As many of you know, my little brother graduated from Grade 8 yesterday.
Two years ago my cousin and my best friend's little brother graduated from grade 8 and it didn't compare to my brother's graduation.
The age gap between my brother and I is five years, so I still see him as little, whereas my cousin acts closer to my age.
Not only was my brother graduating, but so was my cousin and my basically sister.
If you're asking why I keep calling her my basically sister, it's because her mom babysat me when I was little and I dance with her.
I spend so much time with her that she is family to my brother and I.
It was definitely something else watching them graduate.
I knew 90% of my brother's grade because they've grown up together and seeing all the guys in their suits and all the girls in their dresses made them look so old!
Last I remember they were tiny little things and suddenly they look like they are ready for high school.
I was happy to be involved in all three of their getting ready processes.
I helped my brother with his hair and did the girls' makeup.
Seeing their before and afters was amazing.
My brother looked handsome and the girls looked absolutely beautiful.
The gym was bloody hot and it was very full, so I started melting after 10 minutes.
But it was definitely worth it :)
I thought it would be nice if I shared some photos of the night with you all!
My brother all grown up!

What a beautiful day it is here in Ontario, I hope you guys are having nice weather!
Happy Summer :)
If you're still in school, I hope that your exams are going well!
This week's favourites ended up being a lot of body and face products.
I guess I'm just loving body products this week!
My first favourite is Victoria's Secret Charm Deep-Softening Body Butter in the scent honeysuckle and jasmine.
I've had this product for about five months or so and I love it.
After a few days of wearing it, I noticed a large difference in my skin.
It does an excellent job of softening it.
I've used about half of the jar.
I like that it isn't very thick and my skin doesn't feel slimy after I apply it.
I use this after I get out of the shower and my skin just absorbs all of the moisture.
On top of that, it smells great!
It's a flowery scent and smells like it could be perfume.
The smell isn't too over powering either.
This is Aveeno's Intense Relief Hand Cream.
I love Aveeno products, I have their cleanser, their moisturizer and this hand cream.
My body responds to these products amazingly.
They are a little pricier than other drug store body products, but they are definitely worth the price.
So, I started my new job at Harvey's and I wear gloves a lot of the time whilst I am garnishing people's burgers.
The gloves really dry my hands out and I can't stand dry hands.
My hands are always moisturized and are very soft.
My dad came home at the beginning of the week with this and I had to try it.
I come home from work and the first thing I do is put this on.
They are instantly soft again and it doesn't feel dry at all.
My favourite thing about this hand cream is that it isn't greasy.
95% of the hand creams that I own or have tried leave me with greasy hands.
But this one doesn't at all!
The cream is absorbed immediately :)
This funky, little brush made an appearance in my haul post that I posted two hauls back.
It is Goody's Tangle FX brush and it works wonders.
My hair is a rat's nest when I come out of the shower and it hurts my head to brush through it.
So since I bought this brush, I've been using this and my L'Oreal Detangle Spray when I come out of the shower.
There is no pain when I brush through my hair.
I'll run this through my hair and I literally don't feel any tugging or pulling.
This is so gentle with my hair and I love it!
The bristles feel sharp when I run my finger along them, but they aren't like that when I brush my hair!
I love this little guy!
My last product favourite is Rimmel London's Wake Me Up concealer.
Before this I was using a concealer from E.L.F and I wasn't impressed.
I bought this to replace my other one and I love it.
It provides excellent coverage and brightens underneath my eye!
I have the shade light/medium and it blends in very nicely!
If you guys are looking for a great drug store concealer I recommend this one!
My last favourite is a video.
So, let me get this out of the way...I love One Direction :)
They did a Skype Scavenger Hunt with Jimmy Kimmel.
This is honestly hilarious and my stomach hurts every time I watch this!
They are so funny and good looking ;)
This is definitely worth watching, I guarantee you will laugh and you will laugh harder if you love One Direction! :)
That's it for this week :)
Let me know if you've tried any of these products or if you recommend any products that I should try!
