After School Routine Every Kid Can Follow
Routines are so key for Ava’s and I. It’s something I implemented... so that if I’m not available to do it, she knows exactly what steps to do on her own. Or for her to tell someone else.
Here is what we do Monday to Friday!

Currently Obsessed: Maybelline SuperStay Vinyl Ink Liquid Lipstick
With the weather changing- Question do you do the same thing with your self care products? For example do you switch your pinks to deep rich reds or do you switch your shampoos/conditioners to something lighter to handle the heat.
I found a product that I'm currently obsessed with from Maybelline!

Check out BeautySense.ca
I know I’ve been talking about Spring Cleaning A LOT. Especially when it comes to your make up/skin care/body essentials. When I did my search, I was so surprised to see how many products that I had opened and have now expired. PLUS how many products I have actually used up completely. Go me!
I was so lucky that BEAUTYSENSE.CA reached out to me and gave me the opportunity to shop on their site. Let me tell you that this is the site that you want bookmarked everywhere.
THEY HAVE EVERYTHING!

Signs That you Might Have Sensitive Skin
Let me tell you that sensitive skin is really common! If you find that you can’t figure out why you keep having skin issues no matter how many products or methods you try, your problem may be that you just have sensitive skin. If you can see a dermatologist or an esthetician- Do that ASAP.
But before you do that look for these signs.

Well, I have and I'm sure most mamas have gone through some type of moment trying to balance the many hats we have to wear...DAILY. Self-care is so important for moms especially these days when life is changing so drastically and so much is expected from us.

The Best Lip Care Routine For Dry and Cracked Lips
I’m just gonna put out a few self-care posts to occupy myself (and help others) while in Quarantine. Right now, you’re probably doing one of two things... Actually three.
- You are either taking AMAZING care of yourself so that when the ban is lifted-
you look fresh and ready to go. - Or you look OKAY to go outside-
but you would love to book a beauty treatment when available. - Or you look like a literal cave person-
you're literally ready to camp out at your salon, spa or lash tech house to be the first in line.
One of the first things I noticed that started to go haywire was my lips. Inside my house is SUPER dry and it's literally taking a toll on my lips. At first I ignored it but when my husband started to comment... LOL. I knew I had to do something other than blame the Canadian weather!
So to get my kissable, I do a combination of three things.

Have you tried: L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24h Fresh Wear Foundation
I love that I get the opportunity to try so try so many different foundations- all different finishes and textures. I have promised myself that I'm going to give myself 6-9 months to write about ALL of them currently in my possession! It's a serious task but it has to be done. As a dark skin girl, do you know how hard it is to find swatches or true images online? I won't leave you hanging!
These days it seems like there are a lot of brands out there that who feel like they have everything that what we want in a foundation.
But do they truly stack up??
Have you heard of the L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24h Fresh Wear Foundation ($19.99 CAN) ? If you've struggled to find the right foundation that hits a few of your must have lists- this might be the way to go.

Hair Care Giveaway: MATRIX + shu uemura - USA and Canadian
Last year, my hair was in it's best condition!
It was strong, long, healthy and so full of body.
Why?
Those prenatal pills that I took did wonders. After the baby, I maintained a good amount of hair but I did notice that I did have some fall out. Which I'm trying to grow back on my own. I was gifted with some hair care products to try out this winter.
What I'm most excited for:
The shu uemura art of hair Ultimate Reset Collection

Five Tips to consider when visiting a new baby
Around this time is when germs are around the most. People are battling colds, flus, fevers and God knows what else. There is a lot to consider before you make the trip out to see your good friend or family member. Here are five tips to consider when visiting a new baby.
If u have a tickle in your throat.. Don't come
I don’t even care if it’s allergies... Don’t come. If it’s going to make you have to explain yourself to the mother/father- it totally isn’t worth it. What if that tickle isn’t from allergies and it's actually the beginning of a cold. Just reschedule when you feel better.

Maybelline Super Stay 24H Foundation + SWATCHES
A few questions:
- How do you feel about all these new foundations that are now coming out for darker woman of colour?
- Do you feel like it’s too late?
- Do you feel like this is the perfect time?
- Do you feel like it’s too late?
- Do you feel like this is the perfect time?
For me, I’m just happy to be included. I know that sounds super corny but I’m happy that I can branch out try other brands and also help you save a bit of money in the process.
*********
This is such a overdue post. I started writing it with three foundations but stopped. Mostly because I got my hands on a fourth Maybelline foundation. Which you know always changes everything! If you’re looking for a drugstore option try Maybelline Superstay Full Coverage foundation ($14.99 CAN).
