I am very familiar with Clean & Clear facial products, in fact I’ve been using them since I was a teen and my teen boys now use them to help keep their face clean and smooth as well.
When I had the opportunity to receive a full sample of morning burst, I was very excited. Mainly because we were already introduced to the product and loved it. I absolutely love how morning burst not only keeps my face clean, but I love the little bursting beads in the cleanser that are filled with both vitamin C and ginseng. The benefits for both are great for the skin and I love how refreshed I feel once I’ve cleaned my face and how smooth my face feels. A definitely must try, plus it’s on the affordable side of facial skin care, which is a bonus!

I love trying out new products when it comes to my hair. Finding out what works and what doesn't so that my hair stays healthy and soft is important to me. So I was pretty excited when I got the opportunity to try out Klorane's new Mango Hair care products. The products included: a nourishing shampoo, a detangling conditioner, a leave in cream and an intensive mask. The Mango hair products are perfect for dry or dehydrated hair and a great way to add shine, softness and detangling to hair especially during and after our Canadian winters. Below are a few other key facts about Klorane's Mango Hair Products:
Plant-based products with 96% of natural ingredients
Eco-friendly and recyclable packaging
Results visible from the first application
Silicone and paraben free
Klorane's mangos are harvested by hand in the respect of their ecosystem. The Mango butter is extracted in a responsible and labelled way.
The Mango Butter Shampoo lathers amazing and you don't need more than a quarter amount to wash your hair. After shampooing my hair, next I tried the Mango Butter Detangler. I absolutely loved how great my hair felt after using the conditioner. It left it feeling fresh and full. After applying the Mango Butter Detangler I would leave it in my hair for the recommended two to three minutes, using about a quarter size. It was easy to wash out and doesn't make your hair feel full of tangles or greasy.
Next up was the Mango Butter Mask, this was excellent at leaving my hair frizz free throughout the day, especially in the damp cold winter. I left it in for the recommended five minutes, but for a stronger action you can leave it in your hair for up to 20 minutes under a warm towel. The Leave-in Cream with Mango Butter leaves my hair smooth and free of any tangles, also leaves my hair with a nice shine. I like that it doesn't weigh down my hair or leaves it looking greasy. The leave in cream also works great for styling your hair too.
Overall I was happy with these products and will continue to use them to help my hair stay healthy and hopefully it will continue to make my hair feel great and cut out my split ends.

All The Missing Girls

It’s been ten years since Nicolette Farrell left her rural hometown after her best friend, Corinne, disappeared from Cooley Ridge without a trace. Back again to tie up loose ends and care for her ailing father, Nic is soon plunged into a shocking drama that reawakens Corinne’s case and breaks open old wounds long since stitched.
The decade-old investigation focused on Nic, her brother Daniel, boyfriend Tyler, and Corinne’s boyfriend Jackson. Since then, only Nic has left Cooley Ridge. Daniel and his wife, Laura, are expecting a baby; Jackson works at the town bar; and Tyler is dating Annaleise Carter, Nic’s younger neighbor and the group’s alibi the night Corinne disappeared. Then, within days of Nic’s return, Annaleise goes missing.
MY REVIEW
All The Missing Girls by Meagan Miranda was such an amazing read. I read mixed reviews and was so happy I picked it up anyways to give it a read. Definitely worth it. I absolutely love how unique the story is told from the end to the beginning. Nicolette goes back home to help her brother fix up and sell their childhood home so they can afford to keep their dad in a nursing home. Memories start to come back from when her best friend went missing when another girl goes missing from this small town, along with run ins with an ex-boyfriend and trying to connect how both the girls gone missing are connected. All The Missing Girls kept me turning the page to figure out the mystery to what happened in the past and present to both girls and how it all connects to Nicolette.

Karen and Tom Krupp are happy—they’ve got a lovely home in upstate New York, they’re practically newlyweds, and they have no kids to interrupt their comfortable life together. But one day, Tom returns home to find Karen has vanished—her car’s gone and it seems she left in a rush. She even left her purse—complete with phone and ID—behind.
There's a knock on the door—the police are there to take Tom to the hospital where his wife has been admitted. She had a car accident, and lost control as she sped through the worst part of town.
The accident has left Karen with a concussion and a few scrapes. Still, she’s mostly okay—except that she can’t remember what she was doing or where she was when she crashed. The cops think her memory loss is highly convenient, and they suspect she was up to no good.
Karen returns home with Tom, determined to heal and move on with her life. Then she realizes something’s been moved. Something’s not quite right. Someone’s been in her house. And the police won't stop asking questions.
Because in this house, everyone’s a stranger. Everyone has something they’d rather keep hidden. Something they might even kill to keep quiet.
MY REVIEW
A Stranger in the House by Shari Lapena was such a great read. I loved every bit of this book from the beginning to the end. Lots of secrets that just kept pouring out as the story unfolded, this book kept you on your toes wondering if Karen Krupp really couldn't remember what happened or was this her game the entire time? Those last few pages though, whew! Those last few pages are what made me give this 5 stars!

I've used these wipes for years. I buy them twice a month or more if there is a sale going on. They're perfect for cleaning around the house and I have my kids use them when doing their house chores too. These come perfect when flu season hits my household. Take out a wipe and clean all my doorknobs and just throw it away afterwards. I've tried the clorox wipes, they just aren't the same as lysol. -

I already use their Apricot face scrub. I've been using it over a year now and so there was no doubt that I would love the Pink Lemon and Mandarin Orange Scrub. What I love about this scrub is how when you apply it on your face it goes on smooth, It first feels like lotion being applied and once you rub it in to clean your face and rinse it off, your face feels fresh, clean and smooth. It's made with 100% naturally derived exfoliants and is made to polish away little imperfections for bright, radiant and more even-toned skin. This has been my go to face scrub for the warm months and I love it. -

I got a Bioré bar and I instantly fell in love with it after using it the first couple times. It is so hard for me to find a skin product on my skin that doesn’t make my face blotchy or too coarse or give me acne but this one was AMAZING. I love how clean my face feels after using the bar and how smooth my face feels as well.
I ended up buying two more products from bioré because I was afraid I was going to run out of the bioré bar.

I absolutely love Aveeno and their products. I had stopped using it for a bit, but when I took my kids to go visit my family in California, my daughter's skin broke out from being so dry in the desert. I had no idea what was going on, but when I took her to the clinic they recommended Aveeno and within a day of applying the lotion her skin was starting to go back to normal and by the end of the week her skin was back to normal.
Aveeno daily moisturizing lotion helps keep your skin hydrated and I would definitely recommend using this product to anyone, especially those who suffer with dry skin.

I've been using Jergens Moisturizer For Wet Skin for the last couple of months and my skin looks and feels fantastic. I love to stay hydrated and keep my skin hydrated too, so I make sure that I apply lotion as soon as I get out of the shower. It's best to apply lotion on when your skin is damp because it helps lock in the water on your skin to keep your skin hydrated. The lotion contains a new breakthrough formula that blends with water when your skin is most receptive to moisture.
I received both Moisturizer For Wet Skin Green Tea Oil and Coconut Oil. They both smell lovely. I love how it applies on smooth and doesn't leave my skin feeling oily or greasy. It goes on and locks in twice the moisturizer in half the time for radiant skin.
So even though Summer may be ending, I would definitely recommend using Jergens Moisturizer all year long, especially during the harsh Winters so your skin stays both healthy and hydrated during the cold months.
