This is one of my favorite pizzas from Delissio. I love how the crust can be pulled apart and dipped in the sauce provided: a far better alternative from throwing out the crust of everyone who doesn't like pizza crust. Also, getting pepperoni is sure to be a crowd pleaser. It is the only pizza my boyfriend will eat, and if you have friends over, no one really objects to pepperoni (that is, given none of your friends are vegetarian).
The only downside to Delissio pizza that it usually tastes like cardboard. To me anyways. This one is good, but obviously eating out for pizza is the better option. But as an emergency meal, I would choose this pizza for sure.

Before trying this product, I was really nervous about it tasting disgusting after reading all of the comments. so when I finally got the nerve to try it, I opted for a very large cup of water, to dilute it a little bit. My boyfriend was about to try some.. until he smelled it in my cup and almost vomited. But since I have a stronger stomach than he does, I thought I would give it a go.
I did not like this product at all. The box claims that it is orange flavor, but there is really nothing orange about it. When you pour it into water, it has this weird brownish tint and it smells awful. Since I wanted to give this a review on effectiveness as well, I drank the entire thing. As diluted as I made it, it didn't taste like much. Just water with a metallic aftertaste. My boyfriend was super curious, so he tried a small sip. He said it tasted like crushed up vitamins, and he would never drink it again. I couldn't disagree with him. I think next time, I will try drinking it in a smoothie.
In terms of effectiveness, I think this is about average. I did feel energized for the rest of the day, but that also may have been due to the early morning run I went on before trying this product. The product DOES say it helps after physical activity, so that is how I tested it out.
I might actually buy this product if it tasted wayyy better, but for now, I don't think I would ever purchase this again. At close to $13 and with an awful taste, it just isn't worth it for me.

How to Train Your Dragon (2010)

I really enjoyed this movie. I think that it should be watched with sightly older kids so that they understand what is happening, but as a movie, I think it is great. I watched it with my ESL class, and a lot of them didn't understand it. There was a lot of talking and not a lot going on at the beginning, so I think it put them off for the rest of the movie. -

I bought this product mainly because I needed some kind of device to wake me and only me up in the mornings at 6AM, allowing my boyfriend to sleep in until 10 (lucky...). But it is so much more than a buzzing wrist alarm clock!
This thing tracks your steps, tracks your sleep and you can time stuff with it. I haven't tried the timing thing, but it is super interesting seeing how well/poorly you sleep, and how many steps you have taken in a day. It actually motivates me to walk more, however I don't really have the luxury of sleeping more. TOO busy for that.
All in all, I am really happy with my device. Even though I haven't quite figured out how to connect it to my computer...

Adrien Gagnon Decadent Fudge Nutriforme Bars
I wouldn't normally purchase a product like this. Usually, I find meal replacements too expensive and not worth it. Honestly, this one isn't really all that different: for a retail price of around $12 for 5 bars, I couldn't really justify buying it... +
I wouldn't normally purchase a product like this. Usually, I find meal replacements too expensive and not worth it. Honestly, this one isn't really all that different: for a retail price of around $12 for 5 bars, I couldn't really justify buying it. But since I got this for free, I will at least talk about the taste.
This bar is super dense. Lots of chocolate, but it tastes like your typical protein bar. Personally, I wouldn't use it as a meal replacement. I am always hungry, and having a bar, no matter how dense it is, does not fill me up. To me, this is a perfect snack for after a workout, or in the middle of a long day at work.
Will probably not buy it again, but if I was offered one, I wouldn't turn it down. If these bars were a little cheaper, I would consider buying them as a substitute for the vending machine raid I typically do at the end of my long teaching day. (My students are such bad influences!)

Firstly, I agree, the prices are pretty steep, but when you subscribe to their emails, they are always sending weekly coupons for the store: some of the times there will be 50% off coupons, or 20% off sale items.
Another great thing about this store is that they have a variety of different classes including cake decorating, jewelry making, crocheting and knitting.. and so many more. I have yet to try a class, but I have heard great things about them.

Fudgesicle Fudge Frozen Dessert Bars

These were always a treat on a hot day when I was a kid! My mom was never a fan of sweet things, but even she couldn't resist these Fudgesicles! Just eating them makes me nostalgic. I love eating these on really hot days because, unlike those popsicles that have a chocolate layer and vanilla ice cream on the inside, these don't melt as quickly, and you can savor the cool "frozen dessert bar" (I guess it's not technically ice cream) in your mouth for quite a long time. -

I used to be obsessed with this game. It kept me glued to my phone while riding the subway. But now, every time I open it on my phone, it immediately closes. There are always so many glitches and problems with it that I haven't played it in ages, but when I still could, it was one of my favorite games on my phone.
What's good about it is that it doesn't stay the same for the entire game. going to next levels and beating games makes the experience so much more rewarding than if I had to do the same thing over and over, like 2048. Which I still love, because I am still competing against my own score.
I actually just checked right now, and it still doesn't work on my phone. But as soon as it does, It will replace my staring into space on my subway ride to work.

I love this game! Whenever I go home for the holidays, I will challenge anyone who wants to play with me. The game is fairly easy to pick up, and for those who are forgetful (which even includes me, even though I have played this game SO many times), this game comes with a helpful card, color coordinated with your player's color, so that you won't forget how to use your resources (this will make a lot more sense if you knew the game!)
This game is a true classic. If you are unsure if you will like this game, just walk into a nearby board game cafe: I guarantee that they will have this game. The strategy and (occasionally) backstabbing involved makes this game so much fun, and it doesn't take as long as some other board games. (I am looking at you Monopoly).
A typical game can go for 30-40 minutes, but it is so much fun, it barely feels like long at all. Unless you are playing with players that take FOREVER to take their turn.

I have only bought one of their cakes once, but it was super delicious! But these cakes are very expensive: far more so than the Dairy Queen cakes. But unlike Dairy Queen, you can customize the entire cake. I think that I would only buy these again on a very special occasion, or if they are giving out coupons. -
