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.

Reverse the Signs of Aging With NeriumAD Age Defying Night Cream-Giveaway

April 17, 2014 by Kathryn 151 Comments

I’ve become a lot more proactive about my skincare routine in the last few years. I was terrible about taking care of my skin in my twenties and that neglect has finally started to catch up with me in my thirties. Recently I managed to really commit to a skin routine and now that I’m starting to see such great improvements, I wanted to step it up even more by adding a great multitasking product to my skincare regime that would help fight aging and smooth my skin tone even more.

NeriumAD Age Defying Night Cream is said to do just that, and recently I was given a chance to test out this all-in-one skincare product for myself to see what I thought. The product has been getting a lot of attention lately for its promise of real results including minimized wrinkles and improved skin tone and texture. In fact, some people use nothing but NeriumAD once a day on their skin. I decided that I would combine it with my current skincare regime and see how I liked it.

Beaches Resorts – An Unforgettable Adventure for Adults #BeachesMoms

January 23, 2014 by Kathryn 60 Comments

I’ve mentioned that my boys are always in my mind when planning a vacation, but of course, I want to have fun too! So while activities for kids may be a big part of my consideration when travelling, I also want plenty of adult entertainment and activities. And on my family’s recent trip to Beaches Negril in beautiful Jamaica, I experienced the full scope of the more mature activities that the resort has to offer.

Relax at the Spa

The luxurious Red Lane Spa is a haven for any parent that just needs to unwind. Featuring a full range of spa services including massages, facials, manicures, pedicures and more, it’s such a great way to enjoy a little pampering while the kids are having fun at Kids Camp! And for a little mom and daughter bonding, the Red Lane Spa has recently introduced the new Ginger Lily spa menu offering special parent/child spa treatments!

I had the chance to experience one of the new treatments for myself and since I knew I’d be heading back to harsh winter weather soon enough, I decided to indulge in the Front Porch Punch Shea Butter Massage. The mango, melon and strawberry scented Shea butter lotion left my skin so velvety smooth and the massage had me feeling even more relaxed than I had when I first stepped onto the resort. For a totally sensual treat, a trip to the Red Lane Spa is an absolute must when at a Beaches Resort!

Celebrate Canada with the New ROYALE Inspire Us Facial Tissue Collection-Giveaway

October 7, 2013 by Kathryn 127 Comments

One of the things that I love about Canada is its diversity. Just like its citizens, the landscape is full of change and variety, from my own home province of prairie fields to the towering mountains of British Columbia to the lush greenery of the Eastern coast. And this year ROYALE is celebrating that diversity with the Inspire Us collection.

This iconic line of facial tissue is comprised of nature photographs from eight different photographers, whose photos were chosen from among 9100 entries by members of the Moment with ROYALE community. Not only did the talented photographers earn national recognition, each was also awarded a $1500 cash prize! The complete collection is a stunning example of Canada’s beauty and I was delighted when I received the full line of facial tissue to help adorn my house with beautiful Canadian flowers and landscapes.

Treat Your Skin to a Better Clean with the ToiletTree Professional Skin Care System-Giveaway

March 4, 2013 by Kathryn 96 Comments

My skin and I have been in a love/hate relationship ever since I was a teenager. When it looks good, it looks really good. But when it starts to break out, it seems to just get worse and worse for weeks. It drives me crazy! So when ToiletTree Products, a company whose Fogless Shower Mirror and Toiletry Travel Bag I’ve featured on Mommy Kat and Kids in the past, contacted me about reviewing its new Professional Skin Care System, I knew I had to try it out.

toilettree skin care system I’ve always been fascinated by the concept of facial brushes. There are a few different brands on the market and the basic idea is that the gentle scrubbing will help stimulate cell regeneration while using the brush instead of hands will minimize the dirt and oil that is spread around the face and provide a deeper, more thorough clean. The ToiletTree Professional Skin Care System was unique in a few different ways. First of all, it actually included four different brush heads: a gentle facial brush for cleansing, a medium facial brush for exfoliating, a large soft brush for cleansing the body and a pumice attachment for feet and rough patches of skin on the body. It is powered by AA batteries and features a waterproof design making it perfect for use in the shower. [Read more…]
