CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Konvine foldable ballerina flats and flip flops Review & Giveaway!!

Sunday, May 20th, 2012

 

 

 

Kon­vine — a fab­u­lous new rol­lable bal­let flat line — has cre­ated a basic bal­let flat to save us ladies from aching arches after a night out in heels.

If you love heels, then you will adore Kon­vine, the super cute, super com­pact, rol­lable bal­let flats that can fit in a small clutch.
Kon­vines are defi­nately a must-have acces­sory for every purse, travel kit, and desk drawer. Any­where you might want to swap your heels for a cute, comfy alter­na­tive is the per­fect place to keep your Kon­vines!

 

 

 

 

Kon­vine fold­able bal­le­rina flats and flip flops come in an exten­sive array of designs and colours. You can cer­tainly find a pair to match each of your out­fits, and they all come in sizes small to XL!

Each pair comes in a small pretty pouch and includes a draw­string tote to carry your heels.

 

 

 

 

There’s noth­ing that could ruin your mood more than a night out on the town in the wrong shoes. Each step is painful, and you can’t wait to kick them off at home and mas­sage your bruised and abused feet. I’ve learned to become the queen of fast fix foot issues; car­ry­ing around every­thing from band-aids to med­ical tape, blis­ter block, etc, and usu­ally a pair of flats or flip-flops can be found in my enor­mous bag. I recently dis­cov­ered the brand Kon­vine, which makes hav­ing a life con­stantly on the go, and a lot of walk­ing involved, so much eas­ier. The rol­lable bal­let flats style shoes come in gor­geous colours, and have a flex­i­ble sole that neatly rolls up and can be placed in even a small hand­bag or clutch. The shoes have a nice sheen to them that makes them the per­fect flat to slip into after a wed­ding or for­mal occa­sion. You bet­ter believe that I will have these in my bag from now on! The best part? You can stock up for your­self or buy them for friends since they are incred­i­bly affordable!!

 

 

 

Pic­ture this:

 

It’s Fri­day night and you’re head­ing out on the town with your friends. You’ve got on your cutest out­fit and a killer pair of heels – you’re all set for a night of seri­ous bar hopping.

 

Unfor­tu­nately, when you’re get­ting ready to leave the sec­ond bar you real­ize that you no longer have the abil­ity to walk. Your bal­ance is already a lit­tle thrown off by the amount of heavy drink­ing you’ve been doing, and now you have to walk in 6-inch stilet­tos? No thanks. That stool you’re perched on will be just fine for the rest of the night, thank you very much.

 

You con­tinue order­ing drinks until the wee hours when you’re friends are finally ready to head home. You care­fully step onto the side­walk and within 5 min­utes decide there is NO way you are walk­ing home in those shoes. Fueled by all the alco­hol you have con­sumed, you decide that you’re going to take off your shoes and walk home bare­foot through the city. Classy. Oh yes, I have done it folks!! LOL

 

Does this sound like a typ­i­cal night to you? Per­haps you should invest in a pair of Kon­vine rol­lable bal­let flats. I’ve been there, done that! Not a pretty site!

 

 

 

 

I was sent a pair to review, and I love them so much!! They were just as comfy as I imag­ined, and now have these babies in my purse for my next out­ing where my feet will start to ache after a night in those dreaded heels. The pair that I was blessed to receive was the newest style called Snake­skin Roll-Ups With Heart. The pic­tures on their web­site just don’t do these shoes jus­tice! They are so pretty up close and in per­son! I was impressed with the colour and style of my new Kon­vine fold­able bal­le­rina flats, and believe me, I know that you will be too!!

 

 

“A sleek flat always adds an effort­less look to your out­fits and these snake­skin Kon­vines can vir­tu­ally be coor­di­nated with any­thing! This dar­ing print, along with the fem­i­nine heart rhine­stone, can kick anyone’s attire up a notch up. These slightly shiny slip-ons are com­fort­able and on-trend matched with a striped tee and jean shorts or pos­si­bly even paired with a pen­cil skirt to keep things classy and chic in the office!”

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Eliz­a­beth Grant Biocollasis Complex Advanced Cellular Age Defense Night Cream Review & Giveaway!!

Saturday, May 19th, 2012

 

 

Eliz­a­beth Grant Skin Care prod­ucts have found their merry way into the clutches of some of Hollywood’s most pam­pered Diva’s!! As the say­ing goes among Hollywood’s actors: ‘If you’re the cream, you’ll rise to the top”.

Eliz­a­beth Grant is a lux­ury skin­care & beauty line based out of Toronto Canada, with an amaz­ing fan base in Europe — and they are now becom­ing huge in Amer­ica! They have been raved about by many celebri­ties such as Jen­nifer Lopez (who was quoted in Life & Style as say­ing that the Eliz­a­beth Grant “Caviar Eye Pads” were her mommy-must-have prod­ucts for tired eyes!!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As many of you already know, — lifestyle, diet, expo­sure to the sun, envi­ron­men­tal tox­ins, hor­mones, stress, and genetic imprint can all lead to pre­ma­ture aging over time. Eliz­a­beth Grant age Defense prod­ucts pro­vide seri­ous solu­tions to help reju­ve­nate your skin while also pro­tect­ing it from fur­ther dam­age. To put your best face for­ward, their proven purest of nat­ural ingre­di­ents nour­ish and feed the struc­ture func­tion of the skin. You can reveal a vis­i­bly younger you in just a short amount of time with a con­sis­tent reg­i­men of Eliz­a­beth Grant’s excep­tional, restora­tive age defense for­mu­las. Their com­pre­hen­sive approach actu­ally sup­ports and enhances the weak­ened infra­struc­ture of your skin while also leav­ing it look­ing and feel­ing soft and sup­ple, all while defend­ing your skin against the vis­i­ble effects of aging.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eliz­a­beth Grant did not always have the flaw­less skin that she has today. Dam­aged dur­ing the Sec­ond World War, her skin was a con­stant source of per­sonal shame and embar­rass­ment — to the point where she avoided going out in pub­lic and liv­ing her life fully.
All of that changed in 1948 when Eliz­a­beth dis­cov­ered a nat­ural sub­stance that was used to treat war wounds. She had it spe­cially for­mu­lated with other ingre­di­ents and began apply­ing it to her dam­aged skin. Grad­u­ally, but very notice­ably, the trans­for­ma­tion occurred. Within eight months, Elizabeth’s skin had improved remark­ably. She threw away the dark glasses and droop­ing hats that she wore when­ever she went out in public…and started liv­ing again!
On the strength of her mir­a­cle blend, Tor­ricel­umn™, and her own deter­mi­na­tion and per­se­ver­ance, Eliz­a­beth evolved the com­pany from a home-based busi­ness to a multi-million dol­lar global cor­po­ra­tion. For­merly avail­able by spe­cial order only, the Eliz­a­beth Grant line of skin care and beauty prod­ucts is now avail­able at select retail loca­tions in Canada, United States, United King­dom, Nether­lands, Ger­many, United Arab Emi­rates, South Africa, Aus­tralia, Japan and Poland!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was really excited when I knew that I would be both review­ing and giv­ing away Eliz­a­beth Grant’s hottest sell­ing age defense night creme called Bio­col­la­sis Com­plex Advanced Cel­lu­lar Age Defense Night Creme!

 

 

Those who have con­tin­ued to read my blog for the past three years know that I am always in search of the best anti-aging prod­ucts that are just right for me. Being in my early 40’s takes a lot of get­ting used to, con­sid­er­ing it feels like only yes­ter­day since I was 20 and did not have to con­stantly worry about unsightly wrin­kles and crows feet, not to men­tion the other dreaded effects that come with aging! I always try and take care of my body, and that includes keep­ing my skin look­ing young and vibrant. I try and main­tain that youth­ful glow, and don’t have the huge bank account unlike so many famous celebs who rely on painful surgery to keep their skin wrinkle-free. Why pay thou­sands of dol­lars on surgery that may not even work out in your ben­e­fit when you can def­i­nitely rely on the best anti-aging prod­ucts such as those at Elizabeth Grant?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In just 1 weeks time of con­tin­u­ous usage of the Bio­col­la­sis Com­plex Advanced Cel­lu­lar Age Defense Night Cream, I can absolutely assure you in com­plete hon­estly that I have noticed a huge dif­fer­ence and reduc­tion of wrin­kles and fine lines on the outer eye area and cheeks! I am hon­estly sold on this prod­uct and will be order­ing much more once this runs empty! I can­not wait to see what my face looks like in one month’s time, how exciting!!

 

 

 

This night cream uses inno­v­a­tive tech­nol­ogy stim­u­lat­ing the sur­face of the skin with a dual per­for­mance action– lift­ing and smooth­ing.
Night after night the skin recharges its nat­ural self-repairing process regain­ing its resilience and inter­nal strength. Elas­tic­ity returns. The skin looks firmer . Lines dimin­ish in appear­ance and the skin looks smoother. Wake up to a skin recharged with vital­ity and exquis­itely indulged. Cel­e­brate the birth of younger look­ing skin.”

 

 

 

HOW TO USE

 

 

Pat 1–3 spat­ula scoops gen­tly all over face and neck every evening after cleans­ing and apply­ing Bio­col­la­sis™ Com­plex Night Serum. Avoid the eye area.
Tech­nol­ogy
• Tor­ricel­umn™ – Eliz­a­beth Grant’s supe­rior mois­tur­iz­ing com­pound.
• 20 nat­ural extracts, vit­a­mins and enzymes to help repair the skin from the dam­ag­ing effects of pol­lu­tion.
• Pep­tides – help recre­ate con­di­tions con­ducive to skin repair, cell and matrix turnover.
• Syn®-Ake – anti-wrinkle com­pound that decreases the appear­ance of expres­sion lines. In vivo test­ing showed an impres­sive reduc­tion of over 50% in wrin­kle size after 28 days. Clin­i­cal stud­ies:
• 86% skin felt firmer
• 87% improved elas­tic­ity
• 92% wrin­kle reduction”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just know that you will love these anti-aging creams as well, they hon­estly beat any other that I have tried! I give Eliz­a­beth Grant a huge thumbs up, and rec­om­mend these won­der­ful skin­care prod­ucts to everyone!!

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Green Tangerine Review & Giveaway!!

Saturday, May 19th, 2012

 

 

Green Tan­ger­ine is one of my newest dis­cov­er­ies and I am so happy that I found this amaz­ing online store. The owner very kindly sent me a wide vari­ety of prod­ucts to try out and review for the won­der­ful read­ers at CoolCanucks.

 

 

Green Tan­ger­ine is a Cana­dian online store based in Hamp­ton, Ontario Canada that sells  all kinds of lotions, balms, bath prod­ucts and body fra­grances in a wide array of deca­dent fra­grances that are sure to tan­ta­lize your senses. I really like that the ingre­di­ents for the Green Tan­gerine prod­ucts are nat­ural, envi­ron­men­tally friendly and handcrafted.

 

 

I received 4 prod­ucts to review

Sat­suma Guava Body Lotion:   I was very impressed with this body lotion. I decided to bring this one to work so that some of my cowork­ers could try it is as well and they were as impressed as I was with this prod­uct. The fra­grance is not heavy or over­whelm­ing. When applies it is light and eas­ily absorbed. My hands did not have an oily or greasy residue after apply­ing and left my hands feel­ing soft and smooth. I am totally hooked on this lotion and the scent!

 

Sat­suma Guava Body But­ter: I really loved using this prod­uct after I got out of the shower every morn­ing and I applied it all over my body. The refresh­ing orange scent was per­fect to perk me up first thing in the morn­ing which is always a good thing. The fra­grance just like the body lotion is not over­whelm­ing and it left my skin feel­ing soft and silky smooth.

 

Sat­suma Guava Body Spray: I found this body spray to be rather unique from any other that I have ever tried. The same scent as the other two prod­ucts which made it per­fect for lay­er­ing and have the fra­grance last for hours. The mist from the spray bot­tle is very fine so you do not have to worry about apply­ing too much. The body spray is made with a fra­grance oil and feels won­der­ful on your when applied

Pink Sugar Roller Per­fume: I love scents that remind me of sweet food and this one really fits the bill. The pink sugar fra­grance smells so yummy that it is almost good enough to eat. I also really like that the per­fume roller is small enough so you can stick it in your purse and take it with you every­where. Always handy when you want to pick me up and want to smell good!

 

Here is a com­plete list of the fra­grances offered…one to suit every mood or occasion!

 

Pink Sugar
A slightly sweet scent with vanilla undertones. Very pop­u­lar with the teens!

Coconut Lime Ver­bena
A very fresh scent of lime and ver­bena with just a hint of coconut.

Laven­der
Always a favourite with young and old. Rem­i­nis­cent of old Eng­lish gardens.

Melon Mad­ness
A fresh fra­grance sim­i­lar to Bath and Body Works Cucum­ber Melon

Vanilla San­dal­wood
San­dal­wood and vanilla com­bined, giv­ing this scent a very grown up seduc­tive fragrance.

Lilac
No chem­i­cal under­tone here, smells like lilacs just picked off the tree. Enjoy Spring all year round.

Bartlett Pear
A very fresh light fra­grance has the hint of sweet­ness of a fresh ripened pear.

Sat­suma Guava
An all time cus­tomer favourite cit­rusy sat­suma scent, very unisex.

White Tea and Gin­ger
A new favourite. White tea mixed with a sub­tle gin­ger. A very orig­i­nal scent with just enough zip.

 

 

Angela from Green Tan­ger­ine has also offered a very spe­cial bonus to our Cool­Canucks read­ers who place an online order. If you place an order you will receive a lip balm free of charge! Once the order has been placed send your info in the con­tact tab of the site with your order info, let her know that you are order­ing via the Cool­Canucks review and the flavour of lip balm you would like.

 

Green Tan­ger­ine has gra­ciously offered to give away the same items that I was able to review to one lucky Cool­Canucks reader and I hope that you love each and every one as much as I do!!

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Rubbermaid New LunchBlox™ Containers Review & Giveaway!!

Friday, May 18th, 2012

 

 

 

I don’t know about you, but I for one hate pack­ing lunches to begin with. And then hav­ing to bring your sand­wiches along with fruits and veg­eta­bles in indi­vid­ual plas­tic bags really sucks! After all, plas­tic bags are on the outs now in our new and much greener world! Land­fills are full and over­flow­ing with plas­tic bags which is extremely sad.

Most par­ents pack lunch items for them­selves, chil­dren, or spouses in single-use plas­tic bags, alu­minum foil, or wax paper. Admit­tedly, these prod­ucts are extremely con­ve­nient, but what is the envi­ron­men­tal cost to a coun­try that relies so heav­ily on them? It is horrible!!

 

For some, it can be hard to imag­ine a world with­out plas­tic – espe­cially plas­tic bags.
The cons of using plas­tic bags are so over­whelm­ing I don’t think I can think of any pros. They are a huge pol­lu­tion prob­lem, their light­weight design allows them to blow away eas­ily. The fact that they are free gives them no value so peo­ple don’t think about how they dis­pose of them. They are made from petro­leum, which could be used for fuel or energy. They don’t biode­grade, instead they break­down and are mis­taken for food and are often eaten by both land and marine ani­mals which is fatal. They are found every­where and many ani­mals become fatally entan­gled.
They are not biodegrad­able, so they will per­sist pretty much for­ever, wher­ever they end up. Land­fills if we are lucky, but because of their wide­spread use and their abil­ity to fly away in the wind, they can be a big part of the trash along roads and fields. If they get into the water, they look like food and end up clog­ging the stom­achs of a vari­ety of ani­mals, most famously sea tur­tles look­ing for jellyfish.

 

 

 

The recy­cling of plas­tic bags, while prefer­able to other dis­posal meth­ods, is not cost-effective. Plas­tic bags have only existed for 25 years yet the bil­lions that have been pro­duced since then have caused immea­sur­able dam­age to the envi­ron­ment and to wildlife. Thank­fully, Rub­ber­maid Canada has recently intro­duced a new lunch stor­age solu­tion that is reusable and BPA Free called the Lunch­Blox™!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As many of you already know, Rub­ber­maid sells the best stor­age con­tain­ers out there. When we think of high qual­ity, rugged and durable stor­age prod­ucts, Rub­ber­maid imme­di­ately comes to mind. These Lunch­Blox™ Con­tain­ers are so handy and are such a con­ve­nient way of pack­ing lunches now! No more using plas­tic bags, or search­ing high and low for con­tain­ers to insert food into! This new Lunch­Blox™ comes in a few dif­fer­ent kits. Choose from: Lunch­Blox™ Sand­wich kit, Lunch­Blox™ Salad Kit, Lunch­Blox™ indi­vid­ual Con­tain­ers, Lunch­Blox™ Lunch Bags, and each kit con­tains an awe­some Lunch­Blox™ Blue Ice pack that you just freeze and reuse! This ice pack sits on the bot­tom of these con­tain­ers just per­fectly and keeps your food chilled which is awesome!

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

These space-saving Lunch­Blox™ con­tain­ers nest nice and eas­ily when not in use. Din­ner left­overs quickly become tomorrow’s lunch. They’re very easy fill, assembly-line style. And clean up is sim­ple with only a cou­ple of pieces to wash. Or bet­ter yet? Throw them eas­ily into the dish­washer as they are Dish­washer, Microwave, and Freezer Safe!

Of course these Lunch­Blox™ Con­tain­ers are BPA-free and are great for pack­ing a waste-free lunch and tak­ing snacks on-the-go safely!!

 

 

 


 

 

 

Tired of soggy sand­wiches and wilted let­tuce for lunch?  Rubbermaid’s new Lunch­Blox con­tain­ers are per­fectly por­tioned to keep every­thing in its place.  They are space effi­cient, easy to use and the snap-in Blue Ice keeps food chilled.”

 

 

 


 

 

 

The new Lunch­Blox™ made from Rub­ber­maid gets a huge thumbs up from Cool­Canucks as Rub­ber­maid never dis­ap­points! Keep your food as fresh and deli­cious as ever!

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Vintage Rose Wraps Review & Giveaway!!

Thursday, May 17th, 2012

 

 

 

Vin­tage Rose Wraps really intrigued me when I ini­tially saw all of the pretty head­bands and belts that they carry!

I for one love ‘girly stuff’, quite unlike some of my friends who pre­fer to dress in sweats and a hoodie most of the time not even both­er­ing to get dressed up like every girl should once in awhile!!

I love to do that often, it makes me feel so young and vibrant! I refuse to be one of those 40 year old moth­ers who have totally let them­selves go appearance-wise after mar­riage and just don’t care what they wear or how they appear to oth­ers. Tak­ing care of your­self, exer­cis­ing reg­u­larly, wear­ing pretty clothes and makeup, are all part of assist­ing to main­tain your youth whether you are 20 or even in your 40’s! They say that you are only as old as you feel, and if you feel old, your appear­ance will make you look old as well as far as I’m concerned.

 

 

 

 

Along with dress­ing up comes those extra added stun­ning acces­sories to give your out­fit a kick! The gor­geous belts, the jewellery, and stun­ning head­bands cer­tainly gives your look an amaz­ing boost! All things woman excite me! The best head­bands can be found at Vin­tage Rose Wraps where two sis­ters Katie and Ginny design these head­bands them­selves with help from 3 other ladies who sew for them! They both love fab­ric and always have a desire to cre­ate! It was so hard choos­ing just 2 head­bands to review as they are all so pretty, and the exten­sive array of designs and colours are endless!!

 

 

 

 

It came down to me choos­ing the “Char­lotte Clas­sic” and “Goes With Every­thing Pais­ley Taupe” head­bands, and wow they absolutely exceeded my expec­ta­tions!! They look so pretty in the pic­tures on the Vin­tage Rose Wraps web­site, but when I opened the pack­age, they were even more beau­ti­ful then antic­i­pated!! Katie and Ginny are really fash­ion­able and truly keep up to date with today’s style!

 

 

 

 

 

I give Vin­tage Rose Wraps a huge thumbs up, and rec­om­mend this phe­nom­e­nal com­pany to everyone!!

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Kicking Horse Coffee Review & Giveaway!!

Wednesday, May 16th, 2012

 

 

 

Located in beau­ti­ful Inver­mere, British Colum­bia, Kick­ing Horse Cof­fee is the #1 rated cof­fee in Canada!

Kick­ing Horse Cof­fee was one of the first 10 com­pa­nies in Canada to sign on with Trans­Fair Canada in 1998 and in 2003 Kick­ing Horse Cof­fee went 100% organic, only pur­chas­ing and roast­ing 100% Cer­ti­fied Organic cof­fee beans. In 2007 they became ded­i­cated to 100% Organic Fair Trade. Kick­ing Horse Cof­fee con­tin­ues to be Canada’s #1 sell­ing Organic Fair Trade which is phenomenal!!

I recently had the oppor­tu­nity to try the best cof­fee ever, and that is was! Kick­ing Horse Cof­fee sent me a can­is­ter of their Kick Ass Cof­fee, and my friends and I totally fell in love! I opened it and I auto­mat­i­cally savored the sweet cof­fee smell prior to it even start­ing to brew!! The tan­ta­liz­ing aroma filled my house with love! And the taste? It was so incred­i­bly deli­cious and had every­one head­ing back for a 2nd cup!!

 

 

 

 

“Roast­ing cof­fee is a sci­ence and an art form. It involves coor­di­nat­ing heat, air flow, time and tech­nique. Kick­ing Horse Cof­fee offers three main types of roasts. Our dark roasts pro­vide a rich, full-bodied, sometimes-chocolaty flavour. Our medium roasts are smooth and well-balanced between acid­ity and body. Our light roasts can be flo­ral, fruity, sweet and rich. They are all worth a taste.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kick­ing Horse Cof­fee gets a huge thumbs up from Cool­Canucks, and I rec­om­mend this phe­nom­e­nal tast­ing cof­fee to everyone!!!!!

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Scentsy Canada new Silhouette Collection Warmers & Spa Fragrances Review and Giveaway!!

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012

 

 

 

 

I for one am a huge can­dle lover, espe­cially the scented ones. I have two dogs, and am con­tin­u­ally con­cerned about what my house smells like when guests walk in the door. I love my home to look and also smell warm and inviting.

The idea of my favorite can­dles being lit and unat­tended to though fright­ens me the most. One can sim­ply run to the bath­room for just a few min­utes and the dog hap­pens to waltz by and hits the lit can­dle which in turn falls onto the car­pet and a house fire begins! Oh boy the thought of that just makes me shudder!

There’s a spe­cial beauty and tran­quil­ity to can­dles, but a lighted can­dle is also an open flame, and a poten­tial fire haz­ard if not care­fully mon­i­tored. That is why I am so ecsta­tic to have found Scentsy Canada as the wor­ries are sud­denly taken away and it feels like a huge weight has been lifted! Scentsy sells the very best scented, flame­less, and wick­less can­dles period!

 

 

 

 

 

I had the absolute plea­sure of review­ing one of the Scentsy warm­ers a cou­ple of years ago which was the orig­i­nal warmer (as pic­tured above) and I thought that one was phe­nom­e­nal! I also received some heav­enly scented warmer bars to go with it, with Cran­berry Mango being my most favorite! The other scentsy warmer bars that I was so lucky to review were the Lucky in Love, and Sticky Cin­na­mon Bun. All of the scentsy scents fill your home with delight and one never has to worry about unat­tended can­dles because these Scentsy Warm­ers sim­ply plug right in!

I have a Scentsy Warmer in every room in my home, and even have one at the cot­tage! I love mix­ing up the warm­ing bars depend­ing on my mood on that par­tic­u­lar day. But it does not mat­ter really, because I was never intro­duced to a scent that I did not love!

 

 

 

 

 

As you know, Mother’s Day just came and went and all mom’s deserve the very best treat­ment on this spe­cial day! But why wait for Mother’s Day to give your deserv­ing mother some­thing that she will adore? Every­day is Mother’s Day as far as I am con­cerned, and all mommy’s deserve the most spe­cial treat­ment on any given day “just because.” The per­fect gift for all of the mother’s in this world is the new Sil­hou­ette col­lec­tion that Scentsy recently intro­duced. This col­lec­tion includes three new porce­lain warm­ers; Lili, Lin­den and Loom. These won­der­ful new Scentsy warm­ers are very unique, as each warmer comes with a wrap. The wrap is a metal mesh sleeve that slips over a full-sized porce­lain warmer that allows light to shine through it. Each wrap has a dif­fer­ent design on it and they look absolutely amaz­ing when your warmer is plugged in!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was sent the extremely gor­geous Glow­ing Core Sil­hou­ette Full-Size Scentsy Warmer, along with the “Loom” sleeve that fits so nicely over top! Along with this I was sent 2 very fab­u­lous and spa-like scents from the Scentsy’s Serene Spa Col­lec­tion — French Laven­der and Just Breathe. Let your “scentsy’s” guide you to a very peace­ful and happy place in the world, they make you feel that you are right in a spa with­out the huge price tag!!

Scentsy’s Serene Spa Col­lec­tion con­sists of six fra­grances in this new col­lec­tion which are: Awak­en­ing, French Laven­der, Enliven, Be Still, Just Breathe and White Sands. I can hardly wait to order the other 4 warm­ers in this awe­some col­lec­tion as the scents are totally breathtaking!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each fra­grance bar is inex­pen­sive, sell­ing for only $6.00 and they last for a very long time! A warmer + a gor­geous sleeve + fra­grant warmer bars = The absolute per­fect Mother’s Day Gift!

Buy all of their awe­some warm­ers, warmer fra­grance bars, or even a Scentsy Buddy™ for your lit­tle one all for a rea­son­able price! This is def­i­nitely the ideal gift for your mother or that spe­cial per­son in your life on any given day! Scentsy full size warm­ers are surely the most thought­ful and heart­warm­ing gift that is never to be forgotten!!

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Island Importer Beach Wedding Apparel Review & Giveaway!!

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012

 

With the large rise in pop­u­lar­ity of des­ti­na­tion & beach wed­dings, Island Importer has been the most pop­u­lar choice for men, women and chil­dren when in search of the most per­fect beach wed­ding attire. It is so easy to choose the best qual­ity pre­made or cus­tom made cloth­ing as they have such an exten­sive array of all-natural fab­rics like linen, silk, and cot­ton. Also, their cloth­ing is avail­able in a huge vari­ety of colours. You can visit their swatches page to see 47 of their phe­nom­e­nal colour choices!

 

 

 

 

At Island Importer you will find the per­fect cloth­ing apparel for a des­ti­na­tion beach wed­ding. There are excel­lent qual­ity and designs avail­able to suit each indi­vid­ual taste. Choose from their col­lec­tion of linen shirts, draw­string linen pants, linen dress pants, shorts, cot­ton shirts, and cot­ton pants for men. Also, check out their col­lec­tion of nat­ural fiber, island-style, cot­ton and linen pants, shirts, skirts, tunics and san­dals for women. Look no fur­ther as they also carry a col­lec­tion of lit­tle boys cloth­ing, and they also have a selec­tion of yoga wear for men and women in com­fort­able cot­tons and form-fitting stretch jer­seys and lycras; ideal cloth­ing for any yoga prac­tice!! From top to bot­tom, they will proudly dress you up!!

 

 


I also really adored their awe­some leather beach san­dals and foot jew­elry!!

Per­haps you are plan­ning a non-wedding beach vaca­tion and are in search of the best beach cloth­ing out there? Island Importer also car­ries high qual­ity cloth­ing designed espe­cially for the beach so look no further!!

And even bet­ter? All of this fine cloth­ing is avail­able in a wide ensem­ble of sizes as well!

 

 

 

 

Island Importer sent me two very high-quality men’s shirts for hubby who thinks that they are so classy! I was also very impressed as these are shirts that would usu­ally be in the $200+ range, but yet so rea­son­ably priced on the Island Importer web­site!! The ever-popular Linen Amalfi Shirt was sent to us to review in a breath-taking french blue, and the 2nd one was a Gauze Lanai Shirt which is a casual Asian style pullover in light­weight, loose weave, gauze linen blend in the stun­ning colour Bayleaf! You hon­estly have to see these shirts up close and in per­son, the pic­tures on the Island Importer web­site look great but really don’t do this cloth­ing justice!!

 

 

 

 

Island Importer gets a HUGE thumbs up from Cool­Canucks, and I hon­estly truly rec­om­mend this fan­tas­tic com­pany to every­one!! Their cus­tomer ser­vice skills as well as deliv­ery time were also beyond outstanding!!!!!

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ evgieNev Vinyl Wall Decal Review & Giveaway!!

Sunday, May 13th, 2012

 

I have wanted to do some­thing fun and colour­ful in the hall­way of my home for years but have never really had any great ideas of what I could do to make that hap­pen. All that graced my hall­way were coat hooks, a shoe rack and a few pic­tures, func­tional but pretty darn bor­ing!  One night while I was surf­ing online I  came across a won­der­ful shop that offers all kinds of amaz­ing vinyl wall decals and I knew I found the place that offered a solu­tion to my hall­way woes. My find was a Cana­dian based online store called evgieNev that car­ries the best nurs­ery wall decals, teen wall decals, kids wall decals, cus­tom quotes, mod­ern abstracts and so much more.

 

Here is a bit of info about evgieNev

“Evgie and Ev are real gals with pas­sion and exper­tise in dig­i­tal illus­tra­tion and inte­rior dec­o­ra­tion.
 A few words About Us: Each of us liked draw­ing very much since child­hood, it became our pro­fes­sion.
 With vinyl wall decals being the lat­est trend in home decor – easy to apply, easy to remove, easy to tai­lor to spe­cific wall or sur­face – we offer hand­made large and small      vinyl stick­ers with our designs and ideas for kids and grown-ups rooms. We start with idea, pen­cil and blank paper and then ren­der our designs dig­i­tally for vinyl cut­ting.We    view wall as a back­ground for living.”

 

evgieNev offers an incred­i­ble assort­ment of vinyl wall decals that are per­fect to dec­o­rate every room in your home. If you are look­ing for decals for a new nurs­ery you will find that they offer the best nurs­ery decals out there. It makes me wish I was expect­ing so I could cre­ate a spe­cial room for a lit­tle one. The wall art for the liv­ing room is a great way to update your space and make it look styl­ish and trendy with­out hav­ing to spend lots of time, money or work to achieve your goal.  Their bed­room decals for kids, teens and adults can help you cre­ate the per­fect room for any per­son­al­ity.  From branches, trees, polka dots, flow­ers, themes and cus­tom quotes you can cre­ate and enjoy the room you have dreamed of.

 

All of the evgieNev wall decals are a matte fin­ish so they repel any unwanted reflec­tions. The tem­po­rary adhe­sive of the decals lets you remove them eas­ily with­out leav­ing behind any traces of residue. Vinyl Wall Decals can be applied on any smooth sur­face: walls, glass, fur­ni­ture, ceramic, and mirrors

 

The own­ers of evgieNev very kindly offered me an item of my choos­ing to review. I decided on a Fly­ing Seeds — Dan­de­lion wall decal that I knew would be a per­fect fit for my hall­way. I was able to choose the colour of the decal and went with Olive because it would look great on my white walls and match the rest of the décor in my apart­ment. Instal­la­tion was so easy and from start to fin­ish the whole project took less than a half hour. The end result is a work of art grac­ing my hall­way that looks like I hired a pro­fes­sional to come in and do for me. It looks like it was painted right onto the wall and it makes my once bor­ing hall­way warm and inviting.

 

 Visit evgieNev on Face­book and keep up to date on spe­cials being offered, new designs and inspi­ra­tion from other happy customers

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Eraselet Bracelet Review & Giveaway!!

Saturday, May 12th, 2012

 

 

The Erase­let Bracelet is a hot new prod­uct that is tak­ing the world by storm! Chil­dren, teenagers and par­ents alike are flock­ing to buy these awe­some fash­ion­able rub­ber bracelets that also dou­bles as a handy eraser! Great for those who can never seem to find an eraser (like me) when you need one!!

 

 

 

 

 

The Erase­let comes in an exten­sive array of pretty colours and designs, so buy one … or buy them all! At a very low and ide­al­is­tic price, you can afford to pur­chase these for your chil­dren as well as their friends! I also see these mak­ing excel­lent stock­ing stuffers, or even to use as great yet inex­pen­sive party favors!!

 

 

 

 

“Thank you for your inter­est in Erase­let, LLC. My hus­band, Bryan Ricci, invented the Erase­let as a way for our three young daugh­ters, all in ele­men­tary school, to keep from los­ing their erasers. All three daugh­ters love bracelets, so why not an eraser in the form of a bracelet? The prod­uct, a rev­o­lu­tion­ary eraser in the form of a bracelet, was given the title “Erase­let”, patent-pended and trade­marked through the USPTO (United State Patent and Trade­mark Office).

It was impor­tant to both Bryan and I that our prod­uct, Erase­let, be made in the United States. It just didn’t seem right, in our country’s cur­rent finan­cial sit­u­a­tion, to send good jobs over­seas. After being told time and again that we would have to go out­side the US to find an afford­able man­u­fac­turer, we were more than pleased when we found Alliance Rub­ber Com­pany in Hot Springs, Arkansas! Alliance Rub­ber has been fam­ily owned and oper­ated since 1923. By stay­ing firm to our com­mit­ment, every time you buy an Erase­let, you are help­ing to pro­vide jobs right here in the USA!

Erase­let has also pro­vided us with a way to help oth­ers. We are excited to be able to share our prod­uct with you, to help you to Erase Your Cause! Through our non-profit, Erase World Hunger, we are able to pro­vide food, clean drink­ing water and love to chil­dren in this coun­try as well as coun­tries all around the world. What does your non-profit do and how can we help you to Erase Your Cause?”

 

 

 

 

You can also request them to be cus­tom made, just made espe­cially for your kids. The cus­tom Erase­lets can also be used and sold as won­der­ful fundraiser gifts to help you get dona­tions for a par­tic­u­lar cause! The ideas are endless!!

I received a really cool pack­age of the Erase­lets to review and my nieces went crazy over them. I no longer have any left here at my house, but these will cer­tainly be the envy among their friends! It was a mixed packet of Erase­lets from their Trend Col­lec­tion. These are super cute, and I absolutely rec­om­mend these to every­one! Wear ‘em, trade ‘em, and col­lect them all! For the extremely low price of $1.00 each, they are cer­tainly worth every penny! You can also of course order them in pack­ages for only $4.95!

 

I truly give the Erase­let a huge thumbs up, and rec­om­mend that every­one own these!!

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Crayon Rocks Review & Giveaway!!

Friday, May 11th, 2012

 

 

 

Bar­bara Lee has been work­ing with spe­cial needs chil­dren for over 23 years. She cre­ated Crayon Rocks after being inspired by Jan Olsen, OTR, and the Hand­writ­ing With­out Tears pro­gram. Bar­bara learned how impor­tant it was to develop early a good tri­pod grip, as hand­writ­ing skills depends upon this.

“Since a child’s first writ­ing tool is usu­ally a crayon, that crayon should be one that encour­ages him or her to use thumb, first and sec­ond fin­gers in a tri­pod grip.  This is what makes Crayon Rocks a won­der­ful tool for fine motor development.”

 

 

 

 

“A really good crayon should take very lit­tle effort in apply­ing great swaths of color to the paper.
In fact, that crayon should be as much like paint as pos­si­ble. Great col­ors that go on smoothly and eas­ily, help­ing lit­tle fin­gers to grow strong as they spill their cre­ative ideas on to paper.

I wanted a col­or­ing tool that stu­dents with grip strength prob­lems and dis­or­ders effect­ing fine motor con­trol could use AND enjoy. It has been lots of fun to see what my stu­dents do with
their Crayon Rocks.

Chil­dren with cere­bral palsy, autism, devel­op­men­tal delays and var­i­ous forms of learn­ing dis­abil­i­ties have tested Crayon Rocks in the class­room. Par­ents and teach­ers of spe­cial needs stu­dents often tell me how much their chil­dren love them. ”

 

 

 

 

Crayon Rocks are made of a softer soy wax and tinted with min­eral pow­ders. Crayon Rocks make an exten­sive array of vibrant colours and beau­ti­ful tex­tures, and are a per­fect art mate­r­ial for chil­dren. They are made from renew­able soy­beans grown in the USA and are col­ored with nat­ural min­eral pow­ders, and are rec­om­mended for kids ages 3+.

I was sent a pretty bag of Crayon Rocks to review, and my nieces went nuts over them!! These are very inex­pen­sive and would make the per­fect stock­ing stuffers! Also, I can eas­ily see them being used for excel­lent party favors!!

 

 

 

 

Crayon Rocks get a huge thumbs up from Cool­Canucks, and should be owned by everyone!

Thursday, May 10th, 2012

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

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. I took the pills as well over the period of the month but since it is from the inside-out it is hard to tell if it has had any effect or not. All in all though, using all four 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.

CoolCanucks Blog Contest ~ Toe Juice Review & Giveaway!!

Thursday, May 10th, 2012

 

 

 

I came across another new and awe­some prod­uct out called Toe Juice. What exactly is Toe Juice you are prob­a­bly won­der­ing? Toe Juice was invented by a high school sci­ence teacher in Boise, Idaho, named Royce Gar­ner back in 1970 believe it or not! It was when he was encoun­ter­ing dry, flaky, and cracked feet on his then infant son. He needed to invent the best cracked feet rem­edy out there!

Royce did some  research, went to his lab, and came out with a rev­o­lu­tion­ary new prod­uct. Not only did it fix and pre­vent fur­ther com­pli­ca­tions with his son’s feet, but over  the years many friends, fam­ily, and acquain­tances have ben­e­fited from the  strength of Royce’s Toe Juice®. Those who ben­e­fited from the fast dry­ing liq­uid,  often encour­aged Royce to take it pub­lic. So that he did, and Toe Juice was a suc­cess! Toe Juice has been known to work on:

 

Acne

Ath­letes foot

Cold Sores

Dia­betic

Eczema

Foot Prob­lems

Ichthyosis

Insect Bites

Jock Itch

Jun­gle Rot

Misc. Skin Irritation

Pso­ri­a­sis

Rashes

Ring­worm

Warts

 

 

 

 

Der­maVine® is the power behind Toe Juice®. Using a blend of plant-based extracts Der­maVine® enhances the skin’s nat­ural repair­ing abil­ity. It’s a secret recipe of course, but they tell us that it’s made from some of the ingre­di­ents such as wil­low bark, lemon peel, and Cin­na­monum extracts.

They also carry an addi­tional prod­uct called Hog WashHog Wash is the very best hand san­i­tizer and wash out there today that focuses on sooth­ing dry, split hands. It is spe­cially for­mu­lated to nat­u­rally pro­mote new skin growth, leav­ing hands clean, soft and hydrated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Toe Juice is a fast dry­ing liq­uid that soothes itchy irri­tated skin and soft­ens rough patches. It’s a fast dry­ing liq­uid, so you can just pour it into your hands and apply it to the areas you want to treat, or pour some onto a cot­ton swab.  It smells like sort of a minty alco­hol but that dis­si­pates really quickly. I used it on my very dry heels, and can see a won­der­ful improve­ment already after just 3 days!!

 

 

 

 

Toe Juice is hon­estly a God-send, and I truly rec­om­mend this prod­uct to everyone!
