  • Summer 2015 Bucket List

     (Source) This past week I’ve been getting excited for fun summer times ahead. I thought it would be a nice idea to share some of the (realistic) things I’m hoping to do during the summer months.  Here’s my current 12 ideas in no particular order: Upper Clements Park. This is the only good amusement park in the province in my opinion (that I know of). Now that Max is old enough to truly enjoy a trip down to an amusement park, I thought this would be a great day trip for us to make. Camping at Kejimkujik National Park. Max loves the outdoors so we’d love to make a few…

  • Review | Pantene Pro-V Root Reboot Dry Shampoo

    Last night I had a product review post just about ready to publish, finishing up the links etc. when I came across an announcement (or whatever you’d like to call it), stating that the product had just been discontinued. Dammit!! I didn’t see the point in doing a post on something that will no longer be available once the shelves clear. So, sorry for the lack of a weekend post this past weekend, but here’s a bit of a replacement review for you. Today I’m talking about the Pantene Pro-V Root Reboot Dry Shampoo. I’ve had this product for many months now, just trying to love it, but I can’t…

  • Ipsy May 2015 Unboxing

    I’ve only been subscribed to Ipsy for a few months, I wrote a post on the first one I received in February. In that post I also go over the details of the subscription, so if you’re not sure about pricing etc. go on over to check that out. The theme for this months bag is Jetsetter. First off, can we talk about how cute this makeup bag is this month? I cannot wait to carry this around in my purse with me! It reads: ‘Contents: My Life. Breakups to Makeup’. Love it. This bag is also a different shape from the others I’ve received, it’s almost square, whereas the…

  • Let’s Chat!

    (Source) Hi everyone! Today’s post is going to be a bit of a different one. I just wanted to write a bit of a chatty one today, and maybe get the chance to know you guys a bit better as well. First off, how was your Mother’s Day weekend? Did you have a nice weekend with your kids? Or did you travel to go see your mom? Or if you still live at home, maybe you and your mom had an extra special day/weekend? Mother’s Day weekend looks a bit different to me than perhaps most. Every year it is kind of like my designated ‘kid-free weekend’. My mom takes…

  • FOTD – Where The Light Is

    After writing my post on the Colourpop x Kathleen Lights collaboration, I thought I should show you guys this foursome in action. For this look I loosely followed the tutorial that Kathleen Lights has up on her channel – watch it here. As I said in my previous post, the texture of these shadows is the strangest thing I’ve ever experienced; but I kind of love it! I have yet to find the perfect brushes to apply these shadows with, I believe they’d work best with more dense brushes, or your fingers of course. Base: Hourglass Veil Mineral primerCoverGirl Ready Set Gorgeous foundation in 105 Classic IvoryMaybelline Instant Age Rewind…

  • Empties | Products I’ve Used Up

    Today I thought I’d do my first empties/products I’ve used up post because I had a few items collected in my basket and I noticed this morning I’m about to run out of a ton of products in the coming weeks. The thought of my first empties post being even longer than this one seemed a bit too daunting to me for whatever reason. Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer for Fair to Medium Skin Tones. I’ve had this floating around my stash for almost 3 years. I never used it that consistently because I found that if you applied it a few days in a row, which is its intended…

  • ColourPop Haul and Review

     When I heard that Kathleen Lights, who is my favourite YouTuber of the moment, was coming out with a foursome collaboration with ColourPop, I knew I wanted to get it. I purchased both her Where The Light Is foursome, and her lippie stix and pencil in Lumière. I also bought the lippie stix and pencil in Frida, which was an older collaboration with CoffeeBreakwithDani, another YouTuber I enjoy watching. The foursome was $20, which I think is a fair price considering their individual shadows are $5 each. Each lippie stix and pencil were $5. In my opinion, these are great prices, even better than many brands at the drugstore, with…

  • Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac

    Every spring I wear this polish to death.  Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme wear in 270 Lacey Lilac is just as the name would suggest; it is a beautiful light lilac colour. I shook the bottle up quite well for the picture so you can’t really tell, but there is a significant amount gone, about a centimetre. I’d say that’s pretty impressive for a nail polish! I really like the formula of these polishes, and have quite a few in my ‘collection’ (if you could even call it that). Also, you can often find them on sale at your drugstore for ~$1.99; can’t beat that! Do you have a…

  • OOTD – Saturday Errands
