    We’ve got you Covered

    Ever wake up, look at your eyes and think, I could look a little more… fresh? It’s happened to the best of us, concealer is a must-have in the beauty bags of myself and all of my closest ladies, but we all know that mid-day there’s always that need for a touch up… only to continue the same routine day after day, after day.

    Well my good friends at CoverFX have created a solution for every woman’s under eye problem, introducing EyePrep FX. It is a extremely light eye primer for all of your eye needs. The thing that I love about CoverFX is that it not only has incomparable coverage but it also heals and corrects the problem that you are experiencing. “EyePrep FX is a cosmeceutical eye smoothing formula with clinically proven anti-aging benefits”… it heals!!! There are ingredients including Eyeliss that specifically works to reduce the appearance of puffy eyes by eliminating excess fluids & reduce inflammation; & Haloxyl, an anti-aging ingredient that encourages recovery of natural pigmentation.

    EyePrep FX tightens and firms with long-term effects, it softens and keeps skin hydrated. But, it also binds make up so there are no creases, it lays and maintains a smooth palate for your make-up! And… launching tomorrow (September 7th) to September 11th, is the ‘Eye Spy With my Big Bright Eyes’, an international treasure hunt. For more info click HERE.
    Last week I met with other bloggers to learn about this amazing product and share our experiences with CoverFX and the thoughts were unanimous, we all love the brand. Below are some pics from the night, so enjoy.
    CoverFX & EyePrep FX can be found at Shoppers Drug Mart, Jean Coutu, The Bay, Sephora (Canada: Nation-wide)

    Michelle Shaprow

    This songbird is both beautiful and intelligent. I don’t know what to call her genre of music.. i think it’s called… dance? Gentle Jazz?  I am not 100% sure but her lyrics are soft and her melodies are perfectly ambient and is a refreshing break from top 40 music.  She is 24 yrs old and graduated from YALE majoring in psychology, music and cognition. My kinda girl!





    She is DEFINITELY not mainstream yet and will absolutely blow up so you can get on it first here… 🙂  She is from LA and has a Facebook page but a protected Twitter (with 300+ followers). I read this interview on here while researching for this post. I love her track FERRIS WHEEL.  What do you think?



    Her inspiration comes from artists like Imogen Heap, Jamiroquai, Erykah Badu, Bjork, Jill Scott…. and she loves the energy of Gaga and Drake.  She will be a common household name soon so keep a look out for Michelle Shaprow!

    Fitness for LIFE ♥

    “We have a mission to make wellness accessible to everyone… Yoga reduces stress, improves sleep and alleviates the aches and pains… It also boosts energy levels and increases strength and flexibility while giving you a glow”– Prana co-founder Yumee Chung

    Calling all my students, (or those that are tired of paying out the wahzoo to stay in shape or maintain their well being), I got something for ya! After paying for tuition, books, partying, RENT, most of us don’t have the money to spend gazillions of dollars on a gym membership. For those of us that love or are interested in yoga, getting all the classes you want and need will burn a big ass hole in your wallet. If you’re sick of your regular gym routine, or maybe you just want something different; Passport to Prana is the solution we’ve all been looking for. 

    It’s a discounted yoga program that offers passport holders a chance to try their city’s best yoga studios for a FRACTION of the usual cost. These multi-yoga studios passports, operate in eight major Canadian cities, and are hands down the best yoga value out there!

    So how does it work? For example, buy the Toronto Passport ($30), and enjoy one free class at EACH of the 68 participating yoga studios in the GTA. Wowie!

     

    These passports are also available in certain American cities, including; San Francisco, New York, Seattle, Boston, Philadelphia, Portland, Dallas, Denver and Chicago. GET YOURS!

    For more info on these amazing passports, click here!

    Peace and Love

    ♥Bella♥

    ps: Have a blessed September!

    Let’s talk about STRESS

    I think that this time on the calendar is one of the most stressful times in a year, the time of year (in Toronto at least) when the heat cools down and the calm, ‘lax, lifestyle becomes the time to analyze what’s next and drive harder than ever before. All positive vibes, no doubt, but with this positivity… also tends to come… STRESS! I’m not going to pretend, myself included, so I decided to look into some ‘stress relievers’ and of course here are some good ones for you… xo

    YOGA – I love yoga, I use it, it works, try it

    SEX – quote: “women exhibited less of a stress response after ‘positive physical contact’ with a partner”.

    EXERCISE – pick one, there are a million, may I suggest something that involves a bag?

    FOOD – always does wonders, in moderation

    TALKING – What woman doesn’t want to talk to someone they trust about the things that stress them out? If you are a one who doesn’t, please comment, and kudos to you 😉

    HERBAL SOLUTIONS – some enjoy tea, others enjoy natural enhalation… for the ideal candidate, this is a great de-stresser

    SLEEP – most of us, especially the hard working go getters, don’t get enough of this… depending on what decides enough is

    FUN – with all the stress that life throws our way, it always helps when we remember to have fun

    MASSAGE – all I say to this is “MMMmmm”

    Hope this helps Loves… xoxo
