BEAUTY: OGX Restoring + Bonding Plex Conditioner

All of you Rapunzels out there probably already know that chemicals and heat styling products are considered major culprits in destroying protein bonds, leaving hair susceptible to irreversible damage. And... you probably also know that UV rays can leave hair cuticles exposed and vulnerable to breakage and split ends. Naturally, you want to have gorgeous, shiny hair but sometimes the daily routine of beautifying and those costly visits to the salon for bleaching or colouring can catch up with you and leave you with dry, brittle, over-processed hair. So, if you detect any damage to your lovely locks, now is the time to take action. Do some emergency hair repair! Even if you do not see any signs of damage, make sure that you give your locks a deep conditioning treatment at least once a week to maintain strength and moisture.

While out shopping for conditioners that provide deep moisturizing and repair, our editors happened upon OGX Restoring + Bonding Plex Conditioner. We had heard about other similar products claiming to restore hair bonds but this bottle was only a fraction of the price. It was on sale for $6.99 ($11.99 original price) at Shoppers Drug Mart on that day. An irresistible deal!

FABULOUS FIND: Fab.ME

Fab.ME leave-in treatment from Design.ME

Our newest obsession!  A tall, green, 230ml bottle of goodness called Fab.ME from Design.ME!  It is a leave-in spray described as "the mother of all hair treatments" with 18 benefits.   Yes...you read that correctly...18.  No kidding!   We have never seen a spray on the market with such a claim, so we decided to try this product for ourselves to see if it really stands up to all of the hype and rave reviews that we've been seeing online.  We've heard that salons have been selling out of this stuff just as fast as they get in the new shipments and now we get it.  Now we understand what it is all about.  Now we are hooked.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Up To Par Restaurant

Up To Par Restaurant

It was one of the hottest days of the summer that a group of us hopped into the car and headed out for a drive through the farmlands and cottage country.  With ravenous appetites and an eagerness to get out and stretch our legs, we pulled into the parking lot of the Up To Par restaurant in Norton, New Brunswick.  With its heritage red facade, it was visually pleasing against the picturesque backdrop of green hills, fields and surrounding farmland.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Country Liberty & Sawyer Hannay
