I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes. Now I'm a believer. Let me first start with telling you that I've got skimpy, barely-there Asian girl lashes. For some reason, the boys in my family have been blessed with long, thick, lush lashes, and I was left with nada. Honestly, there's not much there. Trust me, I've tried almost everything in … [Read more...]
Getting Beach-Ready with Suncoat Girl!
Guess what? School's out for Summer! Living on Manitoulin Island, that means lots of beach and outdoor fun! With lots of beaches in every direction from us, we spend a lot of time outdoors.

Feelings on Aging #AgeDefy #BestBeautiful #PGmom

That's sun damage!" *Ooof* To be honest, the only part of my physical appearance that I actually really love are my … [Read more...]
Gettin’ All Dolled Up! Update Your Look for 2014. #PGmom
I'm not going to lie. My beauty regimen is not what it once was. Once upon a time, I wore heels to work. I carried an extra pair of sheer pantyhose in my purse. I woke up at 5AM to take a shower, blow-dry and style my hair, moisturize my skin, and apply make-up. I never walked out the door without my hair all done up, my make-up flawless, and ready to conquer the … [Read more...]

Hubby and I agree on most things when it comes to parenting our sweet Little One. Well, except when it comes to all things girlie.He wasn't too keen on me getting Little One's ears pierced when she was 11 months old (8 months corrected). He wasn't too thrilled when he saw her adorable fingernails adorned with Piggy Paint either.He's a farm boy and isn't too keen on anything … [Read more...]
