I frequently buy Clairol's root touch up and use in between hair appointments. I find the wand / brush tool easy to use and it's easy to apply the dye to by doing small sections at a time. There are only 2 ingredients to mix in a small plastic dish that comes in with the dye, I use the end of the wand to mix it for a few minutes. As far as aroma, it smells like regular hair dye and is quite strong. I leave the dye in for the full 15 minutes to ensure all my grey roots are dyed. After applied the finished result is amazing, if you pick the right color, the dye blends right in with my regular hair color and is not noticeable - I get full grey permanent coverage with this product.
Lately I have been using some amazing shampoo, conditioner and a leave in hydration treatment so my hair has been growing more quickly than usual, with that said, I can get about 3 week before I start to notice my grey roots rearing their nasty selves. My only complaint, which is not really a complaint, more of a request, is that they add in extra product, I could most definitely use more of the dye.

This small palette is cute and offers a nice range of warm colors, with 5 to choose from, I am able to create a few different looks from lighter day colors to darker evening looks.
The powders themselves are nicely pigmented and most are coppery-shimmery, with the exception of the matte red. I find they are for the most part creamy, easy to apply and all 5 blend really well. When worn they last the day for me without any fading until the end of the day, so it lasts a good 12 hours on my lids.
I really like this small thin palette, I think it's cute and I am going to buy the other one which has bolder, darker colors called 'Feminist"

This spice is a staple in my house - we use it in almost everything we cook from meat, eggs, pasta, and dips. It's great because we often reach for this instead of salt, it's lower in sodium. The taste is full on garlic and onion and hints of bell peppers, and regular pepper. Depending on where you buy it, it can be pricey, we watch the flyers and stock up when it's on sale, I think it's regular $5 -$6 at Metro, but on sale anywhere from $3-$4. -

To start off, BBW no longer makes these lip crayons, if I had know that last summer when I bought one on a wim, I would have bought a bunch more. Keeping fingers crossed they bring them back or at least create a similar balm with the same formula.
I bought the color 'Orchid' which is a medium colored rose/pink. When it's applied to my lips it turns out more of a light mauve, which compliments my complexion when I am tanned. The lip balm itself is light in color when applied, I find it moisturizes better than some other products I own that are specifically for lip repair and hydration. I find it looks more smooth and not on the glossy side, plus it has a nice mild floral scent which is pleasant. As for staying power, I would say I reapply it more frequently than needed, but it probably stays on my lips for an hour or so, with the color fading by the moisture staying.
I recommend this hydrating lip crayon and I am really hoping they bring them back this summer of 2019.

I can now add another one of ELF's brushes to my love list. This brush is large in shape and has super soft luxurious bristles and I have used it for a few weeks now and I haven't had any bristles fall out. It is easy to use, I am able to apply as much powder as I want depending on how much I want when I swirl over the powder. It applies well to the face, I can either lightly dust on some translucent powder or apply firmly and brush foundation powder all over my face to achieve almost an air brushed look. I have also used it to apply highlighter and it works just the same.
I highly recommend this brush for quality and effectiveness. Plus not only is it super cute and classy looking, I was told by my friend that this line is limited edition, so I a going to purchase another and check out the other brushes in this line and add to my brush collection before they are gone.

I love this finishing powder, its sheer enough but adds color. I am trying to use less foundation on my face and trying to give my pores a bit of a break and experimenting with different products. Lately I have been using a mild BB tinted cream and then applying this sheer tinted finishing powder, this BB cream isn't enough on it's own but when I apply this powder it boosts my color and looks natural. I find it blends really well when I use the ELF precision powder brush to apply it. This powder also stays put, out of routine, I will touch up mid afternoon if I am going out after work but honestly I don't need to. I also like that it's not cakey when applied, nor does it oxidize throughout the day. -

Satsuma is my all time favorite scent ever, and my favorite scent line from the Body Shop. This bar of soap contains full-on Satsuma scent, however the scent from just using the bar itself is faint after you shower. I usually use the bar, shower gel and then the body butter for head to toe Satsuma lusciousness that lasts the entire day.
For the bar itself, I find it lathers really well and rinses off without leaving no soapy residue behind. It also works well as a hand soap and even hydrates, so your body and hands do not feel dried out after use.
I highly recommend this soap, and like I mentioned before, it's best used with their other body products.

This scent is divine and is probably my favorite all time scent ever.
The body butter is highly scented throughout the entire tub. I find it absorbs well into my skin and keeps it hydrated for the day. I even use it on my feet sometimes and I think it softens my heels.
Because I think this stuff is gold, I don't use a lot in fear of 'running out', unless I have restocked up, so for this reason, I have discovered that a little goes a long way. I will share almost anything I own, except this stuff and I am easy to buy for, I get lots of these tubs and Satsuma kits for Christmas.
I can get a good 2 months of fairly regular use out of this tub. Also another thing I love about this body butter is that the scent stays on my skin for hours, I hate great smelling lotions that fade after an hour, to me it's pointless because I am all about not only hydration but also smelling nice.

Ontario Tornado/Blizzard Watch - App

I believe this started out as a small group of weather forecasters from the Barrie area who created their own FB page in 2013 and reported on local threatening weather. Since then they have grown x10!
FB Page found here: https://www.facebook.com/OntarioTornadoWatch/
I have been a follower of their page from the beginning and a couple of years ago they created an 'instant weather alert system' which sends the alerts to either your email or by text. I have found these alerts are reliable and fast, coming in at least 10-15+ minutes before Environment Canada or the Weather Network posts them. The fee is only $3.99 per month (2 cups of coffee) for the reassurance of knowing exactly when to expect severe weather in my area, especially in the summer months when my area usually has tornado warnings and even ones that have touched down.
Their FB has easy to read detailed maps, daily potential school bus cancellations posted the evening before and staff are quick to respond to questions posted on their feed. I high recommend you at least check out their FB page, they keep it updated and post warnings as well and it's free.

First of all if you look at the picture I posted, the white hat with the bright orange logo you would think it is brand new, it's not - I have had this hat for at least 6 months and recently washed it. It's an affordable hat, made of high quality breathable fabric.
I love my UA hats because for one, they come pre-curved, so I don't need to worry about trying to do it myself. Two, they are adjustable and have the hole at the back to pull my hair through. Three they are super soft and I find the appearance of them to be clean/classy looking with only the logo on the front and lastly they conform to my head perfectly, like each one I bought was custom made just for me.
I love my UA hats, I no longer just throw one on when I can't be bothered to fuss with my hair, I wear them all the time now because I like the look of them and I like the way I look in them.
