A friend brought me a box of these when she was in the US, so not sure if the are available in Canada.
The bars are thick and the layer of yogurt is generous. I really like the contrast of the sort of sweet granola with the slightly tartness of the yogurt. The granola is chewy with decent size pieces of nuts & grains. They definitely satisfied my craving for something while also giving me healthy boost of energy and a dose of calcium.

I bought these because I knew I need to cook some quick meals during the week and the packaging of these caught my eye.
I tried the Smoky Applewood Wild Pink Salmon. The first thing I noticed when I took them out of the box was how thick the pieces were.
The only need to bake for 24 minutes. They came out moist and flaky and definitely had a smoky taste which I enjoyed.
The fish has no trans fat, is low in saturated fat, has no added hydrogenated oils. It is also a good source of omega-3 polyunsaturates.
Next time I'll try the Tuscan herb Tilipia.

I got a B1G1 coupon so decided I'd try it. I purchased the chocolate sensation and it was super easy to make. All that is required is mix with milk in a mug and microwave. It only took 5 minutes to prepare, and it is just like carrying a cup of coffee mug. All that is required is mix with milk in a mug and microwave.
It has a very creamy texture and the chocolate tastes rich not chalky, as I though might happen.
It is high in calories a 390 but it's a treat, so what the heck :)
I'll definitely buy it again!

I was given a box with a mixture of five chocolate,milk, dark, peanut butter, caramel and hazelnut. The first thing I liked was the unusual box they came in. It looks like a box but when you remove the lid, it almost flattens out like an unfolded umbrella, very different.
The truffle pig chocolates are simply the best chocolates I have ever seen or had the pleasure of tasting, they are rich & smooth at the same time. It’s just the right amount of sweetness. The use all natural ingredients and you can taste.
The price is a bit high for the bars $3.50 for 1.76 oz (50g) but it's an indulgence that you probably wouldn't do regularly, or maybe you would :)

I bought this recently as I was getting fed up with dry fly away look my hair was developing. I saw this on sale and thought for $5 it was worth the risk. The first thing I noticed was the richness of the oil and the fabulous smell. It isn't an overpowering smell, but if you leaned in close to me, you'd smell it.
It is supposed to be added to dry hair so I applied it after washing & blow drying. It really does a great job of absorbing into my hair but not so much as to make my hair look greasy. It only takes a toony size amount to cover all my hair so the bottle I purchased will last a long time.
Definitel two thumbs up!!

Colgate Optic White uses hydrogen peroxide to make it easier to whiten as you brush your teeth.
It took about a week but It did make my teeth whiter. I didn't tell my friends I was using it as I wanted them to noticed and sure enough, they did. It also has the usual tartar control and did make my teeth clean.

I bought this as I need something to stop the frizz I kept getting after washing my hair. I use a good shampoo and conditioner, but the frizz was still there.
I had a coupon for L'Oreal Re-nutrition and thought for $5.99 I'd give it a shot. You can apply it to dry or wet hair, I chose the latter. I applied to my hair and after blow drying, my hair felt really soft and was frizz free!
It lasts all day and my hair and even after being out in the wind, the frizz didn't return.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who hates that frizzy look. Oh and it smells great :)

This place is a chef, or wannabe Chefs nirvana. The store takes up 1/2 a block and is chock full of all things foodie.
There are gorgeous pots &pans;, utensils galore and foods from world wide. I have never seen so many different cooking oils, mustards, pastas! There is 2 full shelves of just hot sauces...amazing.
I bought a tube of tomato paste for $3 which is more handy than having to open a whole can of tomato paste when you usually only need a tablespoon and end up freezing the rest, only to forget about it and end up tossing it out.later.
One warning, you will be filling up their cute mini shopping cart so bring lots of $$. I'm sure if you can't find it there, it isn't available.

I was chosen to review this product and I think it's the bomb!!
I was a bit concerned when I opened the package as the scent was very strong, but it wasn't as strong once I got the bar wet and lathered up. I used it twice a day and have definitely noticed a difference in my skin. I usually need a good dose of a moisturizer after bathing but after using the Dove, I noticed less dry skin. I guess that's what the 1/3 moisturizing cream is all about.
Not only will continue to use it, I will tell my gal pals (even the not so dry skin ones) to give it a try.
