Hitting my 40's while having young children at home has really taken its toll on my sleep patterns and everything that comes with it. Suddenly looking in the mirror in the morning is daunting when all I see looking back at me is a visual reminder of how exhausted I am - eye puffiness, dark circles, and now wrinkles. Wrinkles! When did my fine lines change to wrinkles?! The skin around my eyes is so hard to treat because the cold Canadian winters dry out my skin and only the mildest products will do, which aren't always super effective. Aveeno Calm + Restore Age Renewal Eye Gel has been a game changer for me. It's gentle enough to retain and improve my moisture barrier so my wrinkles are slowly relaxing and looking much better. You get a healthy dose of effective ingredients, like cranberry extract (a plant-based retinol alternative), colloidal oatmeal, and niacinamide that are gentle and won't irritate an already sensitive area. The result is smoother, brighter skin around your eyes making you finally look like you're more awake and ready to take on the day. It also works perfectly under makeup so you can benefit from the long lasting effects all day long. -

Gentle and effective are two words you don't typically see together when discussing age renewing products. But Aveeno Calm + Restore Age Renewal Serum is, first and foremost, both of those things - gentle and effective. The product goes on smooth and works fabulously under makeup. It provides the perfect level of moisture to your skin without being too thick and without being overly drying. The serum is truly weightless and provides a gentleness you don't often see in age defying products. That's because Aveeno Calm + Restore Age Renewal Serum contains cranberry extract (a plant-based retinol alternative), colloidal oatmeal, and niacinamide. These ingredients work together to hydrate and soothe the skin, improving the look of fine line and wrinkles, and improving your skin's tone and texture. The end result is smoother and brighter looking skin. My skin has never looked or felt so healthy, especially at the end of winter! I look refreshed and ready to take on the spring with a fabulous glow. Aveeno Calm + Restore Age Renewal Serum has become a central part of both my morning and evening skin routine. -

The worst part about wearing sunscreen is it really feels like you're wearing sunscreen! This isn't the case with NEUTROGENA ULTRA SHEER Dry-Touch Sunscreen!

I tried the 60 SPF version for my fair skin, but the product is available in SPF 30, 45, 60, and even SPF 110! It's comforting to know that NEUTROGENA ULTRA SHEER Dry-Touch Sunscreen no matter what your sunscreen needs are and I'm so happy to finally find a sunscreen that doesn't feel greasy. Dry-Touch for the win!! -

Aveeno Calm + Restore Daily Moisturizer is a simple product that is highly effective and provides a wide range of benefits. It offers lightweight moisture that won't clog pores. Being from Aveeno, you immediately know it's formulated to work well with sensitive skin. It contains colloidal oat and feverfew to provide soothing moisture. This is especially important during the long Canadian winter months when my skin is constantly exposed to cold, wind, and sun. With SPF 30 and UVA/UVB protection using 100% mineral actives, you can rest assured that your skin will be protected. I love it for the winter because we spend lots of time on the hill downhill skiing, so it's an easy way to fight sun damage. Aveeno Calm + Restore Daily Moisture goes on smooth, absorbs quickly, and doesn't leave a white cast. It's also clinically tested, hypoallergenic, fragrance free, paraben free, phthalate free, and alcohol free. And if all of that isn't enough, the tube is made with 40% post-consumer recycled plastic! Aveeno is taking tangible steps towards providing responsible formulations and packaging in their products. I think this is another home run for Aveeno and I can't wait to try more products in the Calm + Restore line. -

I discovered Sambucol Advanced Immune Support at the opportune time as I’m currently battling the most recent bug brought home by my young daughter. The product has great levels of the ingredients you need to keep your immune system in tiptop shape - 50% of your daily vitamin C, 34% of your daily zinc, and 50mg of black elderberry extract - in every gummy. Sambucol is vegan and contains premium black elderberry with no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives. Sambucol Black Elderberry is also delicious. The gummy is flavourful and has a great texture, making it easy to take. This product has definitely helped me this time of year when it seems to be a never ending stream of illnesses coming home!

After a long summer filled with pool parties and sunscreen usage, my skin was in rough shape, literally! Aveeno Tone + Texture Renewing Body Scrub was a brilliant find.

Plus it contains NO parabens, soaps, dyes, or sulfates, making it super gentle on your skin. After about a week of use, my skin was completely revived.

The craziest thing happened to me! We were visiting a cottage on a lake for the Labour Day long weekend. The weather was HOT so we basically spent the weekend in the lake. The last day we were there, the ministry notified everyone to NOT swim in the lake because there was a huge outbreak of blue-green algae. Literally the next day, I have my own outbreak of the biggest, itchiest hives you can imagine, covering my entire body! My poor skin was horrendous - completely dried out and cracking from itching so much. Aveeno Calm + Restore Skin Therapy Balm to the rescue! I use this product for eczema outbreaks in the winter, but did you know this product is also effective for relieving skin irritation due to rashes, poison ivy, and insect bites? It also works really well at quickly soothing and moisturizing hive rashes! Aveeno Calm + Restore Skin Therapy Balm is made with a triple oat formula that includes oat extract, colloidal oatmeal, oat oil, and ceramides, making it ideal for protecting dry, sensitive skin while soothing. It’s also hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, dye-free, steroid-free and alcohol-free. It’s everything you need for quick relief, creating a hydrating barrier so your skin can heal. It’s the perfect product to have on hand for relief of both eczema and any other skin irritation. -

We were planning our annual end of summer pool party and I was in the storage room looking for something else when I spotted my Noma Advanced EverTough Christmas Lights and had a huge brain wave; Christmas lights don't only need to be used at Christmas! We have a deck that wraps all the way around our pool, so I used the Christmas lights to line the top of the railing that goes all the way around. The lights I have are multicoloured so it was such a fun display and everyone LOVED them! It really set the mood for the event.
Noma Advanced EverTough Lights feature weather-proofing and corrosion protection. A few days after our party, the lights were still up because I'll probably never get around to taking them down honestly, and a big summer storm blew through town. Super high winds, rain that hurts, the usual. The Noma Advanced EverTough definitely toughed it out and not a single clip was broken. They held up so well and the lights are so beautifully bright, I will be looking to purchase more from the Noma Advanced EverTough line this Christmas season to really make our home sparkle bright.

Living with adult hormonal acne is challenging to say the least! Challenging and definitely frustrating! I have tried countless products with varying levels of effectiveness. PanOxyl PM Overnight Spot Patches is a unique type of product that is very easy to use. You simply chose a patch size that will cover your blemish and then apply the patch over the blemish and let it work. I applied overnight and there were no issues with the patch coming off and it was comfortable to wear. The patches are latex-free and contain no parabens, sulfates, fragrance, or dyes, so you don't have to worry about your skin having a reaction to the product. PanOxyl PM Overnight Spot Patches are a hydrocolloid product that help eliminate blemishes by absorbing pus and fluids. I was happy with their effectiveness. Even after only night, the patches worked well to start drawing everything out, significantly shortening the time I need to deal with the same blemish. It was impressive to actually see the quick progression. With other acne products, my skin dries out quickly which just makes everything look worse and takes longer to heal. PanOxyl PM Overnight Spot Patches also act to protect your skin, preventing your blemish from drying out, and helps facilitate quicker healing. Overall, I would highly recommend this product for adult hormonal acne and I will be keeping PanOxyl PM Overnight Spot Patches on hand to deal with my breakouts. -
