The very strong artificial vanilla scent and artificial sweetener flavours made this quite undrinkable. It almost gave me a headache. I'm not a fan of instant coffee, but instant coffee + a splash of vanilla extract and maple syrup tastes infinitely better. Very disappointing, even by instant coffee standards. -

Got it free through the product review club! It smells amazing- first impression is lime skittles, but it's not as overpowering as it sounds and develops into something more complex. I usually don't like fragranced products, but this smelled natural and not too strong. The deodorant applied easily. The texture was gritty but there was no irritation. Note that I am quite used to baking soda deodorants, but it's never given my sensitive skin a problem. It survives my workouts and I haven't noticed any staining, although my workout clothes are mostly light. I would like to see a zero waste option in the future. -

I am not a fan of fragrances and air fresheners. Poo Pourri is different. It prevents bathroom odours without being overpowering. Although it's expensive, one spray is all you need. It smells a bit like fruit loops, without being overly artificial.
Their commercials may be hiliarious but this product is no joke. It actually works.

Good price, especially on sale and has all the basic features you need in a tracker-- heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, exercise logging and step counting. Heart rate and steps are pretty accurate. Comfortable to wear all day and to bed- you barely feel it. However, the Fitbit app is a huge disappointment. Have had troubles with it from day 1. Sometimes days won't sync, sometimes the data is wrong, sometimes my sleep is not logged and I have never been able to access my fitbit settings. I have spent too much time troubleshooting and online searches reveal that the problems I experienced have existed for years. I have had to download and re-download the app on multiple devices. And yes, you need the app to use the Fitbit. So the Fitbit is nice when it works, but it's not reliable. -

The soap (I use the oatmeal one) works well, doesn't irritate skin and is not overly fragranced. Love the low price and minimal packaging. It is soap, not a body bar, so I did have to get used to the squeaky clean feel afterwards but with some lotion, my skin stayed moisturized. -

I have heard so many great thing about SheaMoisture and was excited to try this as I was looking for an new deep conditioning mask.
Unfortunately, this product didn't work for my hair. It was quick think and a bit of a challenge to distribute. The smell reminded me of playdough. It was too heavy for my hair and left my hair feeling coated and almost stiff. I have. However, I did feel that the protein made my hair stronger.
It took a few washes to get my hair bouncy and back to normal again.

TRESemmé® Perfectly (un)Done Weightless Moisturizing Conditioner

For a low price, you get a large quantity of conditioner.
This conditioner has amazing slip and makes detangling easy. It moisturizes my hair without weighing it down, so it is a nice everyday conditioner. I even add some to my hair as leave in. The only thing I didn't like was that the scent was very strong, but it didn't cause me any irritation or sensitivity.

I've tried this several times and was disappointed, considering it is quite a popular brand of coconut water.
It is not very coconutty, and tastes quite sour. It has an aftertaste similar to the one you get after drinking a sports drink- perhaps from the added vitamin C?

This yogurt is so good. I buy this regularly. At 6%, it's very creamy and flavourful. Because it is balkan style, the texture is perfect- before stirring, it is almost mousse-like.
There are no added thickeners and no added sugar.
In addition to eating as yogurt (with fruits and nuts), I use it for various recipes and sometimes as a sour cream replacement.
Most other plain yogurts just can't compare.

Purchased from Whole Foods half price. I previously bought a bottle at WalMart, never saw it again, and was so excited to see it on sale at Whole Foods.
I love this gel. I apply it to soaking wet hair after I shower and my curls turn out defined and shiny with no crunch.
It is quite sticky to apply so I make sure my hair is very wet and that I add a bit of water to my hand.
It is also nice for smoothing out frizz.
When I want extra-hold I do layer with a stronger gel. Keep in mind that my hair is very coarse, thick and low porosity, so most of my product ends up not being absorbed/ gets lost in the towel drying process.
It does contain glycerin so I don't use it as much in the summer.
The scent is interesting- it really does kind of smell like bamboo. It seems like many do not like it but I kind of don't mind it at all.
