I tried these out b/c they're healthy (another source of protein) but I didn't fall in love. It's not something that you eat stand-alone, always just thrown on top of hot cereal, salads, or thrown into baking. They have a bland nutty taste that is soft and not crunchy. I just felt that I forgot about them in the kitchen and couldn't remember to use them. And when I did it was more like taking a vitamin; good for me for adding a dash of something healthy to me day but it's just not a thrill. -

This is the very first bronzer I ever bought, and the packaging is still the same with the molded starburst. I have been a repeat buyer with it b/c I love the natural tan tone with it to add shady areas. I like that it's a little shimmery bronzey to give a summer glow. It's really easy to work with being a powder and is perfect for a first timer. It has a lot of product in it, usually about 6 months worth using it everyday. -
Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Fruit & Nut Medley Harvest Blueberries & mixed nuts
Loved it. When I was eating one I thought "yum what flavour is this?", the fruit flavour is really nice. I had to go back and look at the package to see that it was blueberry. It's nice and chewy (not sticky to teeth) and has a lot of "junk" in... +
Loved it. When I was eating one I thought "yum what flavour is this?", the fruit flavour is really nice. I had to go back and look at the package to see that it was blueberry. It's nice and chewy (not sticky to teeth) and has a lot of "junk" in it like nuts and grains to really satisfy and fill me up. Tasty. -
Batiste Dry Shampoo Original Clean & Classic
This was my favourite dry shampoo so far (out ot 3 types). First I love the pressure/strength of the aerosol spray. It's really strong and doesn't clog up, and it's easy to direct it to the right places. Second I loved the smell; like a fresh... +
This was my favourite dry shampoo so far (out ot 3 types). First I love the pressure/strength of the aerosol spray. It's really strong and doesn't clog up, and it's easy to direct it to the right places. Second I loved the smell; like a fresh citrus clean. Remember to shake the can first, then spray it in and brush it. Then after 10 minutes I could notice the most difference. I could feel with my fingers that my roots were soft and dry and free of oil. Also this one really gave my roots volume; I could tussle it upside down and then when I stood up I had so much more shape. I have brunette hair and didn't have a problem with white residue, it's probably good to work it in after applying it. Made my hair feel and look cleaner and softer again. -
L'Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Hairspray
Really impressed. I have the unscented version and it doesn't leave a cloud of styling fragrance around me, but does have an alcohol-like scent when it's applied. I love the force of the spray as it comes out of the bottle. It has a strong and... +
Really impressed. I have the unscented version and it doesn't leave a cloud of styling fragrance around me, but does have an alcohol-like scent when it's applied. I love the force of the spray as it comes out of the bottle. It has a strong and wide spray that is even and powerful, and I can see the product flying through the air to get precise application. It's so powerful you can hold the can farther away than most other sprays I've used. I love the flexible hold it gives. I pretty much douse my hair up in a bun to prevent fly-aways and this does the job, while I can touch my hair throughout the day and not have that crunchy effect. It's just soft in place, and doesn't come undone. -
Bath & Body Works Sanitizing Hand Gel
These are an impulse buy for me & are a lot of fun. I love that they sell the rubber holders for them that can clip into your purse/stroller/car. So necessary especially when I'm running around town and eating fast food... or before I eat samples... +
These are an impulse buy for me & are a lot of fun. I love that they sell the rubber holders for them that can clip into your purse/stroller/car. So necessary especially when I'm running around town and eating fast food... or before I eat samples at Costco (they should have a hand bac pump right when you walk in). I love all the fruity scents the best, like Fruit Punch. And I love that they switch out with new scents all the time, especially seasonal ones. Fits in a stocking too. -
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks
Ok so I've never been pregnant, but I have a visible problem with scars from stretch marks that appeared in high school so I can't wear low cut tops. I wish back when I was a teenager I could have been using this on my chest b/c then maybe it may... +
Ok so I've never been pregnant, but I have a visible problem with scars from stretch marks that appeared in high school so I can't wear low cut tops. I wish back when I was a teenager I could have been using this on my chest b/c then maybe it may have worked, unfortunately it (obviously) doesn't reduce the appearance of set-in scars like mine. So I can't vouch for it's efficacy. But I have been using it twice a day for 6 weeks in a "wishing well" sort of way. I can say that it's a rich/thick cream and smells amaaaaaaaze... it smells like white chocolate, don't eat this. It smells like a white chocolate factory, so that's really enjoyable to apply and you smell good too. I like this formula way better than their oil b/c that was way too messy. -
Nivea Lip Care SPF 30
This one is great, I like it b/c I think it's the only balm stick I have right now that has SPF in it. So it's the go-to one I grab when I'm gonna be outdoors. It goes on completely sheer and very light and thin, not sticky or thick. I think it's... +
This one is great, I like it b/c I think it's the only balm stick I have right now that has SPF in it. So it's the go-to one I grab when I'm gonna be outdoors. It goes on completely sheer and very light and thin, not sticky or thick. I think it's pretty identical in feel and look to other Nivea balms, like the Hydro Care one. So if you've like the Nivea lip balm sticks I would say switch to this one just b/c it has such a benefit in having the SPF in it. I would say though that in terms of feel I still prefer Bath & Body Works (gloss) and Lipsmackers (balm) which both provide a more thick and stay-there feel that lasts longer and has flavours. -
Bath and body works liplicious tasty lip color sheer
Love this, the packaging is a little newer now and I have the flavour/shade Cherry Cola. It's a deep dark burgundy in the tube but goes on subtley-pink sheer. The tube looks like it's glittery, but you don't see those glitters on your lips so... +
Love this, the packaging is a little newer now and I have the flavour/shade Cherry Cola. It's a deep dark burgundy in the tube but goes on subtley-pink sheer. The tube looks like it's glittery, but you don't see those glitters on your lips so don't worry it goes on casual. I looooove the scent and flavour. It does smell and taste like cherry cola candies, kind of like a Dr Pepper. It's a nice application where you can feel it stuck on your lips but not messy or goopy.... you can't feel it there when you pop your lips, so it has a good coverage and stays put. Definite would buy again, and it's fab on top of any lipstick shade. -

I just switched to one of these Lancome Pallettes for the fall (Ruby Affair). I like the combo of colours here, and the shimmery ones mostly. It has 3 shimmery ones in a purple, mauve, and grey and they really compliment my olive complexion and show up. But I would say they're more of a daytime palette, not very dramatic for night. I love that these palettes all come with a strip of highlight powder, and a strip of black for a smokey/around the eyelines more dramatic look. I don't use the brushes it comes with, but I like that it has a "stiff" mirror that can be opened and stays upright on a counter when it's open. It also comes with a clear insert that fits in and tells you where to put each colour. -
