Summer is just around the corner – and if you’ve got young’uns (or are the outdoorsy-type yourself) you know what that means… scraped knees, insect bites, and a plethora of mystery rashes.

Just yesterday, Ryder and I were at my mom’s house. To give him a chance to blow off some energy, I let him loose in her backyard, which has a very beautiful (and very scratchy) patterned concrete patio. Well, after just 10 minutes of running, climbing stairs, jumping and belly flopping on the grass, he returned with two long red scratches on his knee, scuff marks on his elbows and a red patch where the fertilizer must have had it’s way with him. Sheesh.

I learned with horror that my mom didn’t even have a band aid! So I was extra happy to come across the Johnson & Johnson First Aid Kit on Well.ca – on sale this week for $21.99. I ordered one for her home and my own, and as with all Well.ca orders, enjoyed FREE shipping with every purchase.

The kit includes:

Johnson & Johnson cleansing wipes – 9
BAND AID brand bandages – 40
Knuckle & fingertip – 20
Spots Adhesive – 12
First Aid Gauze Pads 2″ x 2″ – 8
First Aid Butterfly Closures – 4
Extra Large Adhesive bandage – 4
Roll of First Aid Tape 1/2″ – 1 (no scissors required)
2 packets of TYLENOL Acetaminophen Regular Strength Caplets
2 Finger Splints
2 Safety pins
2 Gloves
1 First aid instant cold pack
1 Tweezer
1 Comprehensive first aid guide book

Knowing that boys will be boys, I’m feeling pretty good about being prepared.

While checking out Well.ca for new and exciting items (they seem to have great new additions every week!) I noticed that they’ve got a fab section dedicated to Valentine’s Day Gifts for Her, Gifts for Him, Gifts to Share, and even Gifts under $20.

LOVE that they offer FREE shipping on all orders (regardless of the amount) within Canada, so I’m a frequent online shopper (and I must admit, I also very much enjoy receiving the hand written thank you which accompanies every order).

What I’m loving “for Her”:

Burt’s Bees Tips ‘n Toes Hands & Feet Kit: why not pamper your special gal from tip to toe? For natural silky softness just reach out for the beauty of Burt’s Bees! Loaded with emollient Cocoa Butter and Beeswax, vitamin enriched oils and botanical extracts, Burt’s Bees rich cremes combine for the hands-down best in skin and nail care.

What I’m loving “for Him”:

Obus Forme Professional Body Massager: A serious massage for a seriously well-deserving dude. A 3″ arm extension and two pulsating massage heads deliver a relaxing therapeutic massage of up to 3,000 pulses per minute, encouraging increased blood circulation.

What I’m loving “to share”: Um… anything really. One of the things I love about Well.ca? ANONYMITY. After all, I don’t know many people who would risk purchasing the Durex Play Vibrations Ring (Play Vibrations is a vibrating ring designed to give you up to 20 minutes of quivering pleasure! It’s easily turned off and on, and why not try it with a little lube for even more fun!) in person without full disguise. Or maybe you’re freaky like that. I don’t judge.

Last year I blogged about Salon Selectives Hair Spray… and the fact that I think it’s the most kick ass hair product ever invented. At the time, I was afraid to come out of the closet as a “cheapie drugstore brand” connoisseur, but since then, honestly can’t believe the amount of comrades that have decided to declare themselves a fan. Without a word of lie, I receive an e-mail at least once per week of someone else who is looking for the coveted brand and wants to swap hair tips.

So I thought it would be appropriate to a) re-post my review, and b) let you know that even though mass retailers no longer sell the product, you can still purchase it online from Well.ca (which offers FREE shipping on every order within Canada)! Enjoy!

Salon Selectives Sit Still and Stay Put Aerosol Hairspray

Yes, you read correctly. I’m blogging about Salon Selectives – a product uncere-moniously banished to the second-last shelf in drugstores. A product so consistently shunned in favour of cooler, more expensive brands. A product that smells (reeks?) of granny smith apples. I am blogging about Salon Selectives Hairspray and I am absolutely, 100%, positively recommending it.

Why? Because it’s a kick ass hairspray, that’s why. I’ve been using it for – oh gosh am I really admitting this? – THIRTEEN years. And anyone who knows me will tell you I’ve had kick ass hair for the last thirteen years. In fact, I’m so loyal to this brand, I brought it along on my wedding day and asked the stylist to use it instead of her $36.00 designer spray. Now that’s trust!

Quite simply, the hairspray:

1. Lasts all day long with just a light application
2. Provides flexible, movable hold (never stiff or sticky)
3. Washes out completely leaving no residue behind
4. Retails for under $4!!!

Still not convinced? While searching for an image of the hairspray, I came across some reviews on Glow.ca, where I noticed it was named Glow Magazine Readers’ Choice 2006 Hairspray Winner. That’s a pretty amazing feat, considering the market is saturated with hair styling products, all seemingly a lot trendier than good ol’ SS.

And since I truly thought I was the last person on the planet still using this stuff, what I want to know is: Where are the rest of those SS groupies with apple-scented hair? Let’s create a Facebook group!

You can still find the hairspray, reasonably priced at just $3.99, at Well.ca, Canada’s online drug store. Stay Put Hairspray. Get in Shape Mousse. Under Firm Control Sculpting Gel. All available for immediate sale. Fantabulous! I talked to friends and discovered that Well.ca also has a bunch of other products that you may not be able to find at your local store, such as specialty creams and discontinued makeup shades. I like this line from their “About Us”: What makes us different? We aim to be the kindest, most friendly company you’ve ever shopped at.

I’m celebrating my One Year Blogiversary all month! In addition to the $250 Gift Card from Best Buy that’s up for grabs, I’ll be adding prizes every few days. Here’s one more fab addition to the Blogiversary Stash of Goodies!

Courtesy of Well.ca, one winner will receive a sweet and super indulgent Chocolate Gift Pack, valued at $60.

This amazing gift includes:

Giovanni Hot Chocolate Scrub (retail $16.39 – this stuff is AWESOME!)
“Hot Chocolate Sugar Scrub sweetens your day as a gentle body exfoliator that polishes skin’s surface, removing cellular debris. The richly scented formula contains the exclusive Giovanni PureOrganic Technology blend, an advanced essential oil complex to soothe, smooth and regenerate skin all over. What an intoxicating experience. Feel. Relaxed.” Check out this item on Well.ca here.

Exuberance Love (just because) Dark Chocolate & Mint Hand & Body Cream (retail $36.00 – our most popular Exuberance product)
“When you want to eat a body or hand cream (but don’t because that would be foolish), can’t stop smelling places you’ve applied it to, and carry the tube with you everywhere, can that be considered an addiction? We think so. This luxurious water-free lotion, blended with natural cocoa butter and peppermint, is capable of inspiring the deepest of addictions and the highest of highs, while giving you beautifully softened skin.” Check out this item on Well.ca here.

Nestle After Eight (retail $7.99)
“Thin dark chocolate mints that are great for a treat anytime. Excellent for the holiday season or for passing around the office!” Check out this item on Well.ca here.

Drool! I want ‘em all NOW! A HUGE thanks to Well.ca for offering such a fantabulous prize. Don’t forget that they offer FREE shipping across Canada with amazing customer support – they’re literally at your service!

Chocoholics: Be sure to enter the giveaway!

I looove this kit.

This collection of Burt’s Bees most popular all-natural creams, lotions and salves is formulated to give you healthy skin all over. Enjoy naturally softening buttermilk, emollient beeswax, vitamin-enriched oils and healing botanicals that nourish skin and restore essential moisture.

Just in time for the colder climate, you can order the Burt’s Bees Essential Body Kit for only $16.29 from Well.ca (sale ends October 19th, 2009). You’ll also get FREE shipping across Canada, so you really can’t beat that!

The kit normally retails for about $19-21 just about everywhere, and I rarely see it on sale. I think it’s just perfect for fall/winter travel, and is a great way to introduce yourself to the products. The kit includes:

Naturally Nourishing Milk & Honey Body Lotion (1 fl. oz.)
Extra Energizing Citrus & Ginger Root Body Wash (1 fl. oz)
Hand Salve (.30 oz.)
Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme (.30 oz.)
Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil (.15 oz.)
Peppermint Foot Lotion (.47 fl. oz.)
Peach & Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub (0.53 oz)

I am a HUGE fan of the Hand Salve and the Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme, and of Burt’s Bees products in general:

Famous brands? Check.
Fabulous prices? Check.

What a great promotion – in time for Back to School!

Ever since I outed myself by admitting that I use Salon Selectives Hairspray, I’ve received a slew of e-mails from readers asking where the products could be located, as the company filed for bankruptcy earlier this year. Until now, I’ve only been able to offer weak suggestions such as, “Fill up at Walmart” or “Call Unilever Canada”. Alas, it looks like those two options aren’t even viable, as Walmart and Unilever have dropped the brand.

As my stockpile dwindled to just one can, I began to sweat. Where would I ever find such a great hairspray at an amazing price? I mean, $2.34 gosh darn it! What’s a girl to do?
