I'm one of those people that thinks feet are pretty gross, so showing photos of my feet isn't something I'm really comfortable with but sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

As you can see, after only 2 applications, my feet look completely rejuvenated in the after shot. The product claims visible results in 3 days, which would be 6 applications (using am and pm). I saw results after just one use (photo taken after 2 uses - am and pm).

Prior to testing out this balm, I used body lotion on my feet every day after I shower. Clearly, body lotion is not enough for my feet!

After using the Flexitol Heel Magic, my feet look and feel so soft. The results are truly like magic. It's like I had an expensive, time-consuming pedicure with just a few swipes of the Heel Magic!

The best thing is how quick and easy it is to get healthy and younger looking feet! Yes, even feet look younger, as you can see, with hydration!


This is a product that I will always keep in my arsenal. And, I'll be getting one for my scaly foot partner too. I can't recommend this product enough!

Flexitol has many other speciality skincare products. After my experience with their Heel Magic, I definitely want to try out some of their other products, especially the lip balm! You can check out their products at the link below.

Available at London Drugs, Rexall Pharmaplus, Walmart and more!

How To Heal A Canker Sore Quickly!


When I was a kid, I got canker sores all the time. I really haven't had any as an adult... until recently. I really believe that my recent canker sore was caused by exfoliating my lips too aggressively. Lesson learned.

My canker sore wasn't healing. It was painful, annoying and very unattractive as it was on the inside of my lower lip. Eating was difficult as I kept biting it and making it worse. So, I scoured the internet looking for a solution.

I took zinc tablets to boost my immunity, tried honey, sipped chamomile tea, and even left the cooled tea bag on the sore in an attempt to heal it more quickly but nothing was working. It wasn't healing at all and I was getting worried.



Then it dawned on me, coconut oil is excellent for oral health. It's also antibacterial..... After applying coconut oil to my cold sore a few times a day as well as before bed, it felt better and began to shrink and heal very quickly. Within 3 days my canker sore was completely gone!

I always recommend cold-pressed, organic, non-GMO extra virgin coconut oil.

If you decide to give this a try, while you're at it apply some to your hair, it will definitely thank you!

So, if you or your child runs into one of those annoying canker sores, try healing it with some coconut oil. If it's a chronic problem, look at ways to boost immunity.

*Don't use the coconut oil if there are any known allergies. As always, I recommend checking with your healthcare practitioner.

Flavoured Liquid Coconut Oil by Nature's Way #review via Social Nature


I was fortunate enough to get to try this flavoured liquid coconut oil free from socialnature. Social Nature is a product sampling community focusing on natural products.

I love my coconut oil and use it daily; whether I'm putting it in a smoothie or cooking or baking with it. But, in the colder months it turns solid and being kind of lazy, I find it a pain to melt it before using it in my smoothies and recipes. So, I was quite happy to hear of a liquid coconut oil that will save me from this tedious step.

So far, I am really having fun with this coconut oil. I love that it's in liquid form so I don't have to melt it before adding it to smoothies or baking recipes. I have the Raspberry flavour and so far I have been adding it to chocolate smoothies, fruit smoothies and my weekly black bean brownie recipe. I plan on using it in a salad with some spinach and strawberries too. The possibilities are endless. I love the flavour and the convenience. Now I want to try all the flavours! It's non-Gmo too!


Product Deets:

  • Premium Liquid Coconut Oil
  • Choose from 5 delicious flavours
  • Alternative to butter, margerine or vegetable oil 
  • Ideal for salad dressings, sauces, dips & drizzling on popcorn
  • Made with expeller pressed, Non-GMO coconuts
  • Cold Pressed, Unbleached, Unrefined
  • Non hydrogenated, zero trans fats, hexane free, no solvents
  • Stays liquid - even when refrigerated
If you have any recipes that you think this flavoured coconut oil would work in, please comment below, I would love to experiment some more with other recipes.

I received this product free for trial purposes from socialnature, all opinion are my own.

Day 2: #lipstickleague Photo Challenge: Current Hair Care Love


Today is day 2 of the #lipstickleague photo challenge. Today's challenge is to post our current hair care love. Here is a link to the original post for the #lipstickleague May photo challenge including the chart with the challenges as well as who are the #lipstickleague? if you're curious. ;)

I thought I would do a quick blog post about it since it's beauty related and I really want to share this one with those who may not have Instagram.

My current hair care love is North American Hemp Co's "Never Too Late to Repair Deep Hair Treatment Oil" I bought this on the recommendation of a friend. I use this oil every time I wash my hair.  Regardless of whatever styling products I decide on, I mix this in with it which helps it to spread throughout your hair more easily since it's a blend of oils and not a silicone based product.  Unlike other oils that sit on the hair, this one really seems to penetrates the hair, and my hair is healthier from using it. I only use 1 pump, a little goes a long way! You can use it on wet or dry hair but if your hair is fine use very little. I imagine this would also be great on thick or ethnic hair types.

Directions: Add a little to damp hair for shine that lasts all day. Leave on overnight for the ultimate hair and scalp rejuvenation, for tomorrow’s brilliant frizz-free style.

Ingredients: Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil, Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) seed oil, Sesame (Sesamum indicum) oil, Cocos nucifera (Coconut) oil, Olea europaea (Olive) fruit oil, Orange (Citrus Aurantium Dulcis) Oil Flavour

I found mine at a Winners or Marshalls for only $6.99.

What hair products have you been loving?
