<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> For many years now we have had a skiing holiday in the interior of British Columbia. We always go to <a href="http://www.bigwhite.com/" target="_blank">Big White Ski Resort</a> because it is quiet, has nice ski slopes and lovely snow conditions (unless it is a white out). Rarely do you have to wait more than a few minutes to get onto the chairs to the top of the mountain.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is a fabulous family resort, with a kids ski school and play area. The kids are put into groups according to their skiing skills and fitted with a GPS tracker. Parents can see where the kids have been skiing throughout the day. The kids spend half a day or a full day with their ski instructors cruising the slopes, going through bumpy alley and various fun places that I don't venture. They have hot chocolate, snacks and lunch if its a full day program. My kids are way better than I am at skiing and they just love going.</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdqfHJdt9u8Wc16Vv87h4nq62GGiIWT4og0_Y6Mff6sWRUGQVUwOXkCjgu5q2rXAOx4hm6hJKV5XThUNlhij3o1G7vjl86Gn7SRxwUfwyJEnwpyB2TghLljs4U7m2c48WTDMIcZibxUYo/s1600/IMG_20200211_145845.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdqfHJdt9u8Wc16Vv87h4nq62GGiIWT4og0_Y6Mff6sWRUGQVUwOXkCjgu5q2rXAOx4hm6hJKV5XThUNlhij3o1G7vjl86Gn7SRxwUfwyJEnwpyB2TghLljs4U7m2c48WTDMIcZibxUYo/s320/IMG_20200211_145845.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We stay at the Stonebridge Lodge. It is a beautiful ski-in ski-out apartment living. It has a personal hot tub, washing facilities, two bathrooms, two bedrooms, cozy sitting area with dining and kitchen area. It isn't the cheapest place to stay but when we are skiing with want comfort, access to everything and a good nights sleep.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are many apres ski activities for the family, tubing, carnival night, games nights, fireworks, skating, ice climbing, eating, drinking and more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really like Big White because it is not a busy resort, you don't have the noise of the party goers, you feel safe leaving the kids in the hands of the ski instructors. The snow conditions are lovely and as mentioned before, no crazy waiting lines.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A lot of locals visit on the weekends or come for the night skiing. Many competitions are held here but that doesn't impose on the holiday makers too much.</span><br />

<br />
I stopped blogging. Is it still a thing or has vlogging taken over? I have't gotten into vlogging, not yet at least, I have only just started with stories in <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stephspassions/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>. I have noticed that this blogging page hasn't changed much,<br />
<br />
So what have I been up to? Do you care? Well this is really for me than you but I am willing to share.<br />
<br />
I moved to the <a href="https://sunshinecoastcanada.com/" target="_blank">Sunshine Coast</a> and loved it and lived there for four years and now we have moved again, AGAIN! I went back to riding horses for a year or so to the point where I nearly bought one. Decided against it due to time and cost.<br />
<br />

<br />
This winter we have had nothing but rain and we had over a foot of snow at one point this year. Oh yes, 2020, Happy New Year and all of that. Looks like we are getting a bit of sun this March,<br />
<br />
We went skiing last month in <a href="http://www.bigwhite.com/plan-your-trip/accommodation?gclid=Cj0KCQiAwP3yBRCkARIsAABGiPq4RI9myeu8YdoA1MEMqdPrzQY0zcUmp2YXK4PHbogS_vMvtsscWL4aAvKkEALw_wcB" target="_blank">Big White</a>, which was great because last year we decided to forgo skiing and see family in England. That trip was awesome. We visited family in Staffordshire, we visited Emma Bridgewater Potter and made some pots. and Hampshire. Toured the<a href="https://www.hms-victory.com/" target="_blank"> HMS Victory</a> in Portsmouth, which is amazing.<br />
<br />
We stayed a few nights in<a href="https://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/united-kingdom/hilton-london-paddington-LONPDHI/index.html" target="_blank"> Paddington Hilton</a> in a lovely suite by the train station. Don't have the breakfast at this hotel it was terrible and expensive, I don't expect to pay top dollar for Cornflakes. However, it was a great location, next to the tube and close to everything.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK3ovUcUPZRXmewwvOXMZtJJEMBgrv164swAV8sLffos3ijygTyMjqLXxYhjhvPa0ObwwAVTYLJ82sV5_5Vebuk_HC2qJHRLpEfsyTl79oN80hc7XkqfpL_UoSY0QInHnzl_ZbNmZsDVA/s1600/MVIMG_20190416_192610.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK3ovUcUPZRXmewwvOXMZtJJEMBgrv164swAV8sLffos3ijygTyMjqLXxYhjhvPa0ObwwAVTYLJ82sV5_5Vebuk_HC2qJHRLpEfsyTl79oN80hc7XkqfpL_UoSY0QInHnzl_ZbNmZsDVA/s320/MVIMG_20190416_192610.jpg" width="240" /></a>Out stay in London was busy and eventful, we booked tea at the <a href="https://www.theritzlondon.com/suites-and-room-packages/book-in-advance/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAwP3yBRCkARIsAABGiPoLi3WDP9J9AyywwVZSeLJIiX2GVNxo2oSsqkmNiA1TodJmE6TG8zEaAm0wEALw_wcB" target="_blank">Ritz </a>which I discovered to my horror, a tourist trap, expensive and the food was disappointing. My husband forgot his tie and didn't have cash on him, so he had to go and find a cash point so he could hire a tie - ridiculous.<br />
<br />
Later we ate at <a href="http://www.le-gavroche.co.uk/" target="_blank">Le Gavroche </a> and met the famous Michel Roux Jr, they bumped our table booking earlier and they only had a private table available, we got that at no extra charge. We ate at an Italian Michelin star restaurant which was nice and the kids got to go into the kitchen. We also ate at a British Michel star restaurant which was amazing. We hope to go to a Gordon Ramsey eatery on our next trip.<br />
<br />
We also toured the museums.<br />
<br />
On top of all of that we decided to house hunt. And we mover in November. 2019 was an eventful year.<br />

<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have tended to lean towards long hair but on occasions I just want it gone. All I do it tie it back or wash and go that means it is messy and frizzy when it is longer but today I made an impromptu stop at the hair salon and said I want it shorter but feminine. As it happens my hairstylist had similar hair to me and had it in a style that I liked so she was more than capable of taking this task on. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Changing your hair is a big deal, it can change the way you look and my, oh my, have I ever had bad hair cuts but taking the leap of faith that the style you want will look just fine is worth the plunge. Besides when my hair is tied back my hair looks like the above so I may as well chop the pony tail off. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So what is in a hair cut? For me, going short is a kind of liberation, a time for change, I am paving a new future and I am ready to move forward even if no one else is. So here it is, it may not be considered sexy, feminine to have short hair but I am not seeking approval this is not about you it is about me and what I want and that is what it comes down to, seeking your own approval, believing it is right for you. Besides, hair grows back and I am looking forward to that part too.</div>

<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846137843384013056.post-79452246838286471662015-03-22T09:59:00.000-07:002015-03-22T10:01:56.291-07:00What you don't want in your beauty regime. Do you think about what you are putting on your body and what happens to it once you wash it off? Maybe it is time to think about what you are doing and think about where your money is going. Vegan and organic make-up brands are priced well and is an excellent alternative to your daily face-paint. There are plenty of non-harmful soaps and shampoos around as well as deodorants. If you like to dye your hair try and find a salon that uses green products, there are a few.<br />
<br />
<b>Here are a few questions for you:</b><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Do you put make-up on everyday, the kind that stars on the TV the brands that the A-lister's wear or even the cheaper drug store brands? </li>
<li>Do you wear deodorants, shampoo and condition your hair?</li>
<li>What about moisturizing your skin daily?</li>
<li>Love those lip balms and lipsticks?</li>
<li>Who doesn't like a bubbly bubble bath?</li>
<li>Like to smell beautiful wearing perfume?</li>
<li>Love to dye your hair?</li>
<li>We all have to brush our teeth and wash our hands but what do you use and do you pay attention to what is in it?</li>
<li>We all do these things, some do it more than most and others less so. But are you brand aware more so than health aware? Do you care? If not you should care, it is your health that could be affected. </li>
</ol>
<br />
Beauty products can hide those blemishes, make you smell nice and so on but have you ever thought that there may be an underlying problem, say, your diet? Your diet can change the way your skin, hair and nails look and feel plus the added bonus, the way you smell. I will go more into that at a later date.<br />
<br />
<b>First off lets look at the things you don't want to see in your beauty products.</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>BHA and BHT</li>
<li>Coal tar dyes that say P-Phenylenediamine. Yes, it is meant to blind you with science and hard-to-say words. Most people will glance over it not thinking twice.</li>
<li>Parabens</li>
<li>Parfum</li>
<li>PEG</li>
<li>Petrolatum</li>
<li>Sodium Laureth Sulfates and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate</li>
<li>Cyclomethicone and siloxanes </li>
<li>DEA, MEA and TEA</li>
<li>Dibutyl Phthalate</li>
<li>Formeldehyde</li>
<li>Triclosan</li>
</ul>
<br />
Not only do these products have the potential to do harm, like improve your chances of cancer, some of these products interfere with hormone balance, they can include heavy metals but there are ecological affects too. You wash a lot of these products off in the shower or bath, it goes into the water and touches wildlife and fish. Do you really want to eat fish that has swallowed beautiful smelly bubbles, it says on the bottle not to swallow it!<br />
<br />
This is a very basic overview but there is a lot of information out there and here are a few resources to get more detailed info:<br />
<br />
www.DavidSuzuki.org (<a href="http://www.davidsuzuki.org/issues/health/science/toxics/dirty-dozen-cosmetic-chemicals/" target="_blank">the dirty dozen</a> as listed above) and www.ewg.org it has gone mobile so you can look-up your beauty products to see what is in them and decide if you really want them on your body.<br />
<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1846137843384013056.post-40093700593473474302015-03-09T21:53:00.002-07:002015-03-26T10:13:50.256-07:00What is in your beauty products?I finally decided to end my subscription with <a href="http://www.ipsy.com/" target="_blank">Ipsy</a>. Why? Like I have said before, I don't wear a lot of make-up therefore I don't need a lot of beauty products and finally because I am shocked by how many chemicals are added to lipsticks, blusher, mascara, face-masks and so-called natural products. I do not want to have thousands of chemicals on me nor in me.<br />
<br />
Added to my need to reduce the amount of toxins entering into my own body I have two beautiful girls who look up to me and I need to set an example. My limited beauty regime has sparked an interest with one of my girls, after all, the packaging is pretty and eye-shadows and lipsticks come in an array of beautiful colours. . Every little girl wants to be like her mum (at least at the beginning).<br />
<br />
Initially, the reason for not encouraging my girls make-up habit started off as not wanting them to think about the way they look and how others see them. But there is more to it I needed to take a serious look at what was being put into the cosmetics I placed upon my body and theirs. <br />
<br />
I thought purchasing <a href="http://www.lush.ca/" target="_blank">Lush </a>products would be a good start, nice smelling bath bubbles, shampoo and a lip balm. Little did I know that these products are not all as they seem. Yes they are hand-made, use fresh ingredients, against animal cruelty and use less packaging, they never claim they are fully natural nor organic, however this is not to say that they are harmful or at least there are few harmful ingredients making them a better choice than most. <a href="http://www.thebodyshop.ca/en/index.aspx" target="_blank">Body Shop</a> is similar to Lush, all good causes; not testing on animals, less packaging and so on.<br />
<br />
This one horrifies me. You know those <a href="http://globalnews.ca/news/1579207/microbeads-in-cleansing-products-contaminating-the-great-lakes/" target="_blank">micro-beads</a> that exfoliate the skin and have also been put into toothpastes? They are made of plastic! Not only are they going onto your skin to clear dead cells they are going into the water supply and are having damaging ecological effects. I had no idea. What next?<br />
<br />
If you love your beauty products you must watch this video, presented by Heather White. What she discusses is frightening and women are being blasted with toxins more than men, you will see why when you watch it. She is one of the reasons why I have decided to rethink my beauty purchases.<br />
<br />
If this video does not change your mind about what you put on your body (and your child(s)) I am not sure what will.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So in search of natural and organic where possible I went onto the internet. It is actually very difficult because the search-engine is dominated by the well known beauty companies paying the large amounts of money to be listed highly on the internet but sifting through it all I did find some.<br />
<br />
<b>Companies.</b><br />
<a href="http://saje.ca/" target="_blank">Saje</a>, Canadian owned. Natural remedies for headaches, colds and other ailments. They produce soaps, deodorants, skin products etc. They do not do make-up,<br />

<b>Interesting articles worth reading.</b><br />
Dangerous Beauty posted on <a href="http://www.joyoushealth.com/blog/2015/01/19/dangerous-beauty-a-very-brief-history-of-toxic-cosmetics/" target="_blank">Joyous Blog</a>, written by Kate McDonald Walker talks about the history of beauty products and just how dangerous they were and are.<br />
The Guardian, a UK publication writes about <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/feb/10/phthalates-plastics-chemicals-research-analysis" target="_blank">Phthalates are everywhere.</a> This is a really good read.<br />
<br />
<b>Apps. </b><br />
I don't use many apps but this one looks like a winner.<br />
A useful app by <a href="http://www.thinkdirtyapp.com/" target="_blank">Think Dirty</a>. Scan the bar code to see an easy to read ingredients list and if there is a better less harmful comparison that will be suggested to you. <br />
If you know of any good apps I would love to hear them.<br />
<br />
I hope this helps you to rethink your beauty rituals and help you to make better more informed decisions. It is not easy, I know, but some of the diseases we see in the western world are preventable by changing our habits.<br />

A sneak peak for my <a href="http://www.ipsy.com/" target="_blank">Ipsy </a>bag this month. There are some nice items here. the brush is an added bonus with the blush too, I do like my blusher. As for the other items, I sit on the borderline until I see them in action,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a strong pink theme going on here I have to assume because it is nearly Valentine's.<br />

<b>Who is Ipsy and what is it?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
You sign up for a monthly <a href="http://www.ipsy.com/about" target="_blank">Ipsy </a>beauty bag that is delivered to your door.

You can customize your preferences, depending on what you like and what style you are looking for and you can change it each month should you so choose.<br />
If you live in the Stated it costs $10 per month add postage for those, like myself, living in Canada.<br />

January's Ipsy glam bag was a nice surprise. The products I received were better than expected and other than the eyeliner I have have used them all. The lipstick is lovely and I really liked the Eco-Beauty moisturizer I used it after every skiing day, it was nice and light, non-greasy on my face. </div>

My first thoughts are; </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I like the <b>Hey Honey</b> exfoliating mask. I need one therefore I am looking forward to getting this.<br /><br /><b>La Fresh Eco-Beauty</b> moisturizer. I use Lush products mostly to moisturize or argon oil so we shall see how this fairs. It sounds like it will be perfect for my skin type.<br /><br /><b>Pacifica </b>eye shadow. If it is natural then I am all for it but I can't say I am super excited.<br /><br /><b>Velvet 59</b> lipgloss. Not again, another lipgloss. Oh well! The problem with glosses is they don't stick for long as soon as you drink something you need to reapply.<br /><br />I deliberately saved the liquid eyeliner for last from<b> Coastal Scents</b>, my eyes are small and dark in colour which creates even smaller eyes when applying eyeliner. This one may be a gift to someone who wears it but most of my friends tend not to wear a lot of makeup. OK, I may give it ago but I am not hopeful. </div>

I received my <b>Ipsy Gam Bag </b>just before Christmas and I am pleased with what I have. The <b>NYX </b>lip stick has a red tint to it, actually it is quite a strong colour. The eye shadow <b>brush </b>is a perfect travel size and lovely. I haven't used the <b>Pixi </b>fairy dust yet but it will make a nice highlighter. The <b>bag </b>it came is is a little small so can't carry much but I like it for when I am out carrying a smaller purse, it will keep my make-up pieces in one place and I will have to choose carefully with what I take out with me.</div>

I suffer with cold hands, I am often tucking my hands into my pockets or wearing cumbersome big gloves when I am outdoors. Something as simple as picking up my keys from my bag can become a challenge when wearing thick gloves but the hand warmer allows for greater freedom. Even when I am indoors, typing on the computer, or watching the TV I am often pulling at my sleeves to cover my poor freezing hands. </div>

Wearing gloves in an office can be unsightly but the hand warmer is a great alternative. The hand warmer and gloves are excellent for cyclists, dog walkers, office workers, outdoor workers and sports folk alike. I have been using the hand warmer from <a href="http://www.iheatwear.com/" style="color: #a64d79; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">iHeat Wear .</a> I have the black one which is now on sale for <a href="http://www.iheatwear.com/products/hand-warmer-1/3/" style="color: #a64d79; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">$69.99 plus tax</a>.<br /><br />The iHeat products have controllable heated elements inside. Soft and oh, so cozy. It comes with a rechargeable battery which is attached inside and concealed in the hidden zipper compartment . The adjustable strap as seen in the image goes around your waist, it also acts as a belt, I say this because my black long coat looks great pulled in at the waist and having access to something that warms my hands is an added bonus.<br /><br /> I am in love with this product, my hands quickly heat up inside the warmer and I can easily release my hands when I need them to be free. My kids also loves sneaking in their hands.</div>

This is a new Canadian company which ships worldwide and they have other available products like heated inner-liner gloves which I hope to get at a later date to go over my normal gloves, great for winter bike rides, hikes etc. They also have ski gloves which I am seriously looking at purchasing for when I go skiing. </div>

I don't know what it is but it is fun rummaging through things. Perhaps it has something to do with when I was a kid, I would often go to jumble sales (a UK term) with my mum. Not as sophisticated as the second hand shops are today. You really have to know which ones to go to, there are some great charity shops that house great clothes and accessories then there are others that have tat in them. However, the independent owned consignment stores are more selective in what they take and you tend to find designer names and barely used clothes and jewelry.<br />
<br />
I have found two stores in my area that sell lovely clothing. I have bought a fabulous black party dress from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fabulous-for-less-consignment/694269643919124" target="_blank">Fabulous for Less</a> and in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LaBoutiqueConsignment?fref=nf" target="_blank">La Boutique Consignment</a> I got a lovely Coach clutch bag with a nice Coach coin purse to go with. The clutch bag and coin purse came with a gift, a necklace, the store has a promotion on, well it is the season.<br />

My lovely Coach clutch. It looks much better in person. I don't normally go for animal prints but this has a lovely glittery sheen and has a lilac inner lining. It is barely used. I will be using it for the Christmas party.</div>

This is the necklace I got from La Boutique. It will go with everything, it has a slight hint of brown to it and the colour can look darker or lighter depending on the lighting and what it is being worn with. This will go great with my black polo beck top which will be worn the day after the party event.</div>

<b>BWC: </b>Facial Cleanser.

<div>
<b>Crown Brush:</b> This is meant to be highly sort after. I have a similar brush but you can't have too many.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>NYX</b>: Super excited trying this brand have always coveted it and a lip balm at this time of year is always a nice to have. I also use <a href="http://evolutionofsmooth.com/" target="_blank">EOS </a>lip balms so we shall see how this compares.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Pixi by Petra: </b>Love this brand and I can't wait to receive this.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Tarte</b>: Excellent brand but I wished it was something other than a mascara, I have too many travel sized mascara's already. The fact that it is a 4-1 mascara makes me highly suspicious, I have never needed to put four products on my eyelashes, have you? The Tarte mascara boldly declares that it makes the eyelashes <b><i>curl</i></b>, I question how this is possible without the help of an eyelash curler. It <b style="font-style: italic;">volumizes </b>which is not a real word<b style="font-style: italic;">, </b>(if you put a few layers on any mascara will do that job). It <b><i>lengthens</i></b>, well of course it does, most dark coloured mascara's do this. <b><i>Conditions</i></b>! Well I have yet to know whether a mascara does this or not and do my lashes really need conditioner? I am skeptical to say the least.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Very happy with what is in this bag, I only hope the sizes are not as pathetic as my <a href="http://stepmatt.blogspot.ca/2014/12/ipsy-glam-bag-november-2014-review.html" target="_blank">November </a>Glam Bag. The black make-up bag looks good too.<br />

I look forward to reviewing it.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have had this <b>Ipsy Glam Bag</b> November edition for a few weeks. I have held off writing a review because I felt it was a bit meh! My blog post will reflect my attitude towards this months bag, lackluster.<br />
<br />
The <b>lip paint</b> is very good, the pigmentation is strong and holds its colour, a little darker to my normal but nice. The <b>eye pencil</b> is nice too not sure the green shade really goes with my blue eyes but I liked the consistency. The<b> </b>black package contains a very<b> </b>tiny<b>, </b>incy, wincy, not even as big as my thumb, sample sized<b> eye concealer, it </b>is nice and I am impressed by the product it isn't cake-like once applied and a little goes a long way, just as well really because this product size will only last three applications. The Marc Anthony <b>hairspray </b>is fine. can't say it makes my hair shine all that much, it will travel nicely in a small purse/bag. I have yet to try the <b>moisturiser SeaRx, </b>again it is a small sample and will only last two maybe three applications so it will be impossible to say how good this product really is, I find you need at least a week to see how a moisuriser works on the skin. The storage bag itself is more for a young girl I will not be going out in public with it, I am too old for this style, it looks plastic and cheap. I know a little girl who would love it. It looks like Forever 21 collaborated with Ipsy on this one, it doesn't make me want to step into the Forever 21 store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The reason for being so underwhelmed by this months Ipsy Glam Bag is simply the size of the products. They are truly sample sizes except for the eyelinerm maybe the lip paint is full sized but it is still small. As you can see from the photo the eyeliner is the biggest item and just fits in the bag,<br />
<br />
I will be interested to see what December has to offer. I have had this subscription for three months now which is my marker for deciding whether I will continue or cancel so I am giving it one more month. </div>

I added a flower to my floppy hat. I see so many people wearing them as is that I thought I would add something to it. Easy accessory to add to a plain black hat.</div>

The <b>SeaRx </b>skincare product looks like a nice-to-have particularly this time of year, it will help brighten my skin. The under eye concealer by<b> IT Cosmetics</b> will be great, I do have a similar product that I have not used much of but one that is easy to travel with is useful. <b>J. Cat Beauty Wonder Lip Paint</b>, I am OK with this, I have lots of lipsticks. Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Hairspray; will be interesting to see if this actually provides a shine to my hair. Finally an eye pencil by <b>Starlooks</b>. meh! I hardly use eye pencils unless it is a pale colour to make my eyes look bigger. I find that dark shades make my eyes look even smaller, however it is meant to have a shimmer to it and comes in a goldish or greenish. The gold will be preferable for my eye colour.</div>

I bought my first ever pair of <a href="https://www.fluevog.com/" target="_blank">John Fluevog</a> shoes from the store in Gastown, Vancouver. I have been coveting this brand for a few years now. The shoes are not the cheapest on the market but my god are they comfy. I have not worn 4inch heels since before children, I just can't run around in them but these beauties, named <a href="https://www.fluevog.com/shop/4253-kendra-black-beige?item=2&of=173&anchor=2050&anchor_page=1" target="_blank">Kendra</a>, are so comfy, elegant and sophisticated that they can dress-up any outfit or go nice with a pair of jeans and I can walk in them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There were so many shoes in store this season that I wanted to buy but for $319 (inc tax) for these babies I could not stomach purchasing another pair. </div>

There is so much detail that go into these shoes. The soles are made of leather and are stamped with, "Elegant Conversation. Listen Loud. Speak Softly." The soles are signed and so is the leather on the outside of the shoe on the heal.</div>

There is also a great selection of men's shoes too. I have been to some high-end suit shops in London on Saville Row, Mayfair. Fluevog shoes are on a par with the off-the-shelf shoes in this area.

My new shoes have these amazing shaped heels, they look amazing when they are on, elongating the leg (I am vertically challenged so this is a bonus). They are thick and provide stability and comfort for shopping trips or a function where standing is needed for long periods.</div>

I highly recommend visiting the store and investing in a pair of Fluevog shoes.</div>

It has arrived; my October Glam Bag from Ipsy. What I love the most about this subscription is the makeup bags, I can use them for all sorts of storage and also for going out. I tend to have large make-up bags to home my goodies but nothing to take out with me so this is a bonus. The makeup bag in this months package is a little bigger than the September issue and I love the bright colour. </div>

The Doll10 highlighted is lovely, it adds a nice sheen to cheek bones. Easy to apply, I used my fingers and dabbed it into the areas I wanted highlighting. I would buy this one.</div>

The ModelCo Mascara is very nice and I am impressed with this. I am not sure it gives volume unless I really layer it on, like most mascaras to get volume several coats are needed. However, I like this because it is nice and light with a nice brush and it doesn't smudge.</div>

The City Color Be Matte lipstick in Cappuccino is a nice neutral colour and being matte it lasts longer. My husband says he hates the glossy ones, he thinks they look sticky and the last thing he wants is lipstick on his face too! As it happens I prefer matte finishes also. Never heard of this brand before. One thing I will say is; the best matte lipstick I have ever invested any money in is Chanel. It stays on longer and looks and feels silky and luxurious. The City Color brand is great for on the go, everyday use. </div>

The Figs & Rouge handcream all the way from the UK (yeah!) smells gorgeous, I am familiar with this brand. I like the mango smell, hmmm! The cream feels a little watery at first but soon sinks into the hands and smells divine. This is a great addition to my bag with the colder days ahead. The handy travel size makes it easy to take out and about.</div>

I don't know about you but finding a hairdresser that you like and can be loyal to is a real challenge. My hair type is easy to work with but the amount of people that have screwed it up over the years is astonishing. Many times I have left a salon looking like I have aged ten years or a cut that washes terribly and cannot be styled at home. A few years ago I had a cut that made my hair frizzy, it was a first for me. However, I finally found myself a good hair stylist, she has the same hair type as I and we both liked the same looks so she could easily cut and blow dry my hair without thinking too much. Yesterday I called up for a last minute appointment only to discover she has moved onto pastures new. Noooooo! All was not lost, the lady who I was referred to was even better. She cut it and styled it in a way that suits me. She listened to what I wanted and shaped it along the way until we decided it was finished. In fact she was positively lovely and easy to talk to (the talking is the bit that kills me at hairdressers, I feel obliged to chat even though I prefer not to in most cases). So where did I go? I went to <a href="http://www.luxehairsalon.ca/" target="_blank">Luxe Hair Salon</a> in Port Moody. The staff are friendly, the customer service is excellent, they will hang up your bag and coat which is out of view and located at your station. They have a varied drinks menu and it is very relaxed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is the cut and I am very, very pleased with it, indeed. </div>

It is that time again. The Ipsy Glam Bag for October is ready to be shipped and I have to sneak-a- peek. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am loving what is in this so far. The lipstick looks nice, the blush too. I am ready for a new hand-cream and a mascara is always handy. The cleansing cloths are great for when I am out and about. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I won't actually receive this for at least ten days but I am excited to get my hands on it.</div>

Jessica shoes, Sears Outlet Store. $9.99 Love these shoes. I have been looking for some t-bar shoes that are not clumpy for a while and I found the last pair in my size. These are lovely on and are comfortable too. It has a nice heal that I can cope with.</div>

This gown is nice and long, it reaches my ankles, you have no idea how hard it is for me to get a dress to be fit me in length, long dresses drag on the floor these days because the length on regular size products have increased in the last ten years. They only had a large size but as it happens it is nicer to sleep in, less likely to break a strap when turning in my sleep. </div>

My little bag of goodies. I am very happy with all the products especially the nail polish.. The eyeliner is a nice travel size the Bombshell powder I have yet to use, I tend not to use powders on my face. The <a href="http://www.cailyncosmetics.com/LIP/LIP-GLOSS/ART-TOUCH-TINTED-LIP-GLOSS" target="_blank">Cailyn lip gloss</a> or to be precise the, Art Touch Tinted Lip Gloss, is as expected except it is nice and smooth and moisturizing but with all lip glosses I have worn I have yet to find one that is as hard wearing as a lipstick. As soon as I eat or drink it has to be reapplied. Nonetheless, it is a great lip gloss for the upcoming colder months. The colour I received was Basic Instinct. The <a href="https://www.briogeohair.com/" target="_blank">Briogeo</a> Don't Despair Repair is a nice product, it is upto 90% natural which is a bonus too and you can purchase this from Sephora. </div>

It lasts, it did not chip for a week and a half and that was because I knocked my toe. They looked shiny and healthy and very hard wearing. This is by far one of the best nail polishes I have ever used. My colour was Pretty Piggy. This is by far my favourite item. </span></div>
