    February 14, 2019 /

Have you always wanted to make homemade soap, but never quite got around to doing it or figuring out how to make it? Well, today’s your lucky day because I have a foolproof, easy DIY for Homemade Rosemary Soap. Crafty Kids My teen is slightly obsessed with all things Pinterest.

    How to Find Makeup for Sensitive Skin

    October 1, 2018 /

    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…

    How Your Period Affects Your Skin

I mean it’s a symbol of fertility and you either welcome it or dread it monthly for decades. Between mood swings, cramping, and sometimes pregnancy scares, your period has probably given you headaches – both figuratively and literally – for years. Did you know there’s another thing affected by menstruation? I know, I know – that isn’t enough. It’s true, though. Periods affect the look and health of our skin.

    How to Choose the Best Products for Curly Hair

    August 13, 2018 /

    Curly hair is beautiful. I didn’t always think so. When I was a child I had super curly, often frizzy hair. It took me years to understand how to take care of my curls and honestly it took me a while to figure out that it was one of my favourite physical features. Thank goodness for hair products. As a child I was stuck with frizzy unmanageable hair. We never had conditioner in the house because my Mom didn’t have curly hair and had no idea mine needed conditioner. In fact moisturizing products and curl tamers are my mainstay now as an adult with curly hair. Choosing the Best Products…

    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…

    Take Care of Yourself, So You Can Take Care of Others

    December 13, 2017 /

    From the moment they arrive, your kids become your number-one priority. We all know it, and there’s nothing wrong with that — but it sometimes causes you to neglect yourself. Here’s the thing: Taking a break and treating yourself is absolutely necessary for a healthy body and mind. Moms need to remember to take care of themselves — and yes, sometimes even spoil themselves — so they can properly take care of their children. BOTOX COSMETIC® treatments here in London, Ontario (or another treatment at the medical spa) are sometimes all the R&R you need to look and feel rejuvenated. And by the way, you deserve it. Why Your Skin…

    Preventing Head Lice – 3 Easy Ways to Keep Them Away

    September 13, 2017 /

    Preventing head lice is key when you have kids attending summer camps or heading back to school. Head lice are nasty. Once they take hold on your child’s head, they are tough to get rid of. They start to lay eggs almost immediately, and they multiply quickly. Children can contract head lice almost anywhere, since they spread fast, so it’s important for your child to know what not to do to avoid head lice. Prevention is the name of the game with head lice. Preventing Head Lice – Stopping an Infestation Before it Starts Here’s the thing that’s so important to remember about head lice. Any child can get them. A…

    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…
