Moments of Thanks #findlumia

Time is flying by and my children are changing, growing right in front of my eyes. Sometimes life becomes too busy and stressful that I forget to take the time to stop and realize how blessed my life is. I forget that there is so much good in my life to be thankful for.

This past week I have spent a lot of time reflecting about all of these areas in my life that I have to be grateful for. I decided to capture these moments with the Nokia Lumia 1020 and share these moments with you.

Here is just a small portion of all the things I am grateful for in my life.

This picture of my son’s bike holds so much for me – it’s not just a bike but a symbol of his strength and health. In this moment, my son is strong and able to use this strength to ride his bike, run and play soccer. God willing, he will remain this way and continue to grow and remain healthy.

I love being in and around the water. Water brings with it power and life. It can calm and bring inner peace.

I am proud to be Canadian! We are blessed to live in a country of freedom and peace.

You can view more of the my moments of thankfulness in my Google + album here. Over the next few weeks I will be using my Nokia Lumia 1020 to bring to you a different theme each week.

What are the little things that you are grateful for in life?

Disclosure: I received the Telus Nokia Lumia 1020 as part of participating in the Finding the Story Within Challenge.

Covergirl Clump Crusher #ECBeautyBox

I recently received a fabulous Beauty Box from Elle Canada full of goodies! They were Elle Canada’s Fall 2013 Must Haves!

I was curious about Covergirl’s Clump Crusher as I am a loyal fan of their Lash Blast. I am one of those individuals that as soon as I find a makeup product that works I am hooked! There is just no going back for me – I get stuck in my comfort zone and that is how I feel about my Last Blast.

What struck me about their Clump Crusher mascara was that the tip is actually curved as if to follow the natural curve of your eyelash and to encourage the lengthening of each individual lash. I also found that the tips on the bristle seemed to be more pronounced which really helped separate each lash and prevent any of them from clumping. It took me a while to figure out to handle the wand properly!

What I was really interested in seeing was how these two mascaras would add up against each other so I put them to the test! For one week I tried the Clump Crusher with my two favourite work looks – natural with eyeliner and again with eyeshadow. I wanted to compare the comfort level of each mascara, it’s ability to lengthen my eyelashes, clumping of the mascara and just the overall look.

So how did they stack up?

Here is my almost daily look – eyeliner with mascara (it is so hard to get myself ready in the morning along with two children!). This look was with the Clump Crusher.

Here is how the Clump Crusher mascara looked like with eyeshadow to also help enhance the eyes.

So which one did I prefer?

I did like the fact that the Covergirl Clump Crusher stuck to its promise of delivering beautifully separated lashes BUT I still preferred the lengthening aspect of my Covergirl Lash Blast! I find the Covergirl Last Blast provides the best overall look providing long, volumized lashes with minimal clumps.

Have you tried either Covergirl products before? What is your preferred mascara?
