Let me start by saying that I normally love Aveeno products, I'm a fan. I had high hopes for the Restorative Skin Therapy cream. I used it 3-4 times a day on my hands, as they are my primary problem with severe dryness and finger splits. The cream absorbs well, I am able to use my tablet afterwards without tacky fingerprints. My hands felt soft for a short time, but soon returned to being dry and I have more new splits on my fingertips since using this. I'm afraid for me this product does not provide enough moisture, healing or extended comfort, and does not aid in prevention of dryness and damaged skin. -

Love it! I have now tried every flavour of Mott's Fruitsations + Fibre Unsweetened. This was my first time trying the Tropical flavour and I wasn't disappointed! It has a very fresh taste with a hint of tartness. I definitely tasted the pineapple and could detect a hint of orange and banana with the applesauce. The fruit provides its own sweetness so I don't miss the sugar. I actually prefer the unsweetened versions.
Besides eating as a snack on its own, I often make porridge in the evening, top it with a touch of brown sugar, cinnamon and a whole container of Mott's Fruitsations + Fibre Unsweetened applesauce. No milk required. It makes a satisfying snack or warm filling breakfast.
Whichever way you choose to eat it its delicious and the Tropical is my new fave!

I was selected to try the fragrance free Neutrogena Hydro Boost Body Gel Cream and I love it. Why? This product truly is fragrance free, so its not going to fight any scent you might want to wear. It soaks into the skin leaving it smooth and non greasy. You can dress shortly after using it. I also use it as a hand cream, I keep it beside the sink and use it every time I wash my hands. It leaves my skin silky soft with no transfer on to clothes or surfaces, a definite plus for me. I am even going to check into other products in the line. -

My 10, almost 11 year old Goldendoodle Lucy loves Denta Stix. I received a couple free samples and Lucy agreed to try them out. There was much excitement, she trotted off to another room in case one of us should try to wrestle her for it. She didn't even lay down, just got to work devouring it. They can crumble and make a bit of a mess, but Lucy cleans up the evidence, a regular Hoover she is. Yes, she loves them. I've not given them to her consistently to know if they actually clean her teeth, I brush her teeth with doggy toothpaste, so for Lucy it's basically a treat. They aren't cheap so I only buy them if they are on sale and/or I have a coupon. It's all about couponing and saving money. But a two dew claws up from Lucy, ok she doesn't have her dew claws, but you get the idea. -

First of all...why only a 3 star rating if I'm saying it's my go to? This pain reliever works well for my family. Hubby and daughter are very satisfied with it. It's me that is rating it, so.....I suffer from considerable arthritic pain and discomfort. I suspect I have Rheumatoid arthritis but being the person I am, I suffer along and don't see the doctor. Wise, no, doctor phobia, yes....but I will go soon. I take this extra strength Advil before bed each night. I only allow myself one pill per day, not a pill taker. I like the liqui-gels for easier swallowing, although a little more elongated shape would be preferable. It does definitely take my pain from a 9 to a 6 or 7 to allow me to sleep more comfortably. I've tried the Arthritis version without much of a difference. So I'd say for normal pain it probably does the trick quite well. -

We used to eat Skippy peanut butter. My daughter decided she didn't like it anymore so I switched to Jif. She loves it, and so do I. There is something different in the flavour that makes me want to eat more. It has a sweet, peanutty flavour. We stick with the creamy, using it on fresh bread, toast or in peanut butter cookies. I am a couponer and have made good use of coupons with sale prices and have a good stock of it. And yes, I watch best before dates. Peanut butter isn't necessarily what I call a nutritious spread, but eaten in moderation its a delicious treat! Hard to stop at one tbsp though! -

I sprinkle the Arm & Hammer litter deodorizer into the bagged organics bin I use to hold the scooped clumps throughout the day. At the end of each day I put the bag outside in the big bin. To be honest, it's only minorly effective used in the organics bin. I only use it in the litter box itself when it's necessary, to tide it over until I do the total dump and washout of the box. For that purpose it works well to freshen up the litter for a day until I do the full clean. What I've started doing is adding a smidge into my vacuum cleaner bag, as a freshening agent instead of buying thecexoensive vac bag deodorizer tablets. So yesm multi useful some ways more effective than others. I just found the larger size (800g I think) at Giant Tiger, a better deal! -

I'm not a techie, I can't speak to the iPad minis internal organs etc. What I can say is that it is user friendly for those of us that aren't into every electronic device out there. I have the original version, still going but no longer updates, an unfortunate planned obsolescence by Apple. I decided to get a Samsung TabE with my Shoppers Drug Mart points because a new iPad was so expensive. Big mistake. I can't even use my banks app on it. Should have bit the bullet and paid up. Apple, too expensive, but I highly prefer it. -

Cadbury got this one right! Where the small version of this hasn't enough filling, this full size Cadbury cream egg is perfect! Thick shell of chocolate goodness with that soft, creamy, delicious white and yellow centre! Too sweet? No way, it's exactly as it should be. My struggle is to eat just one. -

My daughter is the biggest fan of the Cadbury mini eggs, but as a confessed chocoholic I can't stop at one, or even a handful! That light crunch when you bite into one, followed by the yummy chocolate, what's not to love. I have to confess though, this week I bought President Choices brand of the mini eggs, because that were a couple dollars cheaper and I'm about value. I have to say....I liked theirs even more, and for my budget that is a factor too. Hate to admit the PC brand actually has the edge in flavour, and definitely in price. Do a blind taste test of your own with your family! -
