The cutaway card backings have adhesive so you just stick it into place and start cutting your design! The machine will only cut through the top layer, making it easier than ever to creat a custom card in minutes.

(Gifted) I recently received some products from @g (Gifted) I recently received some products from @go.picky and one of my fav skincare brands, @isntree, in exchange for my honest review. I really loved using each one of these  products, so I thought I would share my review here too. I noticed a difference within a few days of using these products and would recommend all of them! 

🌰 Chestnut AHA 8% Clear Essence:
The chestnut AHA essence is sensitive skin friendly, moisturizing and helps remove dead skin cells. This essence is very light-weight, refreshing, gentle and absorbs quickly. I have very sensitive skin and used it daily with no issues. 

🤍 TW-Real Bifida Ampoule:
This bifida serum strengthens your skin barrier, reduces wrinkles and brightens your complexion. It’s light-weight but still is packed with moisture. It also absorbs quickly and isn’t sticky. It left my skin feeling silky smooth and glowing. It also layers with other serums nicely.

🌿 Mugwort Calming Cream:
The mugwort cream is incredibly calming, moisturizing and great for acne-prone skin. It feels soothing upon application. It’s not greasy or too heavy, and a little really goes a long way which I loved. I‘ve been using these products as part of my nighttime routine, but this cream absorbs quickly as well and would layer nicely with other products or under SPF.

I love my @cricut Joy! One of my fav things to mak I love my @cricut Joy! One of my fav things to make on it is cards. Cricut recently launched a new card system, Cutaway Cards, and I just ✨had✨ to try it out!

They’re different from Insert Cards in the sense that you’re no longer required to design with stencil images and fonts, so you can avoid tiny, floating pieces. This means you can use almost any image in the library to create a card! The backing actually has adhesive, making it easier than ever to stick it into place.

If you want to learn more about it, there are a few posts all about it on my blog (link in bio).

Daytrips: Terre Bleu Lavender Farm

This is a post that is long over due. Last summer, my mom and I went on a daytrip to Terre Bleu lavender farm in Campbellville, (Milton area) Ontario. I actually first learned about this place at a Facebook conference where the owner was one of the guest speakers. (For curious minds, his topic was his success with Facebook Advertising’s options for small businesses.) Ever since I saw the photos of the lavender farm I was dying to go – and lavender is my mom’s favourite, so it was a no-brainer to take the trip with her.


Located about an hour and a half away from Durham Region, or about an hour from Toronto, Terre Bleu really is a little slice of heaven. Lavender farms are hard enough to find in Ontario, and they grow 5 different types of lavender on the farm! Another fun fact is that they have only been open to the public for three years, and it’s still always busy, no matter what day of the week it is.

You can wander around the entire farm on a self-guided tour, or you can also go on a guided tour! Sights to see aside from the lavender fields include the lavender distillery, the honey bees, horses and the gift shop.
 
They have a wide range  of special events too, including Yoga, concerts and massages in the fields, demonstrations, art exhibitions, equestrian events, creative retreats and more. While the majority of their events do take place in the Spring/Summer as they are only opened seasonally, there are also occasionally events during the off season, such as the Christmas Pop-Up Shop. I found that a great way to stay up to date on events is to subscribe to their events on Facebook, because it’s not exactly something that you would think to look into during the off-season.
 
If you’re sitting here thinking walking around a lavender farm isn’t your thing, I promise there is much more to do and enjoy than that.

For my fellow foodies, Terre Bleu offers a wide range of lavender infused gourmet products that you can purchase to enjoy while you’re there, or take home. I’m talking about lavender ice cream, lemonade, honey (made from their very own honey bees!), french macarons, truffles, syrup, jams and more.
 
You can also grab a wide variety of bath & body, home and miscellaneous lavender products; my personal favourite was the lavender bath bomb. (What can I say, I love a good bath bomb!) Another one I really loved was the Terre Bleu teddy bear (photo above) – this little cuddly guy actually comes with a sack of dried lavender that you can place inside.  In aromatherapy, lavender is commonly used to aid stress and anxiety as it has a calming effect; the idea behind the teddy is that it’s snuggles can help provide some relief.
 
Some other items include body lotion, soap, aromatherapy items, lavender oil, plants, displays and wreaths, just to name a few.

Keep in mind that because Terre Bleu is only open seasonally, there’s only a little while longer to visit it this season! I’m hoping to make another trip before the end of the season myself.
 
Have you ever been to a lavender farm before? Let me know what one if so. If not, it’s definitely a must-do!

Friday – Monday, 11am to 4pm, June to September
