I used Oscar Blandi for a long time before moving on to other dry shampoos. I just don't really feel like this shampoo was rave-worthy. I don't like that it is not an aerosol applicator, as this made it harder to gauge what was coming out. It worked fine, but not great. It didn't leave me feeling particularly convinced that I looked less greasey. Overall, it's expensive, and there's better out there. -
Coffee-mate Original Powder Coffee Creamer
Meh, this is the creamer we use in our office (because powder is easier than real cream). As a coffee-lover, I consider this stuff to be low-grade and one of those creamers you use when you want a sugary, fake-flavored coffee for the novelty of it... +
Meh, this is the creamer we use in our office (because powder is easier than real cream). As a coffee-lover, I consider this stuff to be low-grade and one of those creamers you use when you want a sugary, fake-flavored coffee for the novelty of it. Wouldn't recommend. -

Local designer out of Edmonton started Nowhere Fast. Amazing brand. He is very, very nice and makes high quality clothing. I would highly recommend checking out the studio when in town, or searching for Nowhere Fast online. The looks are comfortable, fitted, and simplistic - which I can really enjoy. -

I worked at an optometrists, and this was the only brand that we pushed on our customers/patients. Clear Care is about $20 for two bottles, which last long enough that I can't recall how often I need to get it (infrequently). The bottles come with a small container for putting your contacts in. Once you fill it, it needs to sit for six hours (biggest downside) as the metal in the container reacts with the solution and fizzes all night. I can't stress enough how much safer this solution is - no rubbing, no rinsing (don't accidentally rinse as you take them out!), and fully cleans your contacts better than most other brands can. Highly recommend for the cleanest contacts possible with the least amount of effort! -

I purchased a shoulder bag from Urban Outfitters by the brand Street Level. The bag is large and simple; the exterior is brown leather while the interior is coloured royal blue (and it is reversible) - the photo is not the colour scheme that I bought.
It came with a baby zip up as well, which I've taken to using on bar nights. I can't rave enough about this bag/brand. I carry my laptop to school with it, and it has held up without showing signs of wear/tear. It gets me compliments on the regular. It's convenient and without treating it very nicely, has withstood heavy loads for both school and regular purse-use for a year without damage. Check this brand out!

These were not cheap full price, but I did find them on sale! I found that these strips were far too intense to use at the recommended rate. My teeth were sore after daily application, and became super sensitive - something I wasn't into. However, once I switched to using them once every two days, my teeth were not in pain, and I noticed a MUCH whiter smile which lasted for months! My dentist also said that using the whitestrips myself was a smart buy, because I was able to control the intensity of them (how often/long I used them for) rather than professional get my teeth whitened. My teeth are generally white enough, but these really took my smile to catalog-level ;) -

This razor is not as great as some others which provide a soothing applicator in order to shave, but I like it a lot better than Venus, and have used it for a long time without nicks and cuts. I do find that the razors deteriorate quickly, but if I am only shaving my armpits (rather than full leg area), it can last for several weeks just fine. -

Greenworks is made with plant and mineral-based materials and free of petrochemicals, so I feel much better about using this product than many others. I was first exposed to it when working as a server in a small cafe, which spoke to the quality of the product in terms of cutting away grease and mess. We would use it on our storage cases for desserts and along the coffee bar. There is not a strong smell, which I also really enjoy. -
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat

This stuff is a miracle. I purchased it at Winners for about $15, so the price was still quite high, but not the normal cost which I would find to be too much. It is, however, amazing. Large blobby drops will dry hard, and FAST, compared to other top coats. You can apply it without worrying about making a thin enough coat to continue with your life afterwards (vs. waiting for the usual ten minutes or so before doing anything and still being worried that you will make a dent in your top coat). HIGHLY recommend, and also recommend seeking this out somewhere for a discounted price - the quality was fine even though it was probably not a new bottle. -
Essie Nail Polish in Playground

I love Essie nail polishes. They dry very fast, can be applied in two to three coats, and are fantastic colours. Rather than spending $20 on a high-end product, I always choose $8 Essie. This colour in particular (pale sea foamish) is fabulous for this summer. I also find that Essie nail polishes last a lot longer than sephora brands and other high-end bottles. -
