‘Whiskey in a Tea Cup’ by Reese Witherspoon Book & Tote Giveaway! #GIVEAWAY

I’m very excited to be bringing you this lovely giveaway. Reese Witherspoon is a shining star! She is inspirational and I adore her so much. I love all her films and lately I’ve been loving her book club and her online presence. She is an Academy Award-winning actress, producer and entrepreneur.

Reese Witherspoon invites you to her world with her new book Whiskey in a Teacup. She shares the joy of southern living and she says:

I hope you’ll see how easy it is for you to bring a little bit of the South to your home, no matter where you live. After all, there’s a Southern side to every place in the world, right?

I’m very lucky to have a advanced copy and I’m excited to share this giveaway with you too. The book is absolutely stunning and filled with lovely recipes and stories about Reese Witherspoon’s life growing up in the South. It has everything I love in this book. It talks about empowerment, strength and family. It talks about the simple pleasures of life, and how taking care of your self is important. It has a little bit of everything from beauty, lifestyle and also great tips for dinner parties. I absolutely love the chapter about monograms. I never really appreciated monograms until this chapter. I really love all the special details in this book. It’s an incredible coffee table book. You really want to display this beauty!

Everything in this book looks very classy and elegant. Reese is so radiant and her personality shines through the pages. Love how she looks in the “Making Special Occasions Special” Chapter. I really love her book and all the photos are breathtaking.

She has a thirst for life and I adore that about her. All the recipes look delicious and are bound to make you hungry. They look super easy to create! I created a few and love them.

I created Dorothea’s Sun Tea on Page 22. A really delicious and refreshing iced tea.

My family really loves the Pecan-Crusted Chicken Skewers recipe on page 24. The chicken turned out moist and crunchy at the same time. Really delicious.

The frozen fruit salad is out of this world. So simple and refreshing. Really yummy. Frozen fruit salad is on page 28.

Another delicious recipe is on page 196 and it is Dorothea’s Corn Salad. So easy to make and very delicious.

I have teamed up with Simon and Schuster Canada to bring you a giveaway! How exciting right?

Winter Skincare with Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula and GIVEAWAY! #Palmers

I’m so happy to say that the Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula is everything I need and more this winter. I kindly received three products to review and I’m so excited and happy to share them with you. I love coconut and this has to be my favourite Palmer’s collection. They are SO GOOD, they work and hydrate for over 24hr! So rich, creamy, smell so so good and great ingredients!

Palmer’s Coconut oil formula is natural that really hydrates the skin and gives the skin so much moisture and conditioning. It is free of harsh chemicals and is formulated with ethically and sustainably sourced ingredients.

The Body Cream contains Raw coconut oil and a blend of rich, natural butters including Mango, Shea, Macadamia and Cocoa to drench the skin and deep-penetrating moisture and rehydrate even the toughest, driest skin. It is a rich formula that helps soften even the roughest skin. It’s a very beautiful and creamy and its perfect for at home spa pedicures, revitalizing moisture thirsty elbows or maintaining soft, supple skin all throughout the dry weather months.

I really love this formula because it feels good on the skin, hydrates my skin for over 24 hours, it smells so amazing and is free of nasty harsh chemicals. It has the finest skin-healthy ingredients!

Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula Body Lotion contains rich, skin-conditioning coconut oil and coconut milk that infuse skin with deeply penetrating moisture and an instant hydration boost. The Lotion contains high levels of naturally occurring fatty acids and proteins that are essential in keeping skin radiant and healthy looking. Natural Oils and botanical extracts immediately begin rehydrating depleted skin on contact, creating a breathable barrier that locks in moisture for longlasting softness. Incredible formula that is not greasy, light and absorbs so nicely on the skin. I also love how hydrating this is and again it smells so good!

Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula Body Oil instantly boosts hydration and gives skin an overall healthy-looking glow. Raw Coconut Oil and a blend of precious, natural oils including Grape Seed, Macadamia and Argan Oil deeply penetrate and immediately begin rehydrating depleted skin on contact, creating a breathable barrier that locks in moisture for long-lasting radiance.

The Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula really hydrates, rejuvenates and replenishes skin’s moisture. It is so good after a shower or bath. It is Non-greasy and absorbs so nicely. It does not stain clothing. It helps keep my skin hydrated over 24hours. Super amazing and smells so good.

THE KEY INGREDIENTS

• Raw Coconut Oil – Sourced from South East Asia this super ingredient is antioxidant rich and has inherent antibacterial properties. Loaded with naturally occurring skin health Lauric Acid, Proteins, and Vitamin E.

• Tahitian Monoï – From the ancient Polynesian word for “scented oil” the native star-shaped Tiaré flowers are harvested for their delicately perfumed petals and then soaked in unrefined coconut oil for days.

• Sweet Almond Oil – Collected in small cooperatives in Spain, the almonds are harvested in summer and pressed for their rich oil. Almond oil naturally soothes skin irritation and detoxifies

• Vitamin E – This antioxidant powerhouse combats free radical damage, keeping skin looking youthful and rejuvenated

I highly recommend Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula for the winter. This trio is amazing and will keep you hydrated and smelling oh so good. Lovely and really great for gift giving! Your family will thank you, trust me they will! My family really loves this collection.

You are beautiful to me because… SHISEIDO #ShareBeauty #Photoreadyskin

Last year I attended the Dave Lackie follower party for SHISEIDO with my wonderful friend and incredible blogger Cat Forsley.

I was blown away at the entire #ShareBeauty concept. SHISEIDO has connected people with their incredible campaign that “Beauty is a feeling”.

Did you happen to see my VLOG for that evening? Well you’re in luck! I’ve attached it to this post so you can have a look at it if you like and you can also click and see pictures of the event on the blog post. #ShareBeauty Shiseido Event Toronto It was a beautiful function and I had so much fun. Truly a wonderful event that I will always remember. Thank you so much to Dave Lackie for the opportunity.

Last week I was fortunate and very lucky to win a gift from Dave Lackie on Twitter. You should totally follow him. He is really amazing and wonderful. He is a sweetheart and always gives to others. He is a really incredible person. The amazing gift that I kindly won is a Shiseido makeup bag with beautiful skincare and a lipstick. Thank you so much Dave Lackie! I’m truly grateful. I love everything and used everything already and I’m not surprised at all at how incredible the products are. Truly amazing especially the Cleanser! wow!

I would also like to thank Dave for the beautiful lipstick! I adore the formula and the colour and packaging is perfection. This is in the colour RD 311 Crime of Passion. Totally adore Shiseido Lipsticks. They are beyond perfection!

WOO HOO!

Guess what came in the box?

Shiseido products!

I’m going to share each product with you and give you a short little info and review.

IBUKI Quick Fix Mist

13ml Travel Size

This spray is amazing! This is an all-day gel spray that absorbs oil, refreshes makeup and tones down shine in a spritz, anytime and anywhere. Incredible little travel size perfect for the handbag. I also received a big size when I went to the event and I absolutely love the Quick Fix Mist. Amazing!

Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate

10ml Travel size

This is an incredible booster for your skin. It really helps defend against signs of stress, aging and environmental damage. I apply this after my cleanser and I absolutely love it!

This is the IBUKI Beauty Sleeping Mask. This is for one application. I love this mask. I applied this before bed and I woke up with amazing radiant and hydrated skin. It feels dewy on the skin and very soothing and hydrating.
