Honey Nut Cheerios Hearty Oat Crunch
These are a really tasty variation on the traditional Honey Nut Cherrios, adding a bit of flavour and making my bowl of breakfast cereal seem just a little more filling and substantial to start the day. Love them!

I actually only ended up with these scissors as I was collecting the Jamie Oliver stamps at Sobeys and these were all they had left at the end of the promotion. I've had them in my kitchen for months now, and use them on a daily basis. They are great kitchen scissors, easy to use and easy to clean, with a blade that stays sharp. They are also very comfortable to use. + -

I have thick hair with a natural wave, and am always looking for a shampoo that will enhance this wave. This shampoo smells great, and when first washed and dried it does add volume to my hair, however, within an hour or two my hair feels heavy and weighted down, as opposed to the voluminous look I was hoping for. -
Rollover OMEGA 3 Enriched Dog Treats
I purchased these as a treat for our Labrador Retriever, and love the fact that they are made in Canada with Canadian ingredients. Out dog loves them as well, which to me is the real review. ((Woof Woof Arf Woof))!!

This "mini" fan has turned out to be a far better product then I was expecting when purchased at amazon.ca, to the point where I am no longer using it for the purpose I intended it for, but have given it to my son to replace the bigger, louder, and not nearly as well made fan in his bedroom!
The fan is slightly larger then expected, but still small enough to clip to the side of my desk out of the way (my original purpose for purchasing this fan). The product description does give a very accurate size of the fan, however, I think I skimmed over that when I saw the word "mini" and didn't realize it would be larger then other "mini" fans I have tried.
There is no comparison between this and other battery operated mini fans out there, as this fan is solid and well made, and it displaces ("fans") far more air when in operation then other small fans. The clamp is also well made and stronger, clamping easily onto table edges, shelves, bed headboards, etc. Our dog (large Labrador Retriever) has knocked against it several times without dislodging it from wherever I have it clamped, yet it's not clamping so hard as to do any damage to any surfaces.
It's very easy to use, with two speeds. The USB cord is long enough to be allow lots of movement in placing the fan. When my teenage son heard how quiet it was, and felt how much air it moves, he asked to try it in his bedroom to replace his larger and noisier fan. He has attached it to his headboard, and is using an old USB block he had to plug the fan's cord into and then use the wall outlet for power. He can't believe how much more comfortable he was sleeping the last several nights with the quieter fan - I am not getting it back from him.
I purchased this fan for my own use at a discounted price in return for my honest opinion and review, although this in no way obligates me to provide a positive review. I think that this fan was a great purchase - it is well made, bigger and quieter then I expected, and can be used virtually anywhere in our home. I highly recommend this product!

Nivea Creme
This seems to be on sale a lot lately at my local grocery store (Dominion), so I have gone back to using it more and more. Love it on my rough skin patches, and the scent has not really changed since I used it years ago.

I like this one a lot, which is not too surprising as I find I usually like Vaseline Intensive Care Products to begin with. However, the first few times I used this I put WAY too much on my hands and ended up wasting it by wiping it off. Once I found my groove with it though, I learned to apply just a drop and spread it out thoroughly so that it absorbs quickly. Using so little, the scent becomes lighter then other Vaseline products, which I also appreciate. Also, using such a small amount means this will last me a long, long time, making the price even more attractive. -

I bought this mat primarily for my kitchen, with the idea that I will move it into my creative corner when needed. It's made of a thick material with a soft foam core, and is very comfortable beneath my bare feet (as I tend to be in my bare feet in my home). The checker-board pattern on the top is comfortable and "non-stick" - even in my bare feet I do not feel the pattern on the soles of my feet. The texture on the back of the mat keeps the mat firmly in place on my tile floor, even with a a few drips on water sneaking in underneath it. It cleans very easily - a damp cloth over the surface returns to "as good as new" condition.
I do not have any problems or issues with this mat - although I have used thicker gel and foam anti fatigue mats in the past, this easily compares with them and for the home use that I bought it for, this is a much better price point then some of the "professional / industrial" ones that are out there. I purchased this mat at a discounted price in return for my honest opinion and review, but this in no way obligates me to give a positive review. I am very happy with this mat, and highly recommend it as an economical anti-fatigue mat.

Dollar Store Cat Toys

This is perfect for our cat, as most of her toys end up hidden within a day or so "never to be seen again." We are going to discover the mother-lode somewhere someday! Since they only last a day or two before vanishing, all I ever buy for her anymore are dollar store toys - she makes the $10 toys vanish as quickly as the $1 toys, so it works for us. -
