Wedding: Are bridal shows worth it?

This is a good question that plagues every bride: 
Are wedding shows worth it?

I feel like a wedding show veteran right now. I've been engaged for over a year and I have attended four shows. Overall- they're worth it.

Walmart Back to School challenge: Skincare

When I was going to school skin care was #1 on my list. 
Yes...it came before my school supplies and outfits.
I was blessed to go through elementary school - college with perfect skin. 
I think it came down to having the right essentials.

The best place to get all your skincare/beauty needs is Walmart!
I love Walmart because it's a one stop shop. Literally everything is under one roof!

I was given the opportunity to visit my local Walmart and shop in-store to complete a 
Back to School challenge.  

It was fun going through the aisles and looking at all the makeup/skin care stations.
I picked three products that will make your skin ready to battle the up-coming semester!
  1. Simple® Foaming Cleanser
    Essential for sensitive skin
    Roll back $6.77
    Was $7.97
  2. Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid Powered Contour Cleansing System
    Gentle on skin
    $14.96
  3. Simple® Protecting Light Moisturizer spf 15
    Perfect for sensitive skin
    $10.97
Total with tax= $36.95

Wet your skin and apply Simple's foaming cleanser into wet skin with your finger tips.


To get out all of the dirt and impurities use Olay Fresh Effects's Va-Va-Vivid powered contour cleansing brush. Use it on your face in a gentle circular motion.



Lastly, use Simple's Protecting Light Moisturizer with SPF 15 to protect your skin from 
UVA and UVB rays.

COVERGIRL Ready Set Gorgeous Liquid Foundation

Here is another foundation to add to your list for women of colour. 

We all know how hard it is to find a foundation that is not to "red" or not "too muddy". I  found one which can be found in your local drugstore. I should let you guys know that this is not a review. I just wanted to put this out there for any looking for something affordable to try.

If you're looking for a medium coverage to full coverage foundation that is oil-free 
try Covergirl's Ready Set Gorgeous ($7.99 CAN)! 
This liquid foundation's oil-free formula provides medium coverage to even skin tone and cover imperfections. The result is a flawless, natural look that lasts all day.

Apparently this foundation has a built-in powder system to fight shine and sweat.


For me 315 was too light and 320 was too dark so I mixed 
them both to get a custom colour.
