It is always so much fun to discover exciting new products that are not only useful and serve a function, but also exceed the bar over anything you have seen or used before.

I am so wild crazy about this spectacular jewelry company and all of their fabulous jewelry collections.

Hello Everyone!For those of you who are not aware, I had to take some time off from blogging due to my Dad's illness.

Spring has Sprung! Everything is coming back to life; the grass is becoming green again, the trees are bearing leaves and flowers are starting to bloom. All this happens in large part due to the sun, which is also becoming much brighter and stronger. So now is the time to become proactive and make sure you are protecting your eyes from the sun's harmful rays! For me, sun protection is not

Warm sunny breezes, the beautiful aroma of blooming flowers, you have that extra bounce in your step because you feel energized and carefree in the heat of the Spring and Summer air. Why not match the clothes you wear with the lively spirit that you are feeling ~ bright, colorful gorgeous clothes that will make you feel like you are walking in the midst of a tropical island!

Spring is almost here and what better way to kick off a fresh new season than with a beautiful new fragrance! For me, Spring is all about revival, with fresh spring breezes, new green grass, fragrant pretty flowers blooming and bright sunshine! A time when I want to reinvent myself, start with a clean slate, and create new looks for myself. I enjoy changing things up, revamping everything about

I am an admitted jeans-a-holic! My very favorite article of clothing to wear is a cute, stylish, sexy and most importantly comfortable pair of jeans. Even in the summer, I enjoy wearing a darling pair of jeans with a light, breezy summer top and of course a super hot pair of sandals. Wearing jeans is part of who I am and they define my own personal sense of style. They have to be stylish and

I am so tired of bundling up all Winter long wearing socks, boots, anything to keep my footsies warm and dry! Yes, the joys of living up north where it is blustery cold, wet and snowy for months at a time has really gotten old right about now!! But alas, Spring is almost here, and the thought of wearing beautiful sexy sandals and running around barefoot is almost a reality that I am so anxious

I recently had the urge to treat myself to a new pair of jeans. I thought it would be great to have a new pair of jeans for the upcoming holiday season that I could wear to some of the more casual events we will be attending. In my head I envisioned a pair of jeans that had a touch of dressiness and glamour to them, something that is currently lacking in my existing collection of jeans. I also

I celebrated a pretty big achievement on October 1, 2010. It was my one year anniversary from the day I quit smoking. I didn't publicize it because honestly, it was probably one of the hardest goals I have ever had, and I never knew from day to day if I would fall off the wagon and break down and smoke again. But using the cold turkey method, no other aids, I did it! But I admit, there isn't

When I first heard of LIPO in a BOX it immediately caught my attention. If you don't know this about me already, I am obsessed with under garments that make you instantly look thinner than you really are. So of course for me learning about LIPO in a BOX was one of those eyes wide open, gotta go check this out moments. So I went straight to their website and spent about 1/2 hour there enjoying

If you are already familiar with E-Cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, then you know the quality and performance of the hundreds of brands out in the marketplace varies tremendously as do the prices! I have tried many different brands of E-cigarettes and have wasted so much money on brands that didn't perform very well, or didn't work at all, that is makes me very reluctant to want to invest any

I am one of those gals who loves to wear makeup and experiment with lots of different costmetics and colors to create new looks for myself. It is my favorite guilty pleasure, no calories but gives me all the satisfaction! I have seen and read about air brushing as a method to apply foundation and makeup, but never in a million years did I think I would get a chance to apply some on myself using

Everyday I become increasingly more aware about the importance of reading the labels on the products that we eat and use on and in our bodies. Educating myself on the good versus the bad ingredients in these types of products is something I am very passionate about and have learned the importance of becoming knowledgeable about what they are. While I cannot say that in our household we are

Wearing jewelry is my favorite way to add some spice and pizzazz to my outfits to make them stand out from being ordinary. Jewelry is a fun way to define your own unique sense of personal style and I love how just adding a couple of unusual and signature jewelry pieces can really transform your look and reinvent your persona.

The AVEENO® Positively Radiant Collection of products is one of the best "finds" out in the marketplace today when it comes to affordable, effective, natural quality skin care.

Living on Lake Ontario means I live in my bathing suit most of the warm Spring, Summer and even Fall months. If it is warm enough outside to swim, then I am in my bathing suit. So owning a bathing suit that looks great on me is imperative for my confidence and self esteem. It is hard to find bathing suits that fit comfortably, and make you look your personal best. And it is even rarer to find

Here's my scenario: I love fashion, I enjoy keeping up with the trends and wearing apparel that is going to make me look amazing. I am also on a perpetual journey to "green up my act" so my greening transformation is ongoing. So what happens when both of my worlds collide? When my love for fashion meets my passion for living a green lifestyle? The answer, ALO Sport, hooray for this

Ever since I can remember I have always been a jean wearin' gal. Wearing jeans is when I feel the most comfortable. When I am in my jeans I feel carefree, a sense of timeless freedom that I never want to let go of. So on any given day, you will always find me in a pair of jeans that I wear because they define who I am and help me to create my own sense of style. And, no matter how many pairs

I finally get what the term "the fine art of layering" means when it comes to bath and body products! When you use soap, body cream and perfume that is all the same scent, specifically created to work harmoniously together to give you the ultimate in that fragrance's potential, it takes that scent to a whole new level! Imagine you find the most intoxicating, tantalizing, beautiful scent, by

I am an admitted jeans junkie! I live in jeans, and I love jeans. The better the fit, the more spectacular the fabric and the sexier the style, the more likely I am to fall in love with them. I can clearly see why some of my favorite female celebrities have been smitten with the wide range of styles of jeans offered by DL1961.

XCVI Clothing is the first line of apparel that I have come across in a long time where I can say every single design is one that I would wear, and the clothes seem to fit in with not only my lifestyle but my personality. I have fallen in love with individual pieces of clothes within many different lines before, but not always loving everything within that line. The artistic, mesmerizing, fashion

I am so impressed with the products offered by Slimpressions! After experiencing what each one did for improving the shape of my body and making me look 10 pounds lighter in my clothes, I am truly sold on this product line.

On a hot humid sultry summer day there are two things you want, to be comfortable & at the same time to look fabulous, right? Well, on my hunt to find some really cool, sexy, hip summer clothes I came across ERGE Designs and it was love at first sight with almost everything that I saw! But the love affair does not stop visually, because the clothes are rendered in the lightest, softest most

I discovered Archive Jewelry after noticing a few pieces from this line in People Magazine. I have always been drawn to vintage inspired jewelry so this line of jewelry caught my eye right away and I am quite smitten with it. I am thrilled to be able to introduce this exceptional line of jewelry to those of you who may not be familiar with it, and include this review in my Sizzling Summer 2010

You know how sometimes you try one skin care product from a company and you find you like it, so you buy more to try from the same company only to find they were not effective for you at all. And you think to yourself, was that one product I liked a "one hit wonder"?? Then you want to kick yourself for wasting your money on all the other products......Yup, we have all been there before!

Some of you may or may not know this about me, but I am a real health fanatic! I am one of the pickiest people I know about what food I will eat or allow my family to eat. We rarely keep any junk food or sweets in the house, only if we are expecting company or it is a holiday or special occasion. Because we seldom eat candy, cookies, chips, fritos, you know those kinds of foods, we don't miss it,

I am a kid at heart. I love to run around outside barefoot in the grass, it makes me feel carefree, alive and young! But as an adult I have the wisdom to know that it can be dangerous running around outside without any shoes on, and I have experienced on many occasions over the years stepping on OH THINGS LIKE bees, glass and nails, OUCH! Or how about those "SHOES REQUIRED" signs you see

Flipping through the pages of Life & Style Weekly is one of my favorite guilty pleasures! I always find really fabulous clothes and jewelry lines that I want to introduce to my readers and also to incorporate into my own wardrobe. So one day back in March I stumbled upon some really "hot" jeans from Mike Lanes Premium Denim that really caught my eye and I am so thrilled to be able to introduce

One of my very favorite things about the warm weather and Summer Season is being able to wear really cute sandals and being able to show off my pedicures! All winter long I wear heavy socks and boots so by the time Spring and Summer rolls along I am so ready to put some adorable sandals to feel carefree, sexy and flirty in! Now I ask, how many times have you you purchased the most darling pair

One thing most of you don't know about me is that I am a bit of a shapewear addict! Okay, my secret is out......and I am okay with admitting that I am obsessed with looking as slim and slender as I possibly can and I don't mind wearing under garments that are going to suck it all in and make me look sleek and smooth in all my clothes. So imagine my sheer excitement and joy when I learned about

Hi friends!I wanted to fill everyone in on why I have not been blogging, posting, tweeting, facebooking, etc. this week. Last Saturday morning my Dad became very ill, severe stomach pains and lots of bleeding. He was rushed to the hospital and to be frank, we almost lost him Saturday night. He is under the best possible care he can get, we have a wonderful GI Team at Strong Memorial Hospital

The warm Summer weather is almost here. For me it is all about feeling carefree, happy go lucky and energized.
