Holiday Gift Ideas From Shoppers Drugmart

I wanted to share some great gift giving ideas. Don’t stress! There are so many lovely gifts you can buy from Shoppers Drugmart. Here are a few gift ideas that I feel you can’t go wrong with.

CHOCOLATE! You can never go wrong with yummy chocolate. One of my favourite chocolates is Ferrero Rocher.

QUO Rose Gold Brush set. It’s absolutely beautiful and makeup brushes always make a lovely gift.

Squishmallow Plush Penguin! Everyone should buy a Squishmallow! My girls adore these and they sleep with them. They are so super soft. These make the best gift for children.

I would love this as a gift. It looks amazing and most important it cleans teeth so much better then a regular toothbrush. Oral B Braun Toothbrushes are amazing.

Eye Studio Sampler is so lovely. There are s many mascaras that are nice in this gift. WOW! PUR, Clarins, Clinique and Lise Waiter. All so amazing.

I also love this Deluxe Fragrance gift box because you get small bottles of high end fragrances.

I need a hottie in my life! This is the Aroma Home Microwave Hottie. You warm this beauty up in the microwave and place it on your body to warm you up or to help with aches and pains.

Who loves Ariana Grande? I do! This is the loveliest gift for anyone who loves Ariana. It’s a cute bottle am I right? Top notes are: Lavender, Pear and Bergamot, Heart notes are: Coconut, Praline and Vanilla Orchid, Base note: Cashmere.

The following gifts are really amazing for everyone but especially people who love to host parties.

The following gifts are SO COZY! I would love and be so grateful if I received the following gifts.

I hope you enjoyed all the gift giving ideas! Have a wonderful December and Happy Holidays!

Hello September! Paint Party Friday!

It’s been a long summer and I had so much fun with my girls. We went to so many places around Toronto and they loved it. We went to the Art Gallery of Ontario, The Museum, the Science Centre and the CNE. We also saw two movies this summer. We saw Despicable Me 3 and the Emoji Movie. We had a lovely lunch date with my cousin and God Mother to my eldest daughter. Anna took us to see the emoji movie and to an amazing lunch at Swiss Chalet. Anna probably won’t read this but I want to thank her so much because she always makes time for us and takes us out around this time every year. She is truly incredible and has a big heart. We love her so much. If you’re reading this Anna, I love you and thank you!

The girls and I had fun and they are ready to go back to school. They are looking forward to it and I’m very happy for them. I’m not ready for school lunches though. It is such a huge challenge to make school lunches. But thank goodness for Pinterest.

I would like to say thank you to Five Star Canada for the pencil case. I won it on instagram @bestdayblogger.

My daughter loves it and it’s perfect for back to school.

Speaking of back to school, I bought the girls backpacks, lunch bags and containers for their snacks and food. I also bought water bottles, binders, pencil cases, markers and pens. I think that covers it for school supplies. I still haven’t bought Fall clothing. They have fall jackets thank goodness and hopefully their winter boots will still fit this year. It’s so crazy how they grow out of their shoes and clothing every year.

Speaking of back to school how cute are these QUO Beauty Kits? I wish I had these when I was in high school or university. They are so cute and I love how colourful they are. These are available at Shoppers Drug Mart. This is not an ad. I kindly received these as samples and I love them! Super cute for back to school.

Holiday Shopping and Fun at STC #HolidayMRKT | Vlogmas Is Here With Good Cheer!

Vlogmas is here and I’ll be uploading a video everyday in December and I sure hope you join me on this adventure! The first day of Vlogmas I had the wonderful opportunity to visit my favourite mall in Toronto. Scarborough Town Centre has some amazing and wonderful Holiday displays. I’ve seen Scarborough Town Centre evolve over the years. They have created a space that is interactive, innovative and have created a magical holiday experience that is unforgettable for shoppers.

The #HolidayMRKT is truly amazing for shopping because they have a coat check and you can have your gifts wrapped all in one area. The proceeds for the wrapping go toward Epilepsy Toronto.

At the #HolidayMRKT they have services that hold on to your shopping bags while you continue shopping. This way you don’t have to carry all your bags around in the mall. I must tell you all the staff that work at the #HolidayMRKT are super friendly and very helpful. The Food Market is also brand new and truly amazing. I highly recommend you visit the STC. You will have the best shopping experience. I love the personalized Christmas ornaments. They have so many to choose from and they make the best Christmas gifts ever. A perfect gift giving idea for the Holidays.

I really enjoyed the virtual reality slay ride and the selfie station. So much fun! If you would like the opportunity to win a $500 shopping spree take a picture at the #HolidayMRKT and share it on Social Media with the hashtag and you will have the chance to win! Amazing right?

The Sweet Market is amazing filled with treats to make your experience even sweeter!

I kindly received a beautiful gift bag full of goodies from Iris Sinilong, she is the Digital Marketing Specialist at STC and she is super friendly, sweet and amazing at her job. I kindly received a bag of goodies from the #HolidayMRKT and the #SweetMRKT. I absolutely love everything! The Cheese Cake is really soft, fluffy and delicious from Love Me Sweet, the Greek Sweets are hand crafted and so delicious from Meli Baklava and Chocolate and the sweet candies are from Squish. These make for the perfect Holiday host/hostess gift don’t you think? If you are visiting a friend or family over the Holiday don’t show up empty handed, instead show up with a delicious cheese cake or some sweets from Meli Baklava and Chocolate!

Thank you so much to Iris Sinilong and STC for making my visit to the mall amazing and truly special. Thank you so much! I hope you have the opportunity to visit the mall and check out the #HolidayMRKT make sure to take that fun selfie!

Have a wonderful and jolly Holiday everyone!

Birthday. Love .Gratitude

It’s my 40th Birthday today! Woo hoo!

I would like to say thank you to God for everything he has given me. Life is a gift and I’m grateful to my mother for bringing me in to this world. I’m truly blessed and grateful for everything and for everyone who is in my life. Thank you all for your wonderful support with my blog and with your positive words and encouragement. I’m truly grateful.

Lovely gifts

Truly grateful for the lovely gifts I received. I’m sharing these with you not to show off or anything like that. Just wanted to share with you what I kindly received.

Here I have a lovely gift from my husband. He bought me a jean jacket from Forever 21 and some amazing aviator sunglasses. He also bought me beautiful flowers and a Michael Kors purse also a HARVARD Sweater. So happy and very grateful!

Last week the weather was so nice I went shopping at Scarborough Town Centre. I bought two lovely camisoles and a pretty handbag from Forever21. I also bought two quarter length sleeve cotton tops from ZARA and two perfumes.

I also had my hair highlighted at the salon.

So today is my 40th birthday and I don’t know if you remember the post and video that I made about ’40 things to do before 40′? Well I wasn’t able to complete all the things on my list but I have half of them completed. Would you like me to update the post with the things that I completed? Let me know. I also want to get back in to my vlogs. I’ve neglected my vlog channel and I really want to work on it more. What are your thoughts?

On Friday I went out with my good friends Leanne and Chris downtown Toronto and I’m really glad I did because I miss them so much and I had so much fun with them. Being a full time mommy I haven’t been able to go out and enjoy my self and It was so nice and really amazing to get out of my routine and catch up on good old times. I have a vlog from our outing coming very soon. We went to the Korean Grill House on Queen Street and it was really great! I’ve never been to a restaurant where you cook your own food so it was a really nice experience. After the restaurant we got some amazing dessert.

Here is a picture of my friend Chris, Leanne and I having fun at the restaurant.

After dinner we walked toward Spadina to grab some dessert and we spotted this amazing tribute.

KeKou Gelato is really delicious gelato. So refreshing and I love the flavours! I got Green Tea Whiskey and Mango. I miss it already!

Here I am with my best friend Leanne. I adore her and she is a sweetheart! I’ve known Leanne for over 20 years and our friendship is truly very special to me.

Love you Leanne! 🙂

I’m truly grateful for all the people in my life including all of you who read my blog and leave me wonderful comments and support me. It means so much to me. Thank you so much! I also want to thank all the people whom follow me on other platforms of social media. It truly means a lot and thank you from my heart!

Thank you to my wonderful friends and family who came over, had cake with me, who left me messages on Facebook, Twitter and IG and on the phone. I love you all!

Thank you all for all your Birthday wishes and love!

I’m truly grateful, very blessed and very happy!

Vlog coming soon!

I had to select the Bold Metals collection by Real Techniques. They are so soft and beautiful. I also chose the Real Techniques setting brush. I had to choose the NYC Bronzer because I’ve heard so many good things about it. I also chose three matte lipsticks from the JCat brand. I’ve never heard of the brand before and I can’t wait to try them out. I had to buy Milani gel powder shadows and NYX Single eyeshadows. I also chose the Moschino UOMO Cologne for my hubby. A lovely peppery spicy scent. Really nice. I bought a few eyelashes because I want to do a video about learning how to put lashes on. I also chose the Real Techniques miracle complexion sponge. Really excited to use the sponge because I’ve read great reviews about it. I also chose the Macaron Lip Balm in Strawberry flavour. I love Macaron’s and I thought it was so adorable!
