Schick Hydro Silk disposable razor

We made it half way through Summer and it wasn't bad! I will admit, I haven't done everything I wanted to but I am trying to take a vacation in the Caribbean. That's a whole other post!

Right now, I am finding all my old dresses I packed away from last year ( I know I'm late) and getting the best use out of them. With that said, we all know that shaving your legs is a must. What do you guys think about disposable razors? I'll be honest- I usually avoid them! In my opinion, they lack style and control. Flashback to getting razor burns and getting bad nicks all over my legs.

I had the opportunity to try out the Schick Hydro Silk® disposable razors and was pleasantly surprised. At first I didn't even notice that it wasn't the "refillable" kind like the (Schick Hydro Silk razor) that I reviewed in the past. It's fashionable and comfortable. It has rubber grip- so I won't lose it in the tub. Plus I don't need to use shaving cream when I use it because of the water activated serum.

I have 15 Schick Hydro Silk® disposable razors to send out for test and review!

Hair Talk- Maintenance

Time for another hair post! The theme is "Maintenance". Summer is here and in my opinion it takes a bit more time to take care of your extensions. Pool parties, beaches, bbq and the overall sun can cause damage.

If my hair series is new to you.. I suggest you check out these past popular posts:

• My view on extensions(weaves)
• Hair talk: Textures & Extensions 

I'm not an expert so I decided to ask Constance from Bella Dream Hair some quick real life questions/scenarios on hair maintenance.

How do I get out tangles?
You can use a paddle brush or a boar brush to comb the hair.

Air dry or Blow dry?
I would recommend blowdrying the hair on a low setting, however air drying the hair is very important.

I dyed the hair now it's horribly dry. What now?
Co-washing the hair with a deep conditioner and leaving it in for at least 20 minutes can help replenish the hair after dying it.

How do I straighten the hair without damaging it?
You should always use heat protectant when apply any heat to your hair. TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray is a great one.

How do I preserve the hair once I take it out?
Storing the hair in a rectangular box with a lid will keep the hair clean and fresh. Be sure not to fold the hair or it will leave a bend in it.

I hope this helps!

Canadians! Moroccanoil Launches Innovative E-Commerce

I remember when it was difficult to get your hands on Moroccanoil products in Canada. 

You could either A) get it shipped from USA which resulted in high duty fees or B) Take a trip to Buffalo. 

Beginning July 1, 2013 (Canada Day), customers within Canada can now visit the official website, www.moroccanoil.com, and make fully authorized purchases from the entire range of hair and body care products. Designed to attract sales away from unauthorized online vendors, the brand’s e-commerce initiative features an innovative profit-sharing platform that rewards all facets of the distribution channel: whenever a customer purchases a hair care product, they will have the option to select from a list of participating salons that will benefit from a percentage of each sale. If a client chooses not to select a salon during their purchase, the closest Moroccanoil Loyalty Salon to their address will automatically be credited with the sale. The client is also sent a list of five Moroccanoil salons closest to their location along with their order. There are now hundreds of salons in Canada that are part of the Moroccanoil Loyalty Salon Program, which continues to grow rapidly.

As a Canadian, it's amazing to get access to e-comm sites that cater to us.

Deciding what to get on the site?

Polysporin At-Home Spa Party

Lip health is important in the summer as it is in the winter. One of my biggest pet peeves is chapped lips.

Seventy-seven per cent of Canadians feel an emotional impact if they have chapped lips.

When there are amazing products out there like Polysporin’s Visible Lip Health out there, No one.. I repeat no one should have chapped lips.

I was given the opportunity for my mom and I to be treated to an at-home spa experience.  Totally what I needed after a stressful day at work!

If you remember my review of Polysporin’s Visible Lip Health- Day & Night line last year, I was a huge fan.

We were given lovely treats to get the night started!

After stuffing our face with chocolates. We were given a spa treatment which was an amazing facial + Massage by the Wright Spa Mobile Beauty Services! After the facial she give us a lip scrub then applied Polysporin’s Visible Lip Health- Day to our lips. 

Then it was followed by a full make-up consultation of the latest lip colour trends.

Each product is $5.99 and can be found at Walmart!
