Save on 3 P&G Products that Provide the Best Value for Your Dollar

May 26, 2016 by Kathryn 186 Comments

When it comes to getting the best value for my money, sometimes the cheapest product isn’t always the best. That value brand of floor cleaner for less than a dollar might seem like the best choice, but if it can’t cut through dirt and mud as well, then I’m going to use more to get jobs done. One of the reasons I’m such a fan of P&G products is because I know how much effort goes into making those products more effective. And that means bigger savings in the long run! Wondering what P&G products are especially worth the extra cost? After many years of testing every product under the sun and trying absolutely everything to save a little extra money, these are three of the P&G products that I’ve found are always worth the extra cost, and why:

Tide Laundry Detergent

A few years ago I visited the Proctor & Gamble Headquarters in Cincinnati and had the chance to tour the fabric care facility. After seeing the amount of work that went into research and development, I understood exactly why Tide out-cleans competitors. The deep-down clean isn’t something that just happens through chance. Fabric fibres are examined at a microscopic level to confirm how well the formula removes dirt and grime…while also protecting those fibres so clothes last longer. No wonder Tide is able to remove everything from grass stains to blood to chocolate!

While it does cost more, it saves me in the long run by preserving my clothes. And with P&G Printable coupons, you can save $1 on your purchase of Tide! [Read more…]

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…]

Three Tips for Back-To-School Beauty from P&G Experts and a Walmart #BeReady2Roar Special Offer-Giveaway #PGMom

August 28, 2015 by Kathryn 233 Comments

When I was a teenager, one of the things that I loved most about going back to school was getting to show off a fun, new look. I was pretty clumsy with makeup in my teen years, but I still had a few must-have products! My favourite was COVERGIRL Pressed Powder in Classic Ivory and I used to love wearing it paired with black eyeliner and lip gloss. It may have been a somewhat gothic look, but it suited me at the time!

Fashions may have changed since my youth, but the thrill of trying new makeup for the big first day back at school is still there! And this year, Walmart is the top stop for all your teen’s favourite beauty products from Pantene, COVERGIRL, Olay and Venus! Even better, COVERGIRL Make-up Pro Veronica Chu and Pantene Consulting Stylist Justin German have some great tips to help your teen make the most of that first day back!

1. Every great beauty look starts with a great regimen

Following a daily hair care regimen is the basis of great looking hair! One of the staples of this is a shampoo and conditioner like the Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal Shampoo and Conditioner – I love this collection because it’s designed to repair hair, control moisture levels and prevent damage for a soft, smooth, moisturized feel. This makes it a fantastic option for girls experimenting with new styles and putting their hair through its paces so it looks healthy and strong. – Justin German
Similarly, great makeup starts with great skin. For young women in their teens or early twenties, their bodies are still growing and factors like stress and hormonal changes can cause skin to act out. I always recommend following a cleansing routine morning and night, followed by a good moisturizer. One of my favourite cleansers is the Olay Total Effects Refreshing Citrus Face Scrub – the oil free formula won’t clog pores and cleanses without over drying. For a moisturizer, apply the Olay Total Effects Featherweight Moisturizer – I like this one because it’s super light-weight and includes an SPF for added protection. – Veronica Chu
