By the middle of the day I start to feel like I’m in a slump and the Coffee Booster Mind has given me that little boost I need. Even when I wake up in the morning this little bottle helps me be more alert when driving and planning my day.
I can take them anywhere with me, the bottles are travel size and fit in my purse without adding a lot of weight. There is no taste or colour and I can’t even notice a different after adding it to my drink.
Somedays I use it in the morning and some in the afternoon depending how I am feeling. With only 2 squirts it’s quick and easy to add in to any kind of drink hot or cold. With natural ingredients I feel so much better using Coffee Booster Mind than having an energy drink full of sugar and chemicals. The bottle has a flip up lid that stays closed in my purse with no leaks. You have to give good pressure to squeeze it out into your drink so there’s no mess if you’re on the go. Each bottle has a different colour so I never mix them up and the label is easy to read with all the nutrition facts and ingredients on the back.
With only 2 squirts you get 25% of your daily needs of Vitamin B6. Your brain needs B6 for development and helps it function better throughout the day. You will be in a better mood and have less stress after taking it. One of the featured ingredients is L-Theanine it improves your serotonin and dopamine levels to regulate your emotions, mood, concentration, energy, alertness, appetite and sleep. The other star ingredient is Glucuronolactone and it is found in many energy drinks. It is a normal product of glucose breakdown in your liver and will help to detoxify.
I like that the Coffee Booster Mind bottle is red so I can see it in my purse without digging around. I carry it with me everywhere! I have noticed a big difference with my mind after using these drops. I am more alert and sharp. I can concentrate no problem in the morning and love that there’s no taste. It’s sugar-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and flavorless so anyone can use it. Definitely really happy with the Coffee Booster Mind I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ only because there should be an option for a bigger bottle, this only gives you 10 uses.

Mini Wheats Unfrosted Cocoa

I was really excited to try these new Mini-Wheats! I eat the original almost every day and find they help with my digestion. The Cocoa inside is a nice new twist that everyone will love from young to old. With a hint of cinnamon and chocolate inside they sound amazing and couldn’t wait to get the box open.
These taste like regular Mini-Wheats without the frosting. The biscuit is they exact same and when milk is added goes soft in a few seconds. I like that the chocolate inside isn’t to overly sweet and is 100% real cocoa. They defiantly got the chocolate filling right. There is no different texture you can feel when biting into them, just a small burst of chocolate in your mouth. The one thing I noticed right away is the sweetness to the biscuit is gone instantly when it hits the milk. I feel these should be frosted coated, they would be that much better. With the frosting it would have the right amount of sweetness in every bite. I probably won’t buy these because they aren’t frosted.
The ingredients are why I love Mini-Wheats. They are very high in fiber which helps you get the amount you need daily. Fiber helps you stay healthy by keeping your joints, colon and digestive track up to par. If you suffer from constipation these are a life saver and taste so good. Fiber moves quickly through your digestive tract and makes everything move how it should. High daily fiber can help reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Made with 100% whole grain wheat and real cocoa they taste natural and not a synthetic sweet mess that will hurt your stomach. The only ingredient I don’t like to see is BHT, which is the last one listed on the box. BHT ( butylated hydroxytoluene) is a synthetic antioxidant to prevent food from going bad and is not natural at all. They may contribute to carcinogenicity or tumorigenicity and I wish Mini-Wheats would take it out and add something natural.
The ingredients:
-Whole grain
- Sugar
-Cocoa
-Can syrup
-Cinnamon
-BHT
The Box is ok, if they showed more chocolate I think it would be more appealing. At first glance it just looks like Mini-Wheats with no frosting. Once you read you see Cocoa baked in every biscuit. I would think the entire biscuit has cocoa, not the center filled. The box is just like the others just brown to match the cocoa.
Overall I wouldn’t buy them again unless they add frosting. They taste good but just missing that sweetness. They would be great for kids since they go soft right away in milk. For me it was just missing the sweetness I love about Mini-Wheats. It’s a great idea to have the cereal filled with new ingredients! I would suggest it to kids and anyone who doesn’t like a lot of sugar.

Moringa is so good for your body and I love adding it to my food and drinks. I add it to my salad dressings, teas and sometimes even my soup. Love these capsules because they aren’t messy and give me the option to swallow it or open them into my drinks. There is so many health benefits to this magical leaf that I have learned over the last couple years and love that the Greeniche has made it into convenient capsules.
Why is Moringa so good? It is a natural superfood from a plant referred to as the miracle tree and has been used for centuries for its benefits. The Moringa plant grows in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan and has so many proteins, vitamins and minerals it’s incredible. There is very few side effects and extremely low in fats. With 7 times the vitamin C found in oranges, 4 times the vitamin a than carrots, 4 times the calcium than milk, and 3 times the potassium than bananas I am going to keep taking this this amazing superfood daily!
These are the natural healthy vitamins found in the moringa plant:
• vitamin A
• vitamin B1 (thiamine)
• B2 (riboflavin)
• B3 (niacin), B-6
• folate and ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
• calcium
• potassium
• iron
• magnesium
• phosphorus
• zinc
I stumbled across Moringa because I was looking for options to give me more iron. With high iron in the plant I was able to get my levels up and stop taking my prescribed iron pills. These capsules are especially great to take during that time of the month, I have so much more energy with them and can notice a big difference. Moringa can also help with your skin and hair, improves sleep, high in fiber, edema, constipation, gastritis, and ulcerative colitis, liver damage, your moods, wounds, diabetics and so many more.
The capsules are small and easy to swallow. They open up easy so I can mix them in my drinks and are way less messy than using the powder forms. You get 60 capsules in the bottle which is a month supply for me taking two a day. So happy to have tried these and can’t wait to see the long-term benefits. I highly recommend these capsules for anyone look to improve their health. I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for making this amazing superfood into a convenient capsule!

I have 2 of these matte stick in liquid honey and buttery blush and are really impressed. For 100% natural origins they last very well on my lips. You get a matte finish which I like with my fair skin tone. I'll spice it up with some clear lip gloss over top if I'm going out or want my lips to really pop. The containers are smaller than a standard lipstick and fits perfectly in my makeup bag or purse. They glide on my lips smoothly and the color applies evenly. Love how my lips feel hydrated and never feel dry when I have it on. Even at the end of the day when I remove it, my lips are still smooth. Your lips stay hydrated and nourished because of the cocoa, jojoba, and kokum butters! Haven't had any issues with staining on my skin at all. I will definitely be trying more colors! My favorite so far is the Buttery Blush. -

The Neostrata overnight anti-pollution treatment made my skin so incredibly soft. I can't get over how smooth it feels. I love the texture and feel on my skin. I applied a little bit on my skin and left it overnight while I slept, in the morning my skin feels amazing! This treatment is a very light gel cream. There is no greasy feeling at all. Not a cream texture but makes your skin feel very hydrated.
There is a very very light floral scent and has reacted very well with my skin. No tingling or itching, so I would recommend it even for sensitive skin. The bottle seals tightly with a twist off lid. It doesn't leak at all so great for travelling. This would be wonderful after a plane ride or weather change. My skin looks noticeably different for the best. Hydrated with a nice natural glow.
This overnight treatment is designed to help protect your skin against pollution and environmental factors such as dryness or sun damage. It has PHA's which stands for polyhydroxy acids they minimize visible damage and repair your skin. They are the next generation of AHA's (alpha hydroxy acids) which help exfoliate and repair scarring, sun spots and congestion. Pha's exfoliate and fight uv damage from within.
I am very impressed with how my skin feels and haven't had any breakouts yet. My skin looks and feels amazing. I will continue to use this every night until I can see a difference with my scaring and wrinkles, then stock up. Will certainly be recommending this to anyone who needs a boost or repair. Great product!

I have used the Neostrata serum for 2 days with the Neostrata overnight treatment. My skin is so soft. The serum is a watery consistency and very light. The scent is a light scent and almost smells a bit like wine. It felt fine on my skin just a little tingling at first. This serum is designed to help protect your skin against pollution and environmental factors such as dryness or sun damage. It has PHA's which stands for polyhydroxy acids they minimize visible damage and repair your skin. They are the next generation of AHA's (alpha hydroxy acids) which help exfoliate and repair scarring, sun spots and congestion. Pha's exfoliate and fight uv damage from within. I love the results of using this serum and would totally use it again. I recommend this to anyone looking for a good exfoliation or brighter skin. -
L'Oreal Paris Men Expert BarberClub, Hair + Beard Styling Cream

My hubby really enjoyed this Loreal barberclub beard strengthening cream! He has never tried any sort of beard cream before and usually uses a gel or mousse. He has been trying to grow out his beard for months now and the hairs go a little wild and curly in some areas. This L’oreal barberclub beard strengthening cream really helped tame his unruly hairs and gave them a nice healthy shine.
This cream feels light and not greasy. Found it to be a light hold and doesn’t leave a hard residue where your hair feels crunchy. With oily skin it did not affect it and no breakouts from daily use. It feels like a face moisturizer when you apply it to your hand. A little goes a long way and you only need a little dab. Once applied to the hair it absorbs in very well and makes thick beard hair very tamable. When you wash your hands it rinses off in a second with no sticky feeling.
He will continue to use this strengthening cream everyday on damp. He prefers it on damp facial hair and finds it’s easier to equally distribute it to the entire beard with a comb. On dry hair it doesn’t spread around as easily. The scent is light and manly with a nice aroma of cederwood. Cedarwood essential oils are used so it doesn’t give a fake perfumed cologne smell. Cedarwood can promote hair growth and reduce hair loss. It balances the glands that produce oils and has antibacterial and antifungal properties. So if you ever get dandruff in your beard this is a great cream to help combat it daily. What I found is if you use to much of the cream the scent will be a little strong, a little goes a long way.
Love that this beard cream has no artificial colours! Artifical colours have toxins that can cause irritation and clog your pores. Last thing he wants is a breakout of acne or blackheads. There’s also no parabens or soap to strip the natural oils from the skin and cause serious skin reactions. This cream is great for all skin types and could even be used on your scalp to style.
The packaging was very well thought of. The box is the perfect size of the cream with no wasted packaging. The box is brown and orange which I feel are perfect colours for men with the orange making it easier to spot on the department store shelf. What makes this beard cream feel luxury is the thick glass jar. Although the lid is plastic it is square and gives a good grip to open it.
The only con we had about the Loreal barberclub beard strengthening cream is when you open the jar it looks like it’s half empty. I personally feel that the jar should be full. It’s already a small jar at only 50ml and when you open it you think ummm wheres the rest of the cream.
He loves the light feeling on his beard with no greasiness. Once it’s applied you don’t notice it’s there and your hair looks polished and groomed all day long. I would get this one again and would like to try the rest of the barbershop line by L’oreal. I highly recommend this one to anyone with facial hair that enjoys natural scents.

Smart sweets are an amazing all natural candy! I was skeptical at first when seeing each bag only contains 5 grams of sugar for a 50 gram bag. Considering other candies have around 46 grams of sugar for a 60 gram bag 😲 I thought the taste wouldn’t be all that good, boy I was wrong. I like the taste of the sour gummy bears, not crazy sour but just enough of the sour coating to make your face pucker. The gelatin gummy bears are sweet and chewy. They are a little chewier than regular sugar filled gummies, so it takes a little longer to eat them. This was great for me since I ended up eating less, Win win! You can taste the fruit flavours much better since there is real natural fruit flavour, nothing artificial.
Opening the package you can smell the candy right away. A slight aroma of different fruits mixed together. The bag was easy to open with a little cut in the top right corner, making it easy to tear. I feel the bag is oversized for how many are actually in there and a waste of plastic packaging. The colours and photo on the package really stands out on the shelves so you can easily identify the different candies.
The main two reasons I wanted to give Smart Sweets a try is the low sugar and fiber. The low sugars are natural and don’t contain any sugar alcohols. Sugar alcohols are commonly used to push down the amount or carbs and calories. They might not be artificial but are partially resistant to digestion and can cause digestion issues and can spike blood sugar levels. The source of fiber is Soluble Tapioca from the roots of the cassava plant, it’s a dietary fiber from an all natural plant. Making it keto friendly and will not raise your blood sugar levels. The 50g package contains 28 grams of fiber, being 100% of your daily intake. So don’t eat more than one bag! These Sweet treats are peanut & tree nut free, dairy, lactose & soy free, natural flavours & colours, gluten free, GMO free, natural sugars at only 3 grams and super high in fiber!
I’m really impressed with the taste of these gummies. If I never seen the package I would have no clue they were all natural and full of fiber. This is the healthiest candy I have ever tried and it tastes just like every other out there! I can’t wait to try the other kinds.

Dermaniche All In One Under Eye-Gel

This little jar of Dermaniche All-in-one under eye gel is my new gem in my daily skin care routine. First impression, It feels very light and I can see a difference in my crows feet and puffiness. Very impressed with the packaging and ingredients. I had never heard of this 100% Canadian brand before and now I’m a true believer in the Dermaniche line! This is a great product if you have concerns with aging around your eyes.
The eye gel feels very smooth when applying it. Because it’s a gel you only need the smallest amount around both eyes, less than a pea size amount. It is very concentrated and goes a long way. The gel absorbs in right away after applying it without any tacky or greasy feeling. I love the texture because I feel that it won’t weigh down my eye area. This would be great for all skin types and underneath concealer and eye makeup.
The package is very well put together and it feel like a luxury eye cream. The jar is metal and plastic, I dropped it by accident when applying it and it didn’t break or crack. The label is simple and clear to read. Because of the size of the jar you feel you are getting a lot more, but most is just the packge theres 30ml inside. The expiry date is listed on the underside of the jar which is fantastic. It's rare to see an expiry on the actual container, now I can make sure I use it up in time before it goes rancid/bad. The smell is natural with no added perfumes. It has a little bit of a medicinal smell and makes it feel more medical grade.
The ingredients are even more impressive. Free from gluten, dairy, GMO’s and cruelty free. It’s even vegan, vegetarian and halal friendly. With only ten all natural ingredients you can actual read and understand the label, no chemicals in here. It’s full of antioxidants and vitamins A, C,E and B3 to help fight aging skin, repair dark spots and dark circles. The super ingredient in this eye gel is Retional which is vitamin A. Vitamin A boosts collagen production to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It’s wonderful for pigmentation issues such as dark spots to lighten and even out your skin tone and even acne to clear it up and reduce inflammation. Another ingredient I was happy to see is castor oil. Castor oil is full of antioxidants to fight free radicals (toxins) in your skin. It promotes healthy skin, won’t clog your pores, reduces puffiness, acne, irritated skin, and adds moisture.
Ingredients:
-Aloe vera
-Castor oil
-Retinol
-Kojic acid
-Almond oil
-Vitamin E
-Carbopol
-Glycerine
-Sorbitol
-Niacinamide
After a few days you can see a noticeable difference and I am so happy how well these all natural ingredients work. Lightweight and smooth your skin feels so soft. Boosts my collagen production to help with sagging and wrinkles and has given me a radiant glow instead of racoon eyes. Definitely keeping this Dermaniche All-in-one under eye gel in my daily skin care regime.

I tried a sample of the pineapple coconut and I really enjoyed the flavour. This one actually tasted awesome. I tried some in water and some in juice. Both tasted good, but I really liked it added into my fruit punch. Tastes like a fruity tropical drink. After drinking it I feel more awake and had more energy. With all these superfoods and antioxidants I will definitely be buying this one to drink daily. With the covid 19 this will be perfect to help increase my immunity and stay healthy. Adding it to water it mixes really well and dissolves right away. I know my friends will love this one because of the flavour. I've already bought 3 to share. -
