The Adventures of Steve - Day 7 through 12 #ElfOnTheShelf

Steve has been up to lots of mischief this week. But no matter what antics he finds himself a involved in, we love having him around.

After a long night in laundry basket prison, Steve likes relax with some crayons and trace the melty things. #stevetheelf #elfontheshelf #christmas2015

Today, Steve the Elf visited the great melty thing with his friends. He could hardly believe how high he had to climb to sit upon her shoulders. Later on, Steve thought to himself as he drank his candy cane hot chocolate... 'Is she the momma of the melty things?' ⛄️ #christmas2015 #elfontheshelf #stevetheelf

Game night tonight with the melty things! #stevetheelf #christmas2015 #elfontheshelf

Steve the elf was stuck and couldn't get out. He was trapped inside of a tiny birdhouse. The melty things giggled and pointed at Steve and proceeded to lather grease on his sleeves. One pull, two pulls, maybe even three. That's the number of pulls it took to free Steve. #Stevetheelf #christmas2015 #elfontheshelf

Review: Read My Lips Lipstick #teezings

I was really happy to be among those selected to receive the Teeez Trend Cosmetics Glamsense box from TopBox. I love trying out new products and makeup is fun.  

When the package arrived, I had to take a minute to appreciate the packaging. The Teeez Trend Cosmetics box itself, is lovely and I plan on reusing it as a container for all of my makeup brushes. The packing for the lipstick itself is a work of art. I appreciate that. The colour of the lipstick is stunning. I love red lipstick, it is my colour and this shade is perfect.

The application was a little more challenging. The lipstick is plenty smooth but does not apply easily. The easiest work around for this is to prep my lips with a tiny amount of balm. It glides on my lips like a skate on ice with a little balm.

The lipstick does last 8+ hours like the product promises. In fact, to test it out, I wore it for a few hours and then wore it to bed. When I woke up my lips were still red, not quite as red as they were when I went to sleep. But they were still pigmented and I had been wearing it for over 12 hours at this point. In case you are wondering, the lipstick stayed on my lips and not on my pillow. I think the trick was wearing it for a few hours first.

I discovered that it was a good idea to keep some balm on hand to hydrate my lips on occassion. It refreshed the look of the lipstick as well. In the end though, balm or no balm, I absolutely adore the Read My Lips Lipstick in Red by Teeez Trend Cosmetics.

Disclaimer: I received this product for free from TopBox and Teeez Trend Cosmetics for review purposes, as part of the Glam Sense program. All opinions are my own and are based upon my experience with the product. 

The Adventures of Steve - #ElfonTheShelf - Day 5 & 6

Steve and the snowmen made the tastiest of treats. Topped with butter, sugar and everything sweet. Now they will watch Steve's favourite movie, "Elf" - Day 5 - #elfontheshelf #stevetheelf #christmas2015

In the wee night time hours, things got pretty loud, when Steve the Elf ate all of the sugar he found. His poor snowmen friends knew just what to do! They locked Steve away in laundry basket prison for a night, or maybe two. #stevetheelf #elfontheshelf #christmas2015

The Adventures of Steve - Day 4 #ElfOnTheShelf

The Adventures of Steve - Day 3 #ElfOnTheShelf

Elf Steve needs more sugar! The snowmen would like some more "sweet snow" so they go sledding. Steve doesn't care about sledding. He wants to eat the sugar. #stevetheelf #christmas2015 #elfontheshelf

Zucchini Pizza Bites

I decided to make myself some Zucchini Pizza Bites, they were really easy to make. Because my youngest and I haven't been eating meat, I've been looking for alternative meals and snacks to make us. I also have a lot of zucchini in my garden to put to use. I gifted a couple to a friend a few days ago and she suggested that I make some zucchini pizzas. Since I had no pizza sauce on hand, I decided to use some salsa. I have to say that Newman's Own Black Bean & Corn Salsa is the BEST salsa I have ever had. You can read my review of Newman's Own Salsa here.

I oiled the pan, cut a few zucchini slices and then placed a dollap of salsa on each piece of zucchini. At this point you can add whatever pizza toppings you like. Since the salsa had so many great ingredients already in it, I opted to just add some feta. This salsa is so good, it's like chili. Seriously.

Isn't it pretty. The feta is Saputo brand. Love the way it crumbles.

I put them in the over until the bottoms were browned slightly. It took less than 10 minutes on 375. Just keep an eye on it, it depends on your oven. They turned out to be quite delicious. 

CBC Tapestry - Taking the Grim out of the Grim Reaper

While I was on my beach walk, on Sunday, I was listening to a really great broadcast on CBC's Tapestry, which is one of my favorite among many of the great shows that air on CBC.

The episode can be found here and talks about the psilocybin study being conducted at New York University. For those of you who are not aware, psilocybin is the active ingredient in Magic Mushrooms, it is a hallucinogenic and it is currently being studied for it's potential medical use, including it's use in terminal cancer patients facing existential distress.

One of the aspects that they touched upon during the episode was "Can Psychedelic drugs help ease the fear of death?'  It was interesting! They spoke with some of the participants that took part in the study.

While listening, I couldn't help but think of the shamans who guide people through their own experiences while they travel deep within the depths of their consciousness.

You can stream the entire episode here.

Sometimes, when the weather is just right, I love to stroll along the beach. Near my house I can easily access Port Maitland Beach. It's about an hours walk or 5 minute drive away. Closer still there is the Short Beach Breakwater, which has no sand. It is all rocks and it is about a 10 minute walk away from my house. That is where this picture was taken, while I listened to a live stream of CBC's Tapestry.

October 5th is World Teachers Day

There have been a few teachers who have greatly impacted me. My grandfather and a teacher I had when I lived in Nepean, Ontario, named Mrs. Ward greatly shaped who I am musically and as a performer. In high school, back in Nova Scotia, Mrs Churchill and Mr. Egan inspired me both helped inspired me artistically and as a thinker. I was graced with some amazing mentors while taking digital film making in University.

We've all had a teacher in our lives who have directly impacted and inspired us. Let's take a moment to say thank you to all of the educators make it their business to pass knowledge onto us.

Review: Newman's Own Salsa

Last month, I won one of Newman's Own Canada's Facebook giveaways and received a very generous prize pack filled with Salad dressings, Salsa's, BBQ Accessories and lots more! The prize pack was valued at $150. I'm very grateful to have received it. The products are of excellent quality. But what really sold me on the company? I found out that Newman's Own donates 100% of the profits earned after taxes to charity. That is a stand up company. To top it all off, one of my salad dressings had a leak in it and they immediately offered to ship me a new one. I'm just blown away.

All of the products are amazing, but I really want to focus on the salsa's that I received. All three were medium hotness, perfect for me. Even my husband, who aside from Sriracha sauce, doesn't care much for spicy, enjoyed the heat.

I thought that my favorite was going to be the Mango salsa. I love mangos! As a salsa, I found it a little too sweet for my taste. It is however great for dipping. I think the mango salsa would perfectly compliment certain recipes though.

The Original was delicious and I really enjoyed it with my nachos. It hands down beat pretty much every store bought salsa that I have tried to date.

The show stopper for me was the Black Bean & Corn salsa. This was so delicious and thick that it tasted like chili. I've been putting it on everything. I'm definitely going to buy this in the future. 

Check out Newman's Own Canada's website to learn more about the company and to see how much they have donated to charity to date!

Disclaimer: I received these products as the result of a giveaway I won on Newman's Own Canada's Facebook Page. They did not ask me to review their products. I did it because I'm really impressed with their products and the company as a whole. Keep up the good work!

Begging for Breakfast

Last week my youngest son decided that he wanted to take steps towards Vegetarianism. I decided that the best way to support him was to take these steps with him. I've been quite curious about the lifestyle myself and have some Vegan friends who are there for additional support and advice about healthy eating. 

My husband and other son are still eating meat but they have decided to incorporate more Vegetarian meals into their diet. 

Tyler and I decided that we will not eat red meat, or chicken but we are still at this time having small amounts of seafood on occasion. We are also still eating eggs and dairy right now, but will choose alternatives to eggs and dairy if they are available to us at the time. Baby steps, but I'm proud. He is a very compassionate child and I want to encourage him. 

The last week, I've been working on getting my eating and portions in check. For breakfast, each day, I've had Oatmeal, with plain Greek yogurt and frozen wild blueberries. I sprinkle chia seeds on top.

My furry companion was very interested in my breakfast this morning. He's a cute one. We could probably teach him circus tricks for food. He loves food.

Would you be willing to alter your diet for your children?

Review: Cinnamon Chex

Have you tried the Cinnamon Chex? I find that they are even more delicious than cinnamon toast crunch. They are made with rice flour, so they are Gluten Free! They also do not use artificial flavours or colours. That is important in my household because I have an allergy to Yellow #5. Also, I find artificial flavours and colours sacrifice the overall taste. 

New Cinnamon Chex is so delicious, the box didn't even make it down to the cereal cupboard. I kept it upstairs for a secret snack. Now I have to buy a second box, so the rest of the family can try it too. I eat it dry, it makes a great sweet snack. 

The side panel of the box has a bunch of recipes for things like "Tropical Chex Party Mix", "Spiced Nuts Chex Party Mix" and "Chex Cookie Pizza". I would love to try these recipes, None of them are listed on the website though, which is slightly unusual. Guess you have to buy the box to try out the recipes. Smart, I guess. Which one would you like to try?

Disclaimer: I tried this product for free because of a BOGO free coupon that I acquired from Save.ca and Life Made Delicious over the summer. No one asked me to review this product, I chose to because I really enjoyed the product and I wanted to share that with all of you. All opinions are my own and honest. Have a great day!
