Hello my lovely readers and friends! I’ve missed you all so much! How are you? Hope you are all well. I’m really excited about this beautiful weather we are having in Toronto. It’s finally here. Everything is green and beautiful!
New and exciting things. I’m back online and blogging. Which is very exciting. I had a lovely Birthday and a few lovely gifts which I will share in the coming Summer posts. On Mother’s Day I had my hair coloured and cut. My sweet hubby put a new closet in our bedroom from (IKEA) and I also received a few lovely PR samples which I’m excited to share with you. May has been amazing so far and I’m very grateful.
I must mention that I’m having a lovely giveaway on my IG Account. Feel free to enter. I really love Jo Malone fragrances and products and I feel this is a lovely summer fragrance. It smells like a rose garden. All you have to do is follow my IG account, like the photo, tag three people and make sure you are following my Beauty channel on YouTube and that’s it! I’ll be choosing a random winner on May 31st.

Get your hands and feet ready for Summer sandals and flip flops! I’m here to share with you some lovely treatments and polishes that will have your hands and feet looking and feeling really amazing! I love to soak my feet in Dr. Teal’s Pink Himalayan Mineral Soak. This really helps with the aches and pains of standing up on my feet all day.
I then like to use a rock or filer to scrape the dry skin off my feet and really exfoliate them. In the warm water I love to add the Lavender 3 in 1 Pampering oil. Makes the feet super nice and soft. I must add that AVON has incredible skincare products especially the ANEW line for the face and the foot works is my fave!
Once I finish scraping the heels I use *AVON FOOT WORKS Ginger & White smoothing scrub. This exfoliates and gives my feet a polished glow. The scrub leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth and energized. It is 100ml and $8.00.
I continue by drying my feet really well and putting a clay mask on them. The *Avon Foot Works Ginger & White Clay Mask with kaolin, is a natural oil-absorbing clay. Enhanced with white tea and ginger root extracts. It leaves my feet feeling so soft. 100ml for $8.00. I rinse it off and put the *Avon Foot Works Ginger & White tea moisturizer on which keeps my feet moisturized for 24 hours! It makes my feet super soft and smooth. This is 100ml. for $8.00.
This collection is my absolute favourite right now. I can’t get enough of it. Smells incredible and it is so amazing. I’m a very happy person when I use this trio. You must try these! These are definitely my June Favourites!

Thank you so much to AVON, Influenster and Brill Communications for the beautiful samples. I truly grateful and very happy with everything!
*anything marked with a * has been given to me as a sample for review purposes.
When Life gives you lemons you squeeze them and make lemonade! Or something like that. Well I was hoping to take a vacation this summer but life happens. SO change of plans! Just going to stick around Toronto and vlog my summer! 🙂 All is good though. I’m very excited actually. Even though I’m dying to see the ocean and smell it and touch it and feel it….LOL I’m okay and the lake will do for now.
I’m very happy that the weather is so nice and everything is green and beautiful! I’ve been preparing my feet and my legs for the nice weather. I’m very self-conscious about my legs and having two children my body has changed quite a bit. I am torn inside by the stretch marks and the weight gain. I’m working my way to loving the way I am and making healthy and better lifestyle choices. One of the choices is Clarins Body Fit Anti-Cellulite Contouring Expert.
I started using the CLARINS Body Fit Anti-Cellulite Contouring Expert and it’s been helping me take care of my legs. I tend to ignore taking care of my legs and I always hide them. Especially the back of the legs and behind the knees. It’s a very emotional thing for me to talk about, but using the Clarins Body fit along with the Self-Massage Body Appliance is helping me a lot. I’m finding that I’m starting to like the way my legs look and feel. Focusing on my body and legs helps a lot because taking care of them is a positive boost to my self esteem. The Effective body coaching advice and tips from Dr. Olivier Courtin booklet is also very helpful and motivating on this journey. I highly recommend it.
The new name and new formula are completely in line with Clarins’ “healthy philosophy” that includes a balanced lifestyle for achieving a fit body. Body Fit, the 7th generation formula, capitalizes on the strengths of its predecessors and goes even further in terms of body contouring results thanks to an unprecedented discovery made by Clarins Research: there are not 1 but 3 adipocytes involved in the expansion of adipose tissue and the formation of cellulite. -CLARINS
High-performing plants extracts offer optimal contouring results and skin that looks visibly more beautiful. Quince leaf extract’s targeted action is reinforced by caffeine, a known slimming ingredient, along with 7 other plant extracts: organic aquatic mint, celosia, baccharis, scabious, horse chestnut, sunflower phospholipids, and hazelnut oil. -CLARINS
The Body fit comes in a new bottle with sexy curves that symbolize the “perfect” silhouette. A new, highly sensorial texture that makes application pleasurable and visible results. I’m very happy with the way the formula has a cooling sensation and applies nicely and smoothly. The Multi-Mass is a complete self-massage body device exclusive to CLARINS care products. It’s benefits are as follows: A body polishing and firming booster to help reduce fluid retention on the thighs, buttocks and hips. It strengthens the skin while helping to improve the tonicity and firmness of the tissues. Ideal for removing impurities and dead cells. Can be used to relax and soothe legs and back. I’m very pleased and I continue to use both products. The Body Fit is $70.00.
Not only am I getting my legs fit but I’m also giving them a natural sun-kissed glow with this duo. Avon Skin So Soft Satin Glow Skin Illuminator and Skin So Soft Body Gel Moisturizer. I love this duo so much. They don’t smell like tanning lotion and they are nice and hydrating. They smell really amazing and make my skin soft and smooth. The results are so nice and natural. I’m very pleased. Have you tried this duo? Would love to know your thoughts.
Avon Skin So Soft Satin Glow Skin Illuminator
Look like you’ve been on a tropical vacay without leaving home. “Our moisturizing formulas also give you a beautifully bronzed glow.” Scented with hints of orange, green tea and vanilla. Silky moisturizing cream with sunflower oil. With sheer optical illuminators for a hint of colour and the perfect sheen. 200ml. BENEFITS: Optical illuminators diffuse light to magically blur imperfections. Silky moisturizing cream provides a hint of colour and sheen and leaves your skin feeling radiant and satin-smooth.
Skin So Soft Body Gel Moisturizer
Scented with hints of orange, green tea and vanilla. Hydrating gel glides on leaving skin touchably soft with no greasy after-feel. See a natural-looking radiant glow after just 3 days. 200ml. BENEFITS : Instantly absorbed. Glides on easily and streak-free. Leaves skin touchably soft and radiant and it is Non-greasy.
Let’s talk HAIR! Let me say there is nothing wrong with body hair. I just prefer not to have any. I like smooth silky skin. I use to wax but it is too expensive and hurts like hell. So I use Avon’s Hair removal creams and also the Shaving gel as well. I love this line. It’s fast and easy and it’s great for sensitive skin!
I’m very happy to be using AVON’s Moisturizing hair removal formulas. They easily remove unwanted body hair and leave skin feeling softer and smoother. I’ve been using the Sensitive Skin Body Hair Removal Cream which removes body hair in 2 1/2 minutes! it comes in 125ml and it is $10.00. Love using the Moisturizing Silky Stay Shave Gel. 200ml for $6.00. Fresh & Smooth Sensitive Skin Facial Hair Removal Cream. It Effectively removes unwanted facial hair for sensitive skin. With aloe and fragrance-free. 30ml $10.00.

I’ve been vlogging and busy blogging. I hope you had an opportunity to see my Vlogs. Here is my latest vlog. If you are not subscribed to my channel I would love for you to subscribe.

They are the joy of my life.
So along with vlogging yesterday I received a few new lovely PR samples that I’ll be sharing with you this month on the blog.
