I grabbed it from @aidebodycare!

I’m really loving the @cricut cutaway card syste I’m really loving the @cricut cutaway card system! 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).

Getting Cozy for the Holidays with Orville Redenbacher’s

Can you believe that Christmas is just a few days away?! It honestly just feels like I was getting ready for fall just a few days ago! I think I have just been so busy this season that I have had hardly any time to just enjoy the Holiday season.

So this weekend, I forced myself to take some much needed time-out, shut off my email and relax and get in the Holiday Spirit, and Orville Redenbacher’s helped me out with that.

There’s just something about popcorn, PJs, a movie marathon and blankets on a cold winter’s night that is just so comforting. I really love those terrible made-for-TV Christmas movies. I mean, they are just so bad that they’re good! It’s kind of  a family tradition in my house to watch as many of them as we can with popcorn in hand during December.

I’ve always been pretty picky when it comes to popcorn, especially when it comes in a bag. We have a stove-top popcorn popper so I’ve been pretty spoiled with homemade gourmet popcorn, but sometimes you’re just not in the mood to make food and you just want to sit, eat and chill.   

 

 

Orville Redenbacher’s just came out with a new twist on Chicago style popcorn (one of my favs): Caramel and white cheddar… and I’m in love! I received a bag for free to test, and it’s seriously the perfect mix of sweet and savoury. It didn’t take me long to plow my way through the bag and I’ll definitely be running out to get some more bags soon!

Anyways, aside from made-for-TV Christmas movies, we also have a few Holiday favourites that are staples in this house and we watch multiple times throughout the season, my personal favourites are:

  • Elf
  • Love, Actually
  • Christmas with the Kranks
  • Jingle All The Way (another terrible but great movie!)
  • The Polar Express

The Polar Express is one of those movies that creeps a lot of people out because of the way it was animated. I won’t lie, it’s a little creepy but its one of my favourite Christmas stories. As kids, our dad would read us the book every Christmas Eve which eventually turned into us watching it as a family every Christmas Eve.

Does your family have any Holiday movie favourites and snack traditions?
