Do You Have Extremely Dry Skin?
February 13, 09
If you suffer from extremely dry skin – then you know how important it is to moisturize!
I tried a new body lotion – on my hands – the other day and I loved it.
It’s the new Clinical Therapy – Intensive Rescue – by Vaseline. It’s specifically designed for people who struggle with bothersome dry skin symptoms like redness, tightness, cracks, scales, flakes and soreness. It’s non-greasy, hypoallergenic and has a nice soft scent (even though it says unscented?)
It’s a prescription strength moisturizer – without a prescription!

How to wear Colour Mascara?
February 12, 09
Want to make your coloured Mascara really pop?! Here are a few easy steps:
Do the tightliner technique. Apply a black eyeliner pencil right in between your lashes.
Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler
Apply a white mascara as a base coat – this is a really important step - as it helps to make the colour of your mascara stand out!
**I like the white mascara that comes with the L’oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes – it works great as a base and lengthens your lashes at the same time!
Apply a few coats from root to end of your coloured mascara on top of the white base. And, voila – beautiful lashes in minutes!
My favourite Mascara: Yves Saint Laurent – Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils. It comes in 7 great shades!
My favourite shade (besides the black): #4 Fascinating Violet

“Stay Active, Stay Focused and StayPut”
February 10, 09
Do you ever find yourself in the middle of a good work-out, when all of a sudden you notice that your hair clip or elastic is slowly making it’s way down your back?! lol
Well, now Goody offers ‘StayPut’ hair accessories – which offers a patent-pending technology that provides more hold than traditional accessories – to help you “Stay Active, Stay Focused and StayPut”. ”It’s Activewear for your hair that works as hard as you do!”
So, I decided to put them to the test! I called upon my two athletic sisters – Kristina and Jessie – to wear them for a week while taking notes! Take a look at some of their Pro’s and Con’s:
Kristina: ”Hold’s hair tight, even when running; will not slip from your hand when trying to put in a ponytail…however, when removing them, they pull on your hair…not very enjoyable”
Jessie: ”I really liked these elastics…but they were hard to remove”
Kristina: ”Holds hair tight and in place, even when running! Would definitely continue to use these.”
Jessie: ”For the amount of hair the clips hold onto they work great and don’t slip or let go. I used these while skipping and they didn’t even move…however, I have longer (thin yet thick hair), and I found this didn’t quite hold enough of my hair – would enjoy perhaps a wider clip?”
Kristina: “I like how it’s adjustable, so it can fit any head size…however, I didn’t feel as though the rubberized interior really held the band tight enough on my head”
Jessie: ”Loved the adjustable strap – But found that it slipped a bit when doing a lot of movement like in my Ashtanga Yoga class.” (Take a look at the picture below of my sister Jessie wearing the Goody hair accessories while doing Yoga…I love this pic! Hi Jess!!)
So overall, their favourite Goody StayPut accessory: The Claw Clips!
