BOOST Just Protein is a great way to get some extra protein into my busy days!
I am very fortunate that I #gotitfree from ChickAdvisor and had the opportunity to try something new!
I have never used whey protein before and I wasn't sure if there was a difference between that and the regular stuff. Also, I was a bit wary of the "no flavour" part, because a lot of the time when a product says "no flavour" it does actually taste like something. But, BOOST Just Protein is exactly what it says: a whey protein powder that just adds protein and not an unpleasant taste. It's hard to say if it made me more full than if I hadn't added it, but I definitely wasn't hungry until lunch after putting it into my smoothie. I'm excited to try it in all kinds of different things.
I'd definitely recommend giving it a try!

The Body Shop Tea Tree Anti-Imperfection Daily Solution is proving to be what I hoped for when I purchased it.
I have combination skin and I have a tendency to break out during certain parts of my cycle. I wanted something mild enough that it wouldn't dry out my combination skin, but potent enough that it would deal with those annoying little (and big) pimples.
This is easy to use, and surprisingly doesn't smell too strong (as tea tree oil tends to do). You put 2-3 drops onto your face after cleansing in the morning and/or at night before you put on your creams. I usually do it right after getting out of the shower or after washing my face at night so my skin and pores are receptive to the oil.
A huge bonus: it's not extremely oily! (Not that tea tree is, but when it's mixed with something you never know).
The price ($25) is alright, but it looks like it will last a long time so it's definitely worth it.
Give it a try!

At work we've got a Keurig machine so my options for coffee are limited. My partner recently stumbled upon "My Little Brew" Vanilla Hazelnut coffee cups and they're actually pretty good. I'm normally not a fan of flavoured coffee, but these little cups are a nice treat every once in a while. They also smell delicious and my office mate is always asking what smells so good! They were pretty cheap as well. We got them at a school fundraiser so they were only $8. Not sure what the regular pricing is, but I believe they are crowd-funded so I'd imagine it's fairly cheap. Easy email ordering system, too! I'd definitely give it a try. -

My partner and I lead fairly busy lives so we are shopping around for meal replacement/protein bars that are a good deal. We bought a box of the Pure Protein Bars at Costco and they are great! They are a lot less chalky than other protein bars and they're not absolutely massive. Because we got them at Costo the price was pretty good as well. The box we've got has three flavours in it, but so far I've only tried the chocolate. I'd definitely recommend giving this a try! -

The Clif Builder's Protein bars are a great addition to your day. When I am running around and don't have time for a full meal (usually breakfast or lunch) these bars fill you up. They take a little longer to eat because of their density, but that just tricks my mind into thinking I'm eating more! They are also a great protein boost after a workout. I'd recommend trying them, although they are a bit pricey. We usually buy them at Costco. -
This meal replacement drink is one of the better ones out there. The chocolate flavour masks the typical chalky taste of other similar beverages. When I am not well, it keeps me full until my next meal. I'd recommend giving it a try!

Duo Lingo is a great way to brush up on your languages. I would only recommend it for those who already have a foundation in a language, because it's really better for practice than from learning from scratch. Mind you, I did learn some rudimentary German; however, I would never be able to speak to a German person! -
