This is a book that I believe more people should read. I read it about two years ago, and the story has stayed with me. I actually got totally drawn into the story, staying up late and getting up early to read over a summer weekend. Well written with well developed characters in a historic scene, with a message that more people should hear. -

Excellent cookbook! I grew up in a house filled with the Company's Coming cookbooks, but this one is one of only about half a dozen that I bought for myself when i was living on my own. There's something for everyone and every occasion, with clear and concise directions and beautiful photography. Easy to make 9for the most part) and crowd favorites - a perfect combination. -

My Mom and Aunts always subscribed to Canadian Living and passed the issues around, although by the time they got to me there were usually a few recipes torn out of it! When I moved across the country, I realized I missed it and got own subscription, which I have keep up for a few years now. I also like the fact that I can talk to my Mom about articles in it as I know she still reads it every month, as well. The recipes are true classics and easy to follow, and the articles are current and well written. -

I actually really like regular Nivea Lip Balm and have used it for years, so I was excited to try this one when a friend gave it too me. It seemed really dry in the tube, and I truly felt like I was rubbing a dried out product across my lips. It was new and sealed when I received it, so it's not like it had been left out and dried up. After I rubbed it on (I say rub instead of apply because it truly did require a little bit of force), there was a pretty color to my lips, but not a shine like the name suggests. The color seemed to wear off quickly. I won't be using this again - it did not leave my lips feeling nourished like other lip balms and the little burst of color was not worth the effort. -
Ashland Coarse Decorative Sand
I like the Ashland brand sand from Michaels, as it's courser then some of the other brands out there and looks more like natural sand. It's great to fill bottles partway and then add a few pebbles, shells and seaglass that I have found on my... +
I like the Ashland brand sand from Michaels, as it's courser then some of the other brands out there and looks more like natural sand. It's great to fill bottles partway and then add a few pebbles, shells and seaglass that I have found on my beachcombing adventures. -
Battery Operated Tealight Candles
I buy these in bulk, and most of them last quite a long time (always one or two duds in a bag of 50, but I can live with that). I like to put a few of them in Mason Jars and place the jars around the deck on summer evenings, as it gives a warm... +
I buy these in bulk, and most of them last quite a long time (always one or two duds in a bag of 50, but I can live with that). I like to put a few of them in Mason Jars and place the jars around the deck on summer evenings, as it gives a warm flickering glow to the area without having to worry about flames and kids running around. -
Kleenex Holiday Tissue Boxes
I love the way these can "hide in plain sight" and blend in with the Christmas decorations around the house. I love Kleenex brand, as they are soft enough and strong enough for all our needs, and these holiday theme boxes are a perfect addition... +

As with a lot of things, I find the regular price of these to be a little high, but there are often coupons available for them and they are also often on sale. When they are on sale I stock up for a week or two. I can't get my teenagers to eat breakfast on the way out the door in the morning, but they will grab one of these and drink them on the way to the bus. I also like grabbing one and being able to drink it in the car on my commute. I love the taste, and the consistency is just right for a drinkable yogurt. -
Cashmere Double Roll Bathroom Tissue

Although I only buy it on sale, I find it is one sale at one grocery store or another almost every week. Regular price is a little too much for me, but the sale prices put it within my budget. Although I've been told that as it is a little thicker than some store brands it can cause plumbing issues, we have never had an issue in this household of four people sharing one bathroom. It's soft and everything toilet paper should be! -
