Just Add Heat- WHAT'S FOR DINNER
Just Add Heat- WHAT'S FOR DINNER?
By 4pm on any given day, many families do not know the answer to that question. We all need to eat and we all want to make the best food choices, so why not stock your freezer with a variety of delicious wholesome meals? The award winning Just Add Heat at Ford Drive and Cornwall provides a solution to this age old dilemma. They provide a wide range of meal selections - 16 new choices each month - and most of their meals are available in portion sizes for two, four, or six people. You can make an appointment in their professional style kitchen and assemble your own meals, customizing the recipes to your family's likes and dislikes, or if you're really strapped for time, let their staff assemble your meals for no extra charge. Just Add Heat meals are affordable, easy to prepare, and they certainly spice up your family's meal repertoire. Anyone can make meals like "Pork Roast with Balsamic Fig Glaze", "Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken with Mushrooms", "Shrimp & Pea Risotto" and so much more. A home cooked meal with your whole family seated together should not be a special occasion.
Just Add Heat recently expanded to include Kafene, a gourmet coffee shop with espresso based coffees, grilled panini, soup, breakfast sandwiches, homemade muffins, pastries, and more. Drop by Kafene, either before or after your assembly sessions for a snack! Both Just Add Heat and Kafene are open daily.
Host a private session with 4-8 friends and receive a $20 Just Add Heat gift card (to be used towards a future purchase) for each new person you refer! And your friends will receive a 25% discount as first timers. You may take the referral gift card OR the 25% discount if this is also your first online order.

This month's review: Blo: Blow Dry Bar
Blo: Blow Dry Bar
Blo is a Blow Dry Bar. Scissors are verboten. Dye, ditto. For around 30 dollars, in about 30 minutes, get a wash and blow out style. No cuts, no colour: Just WASH BLOW GO. Clients — also known as “Hair Cadets” — choose from 7 styles featured in the Blo Hair Menu, from the sexy razor-straight “Executive Sweet” to the rocker-chic inspired “Sex, Hugs and Rock & Roll”. Double-click to blomedry.com for the skinny.
6 locations to serve you:
Yaletown, South Granville, Four Seasons Vancouver, Yonge Street, Four Seasons Toronto and Oakville (107 Thomas Street, Tel: 905-845-2568)
Oakville Moms Review:
When was the last time you've had some "ME" time? Are you always busy with your child(ren) and no time to fix your hair? Then Blo is your destination and you only need 30 min to spare. Blo is a Blow Dry Bar which is first to market no cuts, no colour concept in North America. Select from 7 hot styles, the cost is about $30 and 30 min later you are out with a sexy hairstyle. I was so excited to check out Oakville's Blo Blow Dry Bar and I was impressed with the stylish set-up. Great decor! I was offered a drink (choice of bottled water or vitamin water), and they have a friendly staff. My hair was washed and then I selected the "HollyWould" style. I had plans that day to go out with my husband and I couldn't wait to see how it turned out. They only used a dryer and a round brush to style my hair. Blo stylist was so great and before I knew it I was ready to leave Blo. My hair looked amazing and so curly. It was truly a different experience for me and I was very happy with the end result. If you need some "ME" time or need to have your hair done before an outing, Blo Blow Dry Bar is an option for you. Can't wait to go there again!

This month's review: Sugarloaf Artisanal Soaps
Sugarloaf Artisanal Soaps are lovingly handmade in small batches using the time honoured, traditional cold process method. All natural fair trade botanical oils and emollients are used and chosen for their ability to effectively clean and condition skin without stripping of natural oils and without leaving behind a film. It doesn't stop at being the best thing for your skin - these soaps are also kinder to the environment by being phosphate free; detergent free; and sulphate free. There is little to no waste compared to liquid soaps that need to be stored in plastic. Also, being 100% biodegradable, they are safe for lakes and rivers.Even if you already use a commercial bar for sensitive skin or for babies you will be pleasantly surprised at how these soaps lather, clean and condition. Feel your skin again! Tested on finicky humans only.

Oakville Moms Review:
Last month I was searching for something different to try and I had the pleasure of coming across Sugarloaf Artisanal Soaps. I've never tried homemade soaps and I was so pleasantly surprised by the amazing scents I had to choose from. Sugarloaf Artisanal Soaps evens offers samples to try before you commit to a larger order. Sugarloaf Artisanal Soaps cleans and conditions GENTLY without detergents, phosphates, or sulphates.

Norwex
Norwex
You are invited to join a revolution in cleaning with Norwex Enviro Products! Celebrating 10 years in Canada, Norwex offers a range of green cleaning products that will help you to significantly reduce the amount of chemical cleaner you use to keep your home and workplace clean.
Household Dangers
Just how important is it to stop using the majority of household chemical cleaners? Just check out these statistics:
“According to the Consumer Protection Agency, 150 chemicals found in the home are connected to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological disorders.”
How about this one??
“Out of 2 435 pesticide poisonings in a one-year period, over 40% were due to exposure to disinfectants and similar cleaning products in the home.” (Source:State of California Study)
Antibacterial Microfiber
The Norwex Antibacterial microfiber cleaning cloths are the most innovative in the industry, allowing you to remove 99.9% of dirt and bacteria from all surfaces using only water... no chemicals required!
Our flagship product, the Enviro Cloth removes dust, dirt and grease from all washable surfaces, while preventing the transfer of germs to your hands, and cross-contamination between surfaces. Use it dry for dusting, or damp for cleaning walls, tiles, bathtubs, counters, metal surfaces, car interiors, etc.The Antibac Window Polishing Cloth allows you to clean your windows, mirrors, jewelry, and shiny surfaces with water alone. No more glass cleaners needed!To view the complete product line, visit www.cleaningqueen.net. This full E-Commerce site offers shipping straight to your door for the low price of $4.95, no matter the size of your order!”
It’s not an exaggeration when we say that people can save money and time when they use Norwex Enviro Products.
It’s estimated that the average household will spend as much as $500 annually on cleaning products. When you make the switch to Norwex Enviro Products, you’ll spend half that amount, while reducing your cleaning time by about 75%!
How is this possible? Well, the microfiber does such a good job of cleaning grime from surfaces, that counters, floors, etc. literally don’t get dirty as quickly, and they clean up much faster. And, you are no longer using mountains of paper towels, various bottles of chemical cleaners, etc.
Products for Every Room of the House
Norwex Enviro Products offers cleaning solutions for all areas of the house, including the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room. We have odour eliminator sprays, floor washing systems, stain removers… even stuff for the car!

Oakville Moms Review:Are you a busy mom and sometimes need a break when it comes to cooking dinner? Then Just Add Heat is the place for you.

I had the pleasure of trying a few different meals: Chicken Pesto Lasagna; Creamy Sweet Potato Soup (Vegetarian); Mojo Beef Stir Fry. Just Add Heat was very generous and I couldn't wait to try them all! It was just nice to know I had meals ready in my freezer. All I had to do is add heat and it was ready for my family. This really helped me out after having a long and tiring day with the kids!!! Each meal comes well packaged and with easy instructions to follow. They also include ingredients and nutritional facts.

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids - Oakville
We're excited to announce our upcoming "Sharkey's CARES for Kids" charity event. Women's Shelters are charities that we are both very passionate about and we'd like to thank you in advance for taking the time to read this newsletter.
We are asking everyone to please come out and do some Holiday Shopping at our event. We are raising money for many local children who have had their lives pulled out from under them during the Holiday Season. It may not have been a great life, but it was their life. That is a lot for a child to go through - not to mention potentially losing their Holidays at the same time.
So please, save the date and come join us!November 16-22, 2009For more information, click HERE

Glow Baby
Founded in Toronto by Lindsay Harris, Glow Baby is dedicated to providing unique and user friendly scheduling tools for today’s busy parents. As a mother of two young daughters, Ainsley and Juliet, Lindsay quickly came to appreciate the difficulties of caring for a toddler while at the same time making sure the needs of her newborn where met.
“Baby’s First Journal” was developed to help parents through this difficult period. It provides a place to track all the important details of your newborns schedule. The tracking enables parents to better understand their baby’s patterns and to support a schedule that made everyone’s lives easier, while at the same time reducing stress.
In the near future Glow Baby will be launching a full suite of scheduling tools designed to help both parents of newborns and families simplify their lives.

Oakville Moms Review:
When I first heard of Glow Baby I thought I wish I had this when my boys were babies. Glow Baby has created the "Baby’s First Journal", a well designed and organized journal in which you can keep track of your baby's feedings (breastfeeding and/or bottle feeding), sleeping, and diapering routine. You can make note of your baby's bath time and vitamin intake (I sometimes wasn't sure if I gave my sons their vitamin at times, should have kept track of it!!!). You can also make note of your baby's daily achievements, this is a must for new parents and something memorable to look back at. Glow Baby has also added a page where you can keep track of your child's height, weight and head circumference, very useful for the doctor's checkups. Overall Glow Baby's "Baby’s First Journal" is a practical log book for parents with babies, whether it's your first or third child, we all need to record our baby's development. Select from blue, pink or green colours. This definitely makes a great baby shower gift or for someone that just had a baby.
