When I buy hair accessories, I always buy the 'Goody" brand and usually get them from the Drug Store or Dollar Store. They are cheap to buy and you always get an assortment of colors. The two pictures I posted are packs that I bought from Walmart for $1.99 each and you can see that you get a few or more in each pack.
I love the snap style clips, they are versatile as far as styling goes and I am able to get many different hair styles when used. What sets these clips apart from other brands is that these clips do not rust. I will style my hair and clip part of my bangs up and then use hairspray to keep it in place. I have found with other brands after I use them a few times with hair spray or on damp hair, rust starts to form and the paint starts to chip.
Goody is a great brand and they make affordable quality hair accessories.

I bought these on a whim as they were on sale, I normally buy the cloths that are already damp and moist.
First of all, I really like them. They work well at cleansing my face and removing the days make up including water proof mascara. The cleanser does not dry out my face and my skin didn't breakout. On one side of the cloth is tiny perforated blue dots that act as an exfoliater that works great at getting down into my pores and cleaning the dirtiness out. The cloths themselves are highly concentrated with soap, there is a ton of lather to it and it takes a minute or so for the cloth to rinse out clean of soap. A tip, I cut mine in half, they work just as well and I find I am not wasting all the soapy goodness.

I love my Fitbit, it's like a permanent fixture and my wrist feels naked without it. I bought the Alta HR from SportChek a few weeks ago, this is my 3rd device in as many years. The first one I grew out of and wanted to upgrade so I gave it away, and I lost the second one.
I love the Alta, it's sleek and not flashy looking, which is what I wanted at first. I bought the black one and recently ordered a few colored bands from Walmar to change it up. This is so much more than a tracker with the sleep tracking as before, but now this one tracks my heart rate. I love the upgraded sleep tracking function, this one tracks the number of minutes I am in a deep sleep, REM sleep and light sleep - it also gives me a monthly summary. The battery lasts longer than I expected, currently I only need to charge it once a week and I get an email reminder when it's low. I also love that it's paired with my Iphone, I get a light vibration when I get a text message and the person's name is displayed.
I love my FitBit, I have recommended this device to a lot of people and hopefully I don't loose it, but if I do, I won't hesitate to purchase another.

I have been a lover of Scentsy for years and have collected at least half of dozen warmers over the years, from the regular warmers to the smaller mini warmers. I use the smaller ones as night lights in the bathroom and often keep them on 24/7 and only changing the wax every few days. I recently had an older warmer, crack down the side, I didn't drop it and am unsure how it happened, and it was only plugged in for a few hours. I was shocked that I was able to get a brand new warmer at no charge as a replacement as the kind I had is no longer made and my rep couldn't find any fellow reps who had one in stock. I love scentsy and will continue to use their decadent smelling bars to add fragrance in my home. -

I've been slowly replacing my facial regime items with Olay products. I took the Olay Skin Advisor quiz, uploading a picture, answering questions and identifying my concerns and then it analyzes what areas need attention and which products would be a good fit. One of the products they suggested is this cleanser due to my combination to oily skin and my concern with larger pores.
It's been a little over 2 weeks of using this 2x per day and I've noticed a big difference in the oil production on my forehead, it's no longer greasy at the end of the day. I should mention that I also use a gel and a daily facial moisturizer afterwords, both by Olay.
I also noticed that my skin looks a bit brighter and my skin tone has evened out, the small black heads I have on my nose don't appear so black and the tiny ones on my chin are also looking better.
I really like the effectiveness to clean, it comes out similar to a lotion in texture, it lathers well with some warm water, then starts to foam and rinses completely off and my face has the 'sneaky clean' feel.
This cleanser is wonderful, it's definitely reducing the oil and I might be able to eliminate the clay mask I use weekly that also reduces the oil production.

I received this liquid eye shadow in March 2019's BoxyCharm monthly subscription box. I love liquid eye shadow to begin with, and this stuff blew my already high expectations right outta the gate. It lasts the entire day without any touch ups needed.
It's highly pigmented with a bright rich rosey gold color, when applied it's creamy and shimmery. The wand and small brush makes it super easy to cover my entire lid in one swoop, but I can also use the small tip to fill in the gaps at the corner of my eyes, and I've also applied on-top of regular powdered eye shadow and used it as an eye liner without difficulty. Oh and it comes off easily with eye makeup removed.
This stuff is now my favorite of liquid shadows and it's going to look fantastic when my face is tanned in the summer.

I am a regular user of Nivea products and thought I had own or tried most of their products by now. I was surprised when I was in Shoppers Drug Mart last week that there was a few tubs in the discount rack for $5 - not sure of it's regular price, but I've never seen Nivea items on this shelf, so I wondered if it was really a horrible product and no one was buying it.
I was wrong, and still don't understand why they were discounted. The lotion is mega rich, thick and creamy. It smells divine like pure coco butter should. It absorbs instantly and there is no greasy or oily reside left behind. The first time I used it was in the morning after my shower and that night I went to apply it again and the skin on my legs looked the same, usually my shins start to get dry by the end of the day. It's definitely long lasting!! I went back to Shoppers today in hopes of finding even one tub left, sadly they were gone. I am going to buy another tub when I am done with this one, regardless of the price.

I just bought from this Shoppers Drug Mart last week, was exited and had such high hopes of getting the perfect brows. Pure disappointment, I should have done my homework and read some reviews 1st.
Firstly, I have dark brown hair, I bought the brunette shade and on the box the color was similar to my hair color. This color is so dark, when I use the powder/sponge end it fills my brows in black and it's also too big, I am not able to get a small precise application. The pencil part is very brittle and as I use it, it's like it's shrinking in my hand, I don't think it's going to last long, either it's going to break off and crumble or it's going to be used up after a weeks use. Lastly the wand is too big/long for me to use, it's just awkward to use and it's very watery, leaving a wet look. I was really let down by this product, I am normally a fan of Nyx and do like a lot of their products, but this huge brow mechanism is a big disappointment, Take my advise and save yourself the $17- (that's what I paid at Shoppers)

These are one of my favorite chocolatey snacks. I buy them from the dollar store for a buck. I like to put mine in the freezer before I eat them. They are on the light side, with a chocolate flavor and crispy wafer. I really wish they made them bigger or added another bar for a pack of 3. -

I was in JYSK today and bought another Dab Shower curtain as I decided to slowly start changing the colors and accessories in my bathroom. I am currently using a Dab fabric curtain now, but decided to change it up and add some color and buying a new one. Their shower curtains come in so many different colors and theme's, from neutral plain colors, solid patterns, famous paintings, nature prints and cartoon themed - it's hard to choose.
The one I have now has lasted for years. It's made of polyester with reinforced stitching around the holes for the hooks. I have thrown it in the washing machine a dozen or so times and it washes great, okay to put into the dryer on low, it hasn't shrunk, faded or frayed. I think these are decent quality and affordable, I bought mine today for around $25.
