Ok, so I totes missed the mark on letting you know for the month of April but you’ve still got May, June and July to get lucky and win stuff from Schick Quattro for Women Canada’s Get Quattro-fied promos!
On the 4th of every month at 4PM (so you can try for June 4th and July 4th), you can try to snap up a $3 coupon off of any Schick Quattro products — you enter and if you’re lucky enough to have nabbed one of the 4,000 coupons available, you get a coupon you have to print off.
(Um, even if you don’t win, I think the PO’d comments some of the people who’ve entered and didn’t win are pretty amusing, but maybe that’s just me. People sure can get worked up over the littlest things!).
But even better (in my opinion) are the weekly prizes available! Every week, you can enter to win some great prizes. For the month of May, the focus is beauty and spa (so you may win a $150 Sephora gift card, for example — sa-weeet!). In June, the prizes will be giftcards to Bikini Village, and in July prizes will be summery prize packs — all available to be won for lucky Facebook fans, all you have to do is enter weekly!
Of course, while you’re there, you can enjoy fashion, health and beauty tips from the ah-may-zing (Ok, maybe I’m biased) Schick Quattro for Women Style Squad — that’d be Niki Blasina from A Haute Mess, Janine Falcon of Beauty Geeks and moi (erm, of Health & Swellness, you know, the blog you’re on right now!).
So why don’t you click on through to the Schick Quattro for Women Canada Facebook page right about now, “like” the page and enter weekly! Let me know if you win!

(Moto Coral Baxter jeans, Topshop)
Jeans are what we wear when we’re feeling down, says new research from the University of Hertfordshire.
The researchers found that what we choose to wear is very much influenced by the mood we’re in. We’re more likely to wear a baggy top when feeling blue, for example–that’s another finding from the study. And we’re more likely to wear our favourite shoes when we’re in a good mood.
“Happy clothes” tend to fit well, enhance our figures and made from bright, gorgeous fabrics.
All of that makes sense to me. The part I disagree with is where jeans are said to be worn by those who are down in the dumps because:
“Jeans don’t look great on everyone. They are often poorly cut and badly fitting. Jeans can signal that the wearer hasn’t bothered with their appearance.”
Um, hello, jeans have come a looooong way.
And how can these pretty coral jeans not bring about happiness?
Anyhow, since the study also found that wearing “happy clothes” has the power to influence your mood (ie. wear your happy clothes and it may help get you out of a funk), I’m pretty sure we all have a reason to go out and buy a new happy piece to add to our wardrobes, non?
Speaking of bright coloured denim, my Schick Quattro for Women Style Squadmate Niki of A Haute Mess wants to know if you’ll be wearing it this spring — weigh in on the Schick Facebook page!
