CoolCanucks Review of the Tea Galllerie!
Thursday, June 13th, 2013
Being huge tea drinkers at my house as well as at my parents, I just knew that I had to try all of the huge assortment of teas that Tea Gallerie carries! After coming across their website, my eyes literally popped when I saw many different mouthwatering flavors that I have never tried before!!
I was sent two delicious teas to sample, and as expected, they tasted just as good as described! I received one package in Passionfruit Black, as well as White Coconut Crème! My mother and I had a field-day experimenting with these 2 scrumptious flavors! Also, the packaging is so pretty, just like on their website!
At Tea Gallerie, you will find the best tea ever! They offer so many varieties of yummy teas that you can try for yourself, or even offer as gifts for your family and friends! Almost everyone that I know is a tea-lover, and now I have the perfect gift in mind for that person on my hard to buy for list!!
Choose from:
mate, dessert, oolong, black, green, white, herbal, pu-erh, Tea For Pregnancy, Tea For Her, Tea For Him, TEA SWEETS, TEAWARE, TEAPOT
And even choose from a gorgeous array of tea gifts to splurge on yourself, or for a gift to give to someone dear to you on that special occasion!!
You just cannot go wrong when shopping at the Tea Gallerie. Their prices are very reasonable, their customer service skills are phenomenal, and their delivery time was also beyond outstanding!

CoolCanuck Blog Contest ~ Sibu Beauty Review!!
Friday, June 7th, 2013
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:
–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.

Step Into Summer AND Your Bathing Suit with Confidence!
Friday, June 7th, 2013
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).
