I have sun spots and although this brightener made no difference on them, I do feel it evens the tone of the rest of my face.

I love McCain Superfries, especially the Crinkle cut fries.
I like to bake the fries in the oven and find that they turn out with just a bit of brown on the edges, perfectly nice and crispy!
They are not oily or salty, in fact I add salt to mine. I highly recommend as close to restaurant quality from the freezer section!

OMG I am 'In-Love' with this Face Oil! In the winter, it is very dry and windy here in Saskatchewan and I always find it a struggle to keep my nose and cheeks un-flaky and moisturized properly.
For years, if I blew my nose once, I would have a red, dry look to it for a week afterwards. No more! I put this on problem areas before I go to sleep and wake up looking like I have skin in it's normal condition. Doesn't look oily at all or clog my pores. Honestly I am so sold and highly recommend if you have ever experienced what I am talking about.

I used this product regularly to remove a full face of make up. I found that it works very well to remove eye and face make up and is gentle on the skin.
The only downfall is that because it is an oil, you need to wash your face after using, but then it's pre-moisturized!

I have been using this product for the purpose of reviewing for ChickAdvisor for approximately 3 weeks in concert with the Idéalia Life Serum.
After washing the day off my face at night; I apply a generous amount of the gel to my face and décolletage. I am sure you do not need to be as generous as I am (I am not slathering by any means), however I love the feel of balm and the light fragrance.
I found it somewhat similar to the Clinique pink gel, however opaque, heavier and longer lasting.
I have not seen a reduction in wrinkles or sunspots. However, Idéalia Skin Sleep really moisturizes and refreshes the skin overnight.
I found myself tempted to peel/rub the gel off before morning, as I could feel it on the skin if I touched my face. This would be the only downfall, easily ignored.

I have been using this product for the purpose of reviewing for ChickAdvisor for approximately 3 weeks in concert with the Idéalia Skin Sleep.
After washing my face in the morning and prior to putting on makeup, I rub a thin layer of the serum across my face and décolletage.
I have not seen a reduction in wrinkles or sunspots. However, I would say that this serum does work well as an illuminator and makes the skin feel 'fresh' and moisturized. It has found it's place in my routine as I reach for it to refresh immediately now each day.
I would love to see this with an SPF, for use on no make up days.

VH Steamers has a new dish out with Sweet & Spicy Dumplings and it is delicious!
You get three large-ish sized dumplings (wrapped in rice paper I think), four bites for me -in a dish of carrots, rice, red peppers, onions, green beans and water chestnuts. A vegetarian dream.
The sauce is sweet with just a bit of a kick, not a real bite for those looking for spice, you won't find much here. As with all Steamers, you choose how much sauce you add or not. 4-4 1/2 minutes and it's ready. I'm buying more next trip!

Marcelle BB Cream-To-Powder
I bought this BB Cream to Powder Compact thinking it may work similarly to the Clinique build-able compact foundation. Boy was I wrong. Maybe I am giving a poor review based on high expectations but; it does not cover my sunspots and it rubs off... +
I bought this BB Cream to Powder Compact thinking it may work similarly to the Clinique build-able compact foundation. Boy was I wrong.
Maybe I am giving a poor review based on high expectations but; it does not cover my sunspots and it rubs off concealer. Also, it has a greasy feel to it.
I have only used this 10 times tops because I don't like it much and the mirror has fallen out as well, so even the glue used is sub par.
I do not recommend, sadly, because I am trying to switch my regime to all Canadian. Don't rule out the liquid Marcelle though, they are winners.

This is my first outing with a powered toothbrush and it took my awhile to get accustomed to the 'ins and outs' of the new and powerful tool in my hand. At 41 years old, I no longer had to shake my head back and forth to 'help' my brushing (which I hadn't realized I was even doing!). How ridiculous I must have looked! You just stand there, apply a bit more pressure, slowly move and be patient.
It works. Really well. as noted above, I can't say if it works better than other power brushes, but this one worked for me.
I would like a smaller head as I usually use a smaller brush. I would recommend NOT to use a foaming paste, which I switched out of while testing this and a regular paste was much tidier.
Overall very good.

This litter has changed my mind about clay litter.
I stopped using clay litter several years ago for may reasons; environmental, weight and primarily, it was sticking in my cats' furry pantaloons!
A & H Clump & Seal Complete Odour Sealing Clumping Litter has a fine sand texture that the cats (and I) like, the perfume is not aggressive and the clay is not all gluey and sticking into their mid-long length fur.
It is very easy to scoop as the fine sand pour through the scoop easily. The dry sand also falls off of their paws and does not track through the house - hallelujah!
I do recommend this above other types of clay litter. Thank you for the opportunity to try it.
