Investing in Myself! Four Ways I Seized the Day

This post is sponsored by JUVÉDERM®. The opinions on this blog, as always, are my own.

I don’t think I’m alone when I say I’ve had a little extra time on my hands over the last few months. My newfound slower pace – originally unwelcome, but we all must adapt – had given me much time to reflect on many things, including my life, habits, and the changes I could make to better myself. I’ve invested in so many things over the years – a new home, new car, my career, my children – I’d finally realized that it was time to invest in my well-being. …

Winter Skin Care Myths… Busted!

October 18, 2020 By Lena 2 Comments

This blog post is sponsored by Aveeno. The opinions on this blog, as always, are my own.

Ladies, it’s sweater weather. Could there be a more iconic season than fall? Colourful leaves, PSLs and warm apple pie… these are a few of my favourite (fall) things!

Of course, the fall season is also a test-run when it comes to cooler temps, and just ahead of the cold winter weather, I think it’s the perfect time to re-evaluate our skin care regimens to make sure they’re working for us. Today, I’m busting myths about skin care and re-introducing you to a product that I’ve been using religiously for the last three years with fabulous results. Spoiler alert, it’s AVEENO® ABSOLUTELY AGELESS™ Restorative Night Cream!
Myth #1: Quality skin care costs a lot of money.

Of course, this is false! It’s all about finding the right formula for your skin, and sometimes, even the most exotic ingredients simply aren’t compatible with your skin type (or fail to deliver the results you’re hoping for). The trick is to get back to basics: what is your skin type, and how do you want your skin to look feel? If a product can address these needs in an effective way, forget about the price tag and concentrate on the results. …

The Secret to Smoother Skin is Here.

November 27, 2017 By Lena 29 Comments

Now, in a new and improved formula.

Earlier this year – in a post entitled Smooth Move: Is it Time to go Glycolic? – I introduced you to NeoStrata Glycolic Renewal Antioxidant Smoothing Serum. The product is a powerful daily exfoliating serum, ideal used before applying your favourite cream or lotion to smooth out skin’s texture and improve skin’s quality. With continued use, pores, fine lines and irregularities become less visible.

A long-time reader, Kathy Downey, actually provided excellent feedback (thanks Kathy!):

March 7, 2017: “I do have sensitive skin and the other products I tried didn’t work so well, going to give this a try and see how it goes. Thanks for the review!”

May 15, 2017: “I just got the Neostrata Glycolic Renewal Antioxidant Smoothing Serum for Mother’s Day I can’t wait to try it!”

June 4, 2017: “The Neostrata Glycolic Renewal Antioxidant Smoothing Serum has been working so well on my terrible dry skin, so glad for your introduction!”

September 10, 2017: “After months of using I really like the results!”

Woo hoo! Thanks for continually circling back with your experience. On behalf of NeoStrata, thank you for giving it a try, and I’m so happy you are enjoying it!

Today, I’m here to share news of two brand NEW products: Neostrata Glycolic Renewal 5% Smoothing Lotion and NeoStrata Glycolic Renewal 5% Smoothing Cream. Much like their predecessor, the Glycolic Renewal products contain Glycolic Acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) which exfoliates dead cells on skin’s surface while maximizing skin renewal. However, the newer generation moisturizers contain a smaller concentration of the AHA (5%), making them suitable for sensitive skin. …

Beauty SOS: Hydrating & Plumping Sheet Mask

August 13, 2017 By Lena 73 Comments

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

Friends, let me know if this sounds familiar. Perhaps you’ve been working late, taking in too much caffeine and neglecting your skin. Maybe facing elements such as wind and sun – or worse, indoor air conditioning – has caught up with you, leaving your skin dry and dehydrated. Or, it could be even more basic than that – you have dry skin, have always had dry skin, and have learned to live with your dry skin.

It’s time for a Beauty SOS.

For those times when you’re faced with a dry skin “emergency” – placed in quotes because really, first world problems, right? – it’s good to know that fast-acting relief for dehydrated skin is available. Introducing NeoStrata Hydrating & Plumping Sheet Mask.
Featuring 0.15% pure hyaluronic acid, as well as a blend of botanicals, the mask rehydrates the skin and replenishes its moisture barrier, while also enhancing its protection against external aggressors. It’s extremely gentle and after just 15 minutes, you can tangibly feel the improvement: softer, more comfortable and supple skin. …

All About Cleansers

August 3, 2016 By Lena

Combination skin. Also known as the least desirable skin type known to womankind – and also the most common! In fact, many women think they have oily or dry skin, but actually have a combination of both.

Here are some signs you have combination skin:

– You experience excessive oil and shine in your t-zone (forehead, down the nose to the chin), while your cheeks feel tight and dry.
– Your skin is oilier in summer and dry in winter, and even if you switch up your skin care, 11:00am shine in your T-zone is pretty much a guarantee.
– During menstruation, you may experience breakouts in your T-zone. However, once your period is over, the breakouts clear right up and your skin begins to feel extra dry and flaky.

Sounds like you? Welcome to the world of combination skin!

Now you may feel like your skin has a split personality, and unfortunately, it kind of does. I’ve dealt with the consequences of combination skin for decades and am acutely aware of the importance of finding the right cleanser. In fact, using the incorrect cleanser – whether it be too stripping or too moisturizing – can derail your entire skin care regime. So, take some time, do a little trial and error, and uncover the perfect cleanser for you!
13767626_1018845368235334_1146099638_n The first step? Choose a brand with proven, superior skin care solutions that really work. As the first cosmeceutical brand in Canada, NeoStrata develops leading-edge skincare products that are supported and endorsed by the medical community. NeoStrata’s cleansing products refresh and cleanse, revealing smoother, clearer and younger-looking skin. …

Make Your Teeth a BIG Deal

April 4, 2016 By Lena

Confession: I’m only *mildly* obsessed with my teeth.

I brush and floss twice a day and use an interdental pick to get in between my bonded retainer. I rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash at least once daily and visit my dentist like clockwork every four months. I used to whiten my teeth aggressively with at-home whitening strips, a practice I abandoned in recent years, preferring to simply stay on top of my oral hygiene for a more natural look.

oda And what can I say? I have a great smile.

April is Oral Health Month! If it’s been a while since you’ve seen your dentist, now would be a perfect time to make an appointment. Regular dentist visits are the very best way to detect oral (and overall) health problems you might not know you have, and prevent them before they start.

Need a little more convincing? Here are 10 Reasons to Make Your Teeth a Big Deal!

1. Your Appearance. *Of course, * I’m going to get a little vain here. Your smile lights up your face; it’s high on the list of “attractive qualities” for both men and women alike. Your smile is also part of your first impression, which is essential for both social and professional interactions.

2. Your Self-Esteem. Oral health affects physical, mental and social well-being. If you have tooth pain, are missing teeth or experience frequent tooth infections, it can have an impact on how you speak, eat and socialize. Keeping your teeth in optimal condition goes a long way to boost your self-esteem. …

COVERGIRL: Embrace Your Face

March 29, 2016 By Lena

Welcome to Spring! It’s my favourite season of the year – and I’m not just saying that because my birthday is coming up in two weeks!

Spring is about renewal. It’s about shrugging off the heavy layers (both physically and metaphorically) that we endured all winter, and looking forward to longer, brighter days. It’s also a great time to lighten up: our diets, clothing, hair colour, and even our makeup routine.

This Spring, embrace your face with COVERGIRL! In just 30 seconds, you can get matched to your perfect foundation based on the coverage you need, your skin type and skin tone, and the preferred makeup finish you are looking for. Personally, I love buildable coverage for my dry skin, with a natural look for my medium complexion. According to the #EmbraceYourFace Makeup Finder, I was matched with TruBLEND Liquid Makeup!
IMG_1765c TruBLEND Liquid Makeup is available in 14 shades and features a new shade matching system. To find your perfect blend, first determine your shade family. Second, choose your number. Coordinate complementary truBLEND products based on your number for a seamlessly flawless nude look that blends in and virtually disappears.

I’m wearing truBLEND foundation in Golden Beige M-3, with a light dusting of TRUblend Pressed Powder in Translucent Honey 3. I wore a strapless top to illustrate how closely the liquid makeup matches my natural skin tone; as you can see, it is a touch more rosy than my yellow-based skin, but overall, I’m quite happy with the shade and ease of application. …

Winter Itch? Scratch That. (Or Don’t)

November 30, 2015 By Lena

It’s a casualty of being Canadian. Dry skin. Winter itch. My epidermis is tingling just thinking about it.

Of course we’re victims of winter itch! Cold, dry air… heated homes and buildings… and the endless cycle of scale, scratch, scale. Anyone else have legs that resemble flour bins this season? Yeah, me too.

Once again, here’s your chance to ask an expert – join the @CeraVeCanada #DermWednesday Twitter Chat on December 2nd at 8:00PM EST. Dr. Ben Barankin from The Toronto Dermatology Centre will be on hand to answer any of your dry skin concerns.

To thank you for joining the conversation, three (3) attendees will win a CeraVe Prize Bundle!

And now, try not to scratch your skin silly. My recommendation? Try CeraVe Moisturizing Cream! It increases the skin’s ability to attract, hold and distribute moisture, and is recognized by the Canadian Dermatology Association’s Skin Health Program. One of my faves!

Questions About Skincare? Ask a Dermatologist Anything!

October 16, 2015 By Lena

Do you need professional help? Sometimes we all need therapy … for our skin, that is.

However, it’s not always easy to reach an expert when we need one most. Questions about your skin care routine? Changes in aging skin, or adult acne? If you’re like me, you may want to know more about Botox, microdermabrasion or laser hair removal.

Here’s your chance to ask an expert – join the @CeraVeCanada #DermWednesday Twitter Chat on October 21st at 8:00PM EDT. Dr. Ben Barankin from The Toronto Dermatology Centre will be on hand to answer any of your skin care concerns.

To thank you for joining the conversation, three (3) attendees will win a CeraVe Prize Bundle, including a selection of CeraVe’s must-have cleansers and moisturizers.

CeraVe is the first brand to contain the essential ceramides, cholesterol and fatty esters that healthy skin needs, delivered through a controlled-release MVE system over 24 hours. The daily regimen of cleansers and moisturizers helps repair, replenish and protect the skin barrier to leave your skin looking and feeling soft, clean and healthy.

It promises to be an informative chat! Mark your calendars!

My Morning Selfie

April 6, 2015 By Lena

If you asked me 28 days ago how I’d feel about a no filter, close-up selfie taken before 8:00am, with minimal makeup and zero photoshopping… I would have rolled my eyes at you.

Of course, that was before Garnier’s NEW Ultra-Lift Miracle Sleeping Night Cream.
image1 (2) From my previous post, Believe in Miracles, I shared my experience with this revolutionary new night cream – the first of its kind to deliver results from your first overnight use, while continually improving the look of your skin over time. You can expect to wake up to smoother, rested-looking skin that will have you believing miracles do happen overnight!

Today, I’m exactly one week shy of my 37^th birthday. And I am officially embracing life (fine lines and all). However, I won’t lie – I fight Mother Nature with a gusto normally reserved for fighting world wars and banishing whale poachers. And the newest weapon in my arsenal against aging is Garnier’s Ultra-Lift Miracle Sleeping Night Cream. …

Can You Fake a Good Night’s Sleep?

February 17, 2015 By Lena

As a mom of two young boys, I have only one answer… I WISH!

While sleep is a necessity, a good night’s sleep is a luxury ’round here. I mean really, does any mom actually sleep well? I’d like to meet her and shake her hand! (And, maybe, swap families with her.) Hence, when I was invited by the good folks at Garnier to indulge in a good night’s sleep at the Garnier Miracle Hotel, I was immeasurably excited.

Until I realized that I’d be in Orlando, juggling work, family and roller coasters – ergo, likely not getting any sleep at all.

So I did the next best thing – I bestowed the gift of a good night’s sleep to Elaine Atkins of Toronto Beauty Reviews, and asked her to report back on her experience at this exclusive, widely coveted event. Take it away Elaine!
B9r7RRgCEAIj9xp Are you always chasing a good night’s sleep? As we age and lead busier and busier lives (think work, social obligations, kids, and even household chores) we lose a little bit of quality sleep with each new task we take on.

I was invited to check into the Garnier Miracle Hotel to help me get that rest that I so desperately needed. So, where is this mysterious Garnier Miracle Hotel, you ask? It’s none other than the Trump International Hotel in Toronto, decked out by the Garnier Canada team. …

Bang On!

February 13, 2015 By Lena

It’s no secret that I like changing things up, especially when it comes to my hairstyles. Long… short… dark… light… curly… straight… you name it, I’ve done it. Several times. In the past year.

However, if there’s one look I’ve yet to master, it’s bangs. You see, I’ve been told I have “the face” for bangs; I just normally make the same mistake over and over again… cutting my bangs in the summer. When there’s humidity.

Hint: humidity + bangs = no bueno.

Therefore, I decided that for once, I was going to make a smart decision about when to chop my locks. Ah, cold, dry winter air – you’re horrible for skin, but heavenly for bangs!
IMG_2047 (2) Straight, well-behaved bangs are literally all I want in life, besides fresh air, clean water and chocolate bars. And thick, long bangs are a bold statement! They say: “I’m so confident in my appearance you only need to see 66% percent of my face to get the gist of how amazing I am.”

Of course, they also say: “Cheaper than Botox.” …

The Cindy Crawford.

October 9, 2014 By Lena

“What’s this?” Reid asks, pointing to his upper lip.

“It’s just some dirt,” I reply, licking my finger and wiping it across his face.

The speck of dirt does not vanish.

“Huh.” I frown, bending my face close to his for a more in-depth inspection.

“Oh!” I exclaim, smiling at him. “I think you have a little birthmark!”

He looks at me, thoughtfully, digesting this strange new word. Turning toward the mirror, he once again rubs at his face, trying to remove the mark.

“Leave it,” I admonish. “It’s not going to go away. It’s a tiny little mark and now it’s part of your face. It’s beautiful! It’s a Cindy Crawford!”

He looks at me like I just told him that Santa Claus eats reindeer kabobs for dinner.

“I DON’T WANT THE CINDY CRAWFORD!” he yells, horrified.
Oh Reid, you don’t know how beautiful you are.

Get the Look: Jennifer Aniston

September 15, 2014 By Lena

The truth is, I was on Team Jolie.

Yeah, I know the supposed feud went down about 10 years ago, and the only people who still care are the overly enthusiastic commenters on gossip websites. (Side note: have you ever read the comments on www.usmagazine.com? They’re actually more entertaining than the article!)

But I digress. My reason for sticking with Ms. Jolie was one of simple fact: you can’t steal a man. Either a man wants to leave his wife, or he doesn’t. Unfortunately for both Angelina and Jennifer, they were unwilling participants in the tug-of-war of the century.

Of course, when Brad Pitt is the grand prize, I *almost* understand, and forgive, the hype.

And aside from Jennifer’s stoic resolve to stay respectful when speaking to the media, I had to admire one thing…. her otherworldly incredible hair and skin. Truly! There is just something so flawless about her beauty, from her perfectly bronzed skin to her thick veil of stylishly coiffed locks. She is a beauty and style icon; an ambassador to those who revere a fresh, natural look.

Recently, AVEENO Global Ambassador Jennifer Aniston showed off her glowing skin at the premiere of her upcoming film, Cake. Aniston’s make-up artist, Angela Levin, created the star’s natural look, which she debuted at the Toronto Film Festival. And I just happen to have all the beauty tips, straight from Angela Levin herself!

"Cake" Premiere - 2014 Toronto International Film Festival “I started the day by prepping Jen’s skin with AVEENO POSITIVELY RADIANT Skin Brightening Daily Scrub. It’s very gentle and leaves the skin feeling clean and fresh, making it a perfect surface for makeup application.

I proceeded by applying AVEENO POSITIVELY RADIANT Daily Moisturizer SPF 15 on her face and neck. Jen loves this moisturizer – it feels light on the skin and is very effective in keeping it hydrated and toned throughout the day.

I then applied a light coat of foundation by CHANEL Perfection Lumière Velvet, in two colors – 60 Beige on her neck and outer areas of her face and 50 Beige in the center.

I then used CHANEL Les Beiges in N50 as a bronzer on her forehead, chin and cheek using the brush that comes with the compact. I love this product because it’s matte and I can build the application to heavier or lighter.

For her cheeks, I mixed CHANEL Cream Blush in Chamade with Make Up Forever Cream Blush 335 and gently applied using my fingers, creating a sun kissed natural look. …

Surprise! I’m California Dreamin’….

September 11, 2014 By Lena

Psst! I have a secret. It’s not a HUGE secret, but it’s a pretty AWESOME one.

I’m currently in Los Angeles!

Yup, I’ve been whisked away for a very special assignment for Proctor & Gamble. As a #PGMom, you know I’ve received a few amazing perks over the years… well, none could be more amazing than this!

Now I can’t give away the details just yet, but think photo shoot. And modelling. And North American campaign. Told you it was awesome, no? Pinch me!

As soon as I can share information about the campaign, you know I will! In the meantime, I’ll be squeezing in some pool time today at The Standard Downtown LA, my home for the next three days.

The Standard What are the odds I can score one of those red private cabanas? Wish me luck!

I’ll be back home Saturday night and it’ll be business as usual… in the meantime, I’m going to order room service, head out to soak up the sun (and do a little shopping!) and of course, strike a pose. Have a great weekend friends!

30 Days of Beauty = 30 Fabulous Looks!

August 19, 2014 By Lena

One of my favourite pastimes is trying to decode a celebrity’s “signature beauty look”. Often, it’s very easy – Gwen Stefani’s red lips, Lauren Conrad’s winged eyeliner, Beyoncé’s long blond extensions – but sometimes, it’s downright challenging. Think Christina Aguilera – who loves to completely overhaul her image every few seasons. Or Katy Perry, who can sport blue hair one night… and blonde hair the next. And I must pay homage to Madonna, who has been a beauty and style chameleon for decades.

I too have a signature beauty look. Can you guess? (The question is probably easier to answer for those who see me on a regular basis.) My favourite look is precisely lined eyes, cheeks defined with bronzer instead of blush, and dewy, nude lips. In fact, you could say I watched Jennifer Lopez’s If You Had My Love music video a few too many times in 1999… and decided the look was one worth hanging on to. But you know what? For tanned girls, it’s a classic beauty combo that never goes out of style.

30 Days of Beauty has returned to Shoppers Drug Mart! In its 4th year, this national event (the biggest of the year!) runs now until September 14th, 2014.

0176-14-30-DOB-BB-alu-e1408314937903 Pop into your local Shoppers Drug Mart throughout the month, where 30 Fabulous Looks will tell the story of 30 Days of Beauty through visuals, instructional “How-To’s”, and exciting 1-day only offers as well as campaign offers on all of your favourite beauty brands. Online, you can check out behind-the-scenes videos available on youtube.ca, and visit www.30daysofbeauty.ca, where you can uncover the 1-day offer for each day and be schooled on how to achieve all thirty of the 30 Fabulous Looks.

(Guess that’s a challenge to broaden my beauty horizons!)

BONUS: An exclusive gift with purchase is available August 23-August 29, 2014 when you spend $75 or more on Cosmetics, Skin Care or Fragrance. A beautiful Cosmetic Pouch, filled with over 25 beauty and fragrance samples, is fabulous and free!

And rest assured, the team of beauty experts at Shoppers Drug Mart is there to help, so if you have any makeup or skin care questions, it’s the perfect time to drop in for a consultation. Customers can even book a 5-minute makeover in-store and ask for their favourite 30 Days of Beauty look!

I stopped by Shoppers Drug Mart multiple times during the event last year, and I can attest that the savings are fabulous. Have a fave Cover Girl mascara? Like to stock up on your trusted Lancôme moisturizer? Bookmark www.30daysofbeauty.ca to stay on top of the offers and promos, so you’ll know when to pop in. (I think I still have a few unopened lip glosses from my haul last year.)

Tell me – do you have a signature beauty look?

Summer Hair Care: The Choice is CLEAR

August 1, 2014 By Lena

When it comes to beauty essentials, I’m a creature of habit. Although my position as a blogger allows me to review a variety of products, at the end of the day, I tend to stick with my tried and true favourites. In fact, if you’ve been paying attention, you’ll see that my product recommendations for beauty products are few and far between… simply because I feel like a fraud if I endorse a different beauty product every other day.

Hence, if I’m talking about something, chances are, I use it. A lot.

Now when it comes to CLEAR Scalp & Hair, I love introducing it into my beauty rotation to “shake up” my routine. I’m a firm believer that your body can get used to the products you repeatedly use, which over time, lessons their effectiveness. In the case of hair care, I generally switch my stand-by products every few months with a quality system, such as the CLEAR Intense Hydration line.

CLEAR Resilient, beautiful looking hair starts at the foundation. CLEAR Intense Hydration Shampoo, Conditioner and Deep Nourishing Mask are clinically proven to help replenish the scalp with essential 24 hour hydration, making hair resilient to dryness for soft, silky tresses. CLEAR Intense Hydration products are infused with Cactus extract, a known hydrator.

It’s very hard to put into words exactly how much I truly enjoy CLEAR Scalp & Hair. I love the luscious fragrance which lingers on after my hair has dried. I adore how the shampoo lathers with ease and the conditioner rinses clean away with minimal effort. And I’m convinced the texture of my hair has improved since I started regularly using the Deep Nourishing Mask.

But if I had to name one thing that has me sold on CLEAR Scalp & Hair, it’s that I just have many more good hair days when I use the products.

It’s not complicated. I spend less time heat styling my hair, because my locks are more tamed. I find fewer hairs in my comb and brush, because my hair seems to resist breakage. And most importantly, I receive more compliments about the overall healthy appearance of my hair.

(Even my husband notices! And he’s, like, impervious to most things beauty-related.)

So take a long look at your hair, and your hair care routine. Do you need a break from your every day? Try CLEAR Scalp & Hair. I’m quite confident you’ll be impressed with the results. And remember, for a limited time, you can try it for less! Here’s a coupon for $3.00 off your purchase of a CLEAR product.

The Voice Tour Presented by CLEAR Scalp & Hair #ClearVoice

July 16, 2014 By Lena

If you caught my blog a couple of weeks ago, you’ll know that I offered one lucky reader a “melodious” experience – the chance to see The Voice Tour LIVE when it rolled into Toronto. But the prize pack included more than just tickets to the show; the lucky winner and guest were treated to backstage passes, the opportunity to sit in on sound check, and of course, a chance to see their favourite performers and personalities live!

The Voice Tour Toronto The tour, presented by CLEAR Scalp & Hair (hashtag #ClearVoice) featured past stars and this season’s finalists, including Josh Kaufman, Jake Worthington, Christina Grimmie, Kristen Merlin (fan favourite), Jake Barker, Tessanne Chin and more. The crooners entertained a full house with their most popular hits from the show.

The Voice Tour Toronto Of course, other than the singing, it was pretty apparent that the performers had one thing in common – amazing hair! Could their secret be CLEAR Scalp & Hair products? …
