August 16, 2016 by Kathryn 93 Comments

I’ve always loved watching the Olympic Games, but I have to admit that this year I’ve enjoyed it even more thanks to the amazing women competing! Seeing our female athletes take the stage and show the world what they can do has left no doubt in anyone’s mind…our women have moves like no other!

One of those medals came from two of the FAB IV divers, brand ambassadors for Gillette Venus and my personal favourite athletes of the games. I love watching them compete but even more than that, I love their energy and joie de vie both in and out of the pool! [Read more…]

Venus and the FAB IV Team Up to Show the World Moves Like No Other at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games-Giveaway

June 29, 2016 by Kathryn 208 Comments

When I was a young adult, I was always excited to try the newest, trendiest beauty products whenever I could get my hands on them. I bought my first Venus razor days after it was first released in 2001 and it’s been a staple of my day-to-day beauty routine ever since. As I have a tendency to be clumsy, the no-nick design was a dream come true for me. And I’ve always loved how fresh, modern and energetic the brand was!

That’s why it’s no surprise to me that Venus Canada’s newest partnership is with women that embody that same fresh, modern and energetic spirit! The FAB IV, best friends and Rio 2016 Olympic divers, are the newest brand ambassadors for Venus, and I can’t imagine a more fitting partnership. These women are all incredible athletes but more than that, they have an inner confidence and joie de vive that’s just as inspiring.

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

Say #GoodbyeFlyaways and Shave #InASnap with New Products from Gillette Venus and Vidal Sassoon-Giveaway #PGMom

July 15, 2014 by Kathryn 172 Comments

Summer is definitely the season for wearing cool, flowing dresses while sporting cool, flowing hair and I have to admit, it’s one of my favourite things about July and August. There’s simply nothing better than feeling the warm breeze blowing while being outside in the sunshine.

But summer clothes can mean summer woes at times, whether it’s because occasionally the sun tends to leave my hair looking less than luxurious or because I have a tendency to sometimes sashay out the door in a strappy dress forgetting that I haven’t shaved my legs or underarms. Luckily, this year Proctor & Gamble is coming to the rescue with some products that will end summer hair problems once and for all!

My thick, straight hair is actually fairly well-behaved in all weather, but if you have curly or wavy hair and the humidity causes you grief each summer, Vidal Sassoon has two fabulous new products to help tame your tresses. When there’s just no avoiding humidity, embrace your natural wave with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Waves Enhancer Spray and Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Waves Crème Pomade. The 7-in-1 wave enhancer spray allows for maximum styling so you can achieve that tousled, beach hair look with ease! After a quick spray, just apply the crème pomade for genius curl control, leaving hair soft, touchable and beautifully defined for up to 24 hours! [Read more…]
