April 14, 2015 by Kathryn 172 Comments

While I’ve never been a big fan of strong scents, it only took one use for me to completely fall in love with the Lush version of Downy Unstopables when I tried adding the scent booster to my laundry. The light scent of vanilla and lavender was delicious and I especially liked using it when washing bed sheets. The aroma lasted for weeks after and definitely led to some blissful dreams!

Now the popular Unstopables scents have expanded into a new collection featuring Fabric Refresher, Air Effects, Scented Oil Warmers, Candles and, of course, the original In-Wash Scent Booster. And according to celebrity interior designer Nate Berkus, adding a signature scent to a room is one of the easiest ways to add extra elegance. Here are some tips from Nate on “scent decor.”

With the arrival of fall comes a return to routine and that can sometimes leave moms and kids both feeling a little worn out. Early morning activities, late night study sessions…it’s not always easy putting your best face forward during the busy autumn season, especially if you got a little less sleep than you expected!

And any mom with a teenage daughter knows that looking pulled together and well-rested is just as important to a young girl too. In fact I remember that when I was teenager, one of my favourite things about the back-to-school season was stocking up on new skincare and makeup products!

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or your daughter, you’re sure to discover a few favourites for fall!

Put Your Best Face Forward

This is the perfect time for mom to reveal her skin’s natural luminosity and radiance with Olay Total Effects Pore Minimizing CC Cream – improving the appearance of pores and uneven skin tone for a flawless, airbrushed finish.

This dermatologist-tested formula includes Olay FaceFirm technology for all-day hydration and skin renewal, improving skin’s natural firmness in just two weeks with continued use.

We know waking up early to organize the kids can be tiring, and for many, dark under-eye circles and puffiness are a concern! With COVERGIRL + Olay The De-Puffer Eye Concealer you will look well-rested and ready to tackle the day – even though you may not always feel that way.

Say No to Going #Noseblind with Products from Febreze-Giveaway #PGMom

August 4, 2014 by Kathryn 156 Comments

It’s a moment almost everyone has had. That time when I clean the house, I think it’s fresh and tidy, I leave for a few hours and then I come back only to realize that my house smells bad! Sometimes it’s because of a meal I’d been cooking a few hours before. Sometimes it’s because the cat’s litter has been left sitting a little too long. And sometimes it’s a result of the kids making one too many messy spills. But either way, realizing that my own house smells bad is not a fun experience!

It’s called going noseblind, and as silly as the name is, it is a very real phenomenon. In fact, living in an older house with odd circulation, I’ve even noticed it in different areas of the house! Zackary’s room is directly under the kitchen and for whatever reason the smell of the food I’m cooking seems to seep up right into his room. It’s lots of fun when I’m baking cookies but if I’ve been frying onions, I’ll often find his room still smells hours after I’ve stopped noticing the odour in the rest of the house! [Read more…]
