Review of the Week: Remedies (April 29-May 5)

Whenever the seasons change, I get hit with a massive bout of flu/cough/cold/generallyfeelingicky. It's not a pretty sight. As the weather is slowly but surely changing, I am certain to get hit by a nasty bug again. So, to get prepared for the inevitable, I thought the Review of the Week category should be Remedies!

We Tried It: The Diva Cup

Here at ChickAdvisor, there's very little we won't talk about. I like to think that we've gotten to the comfortable, 'old shoe' phase in the relationship (where we just slide right in and get cozy with each other). I wouldn't even be grossed out if you farted in front of me. 

With that in mind, we're going to be talking about Lady Business today. More...

We Love Fridays, Earth Week Edition: DIY Terrarium Kit

With Earth Week winding down, we thought it was only appropriate that we dedicate this We Love Friday to all that green goodness.

However, Mother Nature hasn't exactly been co-operating with our warm weather wishes; She's literally been giving us the cold...

Roadtripping with Kids: A Survival Guide

Recently, the Mister and I had the harebrained idea to take our kids roadtripping for a weekend during Spring Break. We based this brilliant decision on years and years of horrible experiences.

With wedding and prom season about to hit us, we've been discussing easy ways to glam it up. Who has time to carefully curate an outfit? We want little effort and big style pay off.

12 Stand Out Beauty Products for Summer 2013

As I mentioned in the recent round up of 6 must-have oh-so-incredible summer beauty collections, summer is clearly the best season for beauty. Winter fashion and products tend to be heavier and darker. Thankfully, right around this time colour comes back in full force! It's a breath of fresh air after a long, dreary season of black and grey. 

Not only do we have more colour, but...

5 Surprising Beauty Myths Busted

Not too long ago, we discussed a few common beauty mistakes. I will shamefully admit that I was guilty of committing more than one of them. This got me thinking about what else I might be doing wrong when it comes to beauty. 

Perhaps the beauty advice my mother gave me as a young teen wasn't actually as accurate as I thought? With this in mind, I set out to do some beauty detective...
