Discover the New ATTITUDE Sensitive Skin Care Collection at Special Low Prices Right Now-Giveaway

February 8, 2017 by Kathryn 166 Comments

I’ve always been a big fan of natural products in the house, whether I’m looking for safe and effective cleaning products or bath and body care for my boys. So, when I discovered ATTITUDE last year, I fell in love. The company’s philosophy is simple: parents deserve high-quality products with worry-free ingredients for their families. I’m especially fond of the company’s sun care collection since I don’t care for commercial sunscreen. The mineral-based sun care did a great job of protecting my boys on our Caribbean cruise last year!

But for infants or children that have sensitive skin, even ATTITUDE’s worry-free ingredient lineup may not be enough. Which is why the company has introduced its brand-new ATTITUDE Sensitive Skin Care collection! Boasting products both for babies and families, this new line has been tested in an independent laboratory and received EWG verification and the National Eczema Association seal of acceptance. The addition of up to 3% colloidal oatmeal in the products helps soothe and protect the sensitive skin of babies, children and adults! [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…]

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.

Get Smooth Summer Skin with 4 Simple Steps from Nair

July 15, 2015 by Kathryn 1 Comment

After such a long cold winter, summer is finally here! In fact, in Saskatchewan we’re in the middle of a heat wave that’s been going on for almost a month. And believe me, in a province that sometimes has snow on the ground for a full nine months, I am not complaining!

The warm weather means that I’ve pulled out all my favourite cute skirts, dresses and shorts to help keep cool, and so soft, smooth legs are a priority for me at the moment. Luckily, these tips from Nair make it easy to enjoy smooth skin all summer long!

Exfoliate

If this isn’t part of your shower routine, it should be. Exfoliating not only gets rid of dry, flakey skin, it also helps skin to look fresh and prepares it for the next step. [Read more…]
