I tried using a generic cheap brand of cotton swabs- what a nightmare- the tips came off in my ear!
Same with when I was using them to put peroxide in the corners of my windows. Sloppy.
You can depend on the real Q-Tips to first of all stay on the applicator, and to not become all gnarly after getting a little wet. Whether using to apply ( or remove ) eye makeup, put peroxide on mod, , or cleaning out your ears - ( I know - you aren't supposed to, but who does't need a Qtip in their ear from time to time?)
Best brand- and if you buy when on sale, a good deal (although the last batch I bought in bulk from COstco, will probably last me 5 years)!

Becel Canola and Sunflower Oil
I use this instead of butter or vegetable or corn oil in baking, for gravies and sauces, and for pan frying. I feel it is a healtheir type of oil, and provides good results.

Vim Floor Cleaner in Ocean

I like to use this on floors before I steam them.
With two little dogs, who often bring in mud on their paws, I find it gives me the clean I want, along with a fresh scent that steaming alone doesn't offer.
I do like to steam after using to make sure I get all residue off ( my dogs like to think it is their job to clean up after me when I am cooking) But this takes out any stains and kills any germs that may be lurking on the floors.

Vim Cream Cleaner in Lemon Scent
Cleans the most stubborn stains out of my sinks, and leaves a nice fresh scent. No powdery residue left in areas I use...Love this product. Also really affordable - epsecially when it goes on sale!

Sets the bar for coconut cream pie- full of creamy flavor, and a satisfying texture.
I could not make this from scratch and have it taste as gfood- almost indescribeable!
Only complaint is that they aren't bigger- but thats because you don't want to stop eating once you start!

This was my late son's favorite cake.
I still buy one on his birthday, to share with his cousins..a way to honor his memory.
I used to put a scoop of butterscotch ripple ice cream beside it, then drizzle home-made caramel sauce over both as a special treat.
Cake is light and frosting is not overly sweet or heavy tasting....the only problem? That it hasn't got two layers!

Did a great job on soothing and moisturing my very dried out hands.
My best friend had some , and offered to let me try it when I noticed that my hands seemed exceptionally dry, not a usual problem for me.
I was both surpised and delighted that the cream seemed to sink right into my skin, without leaving a greasy residue that I felt like washing off, and there wasn't an overwhleming perfume scent.
Went out and bought a pack of 3 boxes right away.

My mother used to love this cream, and had beautiful, wrinkle free skin until she passed, at 80 years of age.
Because of this, I tried it, again after 25 years wanting to see if my grown up skin could handle it. and had a reaction to it.
Made my skin feel like it was being smothered and made my skin feel itchy and a little irritated.- something about the fragrance in it didn't appeal to me either.
Sorry, must be allergic to it. Not for me..

Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars - Cranberry with Blackberry

What I love about these bars is that they are sooo flavorful, and you really taste the fruit that it is named after. The nuts & seeds are an added bonus.
As a snack in lieu of a regular chocolate bar- there is no competition- the 4 g of proein, & 3 g of fibre, make it a worthy treat.
The 180 calories and 9 g of fat, along with being 14% of your RDA of fat, is where I would slow down on calling this a really nutritional treat.
I would try these bars again , but in moderation.
They aren't pretty, due to the natural ingredients, etc.- , but they should be seen as a sweet treat - a bit healthier choice than a chocolate bar or donut- not as fat & calorie dense perhaps, and maybe a bit more filling - but a treat also.

As with the cherry flavored Dark Chocolate fruit & nut bar, I was impressed with the flavour- blueberry really came through in this
I know blueberry & Acai are supposed o be superfoods, full of anti-oxidants and other disease fighting properties, but I just had a hard time with the 15% fat content, and 5mg of cholesterol...As well as the 180 calories ( which is pretty standard for protein bars I guess)
But for something this tiny to represent about 1/10 of my daily caloric requirements, I need a bit more bulk.
For kids who are picky eaters, this would be a great treat though.
And the 12% of RD fibre - it's not bad.
Nice again that there are no arificial colors, flavors, or GMO products used in making these things, and that they are gluten free for people who are avoiding gluten.
My problem is, if I had a few of these in front of me, I would have a hard time not eating them.
They do taste really good.
So - I am conflicted.
