Scoops Kid Spa
A few weeks ago my family spent a weekend at Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Ontario. We enjoyed the weekend splashing in the waterpark, going down the water slides, wading in the wave pool, and getting massages at Elements Spa. One place my 4 year old daughter Kaly really loved was Scoops Kids Spa. She got pampered like a little princess and got her cute little nails did. Check out pics below of her experience!

Hot or Not: New Hollywood Hair Trend
The latest celebrity to dye her hair a funky colour is Glee's Diana Agron. What do you think of this new Hollywood hair trend we've been seeing lately? Is it HOT or NOT? Scroll down to see what I think.
Diana Agron: I'm gonna have to give her a NOT! She looks rather clownish in this pic and I don't think this really suits her image.
Kate Bosworth: Another NOT! Looks like she just dipped the ends of her hair in blue Kool Aid.
Katy Perry: HOT! If anyone can pull off colourful hair it's Katy. She's done it in the past and she's done it again. It suits her well.
Sienna Miller: I'm borderline HOT and NOT with this one. You can tell that the colour in her strands are a very suble pink. I think if she was more put together in the right picture she could definitely pull this off.
Lauren Conrad: HOT. I believe she started this trend not to long ago. The blue highlights are subtle and not too crazy. She still looks well put together.
What are you thoughts? Are they HOT or NOT?

iVi Scents Kandee Johnson Collection Review
I first heard of iVi Scents from a video I watched on Kandee Johnson's YouTube Channel. They were featuring a limited edition collection of bath products named after the famous beauty guru. I am a big Kandee fan so I just had to try them out. One thing that I should mention that I really like about the brand is that they are completely safe and do not contain toxins and chemicals that are bad for your skin. Oh and shipping to Canada was pretty fast might I add! Read on to see what I thought about the collection.
iVi Scents i Smell Soap - Birthday Cake ($6.99 USD)
This soap literally smells like birthday cake. As soon as I opened that package I just wanted to eat it! While using it in the shower I found the soap to be very creamy and it did not produce much of a lather. So what I did was rubbed it into my body puff and that got the lather going. I also like that it washes off well and doesn't leave a nasty residue on the skin. After using this soap I noticed that the smell of birthday cake lingered around in my bathroom. Every time I went back to use the bathroom throughout the day I could still smell it. It makes a wonderful air freshener!
Rating: 4.5/5 Only because it lacked lather using it alone with no puff
iVi Scents iShine Sugar Scrub ($14.99 USD)
I am sad to say that this is not my favourite product of the bunch. I don't really like the texture of the scrub as it is pretty hard to get out of the tub. I found that I was always scraping it out with my nails just to get it out. The scrub is infused with lots of sugar but I felt that it melted so quickly that I didn't even get a chance to really scrub it on. It just isn't a good exfoliator which is a downer because it smells so yummy. I also did not like that this left a residue on my skin which was hard to wash off. AND this is the most expensive of the collection. Such a total bummer! :(
Rating: 2/5 Just for it's healthy properties and yummy smell
iVi Scents iCing Body Frosting - Birthday Cake ($12.99)
Can we say OH EM GEE! This stuff is amazeballs! It's super thick and luscious but it doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy which I love. I love how it hydrates my skin and keeps it feeling soft all day long. I could slather this on over and over again because I love how it melts into my skin and it just smells so incredibly delicious! Gosh how many times did I mention "I love" in this paragraph? Seriously though, I really really love this stuff! Check out the pic below to see how thick it is. It doesn't even drip from the tub! Awesome stuff right?
Rating: 5/5 This stuff rocks!
Anyone out there get the collection or purchase anything from this company? I'd love to read your thoughts!
