I always find this time of year particularly tough. The month of January, you spend much of that month getting back into the swing of things after the holidays (plus for me, I have the fun of my birthday to look forward to!), but then February hits and it’s still cold and grey out and you realize there’s still a lot of winter to get through. So I thought as a pick-me-up, I’d hold a series of giveaways on Health & Swellness!
First up, I’m giving away this beauty prize package valued at $300! The prize includes:
- 1 tub of Sproos Up Your Skin and Hair
- 3 packages of Viviscal Extra Strength Supplements
- 1 Viviscal Gorgeous Growth Densifying Shampoo
- 1 Viviscal Gorgeous Growth Densifying Conditioner
- 1 Viviscal Gorgeous Growth Densifying Elixir
I’m a bit late to the party but I have just recently started trying out some collagen products. The new Sproos collagen formulas offer sustainably sourced, highly-soluble collagen at 7grams per serving”. Formulated with hydrolyzed collagen peptides sourced from wild-caught North Atlantic fish, Sproos collagen helps to restore and rebuild your body’s natural collagen, benefiting skin, hair, joints, bones and gut health. Sproos Up Your Hair & Skin is green tea citrus flavour with five additional health benefits including organic acerola, hyaluronic acid, zinc, silica, biotin.
And my hair is so fine and weak so I was excited to attend a workout event a few months ago with Viviscal, where I learned about and got samples of the Viviscal Gorgeous Growth Densifying Shampoo and Conditioner. In the prize package, you get the entire Viviscal Gorgeous Growth Densifying Range and the Viviscal Extra Strength Supplements, which work from the inside to promote thicker, fuller looking hair in as little as three to six months.
To enter:
Check out my Instagram post of the prize package and enter there. But you can get an additional entry by commenting on this post about which of the products you’re most keen on trying out.
This giveaway ends at 5 p.m. EST on Sunday, February 17, 2019. It is open to Canadian residents. The winner will be chosen at random and announced on my Instagram Stories on Monday, February 18, 2019. The prize is awarded as is.
And be sure to stay tune for more giveaways!

If there are two things I do a lot of it is travelling and blow-drying my hair. My work calls for me to go out of town a fair bit (even though I am cutting back on it as I know I need more time at home), and as for the blow-drying, since I work out regularly and sweat a lot, I’m frequently showering twice a day (to get ready for the day and then again post-workout), and that often calls for blow drying twice a day.
You’re probably wondering why I’m talking about these two things as going hand in hand, and that’s because I’ve been testing out the brand-new Panasonic Nanoe™ Compact Travel Hair Dryer, and this little addition to my beauty toolkit has helped me out with both my time on the road and at home.
I never used to travel with a hair dryer and never really understood the point of travel hair dryers–after all, don’t all accommodations have a hair dryer in the room? But now having traveled regularly for the past six years and having been forced to use the often terrible ones at hotels (you’d be surprised at how many places still offer the old-fashioned weak ones that are attached to the wall and look like a Flowbee) I’ve paid for it with bad-hair days. This is why I’m now making room in my carry-on for the Panasonic Nanoe Compact Travel Hair Dryer. It’s not a big deal to bring it along, since it’s so compact thanks to being foldable.
So now I can rest assured I have the right tool for the job when I’m away from home. This powerful 1,400-watt hair dryer is lightweight, and its Nanoe™ technology helps minimize damage from brushing (which is helpful since I find my hair can often feel dry and damaged, I think because of all the shampooing and heat I expose it to). The proprietary Nanoe™ technology draws water from the air to fortify hair with moisture-rich particles that reduce the damage caused by everyday brushing, leaving hair smoother and shinier. Since using this dryer, I’ve noticed my hair is a little more brilliant and less parched.
It has so many other great features going for it, I often reach for it first even at home instead of my non-travel/usual hairdryer. It comes with a quick-dry nozzle that puts out both strong and soft airflows so you can get the job done faster–and if you know me at all, you know very well how I’m often rushing last minute to get out of the house, so I can definitely use any tool that helps me get ready quicker. If I’m on time for events or meeting with friends, well, that’s thanks to precious time saved with this impressive little hair dryer.
I can’t quite say I’ve come to love the routine task of blow-drying , but it’s definitely less of a chore, and you always feel more confident when heading out the door on a good-hair day, am I right?
The Panasonic Nanoe™ Compact Hair Dryer has an MSRP of $99.99 and is available at T&T Supermarket locations and at Panasonic.com.

I haven’t coloured my hair in a couple of years, but it’s definitely something I consider from time to time. But one reason I colour it rarely is because I worry about not being happy with the colour. It’s hard to imagine what I’ll look like with a particular colour or technique, but now a free colour consultation is as easy as making a few taps on your smartphone.
The new Matrix Color Lounge App (available for desktop, iOS and Android devices) lets you try different shades and styles (from ombre to painting, for example); all it takes is uploading a portrait and using the app to change your colour is pretty intuitive. With hundreds of combinations, you may find yourself playing with different looks for hours (I speak from personal experience!). Plus, there app also tells you what haircare products it recommends for your hair look (so you can be sure to keep it looking its best).
Go for a new look for spring perhaps? I know I’m considering it (I’ve got a deep auburn shade on here…).
