This is the 1st dry shampoo I've ever tried, so I didn't know what to expect, nor did I have a base for comparison. Nonetheless, I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked! I tested this product 2.5 days after my last regular shampoo (I usually wash my hair every other day), & Batiste seemed to take away most, if not all of the greasiness. However, I would consider this as more of a 'hair refresher' as it says on the bottle, as you can't expect the same results as a true in-shower shampoo. So although I wouldn't recommend it as a shampoo replacement, nor do I think it would be a good idea to use this at the beginning of a long day (especially if you have a business meeting, special occasion, or anything else like that happening). That being said, I can see this being a great product to use on those days where you just don't have the time to wash & style as usual, & dry shampoo is certainly a much better option than just no shampoo at all! Not sure if I'll buy it in the near future simply because I've never really found the need for this type of product, but I'm open to considering it & I can see it being perfect down the road when I become a busy mom :) -

Received a sample of Gucci Guilty for my husband & we both fell in love with this scent! It makes him smell irresistible & although we haven't bought a bottle of it yet, I think it's worth it as a gift (a bit expensive to buy just because, but really quite comparable in price to other designer colognes). -

I tried this recently after receiving a coupon to try it for free & I quite liked it. I do recommend drinking it without the lid if possible because the chocolate balls on top surprised me at first, & that way you aren't sipping the layers out of a tiny hole. The only reason I'm undecided on whether or not I'd buy it again is because I'm not in the habit of purchasing specialty hot beverages, but if I remember it next time I'm buying a donut I'll get it again. -

I've been buying the strawberry flavour for quite some time now & enjoy them quite a bit. However, I was a bit hesitant to buy the the cookies & creme flavour because I often find that the 'healthy chocolate' flavours taste very artificial. Recently I received a sample of this flavour in a sampler box in the mail, so I gave it a shot & to my pleasant surprise I loved it! The taste was much better than expected & I like that I can feel good about eating Special K snacks because they're a healthier alternative to many other options out there. The 1 thing I would change though (& I recognize that this comes with the territory of being a portion & calorie controlled snack), is I wish that they would be more filling; they really only tie me over for a short time until my next meal before I'm hungry again. -

Like any food or drink, wine is a particularly subjective matter. I am by no means a wine expert, but I absolutely hate this wine! I thought for a long time that I must hate all chardonnays because I normally like Jackson Triggs, but I recently tried another brand's chardonnay & I actually somewhat enjoyed it. So although I'm not a huge fan of any chardonnay, I found this 1 especially dry & much too woody for my taste. -
Jackson Triggs Sauvignon Blanc
This is my go-to white wine. It's great with a meal, on its own, or even in sangria! The flavour is strong enough that it has its own place, & yet not so bold that it takes over your palette, which is why its great to have on hand for any occasion!

Jackson Triggs Pinot Grigio
My mother-in-law introduced me to this wine which is a great value! It has enough sweetness to cater to those who don't typically like the taste of wine, & is a great product in general, especially for its low price!

These yummy granola bars are the perfect craving buster for a chocoholic like me! These are quickly becoming 1 of my favourite afternoon snacks to have at work. I bought them as a cheaper version of Quaker Dipps Caramel Nut flavour, & although there is a difference in taste, PC's variety is great in & of itself. I also like that it offers a similar taste without the risk of nuts for those who are allergic. -

As soon as I opened the package for the 1st time I got a whiff of a tasty smell. I love the yogourt-like drizzle on top & the overall (berry) flavour was pretty good. I do wish that the consistency was a little less chewy a it felt like I was biting through a rice krispie treat with that marshmallow-y texture. Also, I too agree that more flavours would be great. -
