Like many women, I am one who desires my accessories to be an extension of my personality with them also being stylish, unique and functional. I have walked into the mall numerous times over the years in search of the perfect purse or wallet only to walk out with something that is functional but very plain and “blah”. I have found that most stores have a very limited selection with colours and styles that are extremely bland. Now, thanks to BuzzLush those days are over! It is time to toss out those plain jane accessories and place an order at BuzzLush.

They even have the prettiest scarves to complete your outfit and give it that extra bit of oomph. Once you look around BuzzLush you will see the amazing selection of products perfect for you or for any woman lucky enough to be on your gift giving list. The selections at BuzzLush are endless, you can choose the most adorable purse and then match it up with the same style of wallet, change purse or makeup bag (I love that idea). All of the handbags, wallets, passport holders and luggage tags are made of Vegan Leather which is durable and will not crack in cold weather. If you are looking for a laptop, iPad, eReader or iPhone case you do not have to look any further, BuzzLush offers the most incredible selection to dress up your gear.


I was lucky enough to receive the Dragonfly — Shagwear Wallet — (Blue on Black) to review and I absolutely fell in love with it!! This wallet is not big or bulky and it fits nicely in my purse. The flowers are pretty and vibrant with the embellishments making it stand out just a little bit more. All of my cards, money, coupons receipts fit perfectly in it and I now look forward to taking the wallet out of my purse when having to pay for a purchase somewhere. The compliments on this wallet are simply endless!!

There is a flat rate on shipping of only $7.00 and if you spend over $99.00 the shipping is free (Canada & USA). Also available are gift cards in increments of $20.00, that makes gift giving even easier. Make sure you join up for the BuzzLush newsletter to keep up to date on upcoming products and promos!!


All of these fashionable items can be purchased online at BuzzLush!

Sibu Beauty is a very wonderful company that makes luxurious natural skin cleansers, moisturizers, other topical treatments and dietary supplements that beautify and protect you. The Sibu Beauty products are made from Himalayan sea buckthorn berry which is also known as the “beauty berry”. Sea buckthorn contains over 190 bioactive compounds that help to restore, revitalize and protect youthful beauty…from the inside-out and outside-in. These berries help to nourish skin, hair, nails and also even aid in digestion with powerful antioxidants, essential fatty acids and Omega 7
Sibu Beauty was kind enough to send some products to review:
Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil
–Quick acting/readily absorbed
–For all skin-types
–Helps diminish wrinkles/age-spots
–Promotes skin recovery and healing
–10 ml bottle w/ dropper tip
SibuBeautySeaBuckthorn Balancing Facial Cleanser
–Leaves skin looking and feeling radiant and refreshed
–Removes excess oil and impurities
–Contains micro-particles for a gentle exfoliation
–Great for removing make-up
–Non-foaming gel formula for all skin types
SibuBeautySeaBuckthorn Hydrating Serum
–Promotes youthful skin tone and texture
–Fights age without damaging chemicals
–Brightens complexion and evens out skin tone
–Helps protect against environmental stress
–Naturally stimulates collagen production

I am always lookout for fantastic new products to pamper my skin and my body but also find that my skin is super sensitive and will break out easily if in contact with something that has too many chemicals in it. I used all of the Sibu Beauty products over the period of a month and really have found a difference in how health my skin looks and feels. It did not have any adverse reactions like breakouts or redness when using the Sibu Beauty products. For years I have had a bit of red blotching around my nose and on my cheeks and found that these products have helped reduce that redness.

I used the Sibu Beauty facial cleanser religiously each and every day, it is not harsh, rough on my skin and does not feel dried out after, like I find many cleansers to be. In the evening I would use the Sibu Beauty Hydrating Serum on my face and neck. This product is not oily or heavy I loved the way it felt on my skin after using it. In the mornings I would use the daytime facial cleanser and let it soak in before applying my makeup. I like that it hydrates and moisturizes my skin and keeps it feeling that way all day long. All in all though, using these products together has made a noticeable difference, my skin is feeling so much healthier, the blotchy redness has been reduced and my skin feels so much softer. I would recommend these Sibu Beauty products for anyone who wants to beautify and protect their skin.

BIC® Soleil® Fitness Expert shares her tips and tricks on
how to confidently get bathing suit ready
Summer is just around the corner and Canadian women are getting their bodies ready by making sure that their legs are in flawlessly smooth shape and making sure their bikini area is trimmed so that they feel their best for swimsuit season. A recent survey of female adults by BIC® Soleil® — an industry leader and innovator for developing premium disposable shavers that meet the needs of women – reveals that nearly 50% of Canadian women hate bathing suit shopping (only 7% said they loved bathing suit shopping).* To help women transition into the new season AND into bathing suits with confidence, BIC® Soleil® has introduced its new BIC® Soleil® Shave and Trim, the first 2-in-1 disposable shaver that allows women to groom all body parts, including the most sensitive spots, with one product.

“It’s no surprise that shopping for a bathing suit is an unpleasant experience for many women,” says Allison Ethier, Canadian Fitness Champion, Nutrition Consultant and Model. “As someone who spends a lot of time competing and being judged in a bathing suit, I know how important it is to feel confident when showing so much skin.”
Allison has partnered with BIC® Soleil® Shave and Trim to encourage all Canadian women to celebrate self-confidence and set their bathing suit bodies free for the summer.
“It’s all about picking the right bathing suit that works with your body type,” says Allison. “Pair the right bathing suit with sleek legs and a smooth bikini area and you will instantly feel more confident.”

Body Type #1: Straight
“Straight with very few curves, this body type is small all over and needs a swimsuit to add volume and curves to the waist, butt and hips. Great one piece options include cut-out sides, strapless with ruching at the top and moulded cups or inserts for added lift. For bikinis, look for a halter or V-shaped top and a bottom with fun side ties to add volume to the hips.”
Body Type #2: Pear Shape
“Pear shape body types have an overall smaller upper body and are larger on the bottom. To add balance and create a more symmetrical shape, ‘pin-up girl’ style one-piece swimsuits are a fantastic option; look for something with a plunging neckline or ruffles around the top to draw the eye upward. For two-piece swimsuits, a skirt-style bottom works well with a top of the same colour. Go for a darker shade for a slimming effect!”
Body Type #3: Curvy/Hourglass
“Curvy/hourglass shaped women are generally looking for support and coverage in a bathing suit. Try to avoid one-piece suits altogether as this tends to create a boxy look. Go for a top that has seaming under the bust; V-shape, halter or one-shoulder are all great options for added support. Darker bottoms in a solid colour or small pattern work well to balance out the figure.”
Body Type #4: Athletic
“For women with an athletic shape, look for a swimsuit that has more feminine cuts and details to balance out a less curvy figure. Anything with ruching, detail, and tapered bottoms in the back will give a curvier appearance.”
Body Type #5: Apple Shape
“Apple shaped women tend to hold weight in the mid-section, with thinner arms and legs. To add definition to the waist, a one-piece swimsuit with a cute belt is a great option. Also try colour blocking on the sides, which creates the look of a more defined waist. For two-piece suits, try a halter or deep V shape to bring the eye upward, with an empire bottom to accentuate the waistline.”

Innovation Now in a Women’s Shaver
When it comes to grooming the bikini area, almost half of Canadian women between the ages of 18–34 surveyed said that they often experience skin irritation and redness. Using a shaver that has a bikini area trimmer is an excellent tool to trim the area with better precision and less irritation.
- Three flexible blades and a pivoting head for a flawlessly smooth shave
- Lubricating strip with Vitamin E, for a silky smooth shave
- Slide-on/slide-off trimmer head for safe, simple and easy bikini trimming that allows just the right length
- Pivoting head with rubber grip for ultimate comfort
BIC® Soleil® Shave & Trim is available at most major drug stores and mass merchants across Canada ($6.98 — $9.99).
About BIC Inc.
BIC Inc. (Canada) is a subsidiary of BIC Corporation (www.bicworld.com), a leading distributor of stationery products, lighters and shavers. Since its founding more than 50 years ago, BIC has honored the tradition of providing high-quality, affordable products to consumers everywhere.

Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada and AbbVie Corporation Awarding Scholarships to Empower Seven Incredible Youth with IBD

Nominations now being accepted for Second Annual Scholarship Program that rewards remarkable students living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
Canada has one of the highest reported prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the world and 20–30% of people with IBD are diagnosed before the age of 20*. To support Canadian students living with IBD and raise awareness about this chronic disease, the AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program is accepting nominations from young people living with IBD.
In partnership with the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC), the AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program is designed to award students who are living well with IBD, and strive to sustain an optimal level of wellness allowing them to excel while inspiring others to do the same. Through an unrestricted educational grant by AbbVie, CCFC will extend seven (7) one-time scholarships of up to $5,000 CAN to students living with IBD who are entering into or are currently attending a post-secondary educational institution. Students of all ages are welcome to apply and the scholarship can be used for any Canadian post-secondary institution. “I am committed to living each day to the fullest and I’m so grateful to the CCFC and AbbVie for giving me the opportunity and inspiration to push harder and help me excel at my academic goals,” says Clinton Shard, one of seven (7) 2012 “gutsy” scholarship winners. “While the monetary scholarship provides an incentive, it also represents an investment in assisting students living with IBD and helping us achieve our dreams.”
Through initiatives such as the scholarship program, AbbVie aims to continue accelerating the recognition of the burden of IBD and help further the global dissemination of evolving approaches to better care for people living with IBD.
“AbbVie is proud to partner again this year with CCFC for the AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program. This initiative is a great example of a partnership that makes a difference in people’s lives,” states Felipe Pastrana, General Manager of AbbVie Canada. “While our name, AbbVie, has changed – our commitment to the IBD community endures. Over the years, AbbVie has shown continued commitment to people living with IBD by helping organizations and health care providers alike better understand the impact of these diseases on people’s lives. AbbVie recognizes the need for better disease diagnosis and monitoring to help improve the lives of millions of people affected by this chronic and debilitating disease.” IBD Incidence Rates on the Rise Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, is a group of disorders that causes the intestines to become inflamed and ulcerated. This is caused by an abnormal response of the body’s immune system.
A recent survey conducted by the CCFC found that 69 percent of people who had IBD when they were young were delayed in completing their post-secondary education. 89 percent who had IBD as a child felt that they could have achieved more at school without their disease. Since there is currently no known cure or cause, young people need strategies to achieve their best long-term health despite their diagnosis.
Unfortunately, a majority of people living with IBD endure many challenges when it comes to their education. With intensive medical treatments, debilitating symptoms and lengthy hospital stays, keeping up with school can become extremely difficult.
“Due to the isolating nature of the disease, people living with IBD too often miss out on the great life experiences many of us take for granted, including completing their education,” says Dr. Kevin Glasgow, CCFC’s Chief Executive Officer. “The AbbVie IBD Scholarship was born of the desire to support students with Crohn’s and colitis and help empower them to continue their education and excel to their fullest potential. Our challenge is to find more youth like Clinton who are speaking out to help reduce the stigma associated with digestive disease. By telling their stories through the AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program, we know we can inspire many others to do the same at a time when advancing public understanding of IBD is needed most.”
The AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program – The A, B, C’s The AbbVie IBD Scholarship Program, in partnership with CCFC, is designed for applicants of any age entering into or attending a Canadian-based post-secondary institution. Applicants must be:
· A legal and permanent resident of Canada;
· Diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease by a physician;
· Seeking an associate’s, undergraduate, or graduate degree from a Canadian university; college; or enrolled in a trade school educational program;
· Enrolled in or awaiting acceptance from a Canadian-based post-educational institution for the Fall semester of 2013; and
· A student who demonstrates academic aspiration and strives to sustain an optimal level of wellness in spite of their IBD, allowing them to excel to reach their personal and academic goals and inspiring others to do the same. Visit www.ccfc.ca<http://www.ccfc.ca> for full application details.
About CCFC:
· The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC) is a volunteer-based registered charity dedicated to finding the cure for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and improving the lives of children and adults affected by these chronic diseases. To date, the CCFC has invested more than $76 million in research, making the foundation a world leader in non-governmental funding of IBD research.
· Canadian researchers funded by CCFC are conducting cutting edge research and are sustaining the hope for a cure worldwide.

After recently connecting with Brother Canada, I was astonished to see such an extensive lineup of awesome products that they actually sell!
When I thought of Brother Canada, I actually thought of sewing machines right off the hop, and was not oblivious to the fact that they sell phenomenal sewing machines as well as awesome office machines!
One thing that I did not know was that Brother Canada also carries a phenomenal lineup of typewriters, fax machines, labellers, scanners, and even the best Business Smart printers!!

Brother Canada and designer Samantha Pynn are on a mission to help Canadians fall in love with their home offices again and create spaces that are both stylish and functional. Home offices are often neglected spaces – filled with clutter, mismatched furniture and bad lighting – but it doesn’t have to be that way! Using some simple design techniques and Brother’s office equipment solutions, like the small and sleek Business Smart inkjet all-in-ones, the home office can be transformed into a welcoming space that is also a productive place to work.
“People who work from home get the luxury of being able to design, style and create their workspace based on their own personal style,” said Samantha Pynn, expert interior decorator, stylist, and host on HGTV Canada. “As we all look to maximize every hour of every day, it’s time to reinvigorate our home offices to create not only stylish spaces but more productive, functional and efficient ones.”
Canadians want to spruce up their home offices. According to a new Vision Critical national survey* commissioned by Brother Canada, 82 per cent of men and women surveyed who work from home say they do invest time, effort and resources into making their home office look stylish and appealing – but 20 per cent are still struggling to create a space that reflects their own style and personality and eight per cent work out of any place at home that is available and convenient at the time.
According to Pynn, there are a few simple techniques we can use to freshen up our home offices, which is important as 40 per cent of people surveyed say they plan on meeting with clients and colleagues at their home office: • Incorporate furniture pieces that seamlessly fit with your existing décor – don’t be limited by traditional office furniture
• Use brightly coloured area rugs to create a defined space that’s all your own
• Brighten up your workspace with table lamps and non-fluorescent over-head lighting
• Use decorative trays to store office essentials and equipment like staplers, tape dispensers, pens and paper to create elegant and functional groupings
With one third (34 per cent) of employed Canadians working from home at least once a month, the survey also discovered these workers’ unique technology needs:
- 82 per cent of respondents ranked printers as a very important piece of home office equipment – following only laptops (86 per cent) and well ahead of items like smartphones (40 per cent) and tablets (12 per cent)
- 93 per cent of those polled agree that having the right office equipment and technology is required to be productive
“The survey tells us that people who work from home have really different needs in terms of technology,” adds Pynn. “One of the greatest ways to create both stylish and productive home offices is with the new Business Smart inkjet all-in-one printers by Brother Canada. With these all-in-ones you won’t have to give up precious workspace or style as they feature a sleek design that is perfect for smaller, modern workspaces and the home office.”
The Business Smart Series is now available at Staples ($199.99 for the MFC-J4510DW and $249.99 for the MFC-J4710DW), Future Shop ($189.99 for the MFC-J4410DW) and Best Buy ($189.99 for the MFC-J4410DW). The MFC-J4610DW model will also be available at other online retailers.

I was sent an awesome All-in-One Multi-Function Center from Brother Canada’s Smart Business Machines Series and it rocks!!
Brother took a huge step forward with the MFC-J4510DW all-in-one inkjet printer. Where previous models delivered basic features and plain hardware designs that felt far behind the competition, this brand spanking new office friendly setup deserves its “future-proof” descriptor with Web-connected features like cloud printing compatibility by way of Apple AirPrint, a 3.7-inch capacitive touch-screen display, and Wi-Fi connectivity. While its 150-sheet paper input capacity limits its usability for large teams, its fresh and stylish design and very generous 2 year warranty earns this phenomenal printer extremely high marks and a solid recommendation for personal offices and small workgroups all over the world!

Product Details:
Perfect for printing, copying, scanning and faxing up to 11” x 17” (Ledger Size) documents.
•Print, Copy, Scan and Fax

Hubby and I test this baby out today and we did everything imaginable! We printed, scanned, faxed, copied, you name it, we tried it out! I love the look of it, it makes my small home office look so professional and sharp! The Brother Canada’s Smart Business Machines All-in-One Multi-Function Center is the absolute best all-in-one printer that I have EVER owned, no word of a lie.
The MFC-J4510DW BUSINESS WIRELESS COLOUR INKJET 5-IN-1 printer gets a huge thumbs up from CoolCanucks, and I recommend that everyone own one! You won’t be sorry!!
