I want to tell you guys the story about that time I went to Mexico and I didn't bring any sunscreen with me. A friend had convinced me that it would be better to just buy a container of sunscreen when I got there, instead of worrying about trying to find the right travel sized container that would be okay to bring in my carry-on luggage. However, once I got to Puerta … [Read more...]
Summertime Sun Protection to Help Keep You Looking Ageless with Olay
This July Olay is coming out with two new SPF 30 products, the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream with SPF 30 and the Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging Moisturizer with SPF 30. Now, I love the idea of a moisturizer that has sun protection built in, but I already have a favourite, so I wondered how these new products would compare. I am such a geek. I actually sat and read … [Read more...]
When Sixty is the New Forty…
My mom gets giddy everytime P&G sends me goodies from Olay. I keep the odd item for myself (hello, magic eye cream!), but I mostly give it all to her. I mean, I'm not about to start slathering myself in creams and lotions in an attempt to ward off old age. I don't really have a beauty regime. I wear make-up once in a blue moon, and when I do I always remember to wash it off … [Read more...]

Spring Means No More PJs at the Bus Stop – Motherhood Confession
Spring has sprung. I'm not sure that I should admit this but when it comes to getting out the door to the school bus in the morning I hate the warmer weather. When it's cold out I get to wear a coat, my tall boots and a touque, which hide all sorts of things. When I'm wearing my big winter boots no one can tell my socks don't match. With a touque no one can see my frizzy crazy … [Read more...]
All Natural Beauty with Mia Mairu
How excited can a girl get about make-up? Many women I knew loved make-up and had favorite brands and colours. I remember not leaving the house with out my make-up on but that was years ago. The years before I had kids. The years before I was too tired. The years before I knew what was actually in make-up and learned about chemicals and dangers. Now I was a crunchy momma. A … [Read more...]
Lafes Line of All-Natural Baby Products {Review}
First let me give you a little background on what has been happening with my family lately. We have recently just moved from, surrounded by lakes southern Ontario to smack dab in the middle of Alberta (a tad on the drier side). Also the town we moved to is a bit small (with 2990 residents) and about 90 minutes from the nearest big city. I ended up receiving my package from … [Read more...]
