Joe Fresh: Recent Purchases

Fall is fast approaching, so last weekend I started shopping for clothes for my daughter. I don't have another girl to pass down all of her clothes to her little sister. Due to this, I needed a whole whack of fall items since I have nothing. If you haven't shopped at Joe Fresh before, now is the time to start! Their clothes are absolutely adorable. Good quality and amazing prices.

What I love about Joe Fresh is that it's in my local grocery store. It's so convenient just to add those couple of items to your grocery bill and not have to go to the mall. Plus, it's a great way of hiding your shopping addiction from your husband on the credit card, lol!!!

They had a promotion online last week- spend $100 and get $20 off, so I jumped at that deal and bought all of these items:

 

Baby Girls’ Polka Dot Dress- $12

 

Baby Girls’ Polka Dot Tights - $5

 

Baby Girls’ Print Zip up Sweatshirt- $12

 

Baby Girls’ Cabbie Hat - $7

 

Baby Girls’ Denim Peplum Jacket - $19

 

Baby Girls’ Sweater Dress - $19

 

Baby Girls’ Stripe Applique Tee - $8

Baby Girls’ Applique Sweater - $12

 

Baby Girls’ Rose Jegging - $14

 

 

 

Baby Girls’ Faux Fur Vest - $24

 

 

I find some locations have a better selection than others so I would recommend purchasing everything online. Don't get me wrong- shopping in the stores is great too but I always find it easier to purchase online (when the kids are in bed!). I have a 3 year old and a 2 month old so if I do buy something in the store, it's when I am shopping ALONE.

 

 Anything over $50 you receive free shipping. If you ordered something in the wrong size or you just changed your mind once your item(s) got delivered you can return them at any Joe Fresh location.

Have a great week!

 

 

 

Review: Mabel's Labels + Giveaway!

This September my little boy starts pre-school. I can't believe how fast he is growing up- time is just flying by.

For the past couple of weeks I have been on the hunt for a new back pack, lunch bag, water bottle, clothes and shoes for when he starts school this fall. I want to make sure he doesn't loose any of the new things I just purchased so, I went online looking to find some labels that I could add to all the items to make sure they all arrive back home each day.

I came across Mabel's Labels. They create personalized labels for kids. I purchased the "Basic Kit" for $34.95 which they call an introduction to the Mabel’s product family. You get 24 Skinny- Minis, 42 Tag Mates, 8 Shoe Labels and 2 Bag Tags.

What I thought was really fun is, my son got to help me create his own design on his labels. You can choose from over 40 multi-coloured designs or 2 solid palettes. Building your labels on their website is very easy and straight forward- I didn't find it complicated or confusing at all.

 

These skinny-minis are micro sticky labels. They are dishwasher safe, microwave safe, UV resistant and very durable. Just peel and stick on school supplies, toiletries, toys and so much more.

 

  

The Tag Mats are washer safe, dryer safe and UV resistant. No ironing or sewing these labels onto your clothing- just peel and stick! So easy and convenient.

 

 

 The shoe labels are amazing as well. Very durable and waterproof. Just peel and stick to the insoles of each shoe.

 

 

 

The Bag Tags are waterproof and made of metal and come with a chain to attach to any backpack, sporting equipment or luggage.

 

I absolutely love these products. The quality is amazing. By having these labels on all of my son's school items this year I am sure he will never lose anything. All of their products are backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee so it's worth it to try them out and see how you like them. Trust me- you won't be disappointed!

Shark Theme Birthday Party!!

I had so much fun planning my son's 3rd Birthday Party this year. My husband says every year I should of went into party planning because I do such a good job in creating such a memorable event for our son each year. I love party planning- it is so much fun that I start 6 months in advance. Yes, you heard that right- 6 months!! It's a lot of work, so I always want to make sure I give myself enough time to buy everything and create it.

Lately, my son has a little obsession with sharks, so when it came time to start planning his party I asked him what theme he wanted and of course he said sharks! So I began my search on the internet for some inspiration.

All of these photos were taken by a Edeline Photography because I wanted to make sure I captured all the memories while enjoying myself and not having to worry about taking pictures. She did an amazing job and it was worth every penny!

 

 

 

 

 

I bought all the table cloths, plates, forks and napkins from Dollarama. I cut out "shark bites" on every plate due to the fact that I made sharks out of grey wrapping paper swimming on the tables. I also printed out little shark tags and attached them with curling ribbon to all napkins and forks.

 

 

 

 

 

For the food table, I made large shark cut outs using cardboard and grey wrapping paper. They were a lot of fun to make and super easy. To go along with the theme, I cut pieces of cheese to look like "Shark Teeth" and I had water bottle and juice box labels done in the shark theme as well from Pep Custom Designs  

 

 



 

 

 

 

Next we had a dessert table. I bought 2 shark boogie boards from Michaels to use as a back drop. I made a watermelon shark which I found a tutorial on YouTube on how to create it. I bought all the candy from Bulk Barn and put them all in clear plastic jars and added name tags which I purchased from Pep Custom Designs. The cake was made by yours truly. :-)

 

 

 

I wanted to make sure I created loot bags that were somewhat theme orientated, so I went with an outdoor beach them. I purchased pails (Blue for the boys and Pink for the girls), shovels and sharks sand molds (for the boys) and fish sand molds (for the girls) from Walmart and I also added a bottle of bubbles to each pail that I purchased from Dollarama. For each bottle of bubbles, I added bubbles labels from Pep Custom Designs. Then I printed off little shark cut outs from the internet and added each child's name to the pail.

 

 

 I hired Balloon Twistaroo to come in and create "underwater creatures" for the shark theme party. He was amazing! He made one big shark for all the kids to look at and get pictures taken with, and he  created shark hats for all the them to wear. He also made fishing rods with fish on the end, octopuses, turtles, sting rays, crabs and so much more.

 

Most importantly, my son had a blast, so to me all that hard work was all worth it. To see him having so much fun made me so happy. I can't wait to start planning his next Birthday Party! :-)

 

 

MySpa + Giveaway!

Looking for a new spa to try out? If so, you must check out MySpa located in Pickering. 

This spa is amazing! They are so professional and friendly too! They offer Skin Treatments,  Manicures, Pedicures, Massages, Hair Removal, Makeup Applications and more.

 

 

 

 

If you ever need to get your eyebrows waxed- Rosanna is awesome! I have been going to her for years. She books up pretty fast so I would definitely pre-book your appointment. I have also gotten  skin treatments there as well because I am in love with the Dermalogica line. My skin is very sensitive and I find all the Dermalogica products work great on my skin. They also have a Dermalogica Points Program. For every $15 you spend on Dermalogica products they give you a stamp on a points card and after 20 stamps you get $15 off any Dermalogica product. The line is a bit pricey but totally worth it! I have noticed such a difference in my skin from using the products.

 

 

They also have a Loyalty Program. For every $20 you spend on services, you get $1 back! You can use them at every visit or let them build up - it's up to you.

To top things off the location is absolutely beautiful. They are located at the bottom of Liverpool by the lake. So, maybe after your spa day you can take some time and enjoy the scenery with a nice walk on the boardwalk!!
