October 25, 2012 by · 2 Comments
Many of you may have already heard me talk about my thick, colour treated, dry hair and how I'm always on the hunt for quality shampoo and conditioners. I haven't been able to find a "supermarket/drugstore" brand that works for my hair type and I'm always on the hunt for quality, reasonably priced hair products.

Beecology {Review}
October 16, 2012 by · 4 Comments
I have very, very thick, colour treated, dry hair and I'm always on the hunt for quality shampoo and conditioners. The gallon of shampoo or conditioner for $1.99 brands just don't work for me, I end up looking like I permanently have my finger in a light socket. Plus, I don't like a lot of chemicals in my hair products, I prefer products that have natural ingredients with no sulfates or parabens, both of which can damage your hair and skin. When I recently had the opportunity to try some … [Read more...]

I remember the very first time I saw this movie, I dragged my reluctant husband with me and we waited in a huge line, in the freezing cold, for close to an hour before finally getting into the theatre. However, it was worth the wait and I wasn't disappointed. I loved just about everything about this movie and apparently I wasn't alone! Nominated for fourteen Academy Awards®, it won eleven, including the awards for Best Picture and Best Director. With an initial worldwide gross of over … [Read more...]
Want to freshen up your damaged summer skin? {PMD Review}
September 18, 2012 by · Leave a Comment
My skin is not as young as it once was and is now starting to show it's age! I'm not sure about you but my skin also seems to take quite a beating every summer. Maybe it's all the time spent outside gardening, the wind, sun, salt and sand at the ocean or maybe I'm not hydrating enough. Whatever the reason, my skin is dull, parched, damaged and lifeless. I need help! I'm sure many of you have heard of microdermabrasion, the idea behind it is if you break-apart and remove dead skin cells on … [Read more...]
