Lindt came out with a dark chocolate panettone this Christmas. For those of you that don’t know, panettone is a traditional Italian sweet bread. It was a bit pricey, but one of the moistest panettones I tried this year! They were also very generous on the amount of chocolate inside - so good! -

As an avid tea drinker, I’ve tried tons of teas and this tea is great! I went out on a limb and decided to try something new at the beginning of the winter season; mostly because it was on sale at the grocery store. It has such a great taste that I started each day with a cup. I’m convinced it helped prevent me from catching a cold this winter! There is a warning on the label- be cautioned not to consume too many cups a day due to the added zinc content. -

No matter what time of day you go Yorkdale mall is ALWAYS busy. While shopping, my fiancé and I wanted to get a quick coffee. Although the area to pick up your order was crowded, there was virtually no one in the line up to place an order. I ordered and paid for two drinks - one for me and one for him. While moving over the the pickup area, there was complete chaos. There were about 4 baristas making drinks. Watching the other customers, it was obvious that the drinks weren’t being made in order. Several patrons started to get angry staring they had been waiting over 10 minutes. I finally heard my name and one of my orders called. I squeezed through the crowd and picked it up but I was still waiting for the other drink. Similar to other customers who only received half their drinks, I could see the whipped cream melting into their drinks, hot drinks getting cold and the ice in the cold drinks disappearing as the cups sat on the counter. My second drink was called about 7 minutes later. Just enough time for my fiancé’s drink to turn cold while waiting for me to receive mine. What an awful experience! -

In the past couple years I’ve noticed that my hair has started to thin drastically, especially around the crown. I’m only in my late 20’s, so naturally this has been a little unsettling for me. I went to a dermatologist and she suggested another foaming product but there were caveats that I was uncomfortable with including, growing hair on my forehead if I accidentally got the said product on my forehead during treatment. This seemed like a very stressful option so I asked for an alternative recommendation. She then suggested Viviscal pills. Again, I was uncertain about them because of the dedication that is required with taking them twice a day. Long story short - while browsing through the drug store I saw that Viviscal offered shampoo, conditioner and elixir products. I purchased all three and patiently waited for results. It took a few months but I did notice a slighter fullness to my scalp. The products are a little pricey but they last a while and they do work. I’m sure in combination with the pills I would see greater results but I’m satisfied with the improvement! -

I was invited to a Pampered Chef party a few years ago and I didn’t really need anything but I felt bad not purchasing something. I opted for the garlic press as it was relatively inexpensive in comparison to some other items and I had never used one before. Let me tell you, I’m so glad I did. It makes cooking so much easier versus trying to mince garlic with a knife and leaving my hands smelling like garlic for the rest of the day! It is great quality as I still have and is it today, years later. The only downfall is that it comes with a very small scraper to assist with removing some of the remaining garlic from the walls of the cavity. I naturally lost the scraper due to its size, however I haven’t found that I really miss it. It is easy to clean with out it. -
Out of all the dish soaps I’ve used, Dawn is the best! The suds last much longer than competitor brands such as Palmolive, thus, I go through less saving me money! It even works as a spot treatment on clothing stains. I will only use Dawn!

I have thinning hair and I've tried a bunch of natural shampoos and conditioners because I want to stay away from chemicals and unnatural ingredients. I saw it at the grocery store and was interested in purchasing it but it was quite expensive. I then found it at dollarama for $4 and decided to try it out. I found the shampoo to be okay. Just okay. It was nothing special, the scent was not bad but I didn't find it to be anything special. The conditioner was worse than the shampoo. It was like putting lotion in my hair. It didn't feel like it was conditioning my hair and it actually got more tangled when I used it. I might give it another try. I really hoped that it would work for me. -

My sister uses this lotion on my niece and I thought why not use it for me. I have a hard time finding lotions I like. My skin gets very dry and hot (especially my legs and feet at night) but I don't like moisturizing lotions that take forever to dry or are too oily and stain my clothes or sheets. I figured if it was safe and good for babies then it must be good for adults. I bought myself a tube and it's great! -

I got two sample sizes of this eyeliner in brown and black and was very disappointed. The sponge-like applicator was nice to work with but they dried out so fast. At first I thought that I just got a bad one but it was both of them. The brown wasn't very strong or opaque in colour. I had to go over the lines a few times for it to show nicely. But if it dried too quickly, going over it again would wipe off the lines. For both the black and the brown I found that if I accidentally touched the corners of my eyes, the liner would rub off. I'd end up with missing sections of liner. It was awful. I really wanted it to work :( -
I have this lipstick in soooo many colours. It dries fast and stays on all day. Its my go-to for all occasions because I know I won't have to reapply and it looks great. I absolutely love them!
