Gift TOMS Products to Loved Ones

I love TOMS products because of their quality, and most importantly their initiative to help others. In 2006, American traveler Blake Mycoskie befriended children in a village in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need.

Get Ready for Winter with Clothing for Women at Marks

Although many of us might be in two minds about winter, I think being prepared for it is important. The T-Max Maximum thermal insulation gloves provides maximum warm without the bulk. I like that these gloves are durable, lightweight, and provide comfortable warmth. Since it uses hypoallergenic material and is easy to care because it can be washed and dried, I think this pair of gloves is an excellent choice for cooler weather. 

Children's Coccoli Clothing

I love the children clothing that is available at Coccoli. Coccoli is a high-quality clothing brand for children 0 to 10 years old. This 20 year old Montreal based company led by mother and son duo of Marian and Francois Vachon is widely recognized for making clothing for newborns that is comfortable.

I like the exceptional quality and the comfort of the distinct pediped® styles.

Repairing Hand Cream and Lip Balm by La Roche-Posay

My family and I have been using La Roche-Posay products and like the results of it, especially the Lipikar Baume AP+. La Roche-Posay is the number 1 brand recommended by dermatologists. The Cicaplast Mains and Levres are now available in Canada. These two products are must-haves for the fall as the weather begins to change and our skin begins to start feeling more tight and dry.

Gift Ideas for the Holidays

During a couple of fun holiday events, I checked out a few products that would be wonderful to give to family and friends. Hope this will inspire you when you start your holiday shopping! The beautiful collection of mala beads and accessories available at Tiny Devotions would make meaningful gifts for those you love that are interested in wellness, yoga, spirituality, and fashion. 

Take Care of Your Body with Evolution of Smooth

My family and I checked out a variety of Evolution of smooth or eos products that are made in the USA. I like how the eos shave cream brightens and evens the skin tone. The natural shea butter and vitamin B3 in the shave cream nourishes and softens the skin.

Both my children have been enjoying their Snappy towels in a variety of occasions. Since the towels are personalized, these towels have become really special to my children. They love all the things they can do with the towels from turning it into a super hero cape, princess robe, wings, hooded towel, poncho, blanket wrap and more.

UNEEK Sports Sandals

UNEEK is the latest innovative concept from KEEN. Its design is simple, as it only features two cords and a sole. I love that it is comfortable for long wear, and is very light and airy. The non-stretch, water repellent polyester cords in the sandals perfectly hugs to the natural shape of our feet allowing us to easily flex and move; when we remove the shoes we can see the imprints of the cords for a few seconds :) 

Win Your Own Pair Shoe/ Sandal from Yengo

I have been enjoying a stylish pair of Jambu Sandal from Yengo. Yengo has a variety of different brands of shoes from around the world on their site. They have been in Canada for over 60 years, and know about the importance of quality and fit. Since their motive is to make comfortable and stylish footwear available for Canadians, their customer service representatives are very helpful by phone, text or email so we can ask them our shoe related questions.

Reversible Hats for Children and Women

Summer is an exciting time for everyone in my family because we get to be outside a little more and enjoy the sunshine. Although, being outdoors is fun, it is important that we take precautions and keep ourselves protected from the UV rays. I have been looking for cute sun hats for my children, and was super excited to check out the really cute reversible Flapjack Kids hats, as well as the fabulous women's reversible hat from Luvali Convertibles. 

Helly Hansen Women's Clothing

I am excited the weather has become warmer. I enjoy going on walks when the weather is warm. Although, it is sunny, but slightly windy I enjoy wearing my Helly Hansen training kit for walks. I love this black active training pants because it is relaxed fitting. This comfortable, lightweight pant has an elastic waistband with an adjustable cord, and side pockets. These pants have become my favourite because they are perfect for walks and casual summer outings.

Hydrophobic T-Shirt

We really like this Cavalier Hydrophobic T-shirt from Threadsmiths based in Melbourne, Australia. The t-shirt is made using 100% cotton with a patented hydrophobic nanotechnology application that repels dirt and liquids leaving the surface of the fabric crisp, dry, and without stains for up to around 50 washes. 

Helly Hansen Junior Stoneham Jacket and Padded Mittens

Having a warm, comfortable jacket is very important to survive the extreme winter. My daughter loves how warm and lightweight this jacket is. I love how it looks, and its fabulous features. Primaloft InsulationECO in this Helly Hansen Junior Stoneham Jacket makes this jacket really warm, soft, and lightweight, so the jacket can be worn comfortably for a long period of time. 

CashTouch Plaid Scarf

I enjoy wearing scarves and always go for different colours that compliment my clothes. From the time I bought my first cashmere scarf in Singapore a few years ago, I always look for that special soft scarf that feels good against my skin. When I touched and felt the CashTouch Plaid Scarf in Macbeth Tartan from Lands' End, I instantly felt good about how soft and comfy it is. This super soft, lightweight, cashmere-like scarf is a perfect accessory for the cold Canadian winter.

Must Have Travel Products For Our Outdoor Adventures

This iPod or iPhone 5 sleek E-Case with access to the headphone jack allowed me to experience complete functionality even when it was raining outside because of its waterproof protection. The waterproof SealLock zipper guarantees protection from all the elements. This e-case allows the phone to withstand for 30 minutes when it is submersed into 1 meter of water.

Keeping Our Body Warm with a Baselayer and Hydrated with Platypus

This Platypus Soft Bottle is perfect to take with us anywhere we go to keep us hydrated. This awesome Platypus Soft Bottle has a dual-valve Hyperflow cap that allows us to easily bite to drink, and control the flow of the water. I like that we don't have to bite the valve hard, and even if anyone bites the bottle it does not get bite marks even when it is bitten on. If we do bite it hard, it could cut off the flow of the water. The travel valve shuts down when we twist it, so the water does not leak when the bottle is under pressure.
