October 12, 2017 by Kathryn 145 Comments

Even though summer is hands-down my favourite season, fall has always been my top time to try new fashion and beauty looks. Whether it’s because I have more time indoors due to the change in weather or just that I tend to discover more fun beauty products and clothes to test, I love making the most of the season by rocking some new looks.

This year, the 2017 Best New Product Awards sent me an amazing bag featuring some of its winning products this year and I noticed right away that there were some beauty products that I’d love. If you’re looking for the best in new beauty items for fall, make sure to check out these five award winners chosen by Canadian shoppers just like you!

Jergens Moisturizer for Wet Skin

With two boys in school and a new baby in the house, just finding time to shower is a challenge. Finding time to put on moisturizer? Almost impossible! That’s why I love this innovative moisturizer. I just apply it quickly right after showering and before drying off to ensure soft skin. It’s one of those little beauty additions that instantly makes me feel as good as I look, and it’s especially important when dipping temperatures leave skin feeling drier. [Read more…]

Refresh Your Hair for Spring with Pantene 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner-Giveaway #PGMom #WantThatHair

March 11, 2016 by Kathryn 162 Comments

With the gorgeous, unseasonably warm winter that we enjoyed here in Saskatchewan, my hair didn’t end up getting too damaged during the cold season. But my locks are still dryer and more brittle after months of exposure to the cold air and the lack of humidity that heating a house causes. March is a great time to rejuvenate and so this month, I’m doing just that to my hair with the new Moisture Renewal 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner treatment!

I absolutely love deep conditioners because they provide long-lasting smoothness and moisture with just a few minutes of work once a week or so. When my hair is at its best, I find that twice monthly treatments keep my locks luscious and full of shine. When it needs a little extra TLC, a once-weekly treatment is ideal. But either way, I love running my fingers through my soft, smooth strands after a deep conditioning!

Let Pantene, COVERGIRL and Crest Glam Your Look for Valentine’s Day Date Night

February 14, 2015 by Kathryn 204 Comments

As a work-from-home mom, dressing up is not really a part of my daily routine. In fact, I fully admit that I am one of those parents that sometimes walks my boys to school wearing pyjama pants. (Okay, okay, I sometimes pick them up after school in pyjama pants too!) Getting dressed just to sit at home working all day has never made much sense to me. But since my workweek is so relaxed, I tend to go all out when I do get the chance to dress up.

And that means that when I leave the house for an elegant Valentine’s Day dinner, I’m going to be looking my absolute best. While I haven’t decided which dress and heels I’ll be wearing quite yet, I do know that I’ll be curling my hair and putting on my favourite date night makeup! And with help from Pantene, COVERGIRL and Crest Whitestrips, I’m sure my look will get a great reaction!

My hair is quite fine, but I have so much of it that it tends to be rather limp. I love curling it but because of its weight the curls often lose their bounce quickly. That’s why I’ve fallen in love with the Pantene Pro-V Full & Strong collection. The shampoo and conditioner strengthen my hair without weighing it down. And the Pantene Pro-V PowerFULL Body Booster Spray is my secret weapon when styling my hair. I just spray the formula on my damp strands, use my Conair Infiniti Pro Curl Secret to add curls and then set the curls with a quick spritz of hairspray for a look that lasts all night. [Read more…]
