Paper towels are a staple in our kitchen, so I was very excited to try out this product. I liked that it was very absorptive of liquids and doesn’t break apart easily. If I dampen it, I can still reuse it again which helps reduce the amount of paper towels I need each time. It doesn’t feel too rough either when I used it. -

I have been using 2-3 times a week for a few weeks now right before my bed, and I have found my skin to be very hydrated. It wasn’t irritated by any of the ingredients. It smells very good and when applied, it has a cooling sensation that makes my skin feel very refreshed. It’s not sticky to apply and absorbs into the skin fairly quickly. -
Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum
I have been using this serum 3-4 times a week after I shower and my skin has enjoyed it. My skin felt very soft and supple and well hydrated. There’s no stickiness to it and it dries quickly enough afterwards.

The Citrus smell really comes through in this product, but not in an overwhelming way. Each sheet is easily pulled apart from one another, making it very convenient to use. Sometimes you have to be careful to not pull out too much of the connecting sheet, or the lid may not close properly and the remaining sheets will lose moisture. Each sheet has a lot of the cleaning liquid that can help clean a lot of counter surface area, and can really scrub out the dirt and grease left behind. -

Essie nail polishes are one of my go-to's when I want to do my own nails. I love the colour range it provides as you can find almost any shade you want. It does take two coats minimum to provide a solid shade, otherwise it becomes too transparent. It also isn't chip-proof and often peels off within 2-3 days, which I find a little frustrating. -

I loved the smell of this product as it makes me want to eat it. It applies really easy and moisturizes my lips, but I do need to reapply it several times. The packaging is nice and makes it easy to use and travel with. However, one of my lip balms did break off after awhile and made it more messy and difficult to retract as it got stuck to the lid, which hasn't happened with other lip balms I have tried. -

I have a few of these lip shimmers in different shades that I carry around in various purses. Its narrow packaging makes it easy to apply on my lips without going outside lips and smudging. The colours that I have tried really pop, but the staying power isn't strong after drinking or eating. I'll need to reapply it several times during the day, especially after mealtime, if I want to maintain the same pigmentation. It makes my lips feel very moist though, and gives my lips a refreshing and almost tingling feeling after application. It's small enough that it's easy to carry without feeling bulky, but I wouldn't keep it in anywhere warm or it may melt a bit. -

I was very excited to try this as I often pluck my eyebrows instead of going to the salon and wanted something easier and quicker to use. I really liked the pen design as its sleek and trendy, especially with the rose-gold accent. The light at the end also helps with seeing the hair I’m trying to remove, but not absolutely necessary. The buzzing is louder than expected, but doesn’t actually cause any pain when being used. I moved it in a circular motion as suggested and it removed most of my hair on the first try, but I did have to go back to several areas multiple times to remove stray hairs. It doesn’t produce a perfect finish as you can see stubble-like pieces left since it doesn’t pluck the hair from its follicles. However, it is super convenient to use and I would continue to use it whenever my face isn’t being closely examined or photographed. -

I’ve been a long time user of burt’s bees products, especially their lip balm products. I like that this keeps my lips moist and it can last a long time, but like a lot of its lip balms, it doesn’t smell the best. Very natural smell, but not my preference. It also needs to be reapplied throughout the day to maintain moisture on my lips, though I find that to be the same with many other lips balms of other brands. -

The use of grocery delivery services have increased during the pandemic, but I had never tried it until now. When I received a discount of $25 for purchases of $100+ from Chickadvisor in exchange of trying out the new delivery service, Viola by Sobeys, I jumped at the chance to try it out on a busy weekend.
The overall process of buying the groceries was very simple. Once I made an account online, I could see all the items I could buy with a simple click. Items were all categorized and can be filtered and searched, which made shopping very organized and easy. I could easily add or delete an item from my cart if I changed my mind, and I could also easily see the total spend at the top right corner without having to do any math. Booking a delivery slot was also easy, although the availability was a little scarce. There was a little hiccup when trying to enter my address for the delivery, as it kept incorrectly changing my unit number. This was a little frustrating, but there was a box that allowed you to include special delivery instructions, so I was able to note the correct address.
The actual delivery process was very smooth. I received a call about 15min prior to the actual delivery, where Sobeys checked in with me to let me know they are coming. They also confirmed the special delivery instructions and clarified that it was a contactless delivery during this time. Once they arrived, I saw that all the items were nicely packed in bags and on my porch. I was told all the groceries were temperature checked and any substitutions were explained - which there was none for me.
Overall, this whole experience was very positive despite the scarce delivery slots and the address issue. It really saved time from having to physically go into the store, find various items, line up and come back home. I would definitely consider it again when I have a packed weekend planned.
