When I noticed my long hair was falling out quite intensely, I decided it might be time to get off the chemical laden, drug store shampoo and try something more natural, so off to Lush I went! As my hair is also prone to drying out at the ends I bought this shampoo bar because of the argan oil in it (and also for the scent - it's divine!) After just one use I noticed my hair was smoother, softer, and not dry at the ends - it was actually moisturized. As I continued using this bar I found my hair was growing faster than usual and best of all, not falling out as badly! The scent of the shampoo is quite strong when you smell the bar itself, but once rinsed from your hair although the scent remains, it is much milder.
I found that standing the bar up (it's a balancing act but is usually possible if you're careful) on a plastic lid (eg. from a pringles container) is better than using the tins they sell for them. By standing it up it gives the bar a better chance to dry out and reduces the chances of it breaking up.

I got the T65 system for Christmas and I absolutely love it! It's fast, effective and so easy to use. I love the fact that it has a light that illuminates your cup as your drink is dispensed, and the LCD display is a great, and very useful little feature. I like that the cup stand height is adjustable/removable to suit the cup size (height). I haven't had to descale the machine yet but from the instruction manual it seems as though it will be a pretty simple process. Cleaning the machine before the first use was also simple - the machine pretty much guides you through it with instructions shown on the LCD display. Really is a smart machine! -

As someone with a gluten allergy that developed fairly recently it's very important to me to find tasty alternatives to 'normal' foods that I am no longer able to eat. The Catelli gluten free pasta range definitely meets that requirement. I find it tastes just like regular Catelli pasta, and actually cooks in less time! Even my boyfriend, who is not gluten sensitive in any way, eats it with me and doesn't notice any difference in taste either. This is my go-to gluten free pasta brand for any pasta recipe, from regular spaghetti dishes to pasta bakes and 'mac n cheese'. I'm so pleased to have found a pasta I can eat that is safe for my allergy, has the same great taste that I grew up on, is easy to find in stores, and is available at a great price. Thanks to Catelli! -

Been tattooed here twice, and would have been a continued client had I not moved out of province.
I personally had the best experience I could have hoped for - for my first tattoo everyone was very reassuring and non-judgemental of my openly visible fear, lol!
They really do have some of the best artists and staff in the city.
The shop itself is always spotless, and they really do ensure the safety standards are maintained well above the average. Cleanliness and safety is not taken lightly.
The shop also stocks a range of other gear - clothing, jewelry, acessories etc - all worth a look even if you're not looking to get pierced or tattooed.

Great price, and not a bad product. It lasts quite well, applies easily and I love the fact that it's retractable so no sharpening is needed - a great time saver when you're in a rush.
I've only ever tried the black one, but I find the colour to be rich - a nice solid black.
It is also easily removed at the end of the day, which is a plus, as I'm not sure anyone enjoys fighting to remove their make up!

I picked this up while on a trip after discovering that I had forgotten to pack and lip balm.
It comes in such a cute sized little container, and has cocoa butter in it - such a great moisturizer. It leaves lips soft and supple, with a gentle shine like regular Vaseline would do, but with the added moisture and scent bonus of the cocoa butter.
Perfect to throw in your pocket or bag especially on cold, windy winter days, to prevent chapping and drying.

The Fresh Water scent is amazing - so fresh and clean smelling, and it leaves a gently scent on your hair without being overpowering or sickly like some products can be.

There are several locations in Winnipeg, and elsewhere in Canada.
The location closest to me always has great tasting, fresh food and super friendly, attentive staff.
The atmosphere is very family friendly, relaxed, cozy, and a nice place to go for date night or a family meal.
Awesome food, great prices, superior service and a pretty much perfect atmosphere - what more could you ask for!

I had been suffering from gum inflammation mostly around the edges of my teeth, which was most likely gingivitis, and tried several other toothpastes and a couple of mouthwashes to try to clear it up but nothing worked, and then I tried Crest. After one week of use my inflammation had disappeared, and as I'm now using it everyday, the inflammation hasn't returned since. This toothpaste is amazing in my opinion - it has certainly helped me immensely with clearing up my sore and swollen gums (which is never a fun thing to have in the first place) plus, the 'cool mint' flavour is pretty awesome too.
If I can I buy this when it's on sale just to save a few pennies, but it is one of the few products I will most certainly pay extra for if need be, because it works and has become a necessary part of my oral health routine.
I'm so glad I found it!

I'm very picky usually when it comes to chocolate, but this is one I know I can always turn to to get a really smooth, creamy, chocolate fix! All of the Dairy Milk chocolate is good, but I like this one especially because of the nuts inside. They certainly don't skimp on the nuts either, so be prepared for some chocolatey, nutty goodness! -
