The smell of Noxema takes me back to my childhood, I think it was the first facial cleanser my mom bought me and I used for most of my teen years. It was on sale around September at Shoppers Drug mart last year, and because I have an obsession with all things facial, i decided to buy a tub.
For me, it provides a really deep clean but it dries out my face so I have to use a really good moisturizer afterward, My skin seem to go in cycles where there are weeks where it produces a ton of oil, it's these days and weeks that I reach for the Noxzema and in using it 2x per day, I pretty much curb any acne that would normally form, and if I do break-out, Noxzema clears it up in a couple of days. I recommend it if you have oily skin, it seems to cut down on the amount of oil produced and does a good job of fighting acne.

Kirkland makes my favorite trail mix. This bag has the perfect mixture of nuts, chocolate and raisins to satisfy my crunchy, sweet and salty cravings. We buy these bags quite often from Costco and never have we had a stale bag. I especially love the fact that it's not overly salted and the raisins, they are so good - they are soft and chewy. i would have rated it higher, the only downfall is that they do not last long. -

I received the color 'Monaco" in one of the monthly boxy charm subscription boxes and wasn't even going to open it due to the dark rich color, I can't and won't wear super dark colors, After reading one chicks review a few weeks ago I decided to give it a try and she is right, the look is deceiving. Yes it's a bit dark, but not what I expected at all. It's kind of like a deep mauve with a shimmer to it, it actually looks just okay when I apply it. At this point I am not in love with it, but I don't dislike it enough to give it away either.
As far as long lasting, I'm not too sure about that - this stuff dries out my lips and I have to wear it with a clear gloss or balm. Combining the two I only get a couple of hours before I notice it starting to fade and there is transfer onto cups and such, but that's most likely because I am adding some hydration with it.
I am undecided whether I will purchase it again or try another color. Once the summer comes and I get some more color on my face I may fall in love with it or I may not like it and in that case I will give it to my sister.

Right now my lips are super dry and flaking so I've been using this every night before bed and I apply a thick layer and really scrub it across my lips. It really helps the dry shedding skin because the balm itself has tons of grains of sugar throughout and then the sugar slowly melts away into the balm and leaves a moist minty layer to hydrate your lips. It also has a pleasant mild minty smell and a nice sweet minty taste. I would purchase it again at it's current price which was around $5, but I would not spend too much more on it, it's great and it works, but there are other similar products on the market that work just as well and are cheaper. -

I recently bought a few wonder bra's as they were on sale at Walmart and I thought I would give them a try. I have a bigger chest and sometimes it's hard to find a pretty bra that also provides support and is comfortable. It's almost like if you wear anything that is size D or more, they only make them in creamy beige and no style to them whatsoever. Even though the bra I bought is not flashy per say (I usually but colorful bras with nice patterns), it makes up for it in comfort, I cannot even tell there is an underwire and it does not pull at the sides. It provides full on support and pushes the ladies up where they belong, the best quality is that it is side shaping, meaning there is no 'extra' bulge at the sides.
The bra it self is silky and soft to the touch, it also washes really well and I let them air dry. I will definite be purchasing another one, hopefully one with some color and a bit of a sexy pattern or design.

I suffer from sleep issues for as long as I can remember, it seems to go in waves where sometimes medication is required. For the times where I don't need a medicated sleep aid but I am a bit stressed out and have some anxiety I will brew a cup of this tea and read a book before bed.
This tea works better for me compared to any other brand, it might be a bit more expensive, but it's totally worth it to get a good nights sleep. The taste is mildly bitter with hints of mint, orangey citrus and spice. I can feel the effects after about 20 minutes or so, my mind and body starts become calm, anxiety starts to fade and I have a window of about 10 minutes once I start to feel the effects, that I need to go to bed, if I miss this window I am SOL. The one aspect that sets this tea apart is that I stay asleep for a good 5-6 hours without waking up.
A positive is also they do not use bleach on the paper bag, I only recently read that most tea brands use bleach and was quiet shocked, thankfully Traditional Medicinal's does not!

This is my go to primer at the moment and I will be purchasing it again once it runs out. I received it in a monthly boxy charm subscription box and was eager to try it out due to the positive reviews I read online.
The primer itself is scent free and silky to the touch. It is not thick and applies evenly across my face. I do notice a difference with my larger pores, it makes them less noticeable and you can't see them unless your up really close to my face. Because of the creamy texture I don't need to use very much, I think this bottle is going to last me around 2 months before I need to buy it. It almost reminds me of ELF's poreless face primer but definitely higher quality.

I received this beautiful palette in a monthly boxy charm subscription box. The bold colors caught my eye right away and I was hoping they would be bold when applied, and they are - all the colors are highly pigmented. I have to be careful when applying the darker colors as they apply very dark, so I only need one or two strokes of the applicator or brush. They blend in well if you only use a bit at a time and build them up if I want them darker, I find it harder to blend with too much powder on. I like the mix up of matte and shimmer, I am able to create many different looks. -

I lost my father a few weeks ago to cancer and my sister and I went into Hills Florist to purchase flowers. I knew going in that it would be expensive but I had no idea just how expensive. We each ordered a fairly plain bouquet with a glass vase and one ribbon said "Daddy and my sister got her's to say "Papa" for my 6 year old niece.
Each arrangement cost us $74 plus tax. I was disappointed with both orders, but more so for my sister, while we were placing our order we were asked about a color theme, I said a mixture of colors for mine but my sister asked if it was possible to have all purple as that is my niece's favorite color. She brought us to the coolers and there was dozens and dozens of different flowers and colors and surprisingly a ton of purple with all different shades. The lady said 'absolutely, we have a ton of purple' and that would not be a problem at all. On our hand written receipt she wrote down our details, and on my sisters it specifically stated "All purple, purple roses" with baby's breath. You can see from the picture, she didn't get all purple, she got an assortment just like mine, but with 2 purple flowers and only 2 roses, which were white. Both bouquets were on the smaller size, for $84 I expected a large bouquet - I could have went to the grocery store and bought 3 of theirs and it would have been bigger with a greater assortment.
Obviously we couldn't take them back, we placed the order on the Wednesday, and they were delivered to the funeral home on the Saturday. My sister called on the Monday and voiced her disappointment, stated she could send pictures or bring the bouquet in, and they told her that the owner would be in touch - 3 weeks later and she has yet to receive a phone call back.

I don't remember if we bought these from Costco or Walmat but I remember it being a good deal for the quantity you get versus the price.
The bag we bought was fresh, there are no stale nuts, pretzels or pieces in the entire bag, which we consumed in less than week - I was hoping my hubby didn't like them because I really didn't want to share.
These would be perfect if you had guests over, they would pair nice with a cold beer and there is such a mixture that there is something that everyone without a nut allergy would like. There is a mild BBQ flavoring dusted throughout the entire bag, they are not spicy at all, not even mildly spicy. My absolute favorite are the small sesame sticks, my only complaint is that I wish there was more of them, but there is a good ratio of all throughout the bag, it's not like Planters stuffed the majority with pretzels.
