Book Review: Bridges by Maria Murnane

I recently received a copy of the book Bridges by Maria Murnane. It was a happy day for me, as I have read other books by this author, and enjoyed them all. Particularly I loved the series of novels featuring Waverly Bryson. Her most recent novel features a female protagonist named Daphne White, who also appears in her novel Wait for the Rain. Bridges centers on Daphne and her two closest…

Recipe: Festive Snickerdoodle Cookies

It’s been a busy few weeks around here, and with Valentine’s Day this year, my kids asked if I would do some baking to bring to their classes. Valentine’s Day themed cookies was the request. I had to really think about it, how to do anything than a regular sugar cookie, which are not my favorite thing to bake. So, I went back to my one of my favorite cookie recipes, which are Cinnamon Butter…

Forging Friendships When You're an Adult: Ten Easy Tips

Forging Friendships When You’re an Adult: Ten Easy Tips

I noticed that after many years of working, child-rearing and so on, that my precious friendships from my earlier years had severely suffered. I still have a few friends from my university years, but many had deteriorated, much to my chagrin. It’s not easy to maintain adult friendships when you are all living and working in different cities. Add child rearing into the mix, and it can become even…

Our New Look on RealClearCool! #blogrefresh

It’s a happy day here at RealClearCool! We are debuting our new website and logo! I have been mulling a few things over since the beginning of 2017, and refreshing the blog was a major priority. So, I consulted the services of Emily at BD Web Studio to redo our website and logo. Happily, this was a very simple and stress-free process for me. I am not technically savvy, but I basically had an idea…

Product Review: Jiraph Electric Stapler

I was recently sent a Jiraph Electric Stapler to review, and let me tell you, I was excited. Sounds totally geeky, right! However, I use staplers at work at LOT. And it may seem silly, but my co-workers and I often complain about how cheap staplers make our work miserable. I can honestly say that we have used 50 or more staplers in our little pharmacy since I started working there. All but one or…

Product Review: Schwartz Bioresearch Probiotics #review

Before I received my sample, I did some research on Schwartz Bioresearch. Schwartz Bioresearch is a company which sells professional grade health supplements exclusively through their online store. All their…

Female Friendships, Where Are You? (part 1)

I was idly browsing my Facebook newsfeed recently, and saw a post which piqued my interest. The person who posted it was a female friend/acquaintance of mine. She posted a photo of a craft or art project that she had completed at home. Though I am not entirely certain, it seemed like she had hosted a girls night at her home during which everyone did a similar craft. She tagged 9 or 10 other…

Product Review: Intellident Toothbrush Shield

It’s funny but true. I have this thing about always keeping my toothbrush covered. This has gone back a long way. I had read reports about particulates that fly around the bathroom (read: waste particles!) that land on all surfaces when the toilet is flushed. EWWW! Right after reading that, I bought a plastic toothbrush cover at the local dollar store and used it to cover my toothbrush. The only…

Lise Watier Hydraforce Gel Creme #Glamsense

I was recently given the opportunity to test out a new product from Canadian beauty brand Lise Watier called Hydraforce Comfort Cream. It is a moisturizing product which can be used as either a daytime or nighttime moisturizer. I used it primarily as a nighttime moisturizer which I applied after using a cleanser, toner and serum. The Hydraforce Comfort Cream contains a marine algae extract from…

Product Review: Dove Beauty Products #Dove #Glamsense

I was recently sent a box of Dove beauty products in exchange for my honest opinion. All views are my own. No affiliate links have been used in this post. I have been a user of Dove products for a long time, well before it became a beauty staple for today’s women. In university, I started using Dove shampoo, conditioner and antiperspirant and I never really stopped. The main reasons for using…

Product Review: Yalmeh Vitamin C Serum #YalmehVitaminCSerum

If you have read any of my product reviews, then you will know that I am a big fan of facial serums. I find that these are little concentrated powerhouses that deliver much needed nutrients to the skin on your face and neck. I use them in conjunction with facial moisturizers to keep my face looking refreshed and smooth. A serum that I was recently sent to review is made by a company called…

Product Review: Forlan Skincare Night Cream #ForlanNightCream

I have been fortunate to test a lot of great night creams in the last couple years, and this product by Forlan Skincare is no exception. Firstly, I would like to make a comment about the packaging of this product. It may seem superficial, but it points to an attention to detail. The bottle is sleek and elegant looking. It features a pump dispenser mechanism, which is cleaner to use. Also the…

Product Review: Glow2Go Self Tanning Towelettes #thermalabs

It’s summer time and people (including me!) want to have a nice glow on their skin. I choose not to spend a lot of time in the sun, because it makes my skin age prematurely, and also I don’t want to get skin cancer. But that doesn’t mean I want to have white skin! So the solution? Self-tanning products are the choice for me. These type of products have been around for a bit over 10 years, and it…

Product Review: GoPure Naturals Rosehip Oil #gopure

I recently received a bottle of 100% Pure Rosehip Oil from goPure Naturals to sample. In the past, I had heard of rosehip oil in my travels, but I was never quite sure what is was used for. After receiving my bottle, I decided to check out goPure’s website to find out more information about this product. I quickly learned that rosehip oil is derived from wild rose bushes which are native to the…

Product Review: Hyaluronic Acid Serum + Oxygen by 180 Cosmetics #HyaluronicAcidSerumOxygen180cosmetics

I have been a relatively recent convert to facial serums. They pack a vitamin/nutrient punch when it comes to infusing your skin with ingredients which keep it healthy. I only wish that I had started using them a few years ago, now that I have seen how nice they make your skin look. When I received my bottle of Hyaluronic Acid Serum + Oxygen by 180 Cosmetics, I was immediately impressed by its…
