Downy Unstopables In-Wash Scent Boosters - FRESH

First of, these are very over powering scents, that being said, I loved the scent of my sheets when I put them on & it does last long. Just bear in mind it is a strong clean smell. I don’t mind it, I liked crawling into bed and smelling that fresh scent. I didn’t use it in all my washes, mostly for my sheets (stays fresh in pantry) and for my towels & for my clothes that I wash but don’t wear often, so they smell nice longer in my closet. It’s very noticeable when you wear the clean clothes out of the dryer once you used the product I the wash. I like smelling that soft clean smell. I recommend it but for those who are prone to strong perfumes or scents, you may want to put less in your wash. -

I have recently discovered that I am gluten intolerant and lactose intolerant.. I decided to give the vegan Becel a try.. I absolutely love this product! It tastes great, spreads nicely, great texture & smells nice.
I have cooked & baked with it and it works well. My next trial is to try it for rice crispy treats.. normally I use butter since I find margerine has a funny taste.. I am hoping it will be a good replacement.. I will update my review once I try it (if we can).
It’s a little more than the regular Becel & other margarines, but you get more with this vegan spread than with the other specialty soy margerine type spreads, so I find it’s worth it.

I have no kids but use these wipes for myself. I like feeling fresh. I have tried many different brands (some cheaper- for cost reasons), but I find the cheaper ones tear & fall apart but these ones don’t.. the bonus is they are fairly thick for flushables which is usually not the norm (I find the flushables in general are thinner & your fingers poke through, so you need 2 or 3 to do the job of 1 Charmin wipe. Charmin May cost a few cents more but work out to the same if you’re using 2 of the generic to do the same job). I find they don’t dry out fast in the container & it does not have an overpowering chemical smell.
I have mine in a case, makes it easier to access.

I’ve always loved the smell of lemon scented cream but not to many are around so you can imagine my delight when I walked into a Body Works shop to see their line of lemon scented products. I bought the hand cream & foaming hand soap. The cream works really well & it makes your hands soft. The hand soap foams up great & smells wonderful.
I know this may sound weird but it does smell like lemon pledge and I love that smell. So if you like the scent of lemons, this is a great product, I just hope they don’t discontinue it !!

Yogi Green Tea Kombucha Herbal Tea

I recently was given this tea from my colleague where she swore I would it.. you see, I WANT to like Green Tea (I’m all about the antioxidants), but somehow can’t get past the bitterness of it all.. so, when my friend said “try this one”, well, as you can imagine, I was not running to the kettle to boil some water, but I decided to try it nonetheless.. well, she was right! I’m not sure what Yogi did to the green tea or if the addition of the Kombucha has anything to do with it, but it was fragrant and soft. I finally found a green tea I can drink- and like. So, of you’re not a green tea lover but want to be, this one will have you coming for more. It’s a little on the expensive side but worth it. Buy a box & share it, I’m sure you’ll like it. -
Greek Yogurt Oikos 0% Peach-Mango
The one thing that I loved about this product is that for a 0% Greek yogurt, it was very thick. I was so use to the other 0% yogurts being more liquidly, that I had to look at the label again to make sure I did not buy a 2% one by mistake. It was... +
The one thing that I loved about this product is that for a 0% Greek yogurt, it was very thick. I was so use to the other 0% yogurts being more liquidly, that I had to look at the label again to make sure I did not buy a 2% one by mistake. It was a pleasant surprise. I also like the flavor combination that Oikos has in its choices. I also am looking for ways to eat healthy as I am trying to loose weight, and I like to freeze these yogurt cups and then eat them as a snack at night wile watching TV. I take a spook and scrape the yogurt. Its like sorbet in that when you scrape it, its like frozen snow. Its a fun alternative to regular snacks. -

I love going thru the grocery isles looking for new products. As I was scanning the pasta aisle, the 'super green' wording caught my eye. I am always trying new products, looking for ways to add nutrition to my meals. This sounded interesting.. '5 super green ingredients',.. the hook got me, so I bought the Fusilli (and the spaghetti - but I have not tried that one yet). I recently decided to go more vegetarian, so I thought this pasta would incorporate well with my mushroom sauce and soy protein chicken.. to my surprise, it worked great!
The box mentioned to let it cook 7 min, but I found it more aldente than I like, so I let it cook 2 extra min, but in hindsight, I should have removed it after 7 min. The reason is that once I mixed in the mushroom sauce and chicken to the pasta in the skillet, the pasta absorbed my sauce and made it softer than aldente.. but I must say, the pasta did not disintegrate, like the others when they get overcooked. This was a bonus in eyes.
I was so excited at the taste of the pasta that I decided to make an extra portion to take into work. Everyone had a bite and all had the same reaction: their eyes widened and they said "this is better than I expected!"
I showed them the box and all of them said they would try it in their household. I am happy I tried this pasta and look forward to trying the spagetthi, Thank you Catelli and I appreciate the constant re-invention of your pastas.. always fun to try.
