Nivea All in One Facial Cleansing Lotion Review

Monday 20 February 2017
Hey Guys,

Awhile ago I got a sample for the Nivea All in One Facial Cleansing Lotion.
I was excited to try it because I love Nivea products.  They are extremely moisturizing which i love during the fall and winter months.
Their package suggests that you massage it all over your face and remove with water or a cotton pad.
I tested out this cleanser two ways, first with my eye makeup removed and the second with ALL my makeup on.
When I removed my eye makeup then used the cleanser, it did take off all of my makeup, but there was something missing. My face didnt feel as clean. The second time i left all my makeup on and hopped into the shower. I used the facial cleanser and i fell in love! It took everything off, there wasnt one trace of makeup on my face. I didnt have a drying feeling on my face and i felt moisturized. I admit, that was deceiving, it felt so moisturizing i skipped applying my facial moisturizer. A few minutes later the tightness came! I love that I dont feel the need to immediately reach for my moisturizer and I can take my time getting out of the shower.
Before moving in with my boyfriend, my skin use to be so dry, within seconds of stepping out of the shower my skin use to feel tight and itchy. As of a few years ago my skin has changed. I do get some wiggle room between the time i step out of the shower and my skin tighting up.
 I love this product!! I would reccomend this product for anyone who has dry skin I love how moisturizering my skin instantly felt after washing my face.  I also love that i didnt have to pre-remove any makeup and it ALL came off. I can see this product being used everyday. It cleans deep enough that there is no makeup left but it is also gentle enough on your skin that it feels smooth refreashed.
With Nivea, a littke bit goes a long way. They sent me individual use packages, which originally I didnt think would be enough. However I was in the shower and wasn't going to hop out to get another package. I can't wven begin to tell you how wrong I was. Once again, a little bulit truly goes a long way. This product is so great at cleaning deep down that you dont need more then a pea sized amount.
Nivea is a brand that I personally love and everytime i try their products I am always happy. They smell amazing and they were the only brand that actually helped with my dry skin.
I wouldnt recommend this product for people with oily skin. I read a lot of people complaining that they broke out or that they actually produced more oil.

If you are in the market for a new cleansed of just want to try something bew, be sure to pick this up!

Children and TV

Monday 13 February 2017
Hey Guys,

I am sure before your child(ren) were born you heard plenty of stories about TV being detrimental and it turning their brains into mush. I admit my boyfriend and i went back and forth on whether or not for the first year of Kaydens life, the tv should/shouldnt be on. He won.
For the past 2 years, i have been trying to find a happy medium. These are some of my guidelines and things to think about when deciding whether or not the tv should be on, or what the rules should be.

Be mindful of what they are watching
Kayden loves music and animals. Any show that has one of those elements he is in love. I try to play into those interests. That is one if the ways kayden has learned animals names and the sounds they make.

Age appropiate
I know this sounds odd at their age to be watching age appropriate shows but it makes a difference. Children need to learn the basics. There is no poibt in them watching a show that they dont understand. As annoyingg as BabyTv may be for the parents its something that is geared to them and will stimulate their senses. It can also help parents. I know there were times when i was running out of ideas of what to do with Kayden, and they had amazing suggestions and tips.
When you pick channels/shows that are for their age, it is easy to make it an interactive experience and they will be eager to repeat, immitate and 'join in'
Kayden is almost two and a half. Right now he is a sponge, whatever he sees or hears he immitates. For instance if my boyfriend is watching wrestling he will immitate the moves. Now it is much more important to be aware of what they are being exposed to. He doesn't understand that wrestling is pretend or that they are trained athletes.

Set limits
I know there are days when it seems like its easier to just turn on the tv and do your own thing, or even just relax. I try to have a balance for kayden in his day. I incorprate a lot of activities that kayden enjoys i.e. coloring, reading, playing outside etc. Set a limit of how much tv they can watch or what time of the day. It will help set boundries and hopefully prevent the constant question of when they can watch tv.

Make it interactive
It is so easy to turn on the TV and walk off, ill admit, i do it from time to time. But try to ask your children questions about the show they are watching. Ask them to repeat words, point out colors or even you can point out common objects. A lot of childrens television is educational, it is meant to teach kids something, which makes it easier to teach!


JustFab Review

Monday 6 February 2017
Hey Guys,

I had seen a lot of ads running on tv about justfab.ca, i was always curious about their company and always wanted to make a purchase. I had seen a lot of mixed reviews online and decided to try it out myself .

How it works
When you sign up with your email address you do an online style quiz. They show you pairs of shoes and outfits, you then choose which one appeals to you. They also ask you questions about what outfits you would choose on a weekend, night out etc. They have different style profiles and will choose one that best suits you. On the 1st of every month they give you shoes, outfits and accessories based on your style profile. The average price is $39.95 but some pieces run higher. If you dont want to purchase an item you simply'skip the month', which i have done a few times.

My review
I have only purchased boots from there, both for specific occasions. I must say they were comfortable and stylish. They did run small when i wore socks (necessary in the cold canadian weather) so i suggest ordering half a size/size up if socks are a must. I wore my one pair a few times since i was able to dress it up or down and they are still in amazing shape and condition. Because they are coming from the states i did have to pay the exchange rate which i didnt care for but my order has always come within 2 business days.

The only downside is that they dont restock their items. If you dont purchase your size in time, there is no chance you will receive it.
They do charge you a fee for returning an item, and then credit your account.
There are different levels of VIP depending on the amount of money you spend. 1 point for every dollar you spend before taxes. There are different point levels which gets you exclusive sales and offers from justfab. The more you purchase the more benefits you receive.
