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).

Thanks for the contest! My beauty “secret” is that I only wash my face once a day (in the morning). I know it might sound crazy but last year I started breaking out really badly and couldn’t get it under control, even though I was washing my face in the morning, at night and using some other products. I read somewhere that you can wash too much, so I decided to give it a shot. Now my face is completely clear and the real test will be this summer when I’m sweating a lot! :)
Green Monster everymorning for an all day glow!
I also drink lots of water, which helps!
I would have to say my “trick” is to exfoliate everyday, not just once a week!
My tip is eat healthy and get plenty of sleep!
Hum, beauty trick? I would say that primer is highly essential. ;) It does wonders.
my beauty trick is using black eye shadow and a thin brush to apply eyeliner. i’ve found that it keeps my lashes and eyes healthier then using liquid or pencil liner. plus its SO easy to put on!
I love make-up so much! I would love to give this brand a try….finding a good mascara is sooo hard!
My beauty trick is washing my hair in Apple Cider Vinegar once a week! It makes it so smooth and shiny!!
I just linked back :)
I use aquaphor on everything, dry cuticles, around my eyes, on my face when I run in the winter, the stuff is awesome!
Wow! That mascara looks awesome!!
As for beauty tricks I drink a lot of water. I also brush, floss, and use mouthwash everyday–healthy teeth are always beautiful!
My best beauty trick is mixing a little face lotion with some foundation in my hand before applying to my face. It makes the finish so much smoother and more natural! Plus it hydrates my skin so it never looks dry or caked on. That mascara sounds awesome.
ummmmmm.. of course i want to win! my mascara shit the bed.. i have been using a sample one from clinique.. booooo!!!!
i use a setting powder for my make up, keeps it on.. pretty much all day!
My favorite beauty trick is eating lots of Wild Salmon and Mono-unsaturated fats. I also love tinted bronzers for my face!
my biggest beauty secret (can you call this a secret?) is WATER WATER WATER!!
I LOOOOVE this mascara!!! You’re right about the no clumps and I find it makes my lashes look so long!
My biggest beauty secret is curling my eyelashes. Some people are afraid of the curling contraptions, but it makes a huge difference!
plenty of water and plenty of sleep are absolutely key! also, i always curl my lashes (my lashes are long, but they are weirdly, super straight). immediately makes my face look happier, and i feel prettier too.
i’ll link back on my brand new blog- decided i would give it a try! would love for you to visit sometime! thanks!
Hi! I put Vaseline on my lips every night…my hub makes fun but I always have smooth lips! Plus, I couldn’t live without my night cream by Aveeno.
I always use sunscreen on my face, even on cloudy days, and it has kept my skin clear and youthful.
#1 beauty trick is to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
Hi,
If I don’t win…I might just buy it myself! :-)
My best beauty trick is to use vaseline to remove eye make-up!
