Crazy Weather

Ok so what was up with this storm today?? or should i say what has been up with this whole summer.  This summer has been SHIT! excuse me for being so blunt but come on we have not had a full week of nice weather yet.  It seems like all we get is rain or even crazy hail storms at times.  All i know is that i had a deadline to meet today and i only got my power back on at around 8:30.  It took them over 7 hours to get the power back on and for me to finally get my work done. This is the second time within a week that i have gone over 5 hours of no power in my area.  I know you must be thinking well you should have called Toronto Hydro, well i did.  Too bad all you get to talk to is a machine that says the following areas are down and dispatch has been sent out to take control of the problem areas.  Overall I'm happy that i finally have my power and i can get back to my normal routine.  It's funny how you don't realize how dependant you are until you go without electricity for a while.  I have no idea how they managed to entertain themselves back then.  Then again that must explain the large sized families with 5 or 6 kids lol.

DISTURBIA

Great new video by Rhianna

Best Self Tanner

OK so if you haven't tried this great product already what are you waiting for?? No really why are you just sitting there.  Working in the beauty industry i have tried tons and tons of self tanning products and they all do nothing against this bronzing beauty.  Jergens Natural Glow is finally getting all the attention it should.  So this is the 411 on the product.

It's a great moisturizer that not only hydrates but leaves your skin with a subtle bronzing affect. Your skin will appear 1 shade darker in just 3 days. Plus you will look tan NOT ORANGE. It's a bonus that it also doesn't smell awful like most products out there and you just wait a couple minutes for it to set in and your out the door.  Jergens also has this product available in various formulas so you can find the right fit for you! They even have one for firming now how great is that.

So my fair ladies, lets get that sun kissed look happening without all that sun damage worry.

Health Check symbol not all its cracked out to be

So I'm sure that all of you have seen it before that check mark on your grocery product that allows us to make healthier food choices when shopping. Is it really a healthier choice?? According to a special that aired last night on CBC news it turns out that heart and stroke foundation seems to be pulling the wool over our eyes when it comes to this so called healthier choice.  First thing that's wrong with the whole program is that not all foods are being taken into consideration when given the check. Only companies that pay to have their food given the seal of approval get a chance to bare this symbol.  So other companies that may have healthier options are not know to us because they are not paying into the system to be advertised in such a way. I don't feel that heart and stroke should be making money off of this and how accurate is it really when you are only looking at companies you have the big money to fork over to get more attention drawn to their products by the symbol.  It looks like just another marketing tool to draw more sales to certain food companies. 

When CBC took a look at other forms of food checks in the USA they found that under their rating system some companies wouldn't even receive a check at all for their products.   A certain company tested all products out of 100 and when for example macaroni and cheese would get our seal of approval under Canada's rating system they would only get 9/100. That's horrible and i don't think very highly of our health check system at all. Either we need to analyze our system a lot better and change it or get some new smarter dietitians not being bought off with money from these company's wanting the seal of approval.

In the end it pays to just look at the back of your products and check its sugar and sodium content and make the best health choice for you and your families. Because it seems like we are just getting the run around from heart and stroke who earned 2million last year alone from money given by companies wanting to bare the health check.

Shopping Day Ahead...

Ok so I'm looking for a cute lil dress for an event i have coming up. Here are some of my choices so far.
