Get All Your Health and Beauty Needs Delivered to Your Door with HealthSnap.ca-Giveaway

November 23, 2015 by Kathryn 136 Comments

When I shop online, I have a little internal checklist of requirements that I go through. Some of my requirements are essentials in order for me to make a purchase. Others are just fringe benefits that make me more likely to be a return shopper. But when a store can fulfill almost every desire I have, it’s likely going to become a must-shop website for me.

Until recently, I didn’t have an online pharmacy that was a go-to for me. But that’s all changed since my first shopping experience on HealthSnap.ca! The company recently gave me a $50 credit to the website so that I could experience the shopping and ordering process firsthand, and I couldn’t wait to pick out some much needed items.

With temperatures that are likely now permanently below zero and a few bad bouts of flu in the house already, vitamins were at the top of my shopping list. My boys have a great stock of gummy vitamins on hand, but my significant other and I were almost out of multivitamins. I browsed the selection of vitamins at HealthSnap to see what I could find.

Get an A+ on Style this School Year with Goody Hair Accessories

My mom has had short hair for my entire life, so I didn’t have anyone to teach me how to style my hair. For school pictures and special occasions, she would have my babysitter curl and style my hair. The rest of the time it pretty much just did what it wanted and I remember once, in Grade 3, a teacher actually told me I needed to brush my shoulder-length hair more because it was so tangled.

In elementary school, I had bangs and hair that was at least shoulder length in the back and sometimes longer. In high school I said goodbye to the bangs and grew out my hair to a simple one-length style with a centre part. But no matter how my hair was cut, I struggled with finding ways to style it.

Sharing Everyday Moments with Photo Art from BLACKS Photography

There is nothing that makes me happier than capturing a great image of my boys. And often, my favourite pictures are ones I take during fleeting everyday moments. Taking a decent picture of Benjamin with the perfect smile or Zackary whizzing down the street on his bike isn’t as easy as it sounds and when I succeed in freezing one of those fleeting moments in time, I want to show it off.

Recently I had the chance to do just that by turning some of my favourite Instagram images of everyday moments into wall art and other photo products at BLACKS.CA. As I just painted and renovated my living room last year, I’m still perfecting its décor and I was so excited to have the chance to add some fun and meaningful artwork of my boys’ special moments to our walls.
