Sweet April…

I’ve enjoyed the rain and the blooms and blossoms. The weather has been cool but so beautiful. Sweet April you brought me joy, love and you tested my patience. All in the most gracious and gratifying way. I’m grateful and thank you. I had a beautiful Birthday and I love my family so much. They really made me feel so very special. We had a lovely dinner and the weather was perfect.

I won this beautiful Tulle Skirt from the talented and inspirational Brianne. Her blog is Sincerelybri.ca. the Tulle skirt is from Garderobetoronto. I’m in love with it. I absolute love the quality of this skirt. It’s so perfect and can be worn in so many ways. I just had to wear it on my Birthday. Thank you to Bri and to Garderobe Toronto for the win. I feel so lucky to have won and I feel beautiful wearing this skirt. I’ve always wanted a tulle skirt!

I haven’t been running away from online, I promise. I’ve been so busy with the house, renovations and family. I’m slowly making my way back and miss sharing my life with you. I’m really happy and life is teaching many things lately. I’m so grateful to be able to learn from my journey. It’s never perfect and I love that. I’m growing and learning.

Happy New Year! 2019

Happy New Year my wonderful friends! I wish you all the very best this year. I can’t believe how fast December went. During December I slowed down on the blog a bit because I was vlogging daily on the Vlog Channel which was a very big challenge but it was so much fun.

I had the opportunity to volunteer at my daughter’s school, visit a few lovely places like Ripley’s Aquarium and worked with the amazing Marketing Specialists at Scarborough Town Centre. My girls came a long with the journey and loved it! It’s been an adventure!

I received lovely gifts from family and PR that I’m truly grateful for. I hope you received everything you asked for as well.

Here are my absolute favourite PR Gifts.

WINTER MUST-HAVES

It’s never too early to shop for winter. Especially items that will keep you cozy and warm. I’m so excited to share my favourite Winter Must-Haves. I hope you love them as much as I do.

A huge part of my Winter routine includes a lot of creams and oils. I always apply oil on my skin and hair because everything gets dry. I’ve been really loving Indeed Laboratories lightweight facial oil and Indeed Laboratories Nanoblur colour corrector. These two really hydrate my skin and lock in essential moisture. The Facial oil is derived from 100% sugarcane. It really reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and has improved my skins moisture balance. The colour corrector neutralizes pigment and works by helping reduce redness while locking in moisture. This formula really makes my skin feel smooth and velvety.

*Indeed Laboratories Squalane Lightweight Facial oil is $19.99 and Indeed Laboratories Nanoblur Colour Corrector, Green is $16.99 and is available at Shoppers Drugmart.

Who ever came up with the idea of hand masks is amazing! It’s so wonderful to have soft smooth and hydrated hands. I need more of these asap and these make the perfect stocking stuffers.

*Life nourishing hand masks available at Shoppers Drugmart for $4.99

I really love using *Flexitol Very Dry Skin Cream for my legs, elbows and hands. I really love this formula and I apply it day and night. Really helps lock in the moisture and doesn’t let my skin get dry at all. No more itchy dry skin!

How stunning are these beautiful lipsticks from AVON Canada? Can you say Happy Holidays? Yes! Lipsticks are Always a must-have darlings! These are chic, beautiful very glam and classy!

Another stunning piece that I’m loving is the new *NARS CLIMAX Mascara. It’s perrrrfect in every way. A fantastic everyday mascara that doesn’t dry my lashes and lasts all day! Loving the hot red packaging too.

How stunning is a bit of shiny gloss with a hint of red in the winter? I’m a huge fan of glossy lips. This is a beautiful lipgloss that gives the loveliest hint of red and shine with no gloop or stickyness. *Avon True lipgloss in the colour SPARK is lovely. This gloss is also hydrating too. Glam up any look with *AVON’s Gel Finish 7-in-1 nail polish in the colour “Roses are Red” the most beautiful red for the holidays. This will make any look very Festive along with the beautiful Festive Red Flower Earrings-$34.99.

A fabulous nail polish for the winter is *Quo by ORLY Breathable nail polish in the colour “Aloe, Goodbye!” it’s available at Shoppers Drug Mart. I love this formula.

New Make Up For Ever New Matte Velvet Skin! I’m so grateful that I received such a beautiful PR box! I have a video and blog post coming soon on this incredible foundation. I’m in love with Make Up For Ever. This new foundation is available in 40 shades. It’s a Flexi-fit formula that is has full coverage. It is lightweight & oil free. It moves with the skin and never cakes, flakes or fades. It is $48.00 and sold exclusively at Sephora and Sephora.ca.

Next is Zoella Beauty. I really love Zoella products. I’m a huge fan. This collection is super fresh. I love the packaging as well. A huge thank you to Farleyco Beauty for the Zoella products. You can find the products here. ZOELLA BEAUTY PRODUCTS.

I LOVE vegan greens + O by Genuine Health. It is all natural, non-GMO and formulated to help with more energy, sleep better, move better and love your gut. #LOVEHOWYOUFEEL

It makes me really happy when I receive healthy products like this. This powder of mixed greens + O is delicious. I love this because I add it in my smoothies and in my chia pudding. So healthy for the body. It really gives me energy and keeps me going through the day. Thank you to the Publicist Group for the lovely sample. It’s my absolute fave! The chia seeds are white Prana Chia seeds. Do you like chia seeds? I love them so much. I like the texture when it’s a pudding. Would you like a recipe for this pudding? Let me know in the comments If you are interested.

This summer I’ve been using Avon Anew Clinical Unlimited Lashes Lash & Brow Activating Serum and Avon True colour Love at 1st Lash Mascara. Safe for contact lens wearers and Ophthalmologist-tested. The Serum is $60.00 for 3ml. The mascara is infused with nutrients and the formula has a unique blend of lycopene, olive oil and vitamin E. It is also Paraben and sulphate free. The Mascara is 9ml $12.00. I’m starting to see results and I’ve been using this duo for 2 weeks.

I kindly received the VICHY LIFTACTIV UV duo by Chick Advisor. Vichy is an incredible skincare line. I really like this duo because the face cream has SPF. I use this duo during the day. I use very little because the formula for the LIFTACTIVE UV face cream melts like silk on the skin. This duo helps my skin with hydration and my face and neck feel so soft after using it. I’ve tried two other Vichy products and the formula is fantastic!

I love my Hellmann’s! I love making creamy potato, macaroni and crab salad. I use it for deviled eggs and salad dressings. My girls love tuna sandwiches and I also spread it on fish, chicken and meat sandwiches. I really love the Avocado oil with a hint of lime. It’s not overpowering with lime and it is so smooth, delicious and creamy. Mouth watering! I received this sample to review from Chick Advisor. LOVE IT!

Perfect for kids. This Avon Collection is super cute but also smells so good and is paraben and sulphate free. My girls really loved the texture of the Soapy Slime. They also love the fun foam and the Hocus Pocus Lotion is very hydrating, smells incredible and a little goes a long way.

If you want your complexion to GLOW try this collection! Glittery and shiny eyeshadows and beautiful highlighters. I’ve been loving these so much this summer. Pixi by Petra has lovely products and I’m so grateful that I received these samples. The highlighters are on my summer favourites blog post and video. Have a look if you like.

I LOVE THESE THINGS! SUMMER FAVOURITES

Here is the other Vichy duo that I received via Influenster. I love these two! Total hydration and light on the skin. Not greasy and very soothing.

Avon came out with these face masks and I love them so much. I really need to remind my self to do more masks. Sometimes I get so busy I forget. But I really love these. They rejuvinate my skin so much.

My family has been really loving the Avon Pure essential oils. These oils are single oils and 100% pure. They are only meant to be used for the diffuser. I love the Sweet Dreams Blend. It has Lavender and Roman Chamomile. It really helps with sleep and relaxation. The Happiness Blend is really revitalizing and it has grapefruit, lemon and sweet orange. I’m really excited for these oils and so glad I have them. Happiness Blend 10ml $15.00. Sweet Dreams Blend 10ml $22.00.

COLAB Paradise is amazing dry shampoo. I love it and thank you to Farleyco Beauty for the lovely sample. It’s my favourite scent. I wonder if they have a coconut one. Need to find that out. Love using COLAB not only for when my hair is oily but also to freshen up and give volume.

I actually won this book. It’s not a PR sample. I wanted to mention it because I’m enjoying it so much. I would like to finish this book by the end of the month. I like to set deadlines do you? It helps me complete things on time. Thanks to Simon & Schuster for this ARC and for the cute mug. I use it everyday.

I’ve also received Pro-Voke Liquid Blond. I really love my blond hair better when I use these two. It makes my hair warmer and golden. It makes my blond hair nice and shiny. I use this once or twice a week.

The Avon True Color Lip Glow Lip Gloss is my favourite summer gloss. I’ve been loving the colour light burst with the Make Up For Ever New Artist Pencil in the colour 602 completely sepia. Perfect lip duo! The Avon Lip gloss is 8ml for $10.00. The Artist pencils are available at Sephora and Sephora.ca.
