Don't Forget to Pamper Yourself!

As a woman you are always caught up with everything going on you forget to take care of yourself! We always seems to have trouble spending money on ourselves as we are worried about everyone and everything around us. That is what Pinterest is for :) I have some home made pampering hair, face, nail, and feet masks and scrubs.

Turmeric face masks:
-Turmeric has many health benefits when consumed in foods such as cancer fighting qualities and retaining elasticity, etc. It also has brightening and acne clearing qualities when used in a face mask, and it even helps to whiten teeth!

Turmeric + Honey                  Turmeric + Lemon + Honey

Coffee Scrubs:
-Coffee helps remove dead skin cells and if applied to areas on the body with cellulite it can help to reduce the look of it. Now you have an use for the coffee grinds leftover from the coffee machine!

Coffee + Olive Oil + Plastic Wrap
Apply this mixture to areas on the body with cellulite and wrap with plastic wrap to help it absorb better into the skin

Coffee grinds + Cocunut oil
This makes for a great face mask it removes dead skins cells but the coconut oil keeps the skin hydrated.

Hair Masks:
-When it comes to hair masks I always stick to either olive oil or coconut oils to help strengthen and nourish my hair and scalp, but here are some other natural hair masks.

Teeth Whitening:
-My sister's wedding is coming up in May so I have searching for some natural teeth whitening solutions that I can use everyday.

Turmeric
As I mentioned before turmeric has teeth whitening attributes and is good for overall mouth health. Just put water and turmeric powder on your toothbrush and brush into teeth leave it in for at least a minute and rinse. **WARNING** Your toothbrush will turn yellow and stay that way, so you have been warned!

Toothpaste + Baking soda + Hydrogen peroxide
Okay this isn't considered all natural but it's all stuff I already had a home! I have been trying this mix daily and I am slowly seeing a change in my teeth, although I'd prefer the natural stuff.

Oil pulling
I haven't tried oil pulling (coconut oil is mostly recommended) but I have done my research about it. Oil pulling provide overall better mouth health by strengthening, whitening, and helping aid in gum healing. You have to be very careful not to swallow any of the oil entering your mouth! So what you do is you sip some coconut oil and swish it around your mouth for about two minutes and the oil gently cleans the surface of your teeth, tongue, and pulls food caught between your teeth.

Toys for Toddlers

Toys can be a crucial part of a toddlers development of the brain and the senses. My daughter recently turned a year old and loves to play and explore everything around her. Books can be a great way to stimulate the mind, my daughter often brings books from her playroom and gives them to me to read to her. Pointing to the words as you read will help them follow along I've caught my girl pretending to read a few times and pointing as she babbles. Monkey see, monkey do 🙈. I love when she picks up on things that I do and it helps you see that your little one is on the right track.                                          Boxes that helps babies identify and experiment with different shapes and colours helps children as well. It builds problem solving skills, allows them to explore, and concentrate on the task at hand. The red toy with the shapes has an outline of the blocks in the same colour they appear, it's a great opportunity to teach colours as well! These electronic bo

Happy 4th Birthday Malak!

January 26, 2019 Another year has flown by yet again, I can't believe you are 4 already and starting school in September! Every day that passes you are getting smarter than the day before and the things you say sometimes are absolutely amazing. I love you to the moon Malak and hope this birthday was everything you hoped for and more. Having just entered into my 9th month of pregnancy I knew this party would be a bit of a challenge nonetheless I didn't want anything to get in the way of Malak's birthday (since she talks about it all year). Thank God everything came together beautifully and Malak was a happy camper. This year Malak chose a Pokemon themed birthday party. I thought that it would be simple as its so popular now (again). The thing with Pokemon items is that they are expensive! But that's never stopped me before, I enjoyed a lot of the DIY games put together and early planning to avoid disappointment. I ordered plates, loot bags, napkins, banners, straw

Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

“Is this not a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love – that makes life and nature harmonize.” – George Eliot Oct. 11, 2020 For all those that have not been to Niagara Falls in the season of Fall, it is a must see. Go and absorb all of nature's beauty, you won't regret it. The day was spent with the most important people in my life, my family. Just being in each other's company was a blessing in itself and to enjoy my favourite season in a magical place was absolute perfection. We started our drive in Niagara on the Lake, the colours encompassing the atmosphere were truly captivating. Reds, oranges, yellows, brown and green of all shades covering trees, grass, bushes and all of nature's delight. We saw people walking, barbequing, renting and riding bicycles, and just enjoying the day together. The real estate in Niagara on the Lake closer to the bodies of water are stunning! Almost every home had a balcony which is now on my wishlist, I might invest a pr
