Biodegradable Balloons • Are They BioSafe

So here I am with a reason to celebrate.. New Business Cards, Book Marks and a little friendly Blogger Sign to hang off my camera that encourages Smiles! Even a NEW LOOK for my up and coming all natural All Organic Skin Care Line.. They are all on their way as I have finished all the final touches.

On the other hand, Im getting Calls, Emails, and Invites to some places I have never even imagined going. The places I end up get keep getting me somewhere else I wanted to be and didn't know how, involved, and right in the middle of things.

This blogging is really opening up new possibilities. It's actually opening up this city for me, and I can finally say it's becoming an even more enjoyable place to live as I learn about it all.

By writing about what I love, it's bringing me to the things I love.

It seems as if everything is just going along so perfect and cute, I simply must celebrate.. So it's a Blog Launch Celebration!

And how better to have a Blog Launch Celebration, Than to have a Balloon Launch Photo Shoot to go with it!

I called my photographer and the Launch/Shoot was planned!

I then tracked down some Biodegradable Balloons, and got them filled with Helium.

While at the party store, I specifically asked again for Biodegradable Balloons. I then came to learned that all Latex Balloons are actually Biodegradable.

They did happen to warn me about the strings though. The strings are not Biodegradable and are highly dangerous to release they said.

So simple right? Release them from the top, and they claim that these balloons are not only Biodegradable but Safe. So its easy peasy just like that. .. right?

A little champaigne cheers under a balloon launch.. This shoot was going to be so cute!

And then I began to wonder...

Are Biodegradable Balloons Really Biosafe?

   

I mean, how long does it take these things to biodegrade?

And what harm could possibly be done within that time? 

The answer...

3-4 years

By that time these Balloon pieces that have had 3-4 years to degrade, have also had 3-4 years to harm and even kill our wildlife.

Turns out, that in 3-4 years the balloon is still only partially degraded and still very harmful. The nasty balloon peices get eaten, and this causes a lot of damage to the animals, and many deaths.

That's not Biodegradable at all, and it sure isn't Biosafe. 

So...

Instead of doing a Balloon Launch Celebration, this article is about the Biosafety or in fact, the Non Biosafety of Biodegradable Balloons and other so called Biodegradable Plastics.

We still went along with the shoot

What we then did, was chose not to launch the balloons

And we popped them instead

Then we disposed of them properly to set a good example and lighten our footprint on the Environment.

So..

If your going to use balloons for your celebration, please make sure you dispose of them properly.

Popping the balloons was actually quite fun.. It was some quirky excitement to end our completely silly, balloon filled day.

Like it already wasn't quirky enough.. 

While doing this shoot we realised balloons are not the easiest props. They really don't care about your camera or anything that you are trying to pull off or accomplish really...

And we did lose a couple to the trees... Not these trees.. but other trees.. 

Apparently they LOVE trees.

Outro

It turns out, that the problem is more than just Biodegradable Balloons. Slapping the term Biodegradable on a plastic that takes at least 4 years to degrade is not Biodegradable, and cannot be considered Biosafe.

This word should not make us feel better about littering, based on the misleading term Biodegradable.

Nothing should ever actually make us feel better about littering, Because the honest truth is, this stuff is not magic and doesn't just "Poof" disapear. Adding the word Biodegradable to plastic is an impossible contradiction to the harmful effects it could have on the wildlife and our environment.  

Aaaand these are things we don't think about every day..

Like today for example..

Trying to be Eco Conscious yet I was about to launch, what I thought were Biodegradable Balloons, again, based on this term Biodegradable. 

With so much trickery, one can't always be a sheep. Questions have to be asked.

Like are Biodegradable Balloons Really Biosafe? What does Biodegradable really mean?

17 Ways I Personally Use Coconut Oil

Every one that knows me, knows that I am the biggest promoter of Coconut Oil. I have convinced so many of you to start using Coconut Oil in your Daily Skin Care and Health Routines, that this has made me very happy. So I wanted to do an article about why I love Coconut Oil so much, and finally share my regime secrets with an even bigger audience, the internet.

I use coconut oil for just about everything. I started by putting it on my face and body as moisturizer. My skin had never felt so incredibly smooth, and I loved knowing I wasn't any adding any Fragrances or Chemicals to have this great skin.

My Absolute Favorite Coconut Oil is Nutiva Organic Brand Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. The fragrance and taste of Nutiva brand, almost makes you question the purities of other brands, as it tastes and smells so much better.  Always remember to pick up Extra Virgin Coconut Oil. Refined oil doesn't have as many health benefits due to the way it was processed. 

Next, I started using it as Make Up Remover, and found out that it is actually a Face Wash, great for Heavy Dirt and Make Up.

And the list grew,

Tanning Lotion, Dental Hygiene, Tooth Whitening, Mental Clarity, Cooking, and even Dessert..

And then there's Coffee!

... "Wait Coffee?", you say... 

Yes Coffee! It's called a Butter Latte and you positively must try it!

However, lately my favorite way has been straight up drinking the Coconut Water through a straw, right from the Coconut! Mmmmmm, So Gooood, it's hydration at it's finest! This is not the stuff you buy in the cans and bottles, this is the real deal.

And it's really healthy for you too! So the next time your at the grocery store you will want to stock up on a couple coconuts too. 

1. Face wash • Even For The Heaviest Dirt & Make Up

Whilst using Coconut Oil as a Make Up Remover, I realised that, even after having the most make up I possibly could have on my face, my skin was not only squeaky clean, but it left it feeling so soft and radiant. I really can't explain the texture, you'll really have to try this one for yourself. Just grab some coconut oil and a damp, luke warm face cloth and your good to go.

It basically feels how this looks

2. Make Up Remover

Coconut oil is great as a Make Up Remover. It's even great for Heavy Mascara, just let is soak a minute and it will slip right off. This is especially good for me, as I have a tendency to abuse mascara.

3. Moisturiser Face And Body 

I mostly recommend Coconut Oil mostly as a body moisturiser. Nothing leaves my skin softer or silkier.

Though it is a good  facial moisturiser, I tend to prefer Olive Oil or Grapeseed oil when dealing with the facial region.

Coconut Oil is still a beautiful face moisturiser and promotes clear skin, and is great for wrinkles, so go ahead and try it out.

I used coconut oil as a moisturiser on my face for about one year straight. I had no complaints. Its nice to give your face these nice natural nutrients anyways.

4. Pre Deodorant or as Light Deodorant 

I started using Coconut Oil to Deodorise while I was in the house, especially if I had a long day ahead of me. There's nothing I hate more than Deodorant Build Up from excessive use.

I found that by doing this I was actually able to apply Deodorant much later in the day,and also that I was able to apply less of it, so their was less of that Deodorant Build Up, and I feel much cleaner doing this. Also there are less invasive chemicals used on my skin this way.

5. Pre Tooth Paste For That Extra Clean Freshness & Overall Gum Health

Feeling less fresh and want a cleaner feeling? Brush with Coconut Oil before Brushing with toothpaste. This is good for your over all Dental Health, and if you'll look below.. Toothed Whitening.

6. Tooth Whitening 

Yes Tooth Whitening. Brushing with Coconut Oil helps whiten teeth - fast.

7. Oil Pulling

         

Again, great for Tooth Whitening and Total Dental Health, Oil Pulling helps reduce Cavities and
Plaque Induced Gingivitis. This technique also assists in eradicating Stank Breath.

Bacteria, Fungi, Viruses and other Various Toxins can all find homes in our mouths. Oil pulling extracts these little creeps while you swish, getting much deeper into the cracks then flossing can.

Oil Pulling actually has numerous Health Benefits. It also helps by increasing energy by cleaning
out all that toxic waste out of our system. This can mean less headaches too, as toxins in the body can often be the cause or root of a head ache.

And last but not least, Oil Pulling can also hep assist with clear skin. Toxins are known to cause
rashes  and other skin problem like acne. By clearing out these toxins you are giving your skin
a chance to breath and shine toxin free. So those deep pimples that seem to come from within...
Well it's best to start by detoxing them from the inside out. A good way to do this is by adding Oil Pulling to your routine.

To Oil Pull, put a tablespoon of Coconut Oil in your mouth and swish for 10 to 20 minutes. You can do this as often as you'd like. Once a week, daily, whatever.

8. Split End Treatment 

Just a little pinch of Coconut Oil on that extra dry day, does wonders for my hair! I  also love
Olive Oil for this... or any Oil really. Just be careful that you don't use too much, or your hair can
go from having a gorgeous sheen to looking like you stuck you head in the deep fryer in 1 second flat. And just the tips, it will work itself up.

If your hair is super brittle towel off your hands and use the remaining moisture through out the rest of your hair, or wherever it is dry,

9. Tanning Lotion / Tanning Oil

Coconut oil increases your Sun Tolerance so that you can stay in the sun longer for that deeper golden brown tan without burning. At the same time it gives your skin that extra conditioning softness and glow.

10. Butter Latte • The Only Way To Drink Coffee

Coffee, Coconut oil, Blender, Blend!!! OMG!!!Have you had this?

You simply must try it! Turn that Questionable Coffee into a Healthy Coffee!

Not only is it super creamy and yummy! But it actually boosts your metabolism, and gives you even more energy than you originally would have had with just plain boring coffee.

Coffee is actually good for you, a common misperception is that it's not. Too much coffee, or the refined sugars and creams that you put in the coffee is actually the culprit here.

Coconut oil in your coffee actually gives you so many health benefits, making that morning coffee one of the healthiest parts of your day.

To make a butter latte all you need is Coffee, Coconut Oil, and preferably a Blender. Its definitely not the same without a blender, but I've done it. And I'll do it again.

First, pour your mug of Coffee into the blender.
Add a tablespoon of Coconut Oil. Secure the lid. I mean really secure that lid!!!!
Blend for 45 seconds and Voila!

Beautiful creamy Butter Latte ready to drink.

No need for cream or sugar, though sometimes I like to add a dash of almond milk to the blender if I have made my coffee that is too strong. That happens a lot as I like to use a French Press. I find them to be particularly good at picking up the beautiful sometimes strong flavours while
making a more Quality Coffee. However, sometimes a little strong.

11. Better Cooking Choices, Various Recipes & Healthy Desserts 

When used for cooking, Coconut oil is always a much healthier alternative. When used in its raw form, or in many Desserts, Coconut Oil still has a world of benefits!

Healthy indulgent? Can it be? Can eating dessert actually be Healthy for me?
Like really Healthy?

It sure can be! Especially when you are going the extra mile and using resources
like Cacao (Chocolate in it's realest form) which actually has many health benefits as well,
or making your own fruit spreads, or plain just adding fruit! Wonderful, wonderful fruit,
like berries. ... Mmmmm.. Whip cream & Berries!!!

Speaking About Whip Cream & Berries. My All Time Healthy Fav's Are:

This Chocolate Chia Pudding!

Loaded with Coconut, Cacao, and Chia, OMG!! This is just a delight. Just sweet enough to satisfy my sugar cravings, and so healthy for you I could eat one every day!.. Sorry guys, so far I have only found this in Sudbury Ontario.. But Im definately on the hunt for it here! I'll let you know when I find it.

 "Protein Shake, Beet Juice and a Chocolate Chia Pudding please.."

And these Blueberry Bliss Bars!

           

Really , this stuff is just plain healthier for you. Coconut oil is a healthy fat and healthy fats are actually important to our diet and actually do great things for our body.

The fats from coconut oil is more likely to be burned as energy, opposed to turning into fat that is then stored on your body. It actually helps lower cholesterol. So not only does it help burn fat, It is especially effective on those really bad fats found in your abdominal cavity.

In fact, Coconut oil and coconuts have a lot of Health Benefits when ingested. They are even known to Unclog Arteries and prevent Heart Disease. They slso have therapeutic effects on brain disorders like Seizures, Epilepsy, Dementia, and Alzheimer's...

And the list goes on.

Just don't raise the heat to high! It will burn up.

12. Chapstick for Minor Chapping

Well.. OK.. This works for minor chapping.

For major chapping, I like to go straight for a Potato. Just cut a slice of the potato, lay it on, and soothe. If you have both, use the Potato to Heal, then use a little Coconut Oil to Hydrate. This will work
on even the worst stages of Chapped Lips

13. Sunburnt or Chemically Burnt Skin

Because moisturizers have fragrance and chemicals in them that will worsen the burn. Coconut give you just the right of soothing without any of the extra burn and risk of making the situation worse.

14. Acne

Coconut oil is a great Antibacterial For Comedones, Papules & Pustules otherwise known as pimples. It also participates in Healing, and is a great Anti-inflammatory.

Most acne problems are not actually an acne prone skin type, instead they are a wrong conclusion from a misdiagnosis. Many of us self diagnose an acne problem that is in fact a hydration problem.

Treating a hydration problem with an acne treatment actually makes acne worse. The problem
may never go away like this.

Hydration is the amount of water being retained by the skin. The skin needs both oil and water. Skin problems can occur when their is too much or too little oil or water in the skin. In most cases people generally lack water in their skin, that is a lack of hydration. This lack of hydration then causes pimples from irritation, and even worse.. Lack of hydration causes wrinkles! Luckily Coconut Oil's got your back for both of those.

What you want to do is create balance. So instead of trying a harsh acne treatment,
Try washing your face with coconut oil and see how that works out for you. It sure has worked out for me! My face can go from 0 to 100 overnight!

15. Bath Time

It just smells so yummy, and it's so relaxing, luxurious and smooth, both detoxifying and
moisturising for your skin. Sink into a tub, add 2 tablespoons of Coconut oil to your bath water and not only will your bath be silky and perfect, you'll come out with skin to just die for.

WARNING! COCONUT OIL MAY CAUSE OBSESSIONS WITH ONES SELF!

And I'm not sure if that's really a problem.

16. Drink It   

Now that I consume so many Raw Fruits and Veggies on a daily basis, going a day without them is like a year without water. I realise just how much our body needs them, and now I feel withered and in need of fruit when I'm not getting my fair share.

What does this really mean?

It means that we actually get used to this withered no good feeling, and we cant explain what's wrong with us...  Eat the fruit... Especially Organic fruit. That's what's wrong with us.

So when I say I feel dehydrated from lack of fruit, it's not actually because I'm a vegetarian fighting for my health, it's because I now realise and can feel the difference in how important getting the right fruits and veggies really is. This is why I just love Farmers Markets and am obsessed with Juicing.

This is the same when drinking the Coconut Water. Upon drinking the Coconut Water you'll notice the immediate hydration something we should feel at least once a day. Those who grow up among Coconuts are among the Healthiest People In The World.
     
Refer back to Health Benefits of  cooking with Coconut Oil to re review those Health
Benefits as they also apply here.

Aside from the pre listed Health Benefits from the Coconut Oil reference, Coconut Water has more Potassium than a Banana and is filled with Electrolytes. In fact Coconut Water actually replenishes the bodies moisture far better than any sports drink, and is accredited to the success of and by many athletes.

17. Mental Clarity • Prevention of Alzheimer's 

 I don't know if I'm preventing Alzheimer's or what have you, but I like the idea of strong Brain Health and Mental Clarity.. As both a Writer, and a Young Entrepreneur, I can always

use some of that.

Coconut Oil Home Care

I like to have 2 jars of Coconut Oil in the house at all times.

One for cooking. I keep it close to the coffee. #ButterLatte

The second, I use for my Personal Maintenance Regime.

I find keeping 2 jars just helps with contamination. When applying Coconut Oil to the body, one tends to dip their hand in without thinking to grab a spoon first.

Remember to store the second jar, the one dedicated to your skin regime, in a cooler place. Your not going to go through this jar as fast, and when left in a warm place, Coconut Oil tends to turn rancid and grow mold. At this point you will have to throw it out and replace it.

In the perfect cool temperature, Coconut Oil will harden, just enough to appear more as a solid rather than an oil. This is the state in which you want to keep the coconut oil so that it does not go foul, rancid or grow mold.

Cold Coconut Oil will go hard and be impossible too work with.

Purchasing Coconut Oil

You can buy Coconut Oil in any Grocery Store. It's located in both the Organic and the Inorganic Isles. My recommendation is, and always will be, the Organic selection of course.

When purchasing Coconut Oil be sure to buy a Virgin or Extra Virgin Coconut Oil as Refined Coconut Oil will not provide the same Health Benefits.

2 Months After Bellafill • A Bellafill Review

In my first issue regarding Bellafill,, 
I visited Dr Solomon's office to receive a Bellafill Treatment for my marionette lines.


This was my first treatment with Bellafill.


I've absolutely fallen in in love with this product immediately!

If you missed my first article on Bellafill, you can open that up by clicking here : 

☆   For The Love Of Bellafill   ☆

So what about now?

It has been 2 months since I received my first treatment.


And the question is..

Do I still Love Bellafill???

The answer is YES! 

What is Bellafill?

Permanent Filler 

Today 

Today I am here for a second time. 

Dr. Solomon had originally scheduled a  2 month check up, for my original Bellafill results..

And what a wonderful opportunity for more Bellafill! 

So of course I scheduled another treatment of Bellafill for this very same day.

Upon my arrival at Dr. Solomon's office, I came to find out that Bellafill is even cheaper when you are a return client. 

My first visit came up to just a little over $1400.00. 

This time it was $904.00 after taxes! - Thus resulting in one even happier happy customer!

Now keep in mind, that you can't just go finding Bellafill any where you can find Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, and so on.

Dr. Solomon, located on 57 Centre Street in Thornhill, Ontario, is the only Surgeon/ injector performing Bellafill, that I have found so far here in Toronto. 

So if you are thinking about trying Bellafill and you are from the GTA area, Dr.Solomon's is the only office you will find this.

Dr.Solomon is a well known Plastic Surgeon relatively famous to the stars and best known for Rhinoplasty & Oteoplasty. 

In fact even Gene Simmons has been one of Dr.Solomon's clients. 

I can't tell you what work he recieved from Dr.Solomon because this I don't know. I just see the pictures on the walls of all these famous people he's worked on.

I do know, I have seen quite a few excellent noses, and even a couple chins, come out of that office.

My Review

So far, I am absolutely still in love with Bellafill! 

You probably assumed this,
Seeing as how I wrote an article called For 'The LOVE of Bellafill'. 

I actually I love this product more and more every day! 

And the best part about Bellafill is that each area you fill is permanent.

In fact, it's the only fill you can receive that actually is considered permanent. 

Bellafill then goes on to promote your own skin to to produce its own collagen. 

I've read that not too many fillers can really do this effectively..

Collagen is something our skin begins to need more of when we get into our early 30's.

In our 30's we start to experience collagen loss instead of collagen growth, and this results in a sudden droopiness in the face.

You may find this droopage, wrinkles, or folds, around the marionette lines, eyes, cheeks and under the chin and frown lines Especially. 

The face takes on a more serious perhaps dull look as those lines begin to pronounce and we begin to see a more "experienced" or aged persons.

UMMMM!.... I'D RATHER NOT! AND HOW ABOUT NO!

Lets Compare

$600 every year in each area that needs to be filled, and continuous down time ( about a week ) - VERSUS - $1400.00 for something I like to believe are forever results.

.. Meanwhile these forever results drop to $900.00 after your first syringe for every additional syringe.

In the next 4 months this Bellafill continues to develop, and promote your skin to produce its own collagen, there for actually expanding in your skin over a next 4 month period. 

Versus 

No filler, no collagen, no results 1 year after injection.

Don't forget to refer to my Article For The Love Of Bellafill for those specifice in more detail.

SOOOOO.. What does Bellafill mean to me? 

A very emotional 10 years younger, more refreshed appearance with a much smoother face! 

Such a small price for such a priceless feeling and emotion.

As per mentioned, I did go back for more today. I had some indents/ or folds under my eyes filled. 

Every morning, I wake up with puffy eyes and I have this very unnecessary unattractive line setting in.

If I'm really tired.. and I normally am.. the folds tends to deepen and stick around all day.

So, as you may be able to relate.. I'm tired of looking tired.

And it's time to put away those expensive creams already. 

They really haven't done much.

Eye creams for some part, do work.. I'm not going to lie.

I have always had a Go To Eye Cream.

But nothing that's going to give my eyes a real lift. I want more than slight  wake up effect though. I want to forget I ever had to deal with this.

And time goes on, with the more eye creams I use, I find it is getting harder to find a good eye cream that is even effective at all.

The ones that work to well worry me as well.. 

How many chemicals are in there?  

Will it work for today, but cost me more to fix in damages done tomorrow?

So instead of wasting my money trying to hunt down a miracle product that doesn't exist anymore, and frankly, I know better than to believe...

I'm going straight for a real fix.

I'm throwing out the eye creams and going with the Bellafill.

By filling this line with Bellafill, I'm also able to prevent any deeper, longer lines or wrinkles from forming as a result of any of those unsightly puffy folds. This will then soften any other lines resulting from those creases.

It's only been a couple uncomfortable hours and I'm really happy with todays results again already. 

I can see a big difference.

Getting it done really doesnt hurt, Dr. Solomon is quick and precise. You can tell he is indeed confident in what he is doing. 

However, my face does feels lightly swollen and a little soar after the fac. I may even expect to have some blackness under my eyes tomorrow.

Ok.. so I kind of feel like I have been punched in the face a little.. 

But this does not bother me and is irreverent AF, as I'm so excited about the results and could really care less at this point about a punch in the face by the Bellafill monster. 

It's just plain, "Thank you Dr, Solomon, you charming little man." and "Muah!" I could kiss you on both cheeks!

But I wont.

Now...

Getting back too the Bellafill that Ihave  received 2 months ago previous to this appointment, for my marionette lines.

As per mentioned I do still love those results as well.

I feel nothing but confident again that when i go in front of a mirror, the first thing that slaps me in the face is not marionette lines.

Or the evil sleepy lines!

Being Cautious Helps

I'm doing just one syringe at a time so I can really keep a good watch on my results. 

After all, I'm trying to maintain my appearance, NOT change them, or end up looking fake.. 

And this approach seems to be working really well for me 

I'm going to eventually go in and fill more in the marionette region once I see how the forst syringe developes over those next couple months as my own skin continues to produce that collagen.

Dr Solomon did mention that I would want 2 syringes for that, and he was right.. 

and slowly but surely I'll get there.

The results from those Marrionette Lines are already starting to make a big difference, and look great! My confidence is really starting to come back - Even with those 2 months to go before I even see the full results for that first visit, and 4 months again for this new visit.

Any ways, No complications, No erks or weirdness about it, No infections or Granules so No complaints for me, all Love..

Words cant express this kind of Love,,,

BellaLove. ♡♡♡

I Thought This Was The Cutest Thing Ever When I Seen It In His Office Today!!! LOVE IT!

... And So True!

It may be the reason I'm sitting in this chair to begin with.

Awakening The Inner Fashionista

Sometimes it's tough finding something to wear. Wait, let me rephrase that. Finding something to wear can be an absolute nightmare!!!

Even when you have more clothes than you know what to do with. I, yes me, I have more clothes than I no what to do with. So many beautiful pieces I have never even worn. Some still have a price tag from 4 years ago.

I couldn't wear them, I didn't know how to wear them, and I thought I had to buy more clothes to be able to wear them. This resulted in a million clothes.

... And me, sitting In the bottom of a walk in closet  in a pile of clothes with nothing to wear.

So this may be semi disturbing, if I were messy. Messy is tolerable.

But NO! This closet was nice, clean, spacious and organised, by outfit only 5 minutes before I decided I needed something to wear. Now I'm surrounded in a pile bigger than me, that I'm going to have to put back up.

Did I have something to wear yet?... No.

Do I look good by the time I leave the house?... Yes. ..Especially when it comes to Woman's Business Attire or Casual Work Wear, I'm actually good at that (That's another topic I'll cover eventually).

Was that necessary though?... Not at all.

I realised that sifting through Instagram was giving me some ideas.

Or if I wanted to wear something in particular, I'd pick one thing I wanted to wear and google it in images to see it paired with outfits.

Suddenly outfits were getting easier and faster to put together through this referencing this way. Shopping makes more sense.  

So I downloaded some things I wanted to remember, screen shot them, whatever.. And used them as references, or for inspiration. Even if its just the tiniest detail I don't want to forget.

It really has made it easier to get dressed in the morning, so I thought what inspired me, might inspire you. Or perhaps just this technique Itself, may work for you. So,

THESE ARE THE COLLECTED DOWNLOADS AND SCREEN SHOTS FROM MY PHONE

 

I absolutey need this Gold Swan!!!

IF NOT THE OUTFIT, SOMETHING 

 These BOOTS though!!

A COUPLE EYE BROW STYLES...

The closer it gets to those cold Winter Months, I have come to realise I still don't know how to properly bundle up in style. I mean I have a couple ideas but... .. 

I could use a little help.

Thankfully, I have had the Wonderful Opportunity to be Invited to Attend and Blog at 2 Different Fashion Weeks, taking place, right here in Toronto! 

So it's really going to be a great learning experience, up close and personal! 

And you'll be there to see it first hand via KIT VON BLOGGING UPDATES! Cause, my tips are your tips, so get ready for lots of Pictures, Details and Interviews!!! ♡
