighed down. Since I get hormonal breakouts, a good lightweight cleanser is a must for me and the Live Clean Fresh Face Foaming Cleanser is ideal. I love the way the foam provides a deep clean without drying out my skin.

A few months ago, I took my makeup kit with me to a movie set for a bit part I was playing. When the shooting was done, I quickly packed all my gear and headed back to Moose Jaw. I didn’t realize until reaching home that my makeup had been left behind and when I learned of the loss, I was devastated. I’m picky about makeup and had assembled my collection of favourites after years of work.

Every Woman Can Be Ageless with Help from Olay-Giveaway #PGMom

January 18, 2016 by Kathryn 191 Comments

It used to be fairly common for women to dread some of the major age milestones in their lives, whether it was the experience of saying goodbye to young adulthood when turning thirty or officially entering “old age” when turning sixty. But for years now that attitude has been shifting and personally, I couldn’t be happier about it. In fact, 90% of Canadian women believe that age will continue to become less and less relevant to them as time progresses. And that’s the motivation behind the new Olay Ageless campaign. While there may be some aspects of our lives that act as “age giveaways,” feeling young is what’s truly important to today’s women!

On a recent trip to Mexico, I learned that my boys were a bit of an age giveaway for me. When giving a business card to someone on a press trip, a fellow blogger noticed my blog name. “You’re a mother?” he exclaimed in surprise. I said that yes, I had two boys that were (at the time) eight and five. “You must have had them very young,” he said. He was even more surprised when he learned that I hadn’t, and was actually 34 years old. Talk about an ego boost! [Read more…]

Keep Your Skin Looking Better for Longer with the Le Mieux Skin Perfecter-Giveaway

July 27, 2015 by Kathryn 209 Comments

Considering I’m in my mid-thirties, I’m pretty pleased with my looks so far. While I have a few more wrinkles than I did in my twenties, my skin is still quite smooth and has fairly even tone. But I know that I need to be proactive if I want to keep my skin looking great in the coming years, and that’s why I was so excited when I got the chance to review the Skin Perfecter by Le Mieux.

This device is a 4-in-1 multitasking hero that cleanses, exfoliates, extracts and infuses using ultrasonic vibrations. It sounded similar to a home microdermabrasion device at first, but when it arrived I realized that it was something quite different. I charged up the sleek handheld unit and got ready to test it out!

I have to say that with any new skincare device, the potential sensation it might create during use is at the top of my mind. I couldn’t help but be a little hesitant as I first touched my skin with the metal end of the Skin Perfecter since I wasn’t sure how it was going to feel. There was just a slight vibration as the device moved over my face and I have to admit that it was hard to believe the Skin Perfecter was doing anything.

Nourish Your Skin Gently with the New Live Clean Fresh Face Collection-Giveaway

October 16, 2014 by Kathryn 211 Comments

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of the naturally sourced skin, hair and body care products from Live Clean. And part of the reason I love the brand so much is that it’s always coming up with new innovations. The recently launched Live Clean Fresh Face collection is a perfect example and I received three of the new products to test out for myself recently.

Skincare is something I’ve struggled with for years. On the one hand, being in my thirties means that I need products that moisturize and protect my face. On the other hand, hormonal acne breakouts mean that I still need products that are gentle on my face and won’t clog pores. The new Live Clean Fresh Face products combine the best of both worlds with their hypoallergenic formula made with plant-based ingredients.
