Eric and I had such a fun day together. It felt really nice to share an activity. As I mentioned in my previous FAQ post, I have been trying to find ways to help Eric enjoy exercise again.
So today I told him I would try mountain biking with him because I know that he enjoys biking a lot. I think he was quite happy to be doing it too! :) It was a fun way to spend time together in a healthy way. I told him that I would go every weekend this summer with him if he wants to! I am just happy to see him being active.
Despite the cold weather today, it was gloriously sunny and beautiful. We bundled up and once we got warmed up we were fine.
Here is a fun little video I put together of our day today- complete with a Beach Boys theme song!
haha sorry about the random text at the end…I guess I didn’t edit that part out!
So all and all today was a fairly active day! We biked for about 1 hour and then I did about 30 minutes or so of gardening once we got home. Today was another great example of cross training! No treadmill needed. :)
I don’t know about you, but as soon as I saw the commercial for Maybelline Stiletto Lash Mascara I knew I had to try it!
I love stilettos after all.
I am constantly asked how I walk in 4” stilettos by friends and family. The truth is I don’t know how. I just love them.
I knew this mascara would be for me.
I opened it up and looked at the wand. I am a pretty good judge of how I will like the mascara when I see it.
The wand was narrow and feathered, and the mascara itself has a nice sheen to it and looked a bit glossy. I instantly knew that the mascara would probably go on with minimal clumps. I find Maybelline has always been good at this!
Before Make-up:
Notice the blonde, pale lashes!
And Voila…
After with Maybelline Stiletto Lash Mascara:
My review?
I think it is obvious that I LOVED this mascara! From the moment the brush touched the tips of my lashes I knew it was ‘the one’. I didn’t have to wipe off any excess from the brush before using. Which rarely happens for me. I had no flakes even after a long day + activity + cold winds. There were also ZERO clumps! Tonight, I tried another coat just to see what it would do, and to my amazement my lashes got even longer! I think this mascara more than doubled the length of my lashes– sans falsies!
I loved it so much that I went back to the drugstore and bought 2 more! With my luck they are going to discontinue this stuff. :)
Because I love this mascara so much, I am going to do my first ever beauty product giveaway on Oh She Glows!
That’s right, I am giving away one of my brand spanking new tubes of Maybelline Stiletto Lash Mascara (Value $12 CAD).

I would have to say my number one beauty tip would be sleep, at least 7 hours! Btw, I love your blog and enjoy reading it everyday!
Best beauty tip… “Incredible Hulk” smoothies (aka Green Monsters). Wow, what a difference this power-drink has made to my skin, hair and nails!
My number one beauty tip is to use a little under-eye concealer for those dark circles. It really makes a big difference!
My main beauty tip is to curl my lashes. Even if I’m just going to the gym, it’s the one thing I always do.
My beauty to do is always curling my lashes (like Catherine!) and putting on perfume :)
this sounds bad… but get a bra that fits right…. makes all your other clothes fit and look better
My tip would have to be applying sunscreen to your face and hands every day :)
Defiantly a good lotion. For face and body. I have super dry skin and living in dry, cold, Canada doesn’t help. I use Dermal therapy for most of my skin needs. This stuff is awesome.I can’t live without. http://www.dermaltherapy.com/default.asp
Moisturize moisturize moisturize! :) My mom is 50, looks 40, all because she started moisturizing daily and using anti-aging products in her 20’s. I’m hoping to age like a fun wine myself! ;) Wash your face once a day also, it works wonders.
I’d love to win! Oh, and you have gorgeous eyes! Even without the mascara :)
I drink a lot of water to keep my skin healthy!
You look beautiful!
My number one beauty trick is to wait until my hair is about 2/3 dry then blow dry it. it makes so much less frizzy
my #1 beauty tip is if u have one of those days where u didnt get enough sleep all u have to do is get cold tea bags and put them on ur eyes for 5 min works great or if u dont want to do that u gan also take spoons and put them in the fridge for 2 min take them out place under ur eye for 3 to 5 min.
For mascara applying i do one layer and then couple minutes later i do another by rolling the wand across the eyelashes a couple times. makes for thick beautiful lashes. :)
