CANVAS Sifton 1-Light Pendant Light with Clear Glass Shade, Matte Black

Turns out I have nowhere in my condo to install this light, without paying for some expensive electric work. I gave it to my parents so they can hopefully install it in their home or that of someone they know, and I can take a picture with it then, but they've been travelling a lot and haven't had a chance to install it yet either. So I haven't actually seen it installed. The light itself is good quality and attractive - although it doesn't come with a light bulb. This style of light just seems to be more trouble than it's worth for me. I would buy from the brand, but not this style of light again. -

I was pleasantly surprised by the feel of these lip butters when applying them! The only thing I was a bit disappointed by was how much I had to apply in order to see a hint of the colour. I received three different colours in exchange for a review, but you really can't tell the difference between them on your lips unless you look quite hard. So, in terms of moisture, thumbs up, but in terms of colour, thumbs down. And it's too expensive to purchase solely as a chapstick. -

Not only did the gloss colour look much more natural on my lips than in the bottle, which quelled my first fear; but I also found it is ACTUALLY HYDRATING on my lips! Every other gloss I've used ends up leaving a gross residue, or the colour is much too strong and doesn't blend with my lips, or it feels drying. This Prisma gloss does not have any of those issues! Assuming it's not too expensive, I would buy it myself (as I received this one as a free sample). -

I received this product for free. The first thing I noticed was the incredible smell of caramel while it was being made. Then I tasted it, and I have no complaints. I usually get dark coffee, but this is really good considering it’s medium roast. Like, I would actually buy it, assuming it’s not crazy expensive. -

I had developed a rash under my arms because Dove deodorant irritated them. After cleaning my underarms, I applied this skin therapy balm to the rashes, and they immediately felt better. I applied a few more layers as time passed, and combined with switching deodorants to Native, the rashes are now totally gone! I also expect this will be very effective on dry skin in general. -
Aveeno® Calm + Restore Nourishing PHA Exfoliator

With regular exfoliators, I can tell that they're exfoliating my skin because I can feel it happening. This is good for sensitive skin in the sense that it doesn't feel rough, but it also doesn't feel like anything more than a cleanser. I'll have to use it for an extended period to compare its exfoliation results against more grainy exfoliators. -

I drink hot coffee from my Keurig every morning, but usually I purchase iced coffee from a café. The fact that these pods are designed for iced coffee made me a lot more willing to make iced coffee at home, and it was a good decision! The coffee tastes great - I can objectively taste the dark chocolate/cocoa even if I didn't know it was part of the flavour. Assuming it's affordable, I would definitely buy it again (especially if they have big bulk packages)! -
Chapman's Super Premium Plus Chocolate & Brownies

When I put the first spoonful into my mouth, I could tell the ice cream was high quality. I also loved the brownie chunks dispersed throughout. I would definitely try Chapman's Super Premium Plus ice cream again, but I'd really love to try another flavour. I would love if they made one with peanut butter. -
