Newsletter August 5th: August Giveaways



August may signal the last weeks of summer but it ain’t over yet. Take this next month to really enjoy yourself. Chances are your boss is on vacation and so there is no time like the present to slow down, unwind and explore. Take a road trip, spend a Saturday walking around your city, visiting local cafes. Spend an entire “mental health day” at the beach with a good book.

We plan to do our part to make this a great month by giving away over 100 new products to members of our Product Review Club. We’re also gearing up for our 4th Shop Crawl (October!)

More exciting news to come later this month!

5 Days in Montreal

There is something so charming about being in a place where you don’t understand the language very well. At least I think so. Between the incredible cuisine, the language and the stunning architecture, it felt like a little slice of Europe.


Everyone has their own style of traveling and Alex and I are lucky that ours jive. We love to walk the city. We get a hotel located in the heart of the action and walk absolutely everywhere. We visited with some of my favorite beauty brands and clothing retailers in the mornings and spent the afternoons walking the city. That often meant at least 4 hours of walking a day, which was great for exercise and getting a feel for the city. We sat at outdoor cafés, enjoyed takeout lunches from Beniamino & co sitting on the grass at the waterfront or got rich cappuccinos to go from MBCo... (keep reading)

We'd love to hear your thoughts on Montreal. Review your favorite places in Montreal on ChickAdvisor and help us grow that amazing city!


The Boys of Summer: Fling, Flirtation or Forever After?

If you’re someone who’s more interested in “happily ever after” than “happy to know you right now,” take a look at these tips for figuring out whether a guy is just a fling – or the real thing.

Signs that he’s only into you until September:
