Getting Ready for Back-to-School with Neutrogena Naturals Skincare and Other Healthy Essentials

September 3, 2014 by Kathryn 28 Comments

Before we know it, it will be time to stock up on school supplies, outfit our children with a new wardrobe and prepare for the busy back to school season. And while pencils, notebooks and fall clothes are on every mom’s shopping list, they certainly aren’t the only back-to-school essentials! I remember when I was a teenager, HEALTHY ESSENTIALS™ for my medicine cabinet, such as a good face wash and moisturizer, were always a must to help me prepare for that first day of classes. After all, nobody wants to start the school year with acne!

Now, at 33, acne is still something that I battle every month, and after years of experience trying different products, I know firsthand that the more heavily medicated acne-fighting products will often make a breakout even worse by aggravating skin. So when I got the chance to review the new NEUTROGENA® NATURALS™ line as part of the Chatelaine Tasters & Testers program, I had to give it a try. These products are over 94% naturally sourced, effective even on acne-prone skin and still gentle enough to use every single day!

I tested out the NEUTROGENA® NATURALS™ Purify Facial Cleanser, Purifying Pore Scrub and Multi-Vitamin Nourishing Daily Moisturizer. I decided to use the facial cleanser in the morning and the pore scrub at night, following up with the moisturizer both times. And in just a few days, I was in love. The Purifying Facial Cleanser has a great fruity scent that reminds me off watermelon and foams up nicely on my skin. Yet when I rinse it off, my face still feels nourished instead of tight and dry. The Purifying Pore Scrub has, in my opinion, the perfect texture for an exfoliator. I am big on exfoliating, but finding a product that scrubs skin thoroughly without being too harsh is tricky. The new NEUTROGENA® NATURALS™ scrub does the job perfectly. [Read more…]

Arnicare Gel and Other Boiron Products Help Families Enjoy Summer More #BoironFamily

August 14, 2014 by Kathryn 21 Comments

When the warm weather arrives, my boys and I are outside more than we’re inside and that means we end up with plenty of summer irritations too. From minor strains and sprains to itchy insect bites to scrapes and burns, my boys and I frequently deal with those little inconvenient injuries that don’t really slow us down but sure do annoy us!

And when choosing a way to treat those injuries, I like to make sure I’m picking homeopathic products whenever possible. That’s why I’ve been a fan of Boiron ever since my boys were infants and this summer, the company has a fabulous line of Arnicare products perfect for muscle strains, aches and bruises.

Five Fun Activities from RUB A535 to Get Your Family Outdoors this Spring

May 14, 2014 by Kathryn 19 Comments

After a long winter and an even longer wait for warmer weather, Saskatchewan is finally starting to get some of that sweet sunshine that I love so much and that means it’s time to head outside! I love being able to get back outdoors again with my boys and be a little more active, but it always amazes me how stiff I get the first few times I spend the day outside. After all, I do walk everywhere, even in the winter, but I guess the activities of spring work different muscles!

Luckily, I always keep plenty of RUB A535 Natural Source Arnica Gel-Cream in my cupboard! This cream is the absolute best for soothing my sore muscles after a long day and is made with 100% naturally sourced Arnica montana! I love the light scent of the cream and it soaks into the skin beautifully with no greasy feel. Even better, RUB A535 Arnica is also great for speeding the healing of children’s bumps and bruises!

March 24, 2014 by Kathryn 202 Comments

I have long, thick hair that I have spent years growing, which means that I choose my shampoo and conditioner with a lot of care. I want to ensure that my hair is soft and silky, yet still strong and resistant to breakage. But with each passing year that gets harder to do and the long winter has taken its toll on my tresses as well, so I was happy to learn about new Live Clean Age Resist haircare!

This new line uses an exclusive innovation, a plant-based silicone alternative called Thick Bond Protein, to increase strength and shine in hair. Featuring four essential products, the collection keeps hair looking great while nourishing the scalp to help increase the health of hair long-term as well. I received the new Live Clean Age Resist collection to test out and I couldn’t wait to see if it would help keep my hair looking its best.
