Local Love || LipStick Empire Laser Spa || What I’m getting done…

As you’ve seen from my Instagram Stories over the past few months I’ve been going to Lipstick Empire to pamper myself, do a few treatments on some challenge areas and be my best self. I’ve gotten so many questions about what I’m doing, why I’m doing it and how it’s going. So I thought I’d do a Laser Spa spotlight on Lipstick Empire.34B7DC0A-BD01-4D89-9E23-D20A5798E847

Let’s start with laser hair and tattoo removal. My husband has had one session for his tattoo and so far I haven’t seen to much of a difference. Mind you it’ll take several sessions to see results. So I’m saving that reveal for a later date. Let’s just say, it didn’t hurt as much as he thought it was going to, thanks to the numbing cream. And we have seen some fading since his appointment over a month ago. As for the laser hair removal, I’ve had three treatments and have already seen some results. I’ve started to see massive patching in my bikini line. My upper lip is almost completely hairless and my underarms have considerable less hair. My legs, as you can see from this photo are looking amazing! I’m guessing I’ll need two more treatments there. The average per area is 6 sessions. Please see more info HERE. The last question, was pain level. I’d say it hurt in different areas more compared to others but it’s over in seconds.

Let’s talk about the UltraShape™ treatments. They can be done on the abdomen, flanks, back, buttocks, arms and legs. I’ve been working on my stomach. After baby I was finding it difficult to get that area flat again. I had changed my diet and I’m active, it was frustrating. So I tried UltraShape™. It is a safe, efficient non-invasive body treatment that uses unique pulsed ultrasound technology to reduce fat in stubborn areas. By focusing ultrasound energy at a controlled depth, the UltraShape® treatment has the unique ability to mechanically and selectively destroy fat cells without harming the surrounding tissue. Measurable results can be seen in as little as 2 weeks. I got into jeans I couldn’t zip up before my treatments. AMAZING! See process and to book a free consult HERE. Continue reading

The Mealtime Toddler Struggle || Want to know my nutritious secret?

 

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Enfagrow A+® for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

 Fall mom style fashion edmonton bamboo ballroom how to wear a blanket scarf red chloe drew bag   Getting a toddler tornado to eat is not an easy task in our household. I swear it feels like Alastair is on a food strike most of the time, leaving me feeling worried about balanced meals and the nutrients he’s getting throughout the day. At least for me, he’s always on the move and doesn’t seem to have time for structured meal time. We struggle as a family to all sit and eat a meal for even 15 minutes because he just wants to play. The mom meal time struggle is so real for us. Because he just seems to happily snack throughout the day, I sometimes worry he’s missing out on balance nutritious meals.Fall mom style fashion edmonton bamboo ballroom how to wear a blanket scarf red chloe drew bag As a mommy of two, I know how important it is to give your child the best head start possible, and that includes nutrition. We have had success with Enfagrow A+ nutritional toddler nutria beverage as a great nutritious snack to get some extra nutrients into your toddler, including the ever so important DHA. If you visit www.enfagrow.ca, you can Sign up for FREE Samples. And the website is a great resource, with the informative Your Toddler Magazine and new video series designed to provide you with advice and pertinent information about life with your toddler. My favourite episode included some great tricks to help ensure your child is receiving important vitamins and minerals and how these nutrients (DHA is not a vitamin) contribute to your toddler’s growth like DHA and iron. They had menu ideas too!

As I mentioned previously this year, Enfagrow A+ has partnered with United Way. The initiative is simply, when you use the hashtag #EnfagrowMomsKnow on Instagram and Twitter to share your toddler stories, pictures, or advice with other moms and they will donate $1 per submission up to $5000 to United Way until November 30, 2017! It’s such an easy way to connect with real parents online and give back to a cause that matters.

Why not see if your toddler likes it? I love this easy, fast and nutritious snack.
