This really helps to ease a cough. If I get a cold, I rub some on my chest, and it easese the cough. This is especially helpful at night, when a cough can cause me to have trouble sleeping.
I find that it is good for more than just a cough, though! I get migraines, and I find something about the scent of this helps with the throbbing pain, if I rub a bit on my temples. I also find that the scent of it somehow helps with the nausea that comes with migraines, so its a double-good thing.
I like that it's a solid product that has been around a long time, and that I can trust. Solid, and reliable, and works!

I started getting cold sores a long time ago, and they're such a pain. My Mum, who also gets them, swears by this product; she's always talking about it if I mention cold sores. So, I thought I'd give it a try.
My experience of it was that it didn't shorten the time I had a cold sore, but it sure made it feel so, so, so much better. It was very soothing, and made the sore less painful than usual. It didn't hurt/burn/itch nearly as much as usual!
Also - and this is great - it kept my lips (and the sore) so super-moisturized that it didn't crack open and weep the nearly as much as they usually do. It really does help with the healing. Instead of getting all dry, and cracking open, it was just mostly really soft. It makes sense that it helps with the healing, because the natural ingredients are absolutely fantastic!
Interestingly, my Mum says it makes her cold sores much shorter! It didn't do that for me, but it did so many other great things for me that I now always make sure I have a tube on hand, in case of an outbreak. I think the reason that it shortens my Mum's, and not mine, is she is able to tell when she's getting one (before it actually appears), and I can't....I think that starting the treatment early does cause the sore to be shorter.
Oh, and, a tip - apply the cream with a Q-Tip, and then throw the Q-Tip away. This is a much better idea then touching the sore with your bare fingers, which just gets the virus on your hands.
Lovely product! Would totally recommend it!

Good taste and kept me feeling full all afternoon.
The taste is nice. It is not chalky, as some other protein drinks can be, in terms of taste. And it kept me feeling full, which is great! I really loved the rich chocolate flavour! I also really love how much protein in has in it, as I am trying to get more protein in my diet.
However....it has artificial sweeteners. I don't eat these, as I don't feel they're safe. So, sadly, I would not buy this because of the artificial sweetners in it. But other than that, it is a great product!

Taste is great, and kept me feeling full!
As I said, I really liked the taste. It doesn't have that chalky funny taste that other protein drinks can sometimes have. I liked the vanilla flavour, and scent. I also liked that it kept me feeling quite full. It makes a really good afternoon pick-me-up and kept me going until suppertime. I liked how much protein was in it!
Th only downside: it has artificial sweeteners in it. I don't believe this are healthy to consume, so, although the product is very good, I would not purchase it due to the artificialy sweeteners in it.

Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash
I bought this as a body wash, but I wound up using it as a face wash, too. I just really liked how it washed my skin without drying it out at all. I don't think I ever came across a body wash that did that, before. In fact, if anything, my skin was... +
I bought this as a body wash, but I wound up using it as a face wash, too. I just really liked how it washed my skin without drying it out at all. I don't think I ever came across a body wash that did that, before. In fact, if anything, my skin was more moisterized (and softer) after using the body wash. That's especially nice here in Saskatoon, where our winters are long and dry, and really dry out my skin. I like the light scent, too. -

The fabric is just right - lots of stretch, not see-through, and fits well. I wear leggings a lot, because they're so fun and versatile - you can wear them as pants, or tights, or anything! I was pleased with how the fabric on these was nice and thick, but not so thick that they were too warm or anything. Looks great with a tunic top! Looks great in many other ways, too, such as under a demin skirt, or even dressed up with a fun mini dress for an evening out. Very versatile! -

I love Old Navy athletic wear. I've purchased a lot of it lately, and my favourite are the athletic bras - they "strappy" ones are so pretty, trendy, and also they are comfortable and give you the support you need while working out. Their leggings are great, too! The fit is perfect, and the patterns are so pretty that I've worn them for things other than working out! Their floral pattern athletic leggings are so pretty and neat-looking that I've worn them under a demin skirt, as leggings/tights, and they look fantastic. Good prices, fast delivery when you purchase online, which is a bonus. Nice and wide selection, too - shirts, bras, leggings, you can get your whole workout attire here. There's some great workout shirts - fun, trendy ones with cutouts on the back of the shirts, so that you're pretty, "strappy" type bras can show through! Looks really wonderful! -

I may not be 21 anymore, but these clothes sure make me feel like I am! :-) I love this T-shirt - the colour is trendy (and perfect for fall!), and the fabric is soft and breathable! It's the perfect everyday T. You can dress it down, with skinny jeans, or even dress it up for evening. I like how versatile it is, and how comfortable. -

I love this scent! It's nice and mild, but still strong enough. I don't like perfumes that overpower, and this one doesn't. I love the natural ingredients; everything I've ever purchased from Pacifica has been fantastic. The scent is exactly what you'd hope for - it smells exactly like I'm walking by the river when the lilacs are in bloom!
Lilacs bloom here for such a short, short time. I love the scent, and I miss it when they go. Now I can have it whenever I wish!

Nabisco Honey Maid Grahams Crackers

Can't beat these classics! Perfect for a snack (and kids love 'em), and also work great for making pie crusts with. Fantastic dipped in milk. It's a nice treat because it's so much healthier than cookies or candy, but still makes you feel that you've had a treat.
I only like this brand! Gotta get the right, brand name. There's knock-offs and no-name type graham wafers out there, but they're simply not as good.
