    Tria Beauty Series Post 4: At Home Hair Removal

    March 4, 2013 - By 

    Tria at Home Hair removal laser has been a regular part of my daily routine now for several weeks. This is post number four about the device which promises to remove hair permanently from legs, underarms and other areas of the body where unwanted hair grows. At the end of this series I get to give a device away (worth $449) and the giveaway will be open to Canada and the U.S. I have been faithfully using the Tria for several weeks, and have seen it easily integrate into the morning beauty routine here. It works best after a shower…

    Peanut Butter What? #CanWin #LMDConnector

    February 6, 2013 - By 

    Well, we are very big Cheerios eaters here. It’s true. My family loves every variation of Cheerios and has for years, from first food to my husband’s only choice for maintaining his strict ninja training regimen (TEEHee!) Joking a bit, but honestly he’s fitness mad and he will only eat Cheerios. And I like to mock his ninja training while pursuing my own yoga training and weight lifting. We all love trying each new flavour of this tried and true staple in our kitchen. Anywho when I heard wind of this new peanut butter flavour offered for a limited time…

    There’s only one Yo Gabba Gabba. Nothing else is quite like it. The fun and quirky techno musical show was a crazy hit from the moment it hit the TV. So how about the musical soundtracks and CDs based on the show? Well, luckily we landed one here for review and another for a giveaway. Yo Gabba Gabba Live starts with the Live Show Remix and hits cute fun lively songs like Pancakes & Syrup then onto That’s What Friends Are For.

    Schneider’s Lunchmate Plus Fruit #Giveaway

    November 28, 2012 - By 

    Every Mom – or Dad – knows lunchbox letdown is a big deal when you are a kid. So how do you avoid the lunchbox coming back home from school completely full at end of day? Well, here, at the Schuck casa, we are huge fans of protein, fruit and vegetables in  lunches and snacks. We try to eat healthy and give our kids good options for meals. School lunches have always been a challenge. And I think that’s the case for pretty much every parent alive. So once a week our kids get hot lunch and that saves me…

    Dempster’s Farmhouse Country White Bread #Giveaway

    November 12, 2012 - By 

    What’s your favorite sandwich? I like mine toasted first on a great bread, something substantial, not flimsy or too grainy. The bread, for me, is like the canvas for a work of art. I need it to be well constructed so I can build it high with all the fixings. First I like a good Swiss cheese, then liverwurst, mayonnaise, mustard and salami, maybe a slice of ham too, if we have it. Then I warm the whole thing up for about 20 seconds. Perfection. Writing about it makes me hungry. You can see, with that amount of yummy stuff…

    Health Warrior Chia Bars: Energy Bar Review and #giveaway (US only)

    October 22, 2012 - By 

    So what exactly is a Health Warrior Chia seed Bar and how can it keep your exercise, fitness and health regimen on track this holiday season? Chia is an ancient seed once used by the Tarahumara Indians to fuel their bodies. Legend has it they ran barefoot for miles all day long fuelled by Chia seeds.

A powerful antioxidant, Chia has more Omega 3 fatty acids than salmon, more fibre than oatmeal, more calcium than milk, more protein than tofu and more magnesium than broccoli.…
