Our Reflection

The Jack Chronicles

{Feautured Lovely+GIVEAWAY!}MeetAmy of Up Mommy Creek

I am a 30 year old mom.

I was a goody-two-shoes growing up. 

I loved school (yes...I was one of THOSE kids), 

I went straight from highschool to university and started a pretty decent job right after graduation. 

However, 

2 years in I felt like I was missing something in my life, 

and decided to leave it all behind

and travel to Thailand. 

A couple of years, 

a few countries and many miles later, 

I finally found myself, 

and also found the love of my life. 

We decided to head on back to the Great White North (I am a Canadian) and settle down. 

Now, 

I pretty much spend my days chasing after my little man, 

trying to keep Kitty from destroying the house, 

and when I get a spare second I try to squeeze in some yoga or 

cuddle up on the couch with a good book.

Our little family consists of me, my husband, 

my 9 month old son Finnley 

and our dumb (but very pretty!) cat Kitty. 

My husband and I met while travelling in Thailand, and

we knew pretty quick we were soul-mates 

(as cliche as that is!). 

It took us a couple of years to figure out we couldn't fight fate, and so we married, got a cat and eventually were lucky enough to be able to add to our family with a bouncing baby boy! 

My family is silly, funny, loving 

and I think we're perfect 

(but I may be a bit biased...)

Once I found out I was pregnant, 

and after the excitement wore off, 

I started to realize that I really had no idea what I was doing. 

So, I started 

Up Mommy Creek 

as a way to express my sheer and utter bafflement with the whole experience of pregnancy. 

Since we've progressed now into the land of parenting,

it's really no different. 

I am still clueless and just fly by the seat of my pants usually. 

Parenting is hard work and it's been quite an adventure to figure it all out. 

So on my blog you will usually find a story about something strange 

or ridiculous that recently happened, 

or a recipe that I love, 

or some of my attempts at photographing my son. 

It's pretty much an eclectic mix of all things me (and some things Finnley…)!

Somme Institute {Boost Mask & Eye Cream}

Where'd my wrinkles go?

 Oh heya!  But luckily, I don't make this face often.  LOL!

Hey lovelies! 

Remember a few weeks ago, 

when I shared my love of the Somme Institute's MDT5 Skincare Regimen?  

You just have to compare the pictures from that post to this one!  

Look at my skin after continued daily use!  

Can you find those forehead wrinkles anywhere?

Of course, just when I thought it couldn't get any better, 

I received their Boost mask and their Eye cream to try out.  

 This stuff is delicious…it goes on silky smooth and instantly begins to warm up.  

Want to know the best part? 

It smells like pumpkin pie.  

No, seriously, like...I want to eat it off my face when I use it, thats how delicious it smells.

 After a few minutes, 

I feel as though I'm lounging at a day spa,

feeling tension and stress leave my face.  

Voila…dewey fresh skin, 

ready to "Boost" the rest of my MDT5 skincare regimen.

Overall, I'm highly impressed by the Boost mask (it even made it on my top ten favorite beauty products list)! I love the feel of it on my skin and how it amplifies the effects of the MDT5 regimen!

 How old do I look in this picture?

 My use of the Somme Institute's Eye cream has resulted in several compliments I have received over the last couple of weeks.  

I don't buy alcohol often (because I don't drink), 

so when I was picking up some wine for a brunch, 

and was asked for my ID, I was SHOCKED. 

Hello, biggest compliment ever!

 Here is a before shot.  

You can see fine lines and darkness around the inner part of my eye.

The most noticeable difference you are about to see is 

the darkened skin in the inner eye area is almost completely gone.

 This is after a few weeks of using "Eye."

With make-up on.

The Eye cream goes on super silky and a little teeny bit goes a long way.  

The bottom-line…you have got to try these!  

I received free product to review for this post, however; all of the opinions expressed are authentically my own.
