Try This Tuesday- Murad Skincare

Hello Gorgeous!
It is my great pleasure today to share an amazing skincare secret, Murad Canada is changing the skincare game one product at a time. Dr. Murad is considered a visionary by creating nineteen patents that will get your skin glowing from the inside out. I am so excited to share the products that I have been using for the last two weeks that have rejuvenated my skin.



The Intensive Vitamin C Peel works to diminish hyper-pigmentation, sun spots, while brightening the skin. This product is applied in a thin layer and stays on the skin for ten to fifteen minutes. I love this product, it does tingle a little but the formula goes on smooth and is very light on the skin. I admit I like to leave this on for around twenty minutes so that the peel has time to do it's job. My skin is definitely brighter and I know with continued use the redness in my skin will decrease even more than it already has.

The Murad Canada daily moisturizer with SPF is definitely my fave product. I was SHOCKED by how light the formula is. Most of the moisturizers with SPF are very heavy and go on greasy-like. The Murad moisturizer goes on smooth, is non-greasy, and best part, the SPF sunscreen smell is very minimal (you know what that smell is). This is a must-have in your skincare routine.

The exfoliating cleanser has been a pleasant surprise. The formula is grainy as you would expect an exfoliator to be, but this one doesn't leave my skin dry after using. I use it twice a week, as I find using an exfoliator daily tends to be too harsh on my skin. It massages into the skin easily and will leave your skin feeling cleansed. 

This Advanced Active Radiance Serum is now part of my daily routine. As a woman in her thirties I have found serums to be beneficial to my skin to help fight the signs of aging (as long as it's the right one). After two days of using this serum my skin looked refreshed, smooth, and bright (like I had slept a straight eight hours, as a mom you know that never happens). I tend to use this serum as a moisturizer due to the humidity in the air. To all you ladies out there, GET THIS!

The last Murad Canada I was able to try is the Intensive Wrinkle Reducer for Eyes. This is a thicker formula and I admit I need to remind myself to put this on at night time, as I am not used to using eye cream. I have noticed that the darkness under my eyes is decreasing due to using this product regularly. I am lucky to not have a lot of eye wrinkles yet, BUT that doesn't mean I won't use this product. I want to combat the signs of aging before they happen.

Overall, Murad Canada offers a fantastic skincare line. The serum and the moisturizer I will be buying again. I highly recommend you take a look at the website here and shipping is free with code teach. GO ahead and try one product that you think will rejuvenate your skin, you won't be disappointed.

Monday Musings- VarageSale (Buy and Sell)

Hello Gorgeous!
I know you all have items in your closet (or your kids closets) that you can part with. Today I am going to tell you about a great website and app. that allows you to sell items that you no longer need. I am a part of many Facebook buy and sell groups but I find it hard to get the items I really want because I am not able to watch all the groups at once. VarageSale has become my perfect buy and sell place because I can join a community based on my location and search different categories, rather than scrolling down the entire page to hopefully find what I am looking for. VarageSale is your online garage sale. 


To get started buying and selling you can head to the VarageSale site and download the free app from the app store. Login with Facebook or create your login and start posting your items. To make it even more enticing to get started VarageSale is offering you $10 to post your first item!


What are you waiting for get started right now!

Rosegal Blue

Hello Gorgeous!
This is a SUPER busy blog week for me and I have a couple more posts lined up for this week. Today I have teamed up with Rosegal an amazing online shopping site that offers trendy clothes at the most affordable prices. I chose to show this gorgeous blue maxi dress today and guess what? It's less than eighteen dollars ($18). I admit I didn't have high hopes for this dress, so I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. I LOVE IT! The chiffon fabric is so soft, and after an iron the dress looked like I had spent over a hundred dollars on it. This would make the perfect dress to wear to a summer wedding, just add your fave belt and you're good to go.
Rosegal has an abundance of clothing items to choose from and with many items being under twenty-five dollars ($25) how can you resist? I will definitely be shopping with Rosegal again.

Try This Tuesday- 7 Things You Didn't Know You Needed

Hello Gorgeous!
Today I have rounded up seven items that you didn't know you needed. Everything from travel products, hair perfume, and socks are included in this post. Each item is unique and extremely practical for your everyday life. Read on to find out more.


Keysocks are not your standard socks! Keysocks allow your socks to remain hidden so it appears like you are wearing no socks at all. Keysocks have a key sized cut out in the front foot area, so when you wear your shoes it appears as if you are wearing no socks at all. Keysocks are made from a unique microfibre that allows the sock to stay on the toes and the heel of your foot.


I know this is not the prettiest picture I have ever taken but this little Steripod will help to sanitize your toothbrush. The Steripod sanitizes your toothbrush for three months and it clips onto to cover your toothbrush so you don't have to leave it out in the open. What a great travel idea as well.

The Velvet Touch is a hair removal mitten that you move up and down on your body where you want hair to be removed. It is painless and great for a quick touch up where you feel it's needed. The Velvet Touch may not replace your regular hair removal technique but it is very helpful when you discover that you missed a spot.


I love these bags from Big Bag Theory because they fold up to be so compact that it will fit in my purse. I use these bags to do my grocery shopping because when the bag is unzipped a large tote bag folds out. Big Bag Theory has many different colour options to choose from and I know these bags will be in your purse or car at all times.

Here is the big bag when unzipped, it's amazing how much you can fit in these handy tote bags. Head to Big Bag Theory to get yours now.

I know I did a post on how much I love Pinch Provisions a few months ago, but I had to share this amazing product again. Take a look at all these items that come in this gorgeous gold and white striped bag. Pinch Provisions has carefully picked out items you will need when you are in a 'pinch'.

Bait Hair Perfume not only smells amazing but you can use this product as regular perfume. The bottle is gorgeous, and the smell is divine. What else could you want? With a price of around $35 you really can't go wrong with your choice of four scents from Bait Hair Perfume.

Last but not least you need to try Almay's makeup eraser sticks. These make makeup touch ups a breeze because each stick is similar to a q-tip shape which allows you to get into the smallest of areas. I tend to use these a lot to touch up my eye liner and I do not have a steady hand.

Which one of these products would you try? Let me know!
