I'm a tea afficionado but when it comes to flavoured green tea, I always am a bit skeptical. I think this is because I recall when companies were buying very bitter green tea and adding flavourings to them to soften the harshness, this souring me to...   +

If you're addicted to your smartphone like I am, you've probably bought a half dozen cheap pairs of gloves over the last few years just because they provide haptic feedback to your phone. There's nothing worse than having to take your gloves off in...   +

I recently visited Soia & Kyo at Square One thanks to a Product Review Club opportunity. Having only heard of the brand in passing, I wasn't sure what to expect. I usually avoid the higher-end winter stores as I'm sometimes intimidated by sales...   +

Now, as much as I enjoy drinking tea and have a vast collection of flavourful options to choose from, not all teas are supposed to be "tasty". When you live in Canada and in a city with four distinct seasons, you're bound to get sick. And if you do...   +

When it comes to tea, I'm a frequent drinker and I drink a wide variety, from delicate white tea to strong black tea, to subtle green tea and then some. Flavoured green teas are very tricky because the flavours have to either complement the...   +

While I'm a tea aficionado, I'm absolutely not a tea snob. I own expensive pu'erh from China, Oolong from Japan, Bahamian Hibiscus and then some, but I also LOVE a simple peppermint, black tea or chai. So my tea collection is a mix of special...   +

My skin is combination and a few years ago it really started to veer to the dry side in the fall/winter seasons. During the summer I don't usually use cream moisturizers this thick, but I thought I'd take a chance with Dr Belmeur's Cica Recovery...   +

When I first started testing Dr Belmeur products, I started with the Cica Recovery Serum because I was most intrigued by the recent information coming out about cica and how it can improve my skin, and this product did not disappoint. I tend to...   +

I'm not a huge fan of gel moisturizers or gel-based creams in general, but when I was given the chance to try the Dr Belmeur Panthenol Soothing Gel Cream I figured it wouldn't hurt to test one again. Unfortunately it still didn't work for me, I...   +

I'm a HUGE carbonated soda fan, whether it's my Hungarian upbringing or my desire to drink 8 cups a day but not have them taste like nothing, I've always got some soda water going. While I have a Soda Stream at home, when I'm on the go I usually...   +
