This strawberry-tinted lip balm has become a go-to in my collection, especially for no-makeup days. The creamy, non-sticky formula glides smoothly on my lips, leaving them soft and hydrated. It adds a subtle strawberry tint that enhances my natural lip color without being overpowering, giving just the right pop of color. Paired with a lip liner, it’s my favorite quick look for a fresh, effortless vibe.
The added sweet strawberry scent is light and pleasant, making each application a little indulgence. Though it doesn’t last all day, like most lip balms, it’s easy to reapply, and I love the simple, compact packaging that fits easily into any bag.
This lip balm is perfect when I want a hint of color, a glossy finish, and a touch of sweetness. It’s a staple in my beauty routine!

The creamy, non-sticky formula glides effortlessly on my lips, keeping them soft and moisturized. It’s clear, leaving a natural glossy finish that feels lightweight and comfortable. While it doesn’t last all day—like most lip balms—it’s perfect for easy reapplications throughout the day.
The subtle honey fragrance is a pleasant addition, but because of the scent, it’s not something I can use all the time. Despite this, I still love having it on hand. The packaging is simple, straightforward, and compact, making it easy to carry with me anywhere.
Even with the fragrance limitation, it remains a go-to for those times I want a touch of honey sweetness and a glossy shine.

The FoodSaver Handheld Vacuum Sealer is a great tool for keeping your food fresh longer. It's perfect for storing leftovers, produce, cheese, baked goods, and even meats—just make sure to freeze the meats first. Its compact and lightweight design is ideal for small kitchens. The device features a one-touch button for ease of use and a removable reservoir for simple cleanup.
However, you do need to press firmly during the sealing process, which might be challenging if you have carpal tunnel. While the cordless design is convenient, the battery life may not be sufficient for larger meal prep sessions. Priced at $38.02, it only works with FoodSaver bags and containers, which can add up over time. Despite this, it’s a solid choice for quick and efficient food preservation.

I got the Shortbread color for the Vida by Paderno toaster, but it’s also available in other matte finishes. Having used budget toasters in the past, I usually opted for cheaper options since I often toast bread in a pan with butter. The major difference with this model is its stainless steel outer shell, which offers superior durability and a more premium feel compared to plastic toasters.
Design & Features:
The Vida by Paderno combines style with functionality. It features one-touch settings and a dial for customizing the toasting level, perfect for bread and bagels. The wide slots handle thick-cut bread and bagels with ease, ensuring even toasting every time.
Ease of Use:
Cleanup is simple thanks to the easy-to-remove crumb tray. This toaster also comes with a two-year warranty from Canadian Tire, adding extra peace of mind.
Price Point:
At $89.99, it’s not the most budget-friendly option, but the high-quality stainless steel build and elegant design make it worth the investment. Cheaper toasters might not match the durability or style of this one, making it a solid choice if you’re looking to enhance your kitchen’s aesthetic.
Final Thoughts:
If you’re into beautiful kitchen appliances that combine aesthetics with quality, this toaster is definitely worth considering. It not only performs well but also elevates the look of your kitchen.

The packaging is fun and simple, with zip closures that keep the popcorn fresh. The gourmet flavors, in sleek black bags, really stand out. Made with great ingredients, this popcorn is healthier than others and comes from a local company. The unique flavors, inspired by cocktails like whisky and tequila, as well as savory, spicy, and espresso options, make them appealing. My child loved the birthday cake pop, though the chocolate-covered ones don't stay fresh and can melt and stick together in warm conditions so I hope they’ll add that in the packaging that they keep it in room or cool temperatures. The flavours are balanced, with just the right seasoning to pair well with food. The popcorn is light yet crunchy, and although it’s on the pricey side, I don’t mind as it is well thought of and made with quality ingredients, it's fun to eat and share especially on parties.

The CANVAS Kinsale Stainless Steel Serving Set with Faux Wood Finish, 3-piece set, is a stylish and practical addition to any casual dining setup. I love that it's made of 18/10 stainless steel, ensuring maximum corrosion resistance and a long-lasting shine. The faux wood finish on the plastic handles adds a chic, casual look perfect for indoor and outdoor dining, while making it dishwasher safe and ergonomically comfortable. The set has a substantial weight, providing a solid and balanced feel in hand, which enhances its usability. This set is built to withstand long-lasting wear and tear, with excellent heat retention and scratch resistance. Although dishwasher safe, handwashing with a non-scratch sponge is recommended to avoid scratches and prolong its lifespan. Priced at $16, it offers great value for its quality and durability, though it’s better suited for casual settings rather than upscale dining tablescapes. While this set doesn’t align with my personal preference for a more neutral, elegant, formal tablescapes, it certainly serves as a charming addition to summer dining setups. -
