    20 Elegant DIY Winter Manicures

    December 1, 2016 /

    Are you creative and clever when it comes to makeup and manicures? I am not the most creative or talented in that regard. But my two daughters are forever googling DIY nail tutorials. Some of their favourite Youtubers are beauty vloggers. So, I figured this year I might bundle up a few pretty winter manicure ideas here to share with you and with my girls too. I love the cute little designs that some people can pull off without any effort at all. Well, at least it looks that way to me, because it takes me forever just to draw something simple like a rainbow. This year I am going…

    My Five Favourite Travel Necessities

    June 14, 2016 /

    I have been giving travel a lot of thought this year and trying to up my game. That got me thinking about my five travel necessities. You know, those things that you have grown to love as a frequent traveler or a travel blogger? We each have some products we love and rarely leave home without. These are my favourite travel products that keep me sane on the road. I have been consistently traveling once a month and that has made me more conscientious about what I need to travel, and what I can live without when I am away from home. Recently I took stock of my five travel necessities…

    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…

    Do it Yourself Homemade Deodorant

    February 1, 2015 /

    As an alternative to store bought deodorants that often contain strange things you cannot even pronounce, many people prefer to make their own. There are many things that can be used as a natural deodorant. After doing some research recently I thought I’d give DIY Homemade Deodorant a try.

    Trind Nail Products for Damaged Nails #trindrehab #giveaway

    July 1, 2014 /

      I had beautiful nails for months. It’s true. They were gorgeous.  And I got a lot of comments back when I was using gel polish, getting my nails done professionally. My professional image is part of my business. When I look good, I present a more professional image to the world as a strategist and entrepreneur. I feel more confident and I land more contracts. Confidence is important. I had lovely, coloured, polished, shiny nails for maybe even the greater part of a year and I enjoyed having them done. So, what’s the problem, you ask? Well, I mean, have you tried shellac? If you have, then you know…
