This spring, you can your support for the hardworking bee with this cute Bee Chic tee, a collaboration between Burt’s Bees and Pink Tartan. For each tee sold, Burt’s Bees and Wildlife Preservation Canada will plant 10,000 wildflowers in support of bee health and sustainability.
Each $49 tee comes with two of the new Natural Lipsticks from Burt’s Bees (Tulip Tide and Iced Iris).
You can help by planting wildflowers — this contributes towards a healthy bee population. No space to plant wildflowers yourself? This Bee Chic tee makes your do-good by the bees task simple (and pretty!).
Available online at www.pinktartan.com, at Pink Tartan stores, H Projects stores in Holt Renfrew and at select London Drugs locations.

One of my friends works at the Starlight Children’s Foundation Canada and I’ve had the opportunity to attend their annual gala twice so I”m familiar with the wonderful work that they do. The non-profit’s mission is to provide spirit-lifting events, programs and services for seriously ill children and their families, and when you witness what a difference this organization can make in their lives, well, you quickly become a supporter of the organization, too.
Which is why I’m sharing the details about the upcoming Visage x Starlight Your Purchase Counts campaign, which runs from May 1 to 8th, 2016.
For each Caryl Baker lipstick purchased, $1 will be donated to Starlight Children’s Foundation Canada. Which is not the only thing Caryl Baker is doing: on Sunday, May 1, Caryl Baker will host families from the Foundation and give moms and daughters day makeovers and an afternoon of pampering.
With 40 lipstick shades to choose from (and it’s cute tube featuring a mirror) and at only $18.50 a pop, it’s a great extra item to add onto your Mother’s Day gift (tie it with a ribbon onto your main present for your mom), and it helps Starlight. Or if your mom’s just not into lipstick, you can always just make a straight-up donation to Starlight.
Roseberry is a pretty neutral taupe (it’s the one on the far left), but I am drawn to the deep red Marilyn (pictured at the bottom of the photo above; I can’t resist a great red lippie), but my favourite shade name has got to be Supertramp (the pink on top in the photo above) . (Your moms might wonder what you’re trying to say if you give her that shade of lipstick!).
May 1 to May 8th. Buy a Caryl Baker lipstick, and you contribute to helping lift the spirits of a terribly sick child. Your purchase counts.

I first met Aylin Carolina of Cabello by Carolina at Nike Run Club through my friend Mel. I knew of her already through Instagram so it was nice to meet in real life and I was excited when she emailed me a few weeks later to ask to do my hair in a running-appropriate style and to chat running for her blog in her “Behind the Chair” series.
Aylin and her photographer came over a few weeks ago, and to be honest I wasn’t sure how a braid (which is what she had told me she had in mind for my hairstyle) would work with my hair (my hair is quite fine) but Aylin made the box-braided ‘do work (huzzah!) and then we went for a quick run together.
I had a 29k run with my training buddy planned right after this morning with Aylin, and I not only though like I looked pulled together with my hair braided for that run, but I didn’t feel like my usual hot mess; I may need Aylin to become part of my race prep because it was so nice to not have my sweaty hair bothering me during a run.
Her blog post is up now, in which I talk about juggling work, travel and training. Check it out here.
