Celebrate Canada’s Unique Beauty with New AirWick Canadian Park Series Fragrances

June 29, 2015 by Kathryn 23 Comments

I’ve lived in a small town in the Saskatchewan prairies for my entire life and no matter where the future takes me, I’m sure that the lush Qu’Appelle Valley and the endless farmland fields will always feel like home. But while I may have always lived in the same small town (and even in the same house), I’ve had the opportunity to see so much more of Canada over the years. I’ll always be a Saskatchewan woman at heart, but being Canadian means so much more to me.

In fact, since I was a child, I’ve loved the mountains and forests of British Columbia almost as much as I love the fields of Saskatchewan. My mother was raised in B.C. and most of her family still calls the province home. As a youngster, road trips to visit my aunts, uncles and cousins were a must every summer. And while connecting with family was fabulous, the landscape was just as wonderful to me. On every trip we used to spend at least a few days camping on the private family beach. Waking up to go for a swim in the crystal clear lake and then wandering the forest picking wild blackberries is one of my fondest memories.

As I grew older, I had the chance to see a different side of Canada as well: the urban side! Saskatchewan is very much a rural province and I remember how shocked I was to learn that the population of the city of Toronto was 2.5 times bigger than my entire home province! While the number of people in the city overwhelmed me at first, I soon fell in love with the art and culture of the city. The diversity of Toronto is like a living testament to the diversity of Canada itself! [Read more…]

Go Below the Surface with the Bissell ReadyClean Deep Cleaner and Enter to Win a Scuba Diving Adventure

April 19, 2012 by Kathryn 5 Comments

It’s spring-cleaning time and if your carpets are in need of a good refresher, Bissell is ready to help you out! I love Bissell products and I’ve been given the chance to test out quite a few of them in the past. To help you discover which Bissell products are best for you, the company is showcasing a different product every week and this week the spotlight is on the Bissell ReadyClean Deep Cleaner! I was lucky enough to get to test it out for myself and I couldn’t wait.

bissell readycleanThe ReadyClean is Bissell’s most lightweight and portable full-sized upright deep cleaner. I was so glad to see that it weighed less than twelve pounds; my husband’s bad back means that using anything too heavy starts to cause him pain after a few minutes. This clever deep cleaner didn’t cause that problem! Like all Bissell products, assembly took mere minutes and the only tool we needed was a Philips Head Screwdriver. Once the machine was assembled, we filled the tank with hot water and Bissell formula and went to work!

The machine used a simple trigger system to clean the carpet. First my husband pushed the machine forward and back while holding the trigger held down to saturate the carpet. Then he moved the unit over the same area with the trigger released to remove the water and dirt from the carpet. He repeated the action until the water coming out of the carpet was clean.

Using the Bissell ReadyClean Deep Cleaner was quick, easy and effective. There were one or two tough spots that I took care of afterwards with my Bissell spot cleaner, but the rest of the carpet looked absolutely fabulous after just a few passes of the machine. And considering our carpet is more than thirty years old and desperately needs to be replaced, that’s pretty impressive!

bissell readyclean in useBissell is an expert at going below the surface for a deep clean and right now the company is holding a fabulous Facebook contest to give you the chance to go below the surface on a once-in-a-lifetime scuba diving adventures for two in the Bahamas! To enter to win, visit the Bissell Canada Facebook page and use the app to analyze your carpet. Not only will you get the chance to win an amazing prize, you’ll also get some great recommendations about what Bissell products are best for your floor!

I’m so happy to have a deep cleaner that can tackle the mess created by my family so quickly and easily. The ReadyClean is the perfect choice for our household; it’s lightweight, easy to use and does a great job of lifting out the dirt and grime that’s embedded in our carpet. If your carpets are in need of a spring-cleaning, check out this great deep cleaner and enjoy fresh, clean carpeting in a flash. And don’t forget to enter to win an amazing scuba diving adventure too!
