How to Have a Cat Friendly Christmas

We had a small dog when I was very young, but growing up we never had pets to worry about at Christmas.  When I first moved here and my boyfriend had cats, I thought they were adorable playing with the Christmas tree, pulling decorations off for us to step on and playing with all the […]

Clairol Nice ‘n Easy Hair Colour Review

I was recently sent a package of Clairol Nice ‘n Easy natural looking hair colour to try by BzzAgent.  It could not have come at a better time as I had a skunk like streak of grey hair at the roots and my red hair colour had gone a little brassy making the greys even […]

Using Rebate Apps to Save on Your Groceries #ThriftyThursday

I am a big coupon user, I hate paying full price for anything, but with coupon abuse and the increased cost of mailing out coupons, we have seen a lot of changes to coupons over the last year.  While 2014 was a huge year for rebate apps as new ones were released and fine-tuned, 2015 […]

Olay Pro-X Daily Cleansing System Review

As I mentioned the other day, my skin has suffered due to a lack of sleep, little time for skincare and stress.  My skin was dull, flakey and in desperate need of a facial I don’t have the time for (but am setting up an appointment for the Christmas break). During the Black Friday sales, […]

Dealing With Noisy Neighbours

I mentioned my noisy neighbours in my Getting Back on Track post. Who thinks 3am is an acceptable time to put up a flood light and work on your truck?  The same person who thinks his rock band can play at 11pm on a work night and their dog can run around barking all night. […]

Getting Back on Track

Quo Back to Basics Eye Palette

I wanted the last Quo Back To Basics palette but they are limited edition and sell out fast.  This year I was watching for them and was so happy to see them in the flyer the same day I received a Shoppers Drug Mart personalized coupon for 5000 bonus Optimum points when you spent $20 […]

Are You An Influenster Member?

I have mentioned Influenster a number of times – it is one of my favourite sampling for influence sites.  In the image above, you can see the first VoxBox I received, about a year ago when Influenster first came to Canada and sent out Maple VoxBoxes. It included the following items Montagne Jeunesse Red Earth […]

Great Customer Service From Kobo

I have mentioned my love of my Kobo Arc before.  I went from thinking I needed the feel of an actual book to practically living on my kobo tablet.  So imagine my dismay when last Monday I got a message saying there was a system update for security measures which I installed and then on […]
