I love the ease and the taste of the McCain Superfries. They are a great addition to any meat dish, or just as a snack on their own, once in a while.
I sprinkle a bit of salt and olive oil on them and bake them according to the package and they are delicious.

I bought of the Nepresso machine (Citi) when it was on sale at HBC, and I love it. Nice sleek design, mine is red, and great tasting coffee.
Price wise, the pods and the machine are a bit expensive. I only have one on the weekend, and sometimes in the afternoon, so I don' spend too much, but they can add up if you use it daily.
Taste wise, it tasted gourmet, like nothing I have ever tasted out of a machine at home. If you like a nice cup of espresso at home, I would recommend this. If you are more of a Tim Horton's drink or brewed coffee drinker, then this might not be the machine for you.

One of my favorite things to snack on as a desert or treat since I was a kid. Yummy chocolate and hazelnuts on the outside and a yummy chocolate filling on the inside, in a wafer shell. Too good! Words really don't do justice to this.
I would recommend this to everyone who hasn't tried it. If you like nuts that is.

I got one of these for Xmas and I have loved using it ever since. Loved the look and sturdiness of it, it is heavy. The book it came with gave me a few ideas also, which I can't wait to try.
Price wise, they do cost a lot, so look for a sale at Canadian Tire or HBC, because no one needs a $500 mixer unless you are doing this professionally.
If you like to bake often, I would recommend one. If you are an occasional baker or rarely bake, I would stick to a good hand mixer, due to the cheaper price and smaller size.

I enjoy Lululemon pants the yoga/active lifestyle they promote. I think they make flattering, fun and trendy workout wear. I never go in there and appear bored.
I do think their prices are too high and the quality has decreased. I don't around $100 for a pair of yoga pants are worth it, which is why I will only buy them if they are on sale.
I also think because they were so trendy (and somewhat good) for a long time, they got away with charging what they wanted.
So overall, while I like the brand, I don't buy it as much. There are many other cheaper options such as Joe Fresh or Lole which looks nice and do the job also.

I have used Micellar water in the past, and it did like it, but I wasn't quite sold on the concept. I have dry skin, and I think I would really like this in the summer, when my skin doesn't need as much moisture as in the dry and cold winters we have.
I like the gentle and soothing cleansing effect, and it did leave my skin feeling soft. I would recommend this others. I enjoyed this product, along with other products from Garnier. Overall, I liked this product and it worked well at removing my face makeup and cleansing my face, but I needed an eye makeup remover for my eye makeup.

I used this in conjunction with the cleanser oil. I liked the scent of this product, it was a light sesame scent, or a light nut scent, which I did not mind. Overall, this was great for my dry skin, that sometimes peels and feels tight. I used it at night and really worked it in with my fingers as much as I could. I like the feel of it my skin, and not having my skin really dry at night was great.
It did take a while to absorb, at 20 minutes it was probably not yet absorbed, so make sure you work it in really well and don't apply too much. I would recommend this to others, and I like that you can buy it from Shoppers at a decent price. It did feel like a luxurious item.

I liked the feeling of this gel during my morning routine, when you don't want a heavy cream. It left my skin smooth and moisturized, without that heavy feeling. I am not sure about the Anti-Fatigue part, I think a lot of gel feel cold and "reviving" when you put them on, but that only lasts for a few minutes. My skin did look nice throughout the day. but mostly because it was moisturized. I would recommend this to other, along with other Garnier products.

I change my routine often, and I have been interested in using face oil. My skin is very dry and sometimes peels a bit depending on the weather. I used this cleanser at night to take off my makeup and it worked well. The odd time, I would need an eye makeup remover pad to remove my mascara, but my other makeup it removed well. I like the moisturized feeling it left me with after cleansing, none of that dry itchy skin feeling.
I like the price of this oil and that it is easy to get at Shoppers. before most of the oil cleanser I only saw at Sephora or the Bay.
Overall, I was impressed with this oil and really liked using it. I would recommend it to others.

Nice and smooth chocolate with tons of flavour. I have tried the fruit covered chocolate from Brookside but never the bars. I am glad I got the opportunity to try them because they are delicious.
Cherry and Pomegranate are great for fruit lovers, who love the tartness. Overall a good combination of flavors.
I would purchase this again for myself and a as gift and recommend it to others. Thanks ChickAdvisor and Brookside.
