Moving is a pain in the *** and since I already broke my fave blush trying to work around the boxes that are in my office, I decided to pack up my makeup carefully in advance of the move. This means I had to pick what was staying with me to last the next two […]

Make The Most Of Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum For Beauty Lovers
Us beauty lovers buy a lot of makeup and while Sephora does get some of my money, Shoppers Drug Mart sees me a lot more. You need to spend $100 at Sephora just for a sample with your points. Shopping with my Optimum card, I can usually get $30 in points for that same $100 […]

Save Time With Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners
I hate washing dishes. Even more, I hate washing pots and pans – including my slow cooker. While that delicious stew or pot roast tastes delicious, I always get burnt-on food at the top edge. When we moved, I gave in to a smaller kitchen because we liked the location, but we did not have […]
