Classified Cosmetics ERA Everyday Spray On Foundation | Urban Chic Boutique

July 29, 2010

I was recently introduced to one of the coolest makeup products that I have seen in a long time. Oh, and don’t let my term ‘coolest’ age me, ’cause I really do feel like a giddy teen over this product. It’s called Classified Cosmetics ERA Everyday Spray On Foundation, and apparently it’s been on the market for a while. This upsets me a little since I only learned of it recently, but I am so thankful for the trendy online shop Urban Chic Boutique for the great introduction. Airbrush? Foundation? What is it? It’s foundation, ladies, but in an aerosol [...]

I was just a toddler when Terry Fox set out on a mission to run across Canada to raise money to fight Cancer with his Marathon Of Hope, yet I know the story well. Terry Fox was diagnosed with bone Cancer at age 18, and only days after diagnosis his leg was amputated, and he wore a leg prosthesis. Being active and athletic his whole life, he was walking and running only a couple of months after he got his prosthesis. Terry Fox set out on the Eastern Coast, with only a few witnesses seeing him off on his journey. [...]

If any of you have little girls, you’ll know that the hairclip industry is one that has just exploded these past couple of years. Unless you knew a crafty person that could make you some, before you could only find standard plastic hairclips in box/chain stores. And standard the designs were, lacking both in uniqueness and representation of fashion. Yet, as I said, today there are many brands online and found in select stores, that cater to accessorizing the hair of young girls. As a product reviewer, I have been able to sample many brands, yet there is one that [...]

Zuvo Water Filtration System | Review and Giveaway

I think most people prefer not to drink water from their kitchen sink. Regardless of time of year, mine just doesn’t taste right. We have a water cooler in the house, yet I have realized that it’s actually quite expensive to own {filters, cleaning, refills on the water containers}. As well, I have been really trying to maximize space in our house, and my water cooler takes up a ton of room that I could use. Another thought is the safety aspect. I often think of how easy it would be for the Twins to tip the cooler, and all [...]

Summertime for any family means a jam-packed schedule. It seems everyday we are running from one event and one trip to another. And, when the summer temperature peaks, the last thing I want to be doing is preparing supper and cooking in a warm house. This motivated me to learn how to BBQ for the first time, yes – really. But, there are those days when there simply isn’t enough time to cook a healthy meal, and I frantically search for alternatives other than settling on fast food and takeout. I was recently introduced to Healthy Choice Gourmet Steamers, and [...]

ShooShoos has been a regular feature on My Organized Chaos over the past couple of years. And, they are a regular brand of footwear seen on my Twins feet since they were born, as well. I adored their soft soled shoes when they were babies, and now they sport the ShooShoos with the flexible rubber sole {and the cute smily face on the soles}. You will see me posting about ShooShoos more often this year, as I am joining 7 other bloggers as official ShooShoos Mom’s! {this opportunity offers you many chances for you to win a pair too!} For [...]

Thumbnail image for My Living Stories iTunes Apps Review & $25 iTunes Gift Card Giveaway

I recently just got an iPhone, and it’s been really fun seeking out great apps for myself and the kids. I cannot believe all there is out there! I have realized how handy kids’ apps are for those times when you need a good distraction. Running late for dinner, long waits at the doctors’ office, or just hearing ‘I’m Bored!’ while trying to get some grocery shopping done. Yep, kids’ apps have become quite the lifesaver for me. Alas, it is true that there is an app for everything, so it’s always nice to get some suggestions on recommended ones, [...]

Pop Weaver Microwave Popcorn Offers A Healthier Snacking Choice

Thumbnail image for Pop Weaver Microwave Popcorn Offers A Healthier Snacking Choice

When choosing microwave popcorn, I am always torn between the buttery movie taste and the healthy varieties. For my own taste, there was no healthy option that wasn’t bland and boring. I recently got to try the all new microwave popcorn made from Pop Weaver – and now I don’t have to sacrifice taste for a smart and healthy choice! Other brands use Palm Oil, which is so high in saturated fat. As well. Palm Oil also contributes to deforestation in tropical areas, and importing it uses a lot of fuel. Pop Weaver just introduced the first-ever microwave popcorn made [...]

Sesame Street: 40 Years of Sunny Days on DVD

I grew up watching Sesame Street, learning, singing and laughing with Big Bird, Grover, Kermit and the whole gang. And, I’m happy that that Sesame Street is still on TV and my kids love to watch it, since it’s a huge bonus if a childrens’ program doesn’t cause a headache! Yet, I can’t help but to watch today’s episodes and think back to the way ‘it used to be’, with previous actors and skits. As great as the new episodes are, there’s that admiration for the old shows that parents all recall and adore. Given this, can you imagine how [...]
