I have to admit I've never tried a blush stick before and I liked it more than I expected. Totally awesome for my makeup bag in my purse!
It goes on like butter (fun) and is light and creamy. I found the colour quite subtle actually (I guess I wear my blush on the stronger side) so I think it's great for an every day natural look, but I'd still stick with my regular blushes for my night looks.
Totally convenient though and fun to use. I'd recommend it as a simple go to product.

What I liked: That you could control the intensity of colour by layering the lacquer. As far as drying out your lips, it was on the better end of the spectrum. That it doesn't stain your fingers!
What was ok: the length of time it stays on your lips. It wears for about 3 hours and then needs to be reapplied (for me at at least).
What was meh: I wasn't crazy about the colour (keep in mind I was given a free sample so I might have picked a different colour for myself). I think in large part because it's not the look I usually go for. It was very pink on me and felt a bit much for a daytime look (but like I said, I was able to tone it down by rubbing it in so that was ok). If you like the bold pinkish red look (think mod with dark hair) it would be an awesome product for that look.
I would buy it again in a different shade.

I received this product free for testing purposes from ChickAdvisor.
Pros: The wand covers my lashes well and it doesn't clump easily. If I'm really layering it, it might clump a little but overall the coverage is good. The mascara stays on all day (and night if I don't wash it off) and doesn't flake at all. I liked the look it creates for me and the fact that it doesn't look like overkill.
Cons: I'm not sure what I think of the double wand. I don't usually put mascara on my lower lashes. It is a subtle colouring though, so it works. Smell. I'm not crazy about the smell and I find it a strong smell (enough for me to notice every time I'm putting it on). If I forget to use product to take the mascara off, it sometimes feels sticky and leaves my lashes feeling heavy and tacky (though this is really a end user issue, not a product issue).
Overall I liked it. The cons were not so big as to deter me from buying it again and it works better than a lot of mascaras I've tried. Added bonus, while I might not be big on putting mascara on my lower lashes, the 2nd wand is great for thickening the overall coverage.

Extra Tall Wide Span Gate

It was pricey but necessary because we have a really wide staircase. A little cumbersome to put together but once you get the hang of it, it works well. I won't say it works great because the tension system means that the gate feels a little loose at the top. My son keeps trying to climb it and so far it's held long (in the time it takes for me to come remove him). But I'm a little worried about it as he gets bigger. (That said, the gate is a deterrent, not a replacement for safety, so...). It was worth the money. -

I was on the fence about these wraps until I tried them. I won't lie. They are a bit of work to put on. BUT I love that I can put them on an forget about them for almost 2 weeks. I'm really tough on my hands and normally my nail polish is ruined in a day. So these are an awesome fix! Also love that they're not crazy toxic! -
Bare Escentuals Feather Light Mineral Veil
I know a lot of people love this product but I cannot stand how chalky it leaves my face feeling. It makes me look washed out and feels gross. It's a no for me.

Starbucks
Great go to for coffee on the go. I'm a coffee snob so Timmies isn't going to cut it for me. For a quick coffee, Starbucks is my place.

Arbonne FC5 Deep-Cleansing Mask
Arbonne products are pricey but good quality eco care for the body. I'm not crazy about the MLM but the product works well and leaves my skin feeling clean and soft afterwards. It feels gentle, yet very effective.

ERGO Heart2Heart Infant Insert - Natural
The infant insert is great for younger babies but it gets really hot and isn't ideal for warmer weather/climates. If your little one is under 4 months during a colder winter, I'd totally recommend it because otherwise the ergo is just too loose.
