Burt's Bees Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin

I was quite skeptical about trying Burt's Bees Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive skin, because I have so much trouble finding products that will not irritate my skin.  Before I tried Burt's Bees my skin was dry and not very healthy looking, because I had not been using a daily moisturizer.  After a few days of using Burt's Bees I was impressed to see, that my skin was not being irritated and my skin was starting to feel soft and more healthy looking.

The Sensitive Facial Cleanser is soap-free and is clinically proven to moisturize sensitive skin while gently cleansing away dirt, oil and makeup without drying or causing redness or irritation.  I found this to be a big help to me, as a lot of harsh soaps tend to make me red, or very itchy.  This product retails for $12.99 Cdn.

The Sensitive Daily Moisturizer, is an all day moisturizer, nourishes, and moisturizes for an all day affect.  It again doesn't cause irritation, and it's a non-comedogenic - which means it won't clog your pores.  How awesome is that?  Very important thing, when you have skin that is allergic to harsh chemicals that can clog pores. This product retails for  $24.99 Cdn   Both of these wonderful products can be found at Shoppers Drug Mart and Walmart Nationwide.  Oh and both are 99% natural :)

Overall I would give both of these a 5 out of 5.  I will be using both of them from now on.  Because they are Gentle on the skin, fragrance-free, hypo-allergenic and dermatologist tested and allergy tested.  Great products, that have made my skin healthy and happy.

Scrubbing Bubbles One Step Toilet Bowl Cleaner Review

I always cringed at the thought of having to clean the toilet, but not any more. I tried the new SC Johnson product that helps with that task, without having to get down and dirty. That product is Scrubbing Bubbles One Step Toilet bowl cleaner, and it's made cleaning a breeze for me, and I no longer fear having to do it. This great new invention actually keeps the toilet bowl clean for you. All you need to do is start with a clean toilet, hook up the nozzle to the side of your toilet, and the lightly tap the foot paddle twice a day. Scrubbing Bubbles One Step uses a 360 degree action sprayer to cover the whole bowl. I could not believe how clean my toilet now looks. No more toilet ring marks, or lime scale. It's truly an amazing product. Also the fresh mountain morning scent, makes the toilet smell wonderful. Plus, the device is discreet and fits easily next to your toilet. What is wonderful about Scrubbing Bubbles One Step at the local grocery store and mass department stores. The cost is only $9.99 for the starter kit and you get a base, sprayer, and one refill can. or buy the refill can for only $4.99. Great prices for a product that makes cleaning your toilet easier, and you'll have more time to relax and spend time with your family. The Refill cans last up to 30 days. Overall I would give this product 5 stars :)

Reign of Madness by Lynn Cullen

Currently I am reading Reign of Madness by Lynn Cullen.  It's about Katherine of Aragon's sister Juana of Castile.  I am half way through this book, and it's been very hard to put it down.  It's gripping right from the start, especially if you are interested in this period of history.  I personally love the Tudor era of history, so this was a very good choice of book for me.     I hope that it will continue being as gripping in the second half.  I'll let you know, when I am finishing reading.

Dreamlights - BzzCampaign

Dreamlights, makes you wonder what this product would be about.  It sure made me wonder when I heard the name.  I was excited to see, when I went to my BzzAgent page, that it's a jar with little lights floating inside.  Now, you are probably asking what would be so exciting about a jar with lights.  It's made to look like you have caught fireflies.   What a unique way of brightening up your spirits and fall evening with a Dreamlight.  If anyone remembers in their childhood, catching fireflies and carrying them around in a jar, this would be a product for you.  Please BzzAgent pick me for this BzzCampaign, I would love to have a magical fall evening with my friends, and tell them all about this unique product.

Cuisinart Smart Stick

Up for review on BzzAgent today is the Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand blender.  I am totally excited about reviewing this product, since I've heard really good things about it from my friends.   They have said it's made blending a lot more easier and faster.  

My friend told me that it's awesome for making soup.  She used it right in the pot to blend up the ingredients.  And she said it makes wonderful, quick and delicious fruit smoothies.  I've also learned from her, that it's quick and easy to clean.  WONDERFUL, if you ask me.  I hate having to take a long time to clean something.

So, I am truly hoping to get picked to try this product out, so I can find out for myself if the Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender is everything my friend says it is.  PLEASE pick me to review this product, I'm excited and ready to review this :)

Month Update...

Wow, so it's been nearly a month since I last updated my blog.  Cannot believe it's been that long....  I guess you could say a lot has happened in that month's time.  My HS is finally under control, and the doctor's have it nearly in remission, which I am super pleased about.  I've had my birthday, and it was awesome.  My guy took a whole week off work to spend time with me, which was great.  We got to go out to a restaurant, which was a treat because I haven't been to a restaurant in 3 years, due to pain from my condition. 

I felt so blessed this year for my birthday, I received 31 birthday cards from friends around the world.  It was truly a wonderful and lovely surprise, to get so many birthday greetings in my mail box, when today most people seem to rely on digital cards.  Call me old fashion, but I still enjoy receiving snail mail cards.

I finally got my Petrol jeans, and they are really nice.  Truly it was quite an ordeal to get them.  UPS wanted me to pay a surcharge on them, when they first arrived of $31.50, and I sent them back to the company.  Then the company was nice enough to cover the fee, that UPS wanted for the jeans.  So I finally got them, right before my birthday, which was a nice surprise.  

St.Patrick's Day, I spent with W, and we had a lot of fun.  I am of Irish ancestry and he is of Polish ancestry.  I dressed our dog up in an Irish outfit, he truly looked super cute, hehe...although I really don't think he enjoyed it that much, oh well it made me smile.

I have also been asked to review another product.  This time it's Sublime Mousse from L'Oreal.  The company sent me a coupon for me to go and pick out what colour I wanted to try.  So, I have picked Medium Blond  I wonder what I will look like, after I've coloured my hair....*fingers crossed*

Till next time...

Aquafina Plus Vitamins 10CAL REVIEW

Aquafina Plus+ Vitamins 10 Cal Enhanced Water is a great product. The first one I tried was Black & Blue berry, the smell when I first opened the bottle was very pleasing to me, and it made me want to know what it tasted like. Now, I am very picky about what I drink, and when I did taste it, I was very happy that it had a wonderful sweet taste to it, and you do not need to worry about sugar, because it's sweeten naturally. Which is a plus for me, because I have to watch my sugar intake. So, it's a great product for people that have to watch how much sugar they are in taking. Also great for people that have a hard time drinking plain water, like myself. I found this a wonderful alternative to having to flavor my water with powders. The Fuji Apple Pear, and the Strawberry Lemonade are also tasty. I also found that after drinking the Aquafina Plus+ Vitamins 10 Cal Enhanced Water, for nearly 2 weeks I found that the antioxidant vitamins were making me feel better. This is a product I have already started recommending to my friends and family. Overall, Great product :)

Early Birthday Surprises

I received a lovely birthday gift today from a friend in India.  My birthday is not until March 12, so I was surprised when I went to the mailbox this morning, and found this lovely gift.   My friend sent me two pairs of earrings, a wonderful birthday card, a 3D picture of Krishna, Hello Kitty pen, a brooch and two bookmarks.  She truly spoiled me :)

Vintage Postcards from France 1900 - 1920

Today I was lucky to receive 6 unused vintage postcards from a friend in the USA.  They are from France and are between the years of 1900 - 1920.  I wish I knew more about them, because I just love history, and would love to know the history of these postcards.  My friend didn't know any more information on them, which is too bad.  If anyone would be able to help me with these vintage postcards it would be much appreciated...please leave a comment, if you know anything about vintage postcards. 

Stella Artois Chalice Set

 I joined La Société Stella Artois, and you can get some great prizes from them once you've collected enough points.  The first thing, I turned my points in for was a Stella Artois Pouring kit, with 4 glasses, bottle opener, foam cutter, and book.  The next item I turned my points in for, was two passes to Cinaplex Theatre's.  The next was a Godfather DVD.  Now, I had no problem getting the tickets or the DVD, but the Pouring Kit took 4 months to get here.  I was seriously starting to doubt that I would even receive it.


But last week UPS showed up at my door carrying a big box with "Stella Artois" on it.  I was so pleased to see it, after waiting for it.  I was very impressed when I opened the box and found a lovely set.  It was well worth waiting for.  So, if you are interested in joining the Stella Artois Club here is the link: http://www.lasocietestellaartois.com/






 

Postcards from Italy and USA

Today, I was lucky to receive 4 lovely postcards from my friends in Italy, Cape Cod and L.A.  My favourite postcard I received today is a postcard of J.F.K.  So far, it's one of my favourite postcards of 2011 :)   I was very excited to open the envelope from my friend and find it in there. 


President John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, sailing the Manitou off the coast of Cape Cod.

Hoxie House, Sandwich Cape Cod, Massachusetts - High on a knoll overlooking Shawme Lake in the center of Sandwich sits the Hoxie House (1637).  The Hoxie House is generally to be the oldest house on Cape Cod.

Valentines Day Card from 1920

This card was given to my grandmother when she was 5 years old from my great-grandmother.  It was treasured by my grandmother, and it was passed on to me after my grandmother passed away.  I have placed it in a clear plastic sheet protector to make sure that it does not get damaged.  I figured to add it on my blog since it's so close to Valentines Day, and show off a nice vintage Valentines card. I hope you enjoy it :) 

Aquafina Plus Vitamins 10CAL

Today I received my first official product to review from Divine.ca.  I am so excited to be one of 75 people reviewing this product.  The company sent 6 - 591mL bottles to test over the next 2 weeks.  The flavours they sent are Black & Blue Berry, Strawberry Lemonade, and Fuji Apple Pear.  In 2 weeks time the company will send me an email with a link so I can give me review on the product.  I have already started drinking the Black & Blue Berry one, and it's very tasty.  I think I am going to enjoy reviewing this product.

California Dreaming on such a winter's day...

Today was a pretty good mail day for me.  I finally received my parcel from my friend in California, been waiting nearly 2 weeks for it.  I was very excited about receiving it, because it had some chocolate I wanted to try.  Japanese Kit Kat's that are Cheese flavoured.  I honestly thought they would be quite disgusting, but I was pleasantly surprised that they actually taste pretty good.  You really cannot taste the cheese, but you can sure smell the cheese, when you first open the package.  




My friend also sent me a lovely Three Stooges magnet.  It's something you cannot get in Canada, and I just love the Three Stooges.  I honestly think it's one of my favourite magnets in my collection. 









I also received a lovely fan pack from the L.A. Lakers.  It was truly a surprise, because I did not figure they were going to send anything, as I had wrote an email, but they never wrote back, so I figured they would not be sending anything, so it was a lovely surprise to see that in my mail box today.

 

Petrol Jeans Contest on Facebook - Update!!

The Petrol Jean contest on Facebook was not a scam :)  I am quite happy about that.  I was quite worried for awhile, but I have won a pair of jeans, and I am quite happy about that.  I received the notification that I will be receiving them in 10 to 14 days, really happy about that. 

A lot of people are bitter about not winning the jeans, and writing some very rude comments on the Petrol Jeans fanpage.  I honestly think this is immature, and just being a sore loser.  This one guy is stalker their page, and writing such mean and rude comments to all the winners, it's just pathetic.

Shall write more, once I receive my jeans :)  Thank you Petrol for hosting such a wonderful contest :)
