HAPPY HALLOWEEN: Pumpkin Seeds and GIVEAWAY Winner

FIRST OFF,

HAPPY HALLLOOOOOWEEEEN!!!

I hope you all are enjoying your day and if you're going trick or treating or taking your children trick or treating make sure you have loads of fun and stay safe.

I have decided to postpone my October Favourites and do that post next week and today I am going to share with you my pumpkin seed love and my favourite simple recipe for baking them but before I do that I have to get to the GIVEAWAY winner.

If you remember from 2 weeks ago I was hosting a GIVEAWAY of Bioderma Cleansing Water and Nars Purifying Foam Cleanser and yesterday at 11:59pm the GIVEAWAY ended and I have announced the winner on Twitter but I will officially announce it here as well. The winner is..... Let's have a DRUMROLL.......................  CHRISTINA DRAGAN!

I have contacted Christina by email. If winners of my GIVEAWAYS do not contact me within 3 days I will have to choose another winner.

Thank you all for entering my October GIVEAWAYS this month. I am done with GIVEAWAYS for now but I can guarantee that I will have at least 1 GIVEAWAY in December so stay tuned for that.

In the Kitchen with Cate: Adventures In Taco Land

Hello everyone,


I hope you all are having a great week. If you don't already know I am hosting a GIVEAWAY and you should enter because it ends on October 30th at 11:59pm so ENTER HERE.

So now on to the post...

My family and I have been doing Taco Wednesday's and I am just loving it. Tacos are so easy to make, they don't take much time at all and you can make them in a variety of different ways. I thought I would show you how I make them this week. Now I make tacos a very non traditional way and I love it!

Now, on to the next GIVEAWAY

So for this GIVEAWAY I am giving away 2 items.

If you remember the first day of BEDA, we had a Battle of the Cleansing Waters and I told you all that Bioderma is my all time favourite cleansing water and now I will be giving one brand new bottle away to one of you.

The next thing I am giving away is a cleanser. I have not talked about this before but it is a great cleanser for those of you with oily skin. It is the Nars Purifying Foaming Cleanser. I thought this would go great as a cleansing duo.


So the GIVEAWAY rules are the same as last time:

1) You must be a blog subscriber (This giveaway is only for blog supporters). I have finally successfully added a follow button on the right hand side of the blog to make it easy for you to follow the blog, just click on the button that says "Join this site" and follow the instructions in the pop up window. You must be following in order to win (I will be checking). 

2) You must comment below on THIS giveaway blog post. This is the only way I know that you have entered the giveaway.

4) You may enter as many times as you like by commenting on the giveaway blog post.

5) Lastly, if you are under 18 you must have your parents permission because I will need to ask for your mailing address to ship the item to you so they need to be okay with you providing me with this information. 

This GIVEAWAY will run for 2 weeks and end at 11:59pm on October 30, 2013 and on Thursday OCTOBER 31, 2013 (Halloween :)) I will announce the winner in a new blog post that will go up on this blog. I will also announce the winner on Twitter so make sure you follow me there for any updates.

CLEANSER SPOTLIGHT: St. Ives Apricot Scrub Review

Hello Everyone,

Just a reminder before I get on with the review, that my first  GIVEAWAY is still up and running and you can enter until October 16th at 11:59 pm and I will announce the winners on Twitter after Midnight and in a brand new blog post at 8:00am.

Make sure you enter the GIVEAWAY by clicking this link and following the instructions which are also in the post.

Today I am starting a new segment which I have talked about incorporating before and it is called CLEANSER SPOTLIGHT. I love trying cleansers and switching them up. Cleansers are not meant to do miraculous things and truthfully they only stay on your skin for a limited amount of time so you don't need cleansers that are too fancy. I like trying new ones and seeing what is being offered and how well they perform so I have a brand new CLEANSER SPOTLIGHT for you today.
