Craftadian Made In Hamilton Fall 2017 Show

Craftadian Made In Hamilton Fall 2017 Show

If you have been reading for a while, you will know that I love Craftadian shows.  For most things, we need to go into Toronto but Hamilton has a thriving indie maker scene and several craft shows a year.  Craftadian’s Made in Hamilton is the next one and less than a week away.  So what […]

The6Tea All That Jazz Tea Review – Featuring Jazz

the6tea All That Jazz Tea Review

When I first heard of the6tea, their All That Jazz tea immediately caught my attention (and ruined my tea ban).  With a cat named Jazz, how could I resist right?  I even made him pose for a photo with it!  He obviously thinks it is delicious.  The6Tea All That Jazz is a New Orleans inspired […]

MELA Bath – From Nature With <3 Bath Bombs

MELA Bath - White Tea and Ginger bath bomb - Ice Cream Scoop - Oatmeal Tea Bath Soak

Growing up in the UK, I am partial to a relaxing bath or even just using part of a bath bomb for a foot soak during at-home pedicures.  MELA Bath is a local indie maker I have been meaning to try forever but ‘someone’ told me I needed to use up some of my growing […]

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Street Flair (559) Swatches & Review

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 559 Street Flair Swatches Full Sunlight

Another Sally Hansen Miracle Gel and Street Flair brought me back to the same great formula of the first one I tried, Frill Seeker.  Street Flair is an older shade and was released a few years ago but has managed to stay part of the main lineup so you can tell this dusty purple is a fan […]

DAVIDsTEA Harvest Collection Teas

DAVIDsTEA Harvest Collection - Just Beet it - Honeycrisp Apple - Orange Glow - Wild Strawberry - Pear Blossom

Yet another release from DAVIDsTEA.  The Harvest Collection includes five teas plus a load of new mugs, bottles and other accessories.  Plus the long awaited “new essential” that is a bit of a let down as not much different than the old Bodum tea press they had years back.  Seemingly it is leak proof though […]

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel World Wide Red (409) Swatches and Review

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 409 World Wide Red - Swatch Sunlight

After mixed results with Frill Seeker and Rosey Riviter, I tried out Sally Hansen Miracle Gel World Wide Red next.  It has an almost crelly formula.  Much less opaque than either of the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel polishes I tried previously but not quite jelly either.  This red has a touch of coral in it. […]

Joe Fresh Plus Size Collection Favourites

Joe Fresh Extended Sizes and Plus Sizes Fall 2017 Release Collection

.I was pretty excited when I heard the news that Joe Fresh would be extending their size range.  They have some cute but affordable pieces, but their old size range was too small for us plus size ladies.  They have so many in store offers for PC Plus Points and you know I love a […]

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Rosey Riviter (180) Swatches & Review

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 180 Rosey Riviter Swatches Full Sun

After being impressed with Frill Seeker, I had high hopes for Sally Hansen Miracle Gel and tried out Rosey Riviter next.  This is shade has been available for at least a few years.  Right out of the bottle, I could tell that the formula was not quite as nice as the nude Frill Seeker.  The polish […]

Sally Hansen Frill Seeker (184) Swatches and Review

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 184 Frill Seeker - Swatches stamped with Mundo de Unas Bone and BP115 stampping plate sunlight

I will admit, the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel collection was not high on my list to try.  At around $10 each, I can buy zoyas or even indies so while they have been around for ages, I have only tried a couple of the shades.  That is, until I won a set of five plus […]
