Be Well Worn This Winter with Mark’s #WellWorn
Be Well Worn This Winter with Mark’s Disclaimer: I received items and was generously compensated by Mark’s in order to write this post. The views I shared are my own. Winter. With everything blanketed in fluffy white snow, it is such a beautiful time of the year. It can also prove to be one of the more worrisome ones. Wet and cold weather can create slippery conditions for us to have to venture out in, causing a few slips and falls. Mark’s wants to help keep us upright this more often this winter with the boots they have on hand. They asked me if I would like to get…

Be Comfy at Rest and Play with CozyPhones!
Be Comfy at Rest and Play with CozyPhones! Disclaimer: I received products from CozyPhones in order to write this review. The views I shared are my own. Whether you are on the go or at home, we all like feeling comfy. One thing that really makes me feel comfy is listening to my favourite tunes. Music can soothe your soul or get you pumped for a good work out. One of the problems with listening to music is that there are times that others may not want to be a part of the environment you are trying to create for yourself. You can use headphones or ear buds, but they…

Clean and Nourish Skin with Beautycounter
Clean and Nourish Skin with Beautycounter Disclaimer: I received products from Beautycounter in order to conduct this review. The views I shared are my own. Hey Readers! Beauty products. Aren’t we all on the hunt for ones that get the job done? I know I always am. My skin is what I would like to affectionately call “testy.” It is not delicate per se, but it can react to certain products that have harsh chemicals. I also need products that moisturize for longer than a few hours without feeling greasy or tacky. I was asked by Beautycounter, a chemical-conscience beauty company, to try products from their Nourishing Collection to…

Covering Up Greys with L’Oréal Root Cover Up! #rootsavedme
Hey, Readers! Though my face may give people the impression of a woman younger than my 30-something years, my hair, well, it tells a different story. I have been greying since my mid-20’s, yet more of these silvery strands have been adding themselves to my head over the past few years. After taking my braids out of my hair, I noticed just how much whiter my hair has become. I was asked to try L’Oréal Root Cover Up in Black to see if it could easily spray away my greys. L’Oréal Root Cover Up promises to do the following: to temporarily conceal grey hair in 3 seconds, giving…

So Fulla Love for FullaBeanies Beanies!
Hats. I have had a love-hate relationship with them since I was little. Since my head is small and odd-shaped, most hats tend to sit on my head as though they are trying to balance on the top of an egg. While perusing Twitter, I saw these simply adorable crochet hats by FullaBeanies. After letting them know how cute I thought their hats were, I was asked if I would like to have one in order to review it. I was so touched and excited, of course, I said yes! Here is a bit of background about the heart of FullaBeanies. Janet Fullalove-Jones lives in…

This has put me on the hunt for some fabulous warm winter accessories to help keep me warm this season! Here are some of the picks I have put together to share with you from your…

On the Sunnies Hunt: My Short List of Sweet Summer Sunglasses
Hey Readers! I love my sunglasses (or sunnies as I like to call them)! I wear them all-year round, and they are fun to have. Unfortunately, the pair I have been sporting for the past year have suffered an injury that has rendered them unwearable. The good part of this situation is that I get to go shopping for a new pair (or two or three) to make up for this tragic loss! I tend to stick to a simple style that ha a classic look to them, but now I want to branch out and try new looks out! Below are some cute sunnies that have made the short…

Have No Tears with Amie Bright Eyes Makeup Remover – Product Review
Your eyes are probably one of the features that people take in when they see you. We like to dress them up and make them look expressive with makeup because of this fact. When it comes time for the makeup to come off, many of us dread removing eye makeup because it takes a fair bit of work to get it all off effectively, and sometimes it can irritate the eyes. This process makes me sometimes second guess wanting to put on eye makeup in the future. I have tried a lot of eye makeup removers since I started wearing makeup, and I have used a few that work, but…
