February is definitely my favourite winter month. Valentine’s Day (my favourite pink-filled holiday) falls in February and it’s also my birthday month! February can be depressing weather-wise so it’s nice having an excuse to celebrate. I love celebrating Valentine’s Day with my love, but I’m also loving the new tradition of celebrating Galentine’s Day with your best “gals”. This year, I’ve partnered up with some of my favourite blogger friends to bring you some Galentine’s Day inspiration and set you up for the ultimate night out with your girls and/or your man.
Check out the amazing prizes below ($900 value!) and be sure to enter using the Rafflecoptor at the bottom of the post! You can also check out my social media accounts for more ways to enter.
One lucky winner will receive a new curling wand from Trade Secrets, the new Kiss by Rihanna perfume from Shoppers Drug Mart, a pair of shoes from Skechers, a handbag from Nine West, Clarisonic Face Cleansing Device, and a gift card valued at $200 from Joeyco!!!
Perfect skin is the basis for feeling confident and confidence is key on Valentine’s Day! How ADORABLE is this pink Clarisonic Mia Fit cleansing device? I’m seriously in love with it. It looks so cute sitting on my bathroom counter and it completely changes your face washing game. I’ve especially needed it lately to get rid of dry skin during these cold winter months. I have really dry skin and without the light exfoliation of this device my skin turns flaky when I put my face makeup on. You could win your own Mia Fit by entering our contest or you can visit their website and receive 14% off until Valentine’s Day.
Smelling delicious on Valentine’s Day is a must so you’ll need a flirty new fragrance! I really loved Rihanna’s last fragrance called Crush but after testing her newest fragrance called Kiss, I now have a new fav! Fragrance makes an amazing Valentine’s Day gift idea and you can find this one at Shoppers Drug Mart. The white floral fragrance is mixed with top notes of Neroli with a touch of juicy plum and Freesia. At the heart is orange blossom, Gardenia and Asian Peony. The base is cashmere wood, cedarwood and Ambergris. Also, how cute is the bottle?
Bouncy, bombshell curls are next on the Valentine’s Day checklist. I’m so excited that we get to give away this Babyliss hair wand from Trade Secrets. If your hair doesn’t curl easily or doesn’t hold curls very well, this is the perfect wand for you. I visit Trade Secrets any time I need a new curling iron and I recently picked up THIS Babyliss iron. I love alternating between a curling iron and a wand to achieve different looks for different occasions. I like to use a curling iron for more day-to-day natural curls and then I use the wand for special occasions when I want an extra glammed up look. From now until February 24th at Trade Secrets, you can get savings up to 60% off and buy 2 and get 1 free on select nail polish brands like Essie, Vinylux, Color Club, OPI.
The perfect little handbag is the finishing touch on any outfit on Valentine’s Day. Part of the prize pack will include a Nine West handbag of your choosing and I’m loving this pink one pictured below! But, if you’re more into red and hearts for Valentine’s Day you have to check out the Nine West Valentine’s Day collection HERE. From now until Valentine’s Day, if you purcahse one of the Valentine’s Day collection shoes you will receive the matching handbag for just $50!
At least a few times a week I catch myself saying “I wish someone would just deliver me ___”. Insert the word ice cream, groceries, McDonalds, Starbucks, dry cleaning, cupcakes etc. etc. There’s so many times in our lives where we are either too busy or too lazy to go and get whatever it is we need or are craving at that moment. Especially living in Toronto where venturing out means dealing with traffic and paying for parking. Insert JoeyCo, the genius delivery service app that will deliver just about anything you request. It can also come in handy on days like Valentine’s Day where you can just have flowers, dinner, chocolates and gifts delivered and save yourself alot of time! The lucky winner of our contest will receive a $200 gift card to use towards JoeyCo services!
Cute shoes are a must for any Galentine’s Day! These Skechers shoes are so lightweight and comfortable they seriously feel like slippers. I can see why their slogan is “Comfort Included”. I picked out the cute light pink one’s pictured below (of course!). I’m loving them for workouts at the gym because they are so lightweight and form to your foot. I’ve also been pairing them with jeans on the weekend when I’m out in about and I love that they can work double duty as workout or casual shoes!
Special thanks to the Waterside Inn in Port Credit for letting us shoot on location in their beautiful penthouse suite! They are offering a delicious Prixe Fixe menu for Valentine’s Day at their Breakwater Restaurant and there’s also a special Valentine’s Day brunch on February 12th.
