School is officially over and family vacations are to be had!  Do you love road trips as much as my family does? If so, I hope you got your alignment checked. The weather has been dreadful in Winnipeg.  We had one of the biggest snowfalls this winter in over a hundred years, followed by a lot of rain in the spring, more snow, and not-so-nice temperatures. We switched out our winter tires about 3 weeks ago!  The potholes in this city are a nightmare too!  Every time we’d try to be careful over one or not see one until it is too late, boom- a little nudge off of the alignment ..read more

I first started using Clayton Shagal about 20 years ago, when I was in aesthetics school back in Toronto. Across the street from my school was a lovely French spa and I was going in for facials to check it all out.  I’ve been using the whole line now consistently for about 8 months and I absolutely love the appearance of my skin.  I’m still working on those fine lines around my eyes but the Collagen Gel is my absolute favourite from the whole skin care line.  I even use it after I have my micro needling.  La Maison Clayton Shagal has followed the premise that the true essen ..read more
