I don't use a ton of makeup, but I do like to smooth my face out a little bit for special evenings.
I find a little touch of this makeup combined with my clinique moisturizer gets good, even coverage, while smoothing out my skin, without being too heavy or made-up looking.
Great value, and the thin consistency lends itself to being blended with the moisturizer nice and evenly.

I find this to be just okay. I like a mositurizing bar that leaves my skin feeling a bit more silky than Dove does. I have dry, sensitive skin, and it does not cause me to react, which is good. I just always feel like somethign is missing.
I tend to use more natural bars, with goat's milk, or a slightly different scent, like patchouli (which, believe me, I know is not for everyone).
Fine soap, just not all that exciting for bathtime.

Secret Antiperspirant Scent Expressions

This antipersirant was fine.
Just fine.
The one and only reason I use it is when I am wearing a black tank or dress. The scent is a little too strong for my liking, and I found that it stings if you put it too soon after shaving.
I have been battling white marks for years, and find this is the best solution. I don't use it in my day-to-day, but always keep it on hand for those little black dress evenings.

The only facial regiment I have. I LOVE the 3-step program.
I have combination skin. Super dry (especially in the winter), with some oily patches around my hairline. These products keep my skin moist, not oily, without being harsh, or weighty. I take my time, and really enjoy doing the face-washing. I feel like I was at a spa every time I use it.
When I started using it (I was 22 with fine skin to begin with - no break-outs, or noticably blotchy patches), people NOTICED that my skin looked different. It FEELS good, and I always buy when Clinique is doing their free gift, to maximize the value.
Can't recommend enough.

Ferrero Rocher
A gift from the angels. Is there a better day in the world than February 15th, when the V-Day chocolate goes on sale? I am always hunting for these bad boys. If I had one wish, it would be that these had the nutruitional value of kale.

This is my favourite cereal ever. EVER.
I stocked up on about 20 boxes when they were here for a limited time release. Now that they are permanently on the shelf, I am one happy camper. The peanut flavour isn't over stated, and they aren't sickeningly sweet like other cereals.
For a special treat, mix half and half with cocoa cheerios. Heaven!

Febreze Car Vent Clips Freshener in Linen & Sky

Way way way way way way WAY too strong.
As I find with most febreze scents, i liked it initially, but then it quickly became nausea-inducing. The price is good, and the staying power is there, but I thought it was gross.
I can see if your car smells like dog, or cigarettes, that this is a fine alternative, but if you are just looking for a little pick-me-up, this is overkill.

These are expensive, but not as expensive as a trip to the dentist.
My teeth were slightly sensitive after use, but that is absolutely normal. It wasn' t unbearable, I just couldn't eat ice cream, or ice water until at least the following day. I have noticed a huge improvement in my smile, and I keep a few in my makeup bag for a touch up before a party. I would highly reccomend, but I just wish they were a little cheaper.
I have used bleaching mouth guard-type appliances before, and they make me gag. The white strips did not, and I could still drink water with the help of a straw. I could speak, but sounded funny, but it was far better than the dental trays.

I have had Nutella cake, nutella on toast, on crackers, etc. All delicious.
However, my favourite way to eat it is on a spoon.
If I were on death row, this would be my final meal. I love hazelnuts, I love chocolate. I love Nutella. Worth every penny and calorie.
