From ANTM Live Toronto: Petite Friendly Convertible Dresses from Henkaa

One of the dresses I purchased at America’s Next Top Model LIVE!

McCain’s Harvest Splendour Medleys: Easy, But Plain and Powdery

A PR company recently contacted me about trying McCain’s Harvest Splendour Medleys, frozen potato side dishes that can be made in less than half an hour.  As I am a very busy person who prefers to make her meals as easily and quickly as possible, I jumped the chance to try the products out.      […]
