    Skindinavia Makeup Primer Spray Review

    June 20, 2014 - By 

    Skindinavia Makeup Primer spray is the perfect solution to summer beauty. Easy to pack and lightweight, this primer spray will solve your summer skin problems. One of my absolute favourite parts of summer is the simple fact that the lovely warm temperatures mean I can wear little to no makeup some days. Skin is almost always slightly flushed and glowing and my hair can be tamed with a hat or sunglasses. I love that. I’d take it any day over the constant attention needed in the winter. Winter brings dry skin needing moisture daily. Summer is quite the opposite. A…

    When is it Okay to Start Wearing Makeup?

    March 25, 2014 - By 

    Mom, when can I wear makeup? My oldest daughter started asking about wearing makeup when she was ten. In my head I call her my breadcrumb daughter. She always leaves me little clues as to what she has been up to, almost as if she wants to be caught when she does something out of character or defiant. And around that time, my tubes of mascara went missing. Without much detective work, I could quietly find them in her desk drawer, or in her backpack. I mostly chalked that one up to curiosity. But the questions started then – at…

    Banish the Eczema Itch Now

    January 21, 2014 - By 

    I haven’t itched all week. Why should you care? Well, if you are like me, you either have some experience with mild eczema, or you have a family member with that persistent itchy skin that won’t seem to go away. Did you know 20 % of the population will experience eczema? Did you know there are several different types of this skin condition which can be red scaly patches on your skin that end up cracking, rashing, or even oozing liquid? One common type is cradle cap. Another is contact dermatitis, which is often brought on by excessive handwashing. But…

    Philosophy Miracle Worker Review

    December 27, 2013 - By 

    Funny thing, but after forty, your skin care needs change drastically. Women’s skin care products like Philosophy – Miracle Worker Miraculous Anti-Aging Moisturizer 56g/2oz are formulated to boost skin that is showing signs of aging and wear and tear. I lusted after, but had never used this product until I attended Blissdom Canada in the fall in Mississauga. Philosophy was one of the sponsors at the blogging event and, as such, they were handing out samples and chatting up bloggers in their restful lounge. After a skin care consultation, it was determined I needed this line: Miracle Worker. I tried…

    Murad Women’s Skin Care Products Review

    September 15, 2013 - By 

    I received Murad Women’s Skin Care product for consideration here. My opinion is all my own. Post may also contain affiliate links as a service to readers. Forty is a fantastic decade and yet slightly ironic at the same time. Just as you hit your groove with kids, career and finances, well there goes your metabolism and by the way your skin starts to be let’s just say, less resilient. Luckily, there are products that help. And these days as the middle aged blip begins to grow ever so steadily, piggy backing right behind the Baby Boomers, well brands simply…

    Beautiful Hair Builds Confidence

    July 10, 2012 - By 

      There are very few things in  life that can make a woman feel as sexy as a great hair colour, style or cut. Beautiful hair that looks healthy just makes you feel some kind of way. I am that girl. Always have been. The girl who likes her hair to look good and demands that her hair products or brands keep pace with a busy lifestyle. In my 40s, I have a need to touch up those little annoying greys that show up every so often at the temple. Hydrating and Curl Defining I like quality hair products that…
