I received this product as part of the review club. I preferred this bar over the lemon as it was like a chocolate mousse though there was still a bit a chalky aftertaste. I could see myself grabbing this after a workout or race as the protein level is high. -

I received this product as part of the review club. My job can get hectic and I like having a protein bar in my bag for those days where lunch is just not going to happen. I was impressed by the nutrients and low sugar content but the consistency of the bar was too dense for me. I did like the poppy seeds being throughout. I probably would not this again. -

That Clean Life is a nutrition online program created by a nutritionist and a nurse. The website is easily navigable with pre-made weekly plans, recipes, and customization. There is a free version, but the monthly fee is reasonable and worth it for the added access. All recipes include how to make it vegan/vegetarian/more meat and possible substitutions. Members also receive a weekly blog and previews on upcoming plans (i.e. 21 day Spring Tune Up Meal Prep). The owners are receptible, encouraging and open. I tell everyone looking for clean recipes to check them out. -

I received this water at a Canadian Running Series race from the Oasis tent. The flavour is fresh and light. I liked how it was low in calories (50) and had no added sugars. For someone who likes water with a bit of flavour, which is not overpowering, this is a good bet. It also comes in strawberry/hibiscus/basil and tangerine/lemon/thyme. -

I bought this paint pot for my wedding makeup on the advice of a friend who is a makeup artist. Today I was convinced more fully of its benefit. A paint pot (from my understanding) is like a primer for your eyelids. I forgot to put some on 1 eye today, so I had a great test of the effectiveness. After having makeup on for 12ish hours, the eyelid with the paint pot was not really creased, the colour was still pretty fresh. The other eye looked a bit greasy, a noticeable crease and much lighter in colour, like it had been rubbed a bit away. I definitely recommend buying this. -

I love bubbly water, and having it flavoured naturally is a bonus! I received this product as part of the review club. I really liked that the flavour was subtle and light, and not overpowering. It was as if I had squeezed some juice in myself to my soda stream water. I also liked that there was no chalky aftertaste, as some flavoured bubbly waters I have had in the past seem to have.
I would definitely buy this again.

NIVEA 3-in-1 Micellar Water
Not as effective as I had hoped for. I love micellar water, it is so quick and usually effective in taking off eye makeup. I did not find this to be the case with the Nivea 3-in-1 Micellar water. To be specific, I wear eyeliner, mascara, shadow... +
Not as effective as I had hoped for. I love micellar water, it is so quick and usually effective in taking off eye makeup. I did not find this to be the case with the Nivea 3-in-1 Micellar water. To be specific, I wear eyeliner, mascara, shadow and some concealer (under eye). I found that I needed to use more product compared to other waters and rub more to get all the product off. I would not buy this again and would refer friends to other micellar water products.

NIVEA 2-in-1 Moisturizing Primer Dry to Sensitive Skin

This moisturizer went on so light! I was a little scared how quickly I might go through the product as the jar is on the smaller side, but I really didn't need much to cover my entire face and neck. It sunk it very quickly and was not greasy at all. My face felt soft all day with no tightness later in the day that I sometimes have had.
What I also liked is that I have had some redness appearing as I get older and I found this to not be as apparent with a sensitive skin product, something I guess I need to consider more. I would definitely buy this product again.

We drink a lot of carbonated/mineral water in my house. Looking for ways to create my own, sugar-free waters and for less than Perrier costs led us to getting a Soda Stream. It is quick and easy to make my own water in amounts that can be easily drunk. With our first canister, we have already made at least a dozen bottles. Great product to cut costs and customize for those looking to drink more water. -

I love Tips! My nails tend to break often so I begun getting Shellac manicures. Going to Tips is cozy, friendly experience. The staff make a point of getting to know you and are very attentive from the time you walk in. I love their instragram account for ideas. Compared to other nail salons, my Tips manicures tend to last 3-4 weeks without chipping. I have become a monthly visitor and am looking forward to trying other services. Best is their website where I can book quickly and in advance. -
