Timothy's K-Cups Breakfast Blend

My office purchases this coffee for the Keurig in the staff room. I would never choose this coffee for myself. I only ever use these k-cups when there is NOTHING else to choose from . The coffee is bitter, and can't even be smoothed out with cream and sugar so it is my last resort, only when I definitely need a hit of caffeine to get through my day. I recommend the Tim Hortons k-cups over these. -

I was a bit wary when I saw this being marketed as a weekly topcoat. The only time I manage to keep my polish looking nice for a week or more is when I use a UV lamp, but I was excited to see if this nail polish would be the exception. I received my free nail polish from the product review club (the colour was Tropix, it is beautiful and bright, a nice juxtaposition to the weather I'm experiencing) and top coat in the mail last Wednesday, put it on right away and let it stand the test of time. The first thing I noticed about this Topcoat is that it has a terrible plastic smell that I wasn't expecting, but I figured if it works well that wouldn't matter, and besides, it went away after about an hour.
After the first day I was happy to see no chips anywhere, but by the end of day two I had couple. By Sunday I had some major chips and by Monday evening I had to remove it. All in all, that isn't bad. Generally my nail polish doesn't last too long, because I'm not all that careful so I'm not totally displeased with the result. Five days is a pretty good result, and if I had put it on Sunday night, Generally, I think I'll keep using my UV light, but this will work when there isn't time for that.

I'll be happy to add this nail polish to my rotation.

I got this for free from the product review club, and while I really liked the chocolate one, I don't think I'll ever buy the vanilla flavour again. Unfortunately this one had something off about it, it tasted like vanilla, but there was some other flavour in there that put me off. I think the chocolate does a better job of masking this flavour, and I didn't notice it, but with the vanilla, I couldn't even finish the drink. It's a real shame, as I liked and would buy the chocolate again, but this one, not so much. Overall, I found that drinking this before my run helped me run faster and longer, but it isn't worth it when I can barely finish the drink. -

I got this product for free from Chick Advisor, and I was very happy to try it. I have struggled to get up and eat breakfast in the mornings, so I thought this might be a nice thing to get me going. I really liked the Chocolate, and would be happy to try it again. I did note a slightly weird aftertaste (possibly from an imitation sugar? Not sure) that I didn't really like, but other than that, the consistency was good, and so was the flavour. I run a lot, so I also drank one of these an hour and a half before a run, and found that my run went very well, as I was given a good boost of energy from the protein shake. Premier has a really good product here, and if I see it in stores for a good price (I have no idea what these are priced at) I might try them again. -

I got this product for a bargain a little while ago, it was in a set of things at Shopper Drug Mart I believe for very cheap. I wasn't really expecting much from it and was very pleasantly surprised when I found that it works very well! I don't generally go out of my way to buy body wash and tend to just get whatever is cheap when I do, so it was very nice to find one that worked so well and didn't leave any film behind. I don't know that I would go out of my way to get it again, but I enjoyed it while I had it! -

I've tried using this deodorant a few times over the years and have never had a good time with it. Honestly, a lot of these really girly scented, ultra light ones do nothing for me. I think the final line with this deodorant was last summer. I was sitting at work and felt a bead of sweat rolling down my side. I realized that I need something stronger, and I've never used this product again. If you aren't someone who really struggles with sweating it may work for you, but not me, unfortunately. -

I had been having trouble sleeping for the past few months since I got a cat. Something about her moving around and getting on and off of the bed in the night was disturbing my sleep. I told this to my aunt and she recommended I try taking a magnesium supplement. I found MagPop! at my local Shoppers Drug Mart after doing some research online and deciding what I wanted to try was an effervescent drink mix. This supplement is super easy to take, and it has the added bonus of getting me some extra vitamin C as well. You can buy this as a tub of mix, or as little portable sachets. I just add one sachet to about half a glass of water and drink it about an hour before bedtime. I found, even after my first time, that it made me feel sleepy! It was exactly what I was looking for!
I now take it almost every night, and my sleep has gotten so much better. I can't be any more happy with this product (and it's cute cat mascot seemed like a sign), though it is a little pricey, it is definitely worth it! I've taken the pill form of magnesium before, but it never seems to work as quickly, or as well as the drinkable kind.
I highly recommend this product.

I used to use this scrub a lot when I was younger, but now that I'm older, I've realized just how harsh this was on my skin! I think that you need to be very careful with exfoliators, they might seem to be doing you good in the short term (you can't beat that "just exfoliated" feeling) but in the long run it will do some real damage to your skin, and I found that out the hard way. This product is good in moderation, but don't use it often! It will take off dead skin, but it will hurt your healthy skin as well! -

I've been using this exact soap for about a year now. I just love the scent, and I find it so effective! I just add a bit to my cloth and go to town and it cleans up even the toughest messes! I also love how kind it is to my hands. One bottle goes a long way too, so I feel like I can buy it and I'm really getting my money's worth. I just hate when I buy a soap and it doesn't lather at all, and this one suds up amazingly! Good buy! -
