New News | Goodbye for now

Hi there
As you can see I haven't posted on this site for many months. The reason why is that it is really hard to keep up two blogs at a time and so, for now, I have added some small reviews into my other site mixed with my usual content.

Procter & Gamble Products | BzzAgent

Hi everyone,

Cleaning is one of the hardest things for just when you think a product is working fine it isn't anymore. Some products are failures while others are lifesavers. Earlier this year I signed up at BzzAgent to try and review products for an honest review, and last month I was chosen for the Procter & Gamble Homecare campaign which was also my first campaign. I was so surprised and excited when the mailman came and delivered it. I received more than I expected and was ecstatic to put them to work.

Crayola Makeup!?!

Hello!
Wow, it's been quite a week! On Thursday and Friday, the temperature here was between 29℃-34℃, it was sweltering and, with the humidity, suffocating. Saturday and Sunday it went down but it was bearable and delightful, but on Monday it was 10℃ (!!!) and was raining. I honestly cannot understand the weather here in QC.
In other news, I was scrolling through my feed when I saw something very interesting that I had to read it twice: Crayola has a makeup line. You read that right Crayola, the arts & craft company, came out with a line of makeup that is in the shape of (guess what): crayons.

Will I become a Product Reviewer? | Musings

Welcome back!

For those that read my last blog post you obviously saw that I reviewed some products from Sample Source. After thinking long and hard about it I decided that maybe, besides travel and others, I could become a reviewer. I do love to try out new things, to express my thoughts and opinions and get an honest review. 
To be frank with you I have no idea how to start or how this is done. What do you think should I try my hand at this? Would anyone be interested in reading my reviews? 

I really hope this will work out and that I can handle/juggle everything that is in my life. Hope to hear back from you on this topic. 

Til next time,

Cami

Product Review Spring | Sample Source

Hi guys!
So it obviously has been a while (2+ months exactly) life has been busy, but I have kept up with my baking/sewing blog, here. You'll notice that there has definitely been a change in theme and colours.

So much has happened 50th & 13th birthday parties, anniversaries and so much more. Life has certainly been eventful.  
(Brace yourselves it's a long post.)
Last year I joined a website where a couple of times a year I answer some surveys and from those surveys, I can be eligible to receive samples in the mail to try.

Roman Holiday | Film Review



This is a review, what I thought, of a classic film. The Roman Holiday is something different from the generic romantic movies.

So a couple of days ago I got the flu and it was ugh. While laying on the couch not being able to do anything I came to the conclusion that I could just watch a movie, on Netflix that is. Roman Holiday is a great family film, but be wary of its different from most Hollywood movies.

A Carmen Miranda Style


I later noticed that I added the wrong blog site
*whoops*
So for the past couple of the days, I have become interested in the Spanish fashion style of 1930-60s. They involve platform shoes, high waisted pants, and overall colorful outfits. Essentially a somewhat Carmen Miranda style.

Carmen Miranda

For those that do not know, Carmen Miranda was a Portuguese-Brazilian actress and sambia dancer from the 1930s-1940s. Her style was the stereotypical dress style of her home city which was both good and bad. As her popularity grew her name soon became the synonym of frilly, off the shoulder tops, eye-catching turbans and overall exotic latin look. She was actually 5 ft tall and was the one to popularise the platform shoe. She was also in the 1940s the highest paid actress for a period.In March 1941, she became the first Latin American artist to print her feet and hands on the sidewalk of the Chinese Theater and to have a gold star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
This post is essentially about all the style of Ms. Miranda, for I feel most of her style is perfect for summer and for a day out.

The Colour of 2018: Ultra Violet

Hey hey!

It's February! Can you believe it, this month went by so fast. So far this year has been good to me and my family.  I have started eating healthier and also working out. My goal is to be able to run up the stairs without running out of breath.

Banff | Rockie Mountains

I have traveled across Canada in many unconventional ways and reasons. Today I will share my adventure with an iconic Canadian park. In August 2016, we had an appointment in Calgary, and so we took that chance to go to one of the loveliest places in Canada: Banff.

On the Way

We left GP on Thursday and spent most of the day driving across the province. The Alberta prairies are beautiful something of a western movie, cows, wheat fields and more.
Larter that afternoon we arrived at Red Deer, a city north of Calgary, to visit some friends that had moved there years ago. It was great seeing them again, and Red Deer is really pretty. It is really important to note that it is between Calgary and Edmonton, which does come in handy. We spent the night there, the next morning we said goodbye and we were on our way to Calgary.
We went to our appointment then spent the day 'shopping' in Calgary. I have to say that Calgary is HUGE. We got lost, could not find our location but we enjoyed the 'family' time. That night in the hotel one of the things that I dread happening happened. I was in the pool swimming, enjoying myself, when I get out and became suddenly aware that I got water inside my ears and could barely hear. That happened quite late at night so all the pharmacies were closed and we couldn't go out and buy anything. 
That was not a good night, I barely slept because (me being me) I was imagining my future as a deaf person, which as a person of hard of hearing might be a true fear. Either way, the next morning before we left for Banff my parents got something that, thankfully, helped.

Must Have Pair Shoes


Happy New Year!

How was your new year? We spent ours with family, friends, and food. The 3 F's.  
Now that the new year is starting I want to tell you about the must-have pair of shoes every fashionista should have. 

Flats 

Flats are the best shoes ever, I LOVE flats. They are comfortable, stylish, and very very versatile. Over the year I've had all types of flats, ones with bows, straps, glitter, beads you name it. Depending on the style they can even go with formal clothing. 


Sneakers

Comfortable, sportish are words that would define sneakers. Casual sneakers are something else they come in various colors and go with jeans, dresses, skirts and many. 
A fashionable sneaker is the perfect weekend shoe, pair it with jeans and dresses alike.

Sorry for the Delay

Happy New Year to all!

How were your new years? Did you spend it with the 3 Fs? Family, friends and food. We did, it was fun and the food was great. We did not arrive home until past 3am.

Sorry if I haven't been here, it's that its new years and I am trying to figure out things for this year and what not. I'll probably be back by next week. I am working on what to post this month, what styels are trending etc.

I will be back, do not worry. Now before I leave I leave you with a quote.
Til next time. 
Arrivederci!
