I’m loving my Christmas sweater from Walmart. It’s so cozy and warm and how cute is Mickey Mouse?

Fun in the Sun! July

I’ve been so busy with the kids. I’ve been trying to entertain them and keep them active. So far the summer has been very good. I’m enjoying every minute. Not every moment is perfect. Life is not perfect. This summer has and continues to test my patience. Not only from my children but from people all around me. Waiting in line, more people at the malls and sometimes the HEAT. Heat is not my favourite thing. Loud noises everywhere and no calmness. Always on the go and no time for my self. As I’m writing this I have anxiety that my children are going to call me. Even on the toilet they call me! lol Seriously?I love them to bits, don’t get me wrong but are any other parents feeling this right now?

The kids keep me young!

Watched Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation at Scarborough Town Centre. The hot popcorn was delicious. We had fun and I can’t wait to see Incredibles 2 and also Winnie the Poo!! When is that one coming out? I’m a kid at heart.

Yesterday I decided to have them do nothing. I didn’t take them anywhere and they found this strange. lol omg so funny to even write this out. So they did a little painting and are watching YouTube. They are obsessed with SQUISHY videos. Squishies are very addictive I must add. I love them too.

I know this won’t last for ever and that’s why I’m shifting my thoughts to be positive and trying really hard to stay calm and collected. July has been eventful. Hot sun, fun fairs and swimming. Visits to the mall for overpriced ice cream and treats.

More swimming and fun in the sun.

Gardening and flowers

I’m lost in the summer adventures and don’t have a list to follow. Who does? Lists don’t work very well with #MOMLIFE do they? If so please let me know what your trick is. The girls and I made a fun bucket list. We have many things to complete. I’m not in a rush though. I don’t want to stress.

This summer feels different than last summer. I’ll be honest and tell you that this summer feels a little more down for me. I guess because some of life’s stresses are effecting me. My mind is my enemy and stress is not good at all for my health. I’m trying to figure things out and I know it will be okay.

We went to a fair. It was lovely but not as good as the CNE. I can’t wait for the CNE!

This day was so hot we all ended up dehydrated and sunburned. But it was fun.

I lost my sunglasses and right after the fair I rushed to find another pair.

So overall things have been lovely. The weather has calmed down and there is no extreme heat warming which is good. I would like to get more organized…at least try. I’m behind on my favourites. Forgive me. I’m hoping to travel around Ontario. Trying to. It’s hard for my husband to find time especially with construction around the house. *Sigh* I’ll be okay. Things will work out.

THANK YOU FOR THE PR!

I received lovely PR. Thank you so much to Avon Canada, Chick Advisor and Pixi Beauty.

More details coming soon for Pixi Beauty GLOW collection.

To New Beginnings!

My little Angelina graduated from kindergarten and is off to grade one. Time goes by so fast. My eldest is heading to grade 6! I’m nervous for both of them but also very excited.

Today is the last day of school. I thought it was Friday but it isn’t. I woke up with a sore throat and I can feel something happening behind my eyes. I took a vitamin C and zinc tablet along with a natural throat spray. I guess i’m a bit stressed and worried. I do this to my self and I shouldn’t. When I think too much my immune system breaks down. I’m thinking about my girls having a good summer. I’m thinking about finding a job. I’m always thinking about being the best mom that I can be and how I can make things better all the time. I’m thinking about the education system and lifestyle in Toronto. Even though things are fine and will be fine I always do this. I really want the best for my girls.

I need to live in the moment more. I try…believe me I try.

The garden is growing nicely. I’ll be vlogging this long weekend. I vlogged a bit of the garden if you like to have a look.

I’ve been loving some new PR that has come my way. I’ve been enjoying Garnier Skin Active line. Everything is super amazing with lots of hydrating benefits. I love how gentle the gel wash is. The face mist is so lovely for the summer. I carry that with me in my bag. I love to use it anytime I need my skin to feel refreshed. The Soothing balm is so good and I love using it as a mask. The wipes are brilliant and gentle and take my makeup off perfectly. I Love them! Thank you Garnier Canada for these beautiful skincare products. All the Garnier Skincare products are now paraben free!

I’m madly in love with the Make Up For Ever Artist Pencils. So creamy and soft on the lips. They come in 39 shades. They are intense matte colours. Very creamy and blend so nicely. They are $23.00 each. They are sold at Sephora and Sephora.ca. The nude colour is 602 completely Sepia and the burgundy one is 718 Free Burgundy.

I’m wearing the 718 Free Burgundy

Thank you to Make Up For Ever for the incredible samples. I adore them so much. I’m truly grateful.

I’ve been using the VICHY Aqualia Thermal Serum and face cream. #Freesamples via Influenster Canada. I love them so much. The packaging is super cute. I love the formula of both these products. First time using Vichy and I love them! Very light formula that is super hydrating and makes my skin feel very good and soothed. Thank you so much Influenster!

I absolutely love Le Petit Marceillais body wash. The red one is my favourite but then this new one came out and it’s Mandarin Lime and I love it! They are all very lovely body washes. They smell so good and foam up beautifully. Love how clean my skin feels. Fabulous!

I’ve been vlogging a lot and started my garden! Have you seen my vlog? I would love for you to check it out and subscribe to my channel. It means the world to me!

STYLE

I’m loving my new white * converse shoes. They look fabulous with shorts and dresses and they are very comfortable to wear.

I’m a HUGE adidas fan. I’ve been loving and obsessed with my forest green hoodie and my new Adidas originals Superstar Shoes. I love them so much. I’ve wanted them for the longest time. I bought both of these from the new Adidas shop in Scarborough Town Centre.

How do you like my new hair colour? Do you like blond on me? I’m not sure how I feel about the hair colour. I’m missing my copper hair colour and I might just go back to it. Let me know in the comments if you like it. My daughters say they love it.

The weather has been incredible and I’m very excited for this month. How about you? Las month I went to the Toronto Zoo last with my daughter’s class and fell in love with this butterfly. It’s so beautiful don’t you think?

The app is super easy to use and fun. You get the chance to receive free products and review them for free! It’s so much fun and you will love influenster!

So at David’s Tea they made me “the tea of the day” and I loved it! I love the peach and strawberry iced tea as well. I think those two are my absolute favourite teas.

INFLUENSTER

I also received via INFLUENSTER #Freesamples of Le Petite Marseillais in the new Mandarin and Lime bodywash. It’s absolutely amazing! The Poppy one use to be my favourite but now this smells so so good I think this is my new favourite one.
