We love our Schlage Touch Keyless Entry Lock. It was easy to install, easy to program, and worked perfectly in place of our previous deadbolt lock. It's so nice to not have to fumble for my key every time I get home from work - I simply enter my code and voila! Instant access to the house. The codes are super easy to program, and each member of our household has their own. Plus it looks really sleek and high-end. I will definitely be repurchasing at our next home (or maybe popping this one off and taking it with me..hehe!) Thanks Schlage! -

As a former model, I picked up a few tricks from make-up artists over the years. One of these tricks was to moisturize, the other was to use a primer under make-up. Since learning that trick, I refuse to wear make-up without this product.
As an initial purchase, this product may seem to be slightly expensive, but it offers the same quality of high-end products, and one jar has lasted me for almost a full year.
This product slides onto my skin smoothly, and greatly reduces fine lines and minimizes the appearance of my pores (which are quite noticeable). Some days I'll forego my liquid foundation and rely solely on this product to keep my skin looking flawless all day long.
For me, this product is a must-have!

KORRES Wild Rose 24 Hour Moisturizing Cream

I've been a big fan of Korres since receiving a sample product in my monthly Ipsy Glam Bag. It was through this introduction that allowed me to feel confident enough to purchase a full-size version of the Korres Wild Rose 24 Hour Moisturizing Cream - I was not disappointed!
As someone who has combination skin and refused to moisturize for fear of increasing the 'oily' feeling in my skin, I was super selective and cautious when picking out a moisturizer. After reading the reviews of this product and speaking to a beauty consultant, I decided to jump face-first.
Almost immediately after applying this product for the first time, my skin felt softer and looked more radiant. It doesn't make skin feel oily, and doesn't leave any unsightly residue. I'm pleased to say that this product has officially made a place for itself on my nightstand.

I stumbled upon May Designs when I first started in my new job as Account Coordinator for a marketing agency. I knew I wanted personalized stationery to be able to give my clients a feeling of importance while allowing them to get a peak into my personality.
My Google search began and I can honestly say May Designs was one of my greatest internet finds. You can pick the pattern of your stationary, colours, fonts, and even monogram your purchase for that extra personal touch. They sew all applicable seams, which made me feel extra special when purchasing.
The prices for shipping to Canada are reasonable, and the customer support is unparalleled! I can't wait to purchase more :) Check them out at: http://www.maydesigns.com/

I’ve been waiting for ages to test this product. Thanks to having a birthday right around the time of my obsession with gel nails, I was fortunate enough to receive this as a gift from my sister.
Prior to asking for this particular gel nail kit, I did a lot of thorough research to determine which kit would be best for my needs. I’m an amateur as far as painting my nails go, with an inability to stay completely ‘within the lines’ while attempting to paint my right hand with my left. I will start by saying that my first experience with an at home gel kit was surprisingly successful. Surprising because of my lack of artistic nail ability, not because I was skeptical of the brand, because, after reading many reviews and watching several tutorials, I was confident in this product even before I had it.
Generally I try not to develop perceptions on products before I have the chance to use them for myself, but in this particular case, I don’t think this preconceived notion was a factor in my results and thereby is not reflected in my review.
The kit itself comes with the following products: an electric LED lamp, a manicure stick, lint-free wipes, a nail file/buffer, nail cleanser, nail primer, gel base/top coat, and one gel colour.
The instructions were easy to follow. It’s vital that you use thin layers of polish or it won’t dry fully. It’s also very important to put your nails under the LED lamp after each layer of nail product you use. For best results, I did one hand at a time to reduce the risk of smudging. It’s also important to use the nail cleanser and lint free wipes after you apply the top coat, or your nails will be left feeling wet and sticky.
My result? Mirror shine and rock hard. I’m so happy to have this product and I can’t wait to buy more colours! I fully recommend this brand and product to anyone who enjoys nail products and DIY.

As part of my journey to become a healthier version of myself, I’ve been following a ridiculous amount of fitness and health accounts on Instagram. It was through this channel that I stumbled upon several companies that offer their own individual takes on the ‘teatox’. What, might you ask, is a teatox? Essentially, a teatox is a way to cleanse and detox your body. You drink the suggested amount of tea (which varies from company to company) and try to follow their eating plan. While many people use these teatoxes as an aid in weight-loss, that was not my goal, which is why I didn’t alter the way I ate (hallelujah candy binges!), and continued to only exercise approximately three times each week. The SkinnyMeTea teatox (as with many) is said to assist with fatigue, bloating, breakouts, and weight-loss.
Let’s start with a review of the (arguably) most important part – the price! SkinnyMeTea ships from Australia, yet only charge $10.00 for shipping – quite a bit less than what our friendly neighbours to the south tend to charge. I purchased the 14 day teatox, which put my total order to $45.00. Not horrible, but definitely not something I’ll be throwing money towards regularly.
My favourite part about this detox is that I didn’t have to follow the eating plan in order for the teatox to be effective, and I got to drink even more tea. Sure, it likely would’ve worked more, but without the eating plan and regular exercise, it served its purpose. I did notice an increase in my energy, which, for those of you who know me, means I was able to stay up to almost 11pm instead of my usual 9:30pm bedtime. I also noticed a decrease in bloating and found my skin to be less oily and shiny than it usually is.
I would say overall the teatox experience was a good one. I wouldn’t say my results blew me away, but they were definitely noticeable.
That being said, if used in conjunction with their suggested eating plan and workout schedule, I’m sure the results would’ve been even more dramatic. The instructions were easy to follow, the product was easy to use and quite delicious (with the exception of the colon cleanse tea, which could be quite potent if left to soak more than 30 seconds).
If you’re looking for a general cleanse and don’t want to give up food or incorporate exercise, I would suggest this product. If you’re looking for a general cleanse to assist with weight-loss, I would suggest using this product and following the eating plan and workout schedule.
