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).

Other than DRINK WATER!!! my favorite beauty trick is to put some kind of light shimmery eyeshadow in the inner corners of my (tiny) eyes – it really makes them seem larger and pop open!
WOWwww is that gorgeous on you!!!
My favorite beauty trick would go perfectly with that mascara! I always WARM my eyelash curler before using it. It gives my lashes the best curl that holds all day long!
My beauty secret is putting vasaline on my heels everynight before bed, and then wearing cotton socks. I know that’s a weird tip, but icky feet-skin run in my family and running doesn’t help! This is super cheap and keeps my feet looking healthy! :)
I use vaseline to moisturize my hands and face (and elbows) every night!
Once a week I give make a face mask using aspirin, water, and yogurt. I leave it on for an hour, then splash some water on my face and exfoliate with the little aspirin pieces. It is AMAZING!
My best beauty tip is sleep and sunscreen!
Looks like a great mascara. Love your blog!
My Chi flat iron is my beauty secret. I already have straight hair but this smoothes out any little bumps and it lasts all day!
#1 beauty trick is simple but drinking adequate amounts of water (and exfoliating)!!!
My number one beauty secret is Bobbi Brown Extra moisurizer w/ SPF. Its expensive but my skin is SO dry & it instantly leaves my skin feeling moist and supple all day.
Vaseline or mentholatum for your lips! I’ve been using them my whole life.
My #1 beauty tip is to wash your face with light scrubbing atleast once a day. My face has cleared up INCREDIBLY just from that.
Hope I get to try it =)
I have sensitive, red (a touch of rosacea), sometimes dry skin and my best beauty trick is to layer the Aveda Intensive Hydrating Mask with the Outer Peace anti-redness acne mask. That way I get soft skin and all the redness is gone! Research shows that the redness from acne is linked to the redness from rosacea. Also, sometimes I sleep with the Hydrating Mask on–it is a clear gel so doesn’t make too much of a mess. My skin is total perfection when paired with my Caudalie skincare.
less is more :)
My favorites for make-up are: a bronzer, mascara, & gloss!
Oh I’d love to have that mascara!! My number one beauty trick is to always curl your eyelashes! It makes your eyes pop and makes you look more awake!
My favorite beauty tip is a good concealer. Now if only I could find one I liked!
I linked back.
mac concealer!
I would love to win that mascara!
My best beauty tip deals with eyelashes: when you finish putting on your mascara, use tweezers to position all your lashes individually and get rid of clumps! It works SO well!
My number one beauty trick is to put lotion on right after I dry off after taking a shower. That way my skin is a little moist and it locks it in all day! Thanks for the opportunity.
My Beauty tip is to drink lots of water and always show confidence.
Great blog by the way!!
