With 3 kids, shopping is a bit of an exercise in frustration. So I have become quite the savvy online shopper and usually manage to find some really great deals. I especially love it when you I find a Canadian online store, get free shipping or coupons for free stuff or 75%.
Well.ca is one I discovered recently and has much of the same products you would find in your London Drugs, but I can shop online 24/7, so the stress of shopping with kids is gone and shipping is free, it saves me the cost of gas and it is delivered relatively quickly. Last order came within 3 days of ordering it and it comes to my door, not to the post office!! YIPPEE!!
They have a great all natural section so there is a large variety of products to choose from in this area which I love! Did I mention I found an all natural fantastic deodorant...more about that in another post.
Where are your favorite online shops to find great deals??
Until then, I humbly suggest you check out Well.ca too!
I love to craft and discover new things, sometimes re-discovering neat old things too. I create and design cards for everyday occasions. Here, I like to share my thoughts, ideas and inspiration with anyone that is interested in reading about them. Oh and I have 3 kids that really keep me busy and always looking for new creative projects to keep them entertained.

Summer Fun With Your Toes
Summer fun is all around right now. One of my favorite things is getting to paint my toe nails. Lucky for me I have 3 girls who love to try out new colors too. I have always been a bit of a nail polish freak and collected many colors through my teen years. My friends fondly remember me as the one with all the different fun nail polish colors. Purple is my favorite, but in the summer time I like to wear them all and have fun with the different colors.
I recently embarked on some research about nail polish as I find that when I spend an hour in the bathroom doing our nails, I get a pretty good headache by the end of it. Of course I have been aware of the harsh chemicals that are contained in many of the familiar brands, so I was on a mission to find odorless, environmentally friendly nail polish....is there such a thing?
YES! I was pleasantly surprised to find many options, although most are sold only online or limited retailers in Canada. Some are very thin, take several coats to get the color right and some come off with hot water...peel off, not so good if you paint them and then have a bath later that day...or do the dishes. I have definitely found a favorite!
PIGGY PAINT! It is water based and is environmentally friendly, it doesn't have any odor, comes in really cool colors and paints on much the same as regular nail polish and lasts comparable to my regular OPI or SH polishes. Yes this product was designed by a mom!! AND...if any of my dd or I or the cat spill a bottle, I can wipe it up with water, no damage to any counter or flooring. (I do recall spilling a bottle in my room when I was 10, cleaned it up, but the damage was done...only recently did my sister refinish the wood cabinet that I had nicely destroyed with nail polish and remover way back when..).
I highly recommend this product, it does cost a bit more, but definitely worth it when you think about the damage that other brands can do to your nails, the environment, a small price to pay to keep the fun of summer toes colorful and happy! Check them out! So many cool colors and some great new "mom" colors too!
