    How to Find Makeup for Sensitive Skin

    October 1, 2018 / No Comments

    Do you have sensitive skin? Me too sometimes. My younger daughter is the same actually but she’s prone to itching and feeling the impact of harsh fragrance first. Recently I bought a night cream that seemed excellent and was super moisturizing. But it actually made my skin break out. So I stopped using it and gave my skin a break. Then I tried it again. Sure enough I broke out immediately again. When you are an entrepreneur running your own business and brand that’s completely not cool. And together with my daughter we have many stories like that. Sometimes I absorb the loss and don’t use a product again but…

    Snatched – 15 Tried and True Spring Beauty Favorites

    March 8, 2018 /

    The winter months are super hard on my skin. I have had to change my skin and hair care routine a few times so far this year. Which is one reason I am looking forward to spring. Spring and summer bring much kinder skin and hair. In the meantime I have been swooning over some of the latest spring beauty favorites. Spring beauty favorites seemed like a great idea for a post this week. There are a few amazing products here that I use all the time in my home. And there are a few spring beauty products that I am coveting right now. There are also some great hair…

    Protecting Skin in a New Way with Skindinavia

    March 16, 2017 /

    Protecting skin is generally associated with blocking UV rays and moisturizing, but there’s one thing many women do almost every day that is hard on our skin. We wear makeup. To me makeup is a part of most days, but it’s also not the best for your skin. Now Skindinavia has a product that is great at protecting skin and helping it recover from makeup use. Protecting Skin from the Daily Routine If makeup suddenly fell out of fashion tomorrow would you care? I might actually. I tend to be pale without it and that’s not a great look for me. This year I have less and less time for makeup. It’s a total…

    First Shave – Building Good Hygiene Habits for Daughters #ad #moveslikenoother

    March 12, 2017 /

    This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Gillette Venus. All opinions are 100% mine. First shave. There are so many teen and tween developmental milestones that are tricky areas to navigate. First period, first kiss, first shave, first date. There’s really no rule book for these areas. Even though your girls will probably pretend they do not want to hear any of this information from Mom, it’s important that they learn.  I mean everything Mom does or says is embarrassing at a certain point, but still you have to keep the channels of communication open. And it’s important that you help build in some basic good hygiene…

    Healthy Hair and Skin with Aynara Pure Organic Argan Oil #AynaraBeauty

    October 5, 2016 /

    Healthy hair and skin is something we’re all after. It’s a constant game of choosing healthy foods, the best shampoos and conditioners, and the cremes we think will do the best job of keeping our skin hydrated and soft. There’s a new weapon that I’ve found for healthy hair and skin, and it’s Aynara Pure Organic Argan Oil. Healthy Hair and Skin with One Product I have used a different version of this product in the past on my hair, and it’s an excellent weapon against frizz. It’s also excellent to keep any hair hydrated and healthy. So, I was curious to see if Aynara was as effective on my…

    EcoTools ECOfriendly Makeup Brushes #Giveaway

    May 1, 2016 /

    My makeup kit is a beautiful mess. Up until recently, my makeup brushes were too. I’m a pretty thrifty gal and I tend to use everything up until every last bit is gone. Sometimes that means things are falling apart before I replace them. Take my blush for instance. It’s a classic Estee Lauder compact that I love and bought two years ago now. It was a splurge and it’s lasted, but now it’s falling apart and there’s coral blush powder everywhere. Not unlike my makeup brushes. I figured spring was a good time to give my makeup bag an eco-makeover. EcoTools, a leading line of beauty accessories, is known for its…

    Kiss Best Affordable Nail Products and a Giveaway

    May 5, 2015 /

    Every so often my kids and I like to just call a girl’s day or girl’s night and do something fun together. This past week we had a great girl’s day planned. I booked it months ago. We planned to take a day and drive to Stratford, Ontario to see The Diary of Anne Frank. It was the first ever Schuck girl’s day at Stratford. So we dressed up a bit, took the day off school, and the afternoon off work, and we were almost ready to hit the road. The kids decided fancy nails were in order. So we pulled out our Kiss Broadway nails. I had a package…

    End Bad Hair Days With Living Proof Hair Products #Curl411

    April 9, 2015 /

    Good hair days don’t have to be few and far between. It’s no secret that this winter was hard on my hair. I tweeted about it often enough, and I think most of you have already heard me ranting about dry winter hair. I am a curly-haired woman, some days more waves than curls, and that’s alright by me. When I was little and the curls were always tangly and dry, well I was not so much a fan of my curly hair. I would have traded it for the short dark shiny straight Snow White hair my BFF Sheila had. Her hair was No fuss. It was always sporty…

    Easter Bunny Nail Art Tutorial Happy Easter! Well, soon to be Easter! I enjoy Easter as a rule because it is the first spring holiday and a great relief after all the snowy holidays. I love to see family and have a great meal together. And the weather means you can usually visit with a little less drama from the snowy weather. You could actually still ski if you wanted to. In fact I might actually try to sneak away just to do that very thing at some point. But not before we try this Easter Bunny Nail Art Tutorial on our finger nails. What you’ll need: Light/pastel blue nail…
