I absolutely love the SMASHBOX PHOTO FINISH VITAMIN GLOW PRIMER! Overall I am not a huge fan of Smashbox primers, but this one changed my mind! It is vitamin enriched with vitamins B, C and E and gives my skin a nice healthy glow. I love that the product disperses a faint orange colour and smells a little like oranges! It applies easily and is not sticky upon application. It creates a soft and smooth canvas for my foundation and hides my pores and imperfections. -

I am obsessed with these and cannot wait to try all of the other flavours of Sahale snacks! I love the addition of the pomegranate flavoured apples combined with the pure Madagascar vanilla bean! The flavour combinations work so well together with the nutty cashews and provide a nice sweet n' salty duo! The crunch of the nut and the chew of the dried apples is so pleasing and tastes so delicious! I love that it contains no artificial flavours or preservatives as well. Nutritionally, this is not the best snack for you but it is great to treat yourself! -

I was selected to try the BECEL SALTED PLANT BASED BRICKS for free from Family Rated in exchange for my honest opinion and I was amazed at my inability to differentiate it from butter! We are trying to eat more plant based foods in our household so this butter substitution made from plant based oils was a welcome addition to our fridge!
With no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours and the fact that it is vegan and gluten free, I think this is a delicious butter substitute that would fit well into just about anyone's lifestyle and dietary needs! We used the butter to make chocolate chip cookies and can testify that the plant based bricks truly do taste, cook, and bake like your normal dairy butter. We simply substituted this plant based substitute in our cookie recipe 1:1 while leaving everything else the same and they came out perfect and delicious!
We have also tried sautéing mushrooms and peppers, and making an alfredo cream sauce for pasta and all of our dishes came out as normal, if not better! The Becel Salted Plant Based Bricks are a great way to start introducing or continuing to use plant based products in your lifestyle and I will be purchasing these again in the future. I love that I was able to find them in convenient 1/2 cup sticks which makes baking and cooking that much easier. If you are looking to incorporate more plant based items in your cooking I highly suggest you start with these... you won't be able to spot the difference!

I have wanted to try RXBAR's for an incredibly long time and was excited when I found the Chocolate Sea Salt version on sale at my local grocery store. I was sadly left disappointed. It hardly tastes like chocolate and the sea salt was few and far between. It was almost like one giant chunk of dates. It was incredibly chewy and I had to pick date residue out of my teeth for half an hour after eating the bar. I enjoy the simplicity of the ingredients but much to my surprise, it's actually not that good for you. It contains 2 g or 10% of your DV of saturated fats and 13g or 13% of your DV of sugars. It does contain 12g of protein which I appreciate but I would rather eat something else to satisfy my protein needs. This was a miss for me and I am happy I didn't purchase a full box. -

I was expecting these beans to be really spicy but they were the perfect mix of spices and peppers. The beans are so hearty and filling and the flavour is delicious. This is a simple and easy side dish to help your family get some additional fibre and protein. We ate these warmed up on the stove but they would also make a great "cheaters" addition to Chili! I love that I know and can pronounce every item in the short ingredient list as well as the fact that there are no preservatives. As a high source of fibre, iron, and calcium I feel good feeding this to my family! -

I was surprised at the potency of the garlic in this condensed soup! The flavour is incredible! I love the regular Cream of Mushroom soup but picked up the garlic flavour when it was on sale to try it out. As a Ukrainian who loves garlic, I opted to eat this as a soup - it was almost a little too strong for me! The garlic flavour is really intense and overpowers the mushrooms. It is still creamy and I think would be best suited to cooking with! I will repurchase this to use with chicken or pork recipes but will not eat this as a stand alone soup! -

DUKE'S ORIGINAL RECIPE SMOKED SHORTY SAUSAGES are so tasty! I love that they come in individual serving packs and are only 180 calories per pack. The flavour is delicious and the smoked taste is not to overpowering. It's the perfect dry sausage with no MSG, no nitrates and no artificial preservatives. If you like dried meats then you will love the taste of this slow dried pork sausage made with hickory hardwood smoke and no fake liquid smoke! -

I received the TETLEY COLD INFUSIONS MINT, LEMON & CUCUMBER to try for free in exchange for my honest opinion and I have not been able to stop raving about this flavour combination and product since! My target water consumption is at least 3L of water per day, but I find that drinking plain water gets boring after a while and I tend to slow down and get discouraged, drinking less and less as the day progresses. I have tried almost every water enhancer on the market but find that they are usually jam packed with artificial flavours and sugars which leave an aftertaste in my mouth. I love that Tetley made these herbal tea water enhancers sugar free and with only natural flavours!
These are incredibly simple to use - fill up your water bottle, drop in a tea bag, shake and let steep for 10 minutes or more, and ENJOY! The flavour combinations of mint, lemon and cucumber are so refreshing and perfect for a hot summer day! I usually toss some ice cubes in my bottle and take this with me on my daily outdoor walks. I love that they are also caffeine free which means that I can sip them at any hour, day or night!
Aside from tasting absolutely delicious and being simple to use, these are incredibly affordable! I found a 12 pack of these in my local grocery store for under $2 a pack! That's an even better deal considering that a tea bag can last me for 2-3 water bottle fills depending on the length of time I let the bag steep for. I have already recommended these to my family members who have went and picked up boxes of their own as they also LOVE them! Of all 3 flavours, the mint, lemon & cucumber one is my favourite and is a great choice if you are looking for a natural and delicious way to enhance your water! I highly recommend this brand, line and flavour!

I received the TETLEY COLD INFUSIONS STRAWBERRY WATERMELON for free from ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest opinion and this was soooo good! I have been trying to drink at least 3L of water a day but find that plain water gets boring after a while and I tend to slow down on my consumption throughout the day. Most water enhancers are full of artificial flavours and sugars, which leave a bad taste in my mouth. I love that these Cold Infusions are both sugar free and made with natural flavours.
These are incredibly easy to use - simply fill up your water bottle, drop in a tea bag, shake, let steep for 10 minutes (or more1) and enjoy! I really enjoyed the Strawberry & Watermelon flavour combination and found that it was just the right balance of sweet and tart. I love that the herbal tea bags are caffeine free as well, which makes this water enhancer sippable all day long!
I found a 12 pack of these in my local grocery store for under $2 which is a steal of a deal! The tea bags lasted me for 2-3 water bottle fills depending on how long I let them steep for. I have already recommended these to my family members who also give them rave reviews! Check these out if you are looking for a natural way to enhance your water and up your water consumption!
