If you've never dealt with a twitchy bladder, I hope you don't ever. But if you do, this product work. It's for a problem called Acid Bladder, which is similar to re flux only in the sense as it's a problem caused by acid in your diet.
You can't buy these in Canada, but you can buy them online through eBay. The ingredient that is used is Calcium Glycerophosphate. What you do is take this product right before you eat, and with each meal, snack or beverage. You are supposed to take two each time. There is no maximum, according to their wording.
Let's just say if you are addicted to pop and are now suffering the repercussions of a long standing high acid diet, this will help to remove that acid from hitting your bladder. It only works well when used consistently.
This product has been considered useful for those also suffering from Interstitial Cystitis and Overactive Bladder.

I enjoyed this product from Vichy, much better than I did the serum. The consistency of the product is very light and I feel that it moisturizes well.
I do feel my my skin is smoother, so I attribute this effect to using this moisturizer rather than the serum that I also received from from the ChickAdvisor product review club. I very much like this product, but the scent is still too strong to me, but not because of the amount of scent. It's because it smells like roses. That smell was always headache inducing in me.
I would purchase this product again IF there was a different scent, something more fresh smelling rather than floral. The major reason for the reduced score is the scent.
However, I'm pretty sure I'm not their target demographic as I'm 36 and haven't felt quite yet that I'm in need of an anti-aging product. So maybe older women do prefer this rose scent, but I definitely do not. But who knows, maybe women my age do in fact start early on the anti-aging line.
I would like to try other products from Vichy, but this line because of the scent is not for me.
Again, thank you for the chance to try this product.

I'm having trouble determining how I feel about this product. In every way Vichy is a premium product but I haven't noticed anything special about this serum that I feel is anything better than just average.
I wanted to like this product, as this product does come with a premium price tag and to be fair there is nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't do anything amazing to really justify the price tag.
It's a beautifully designed product, it soaks in well on my skin. But it's supposed to improve my radiance and I just didn't see it. I am also not too fond of the smell, as it's a predominately scented like Rose. The smell isn't overbearing, but I do not in any way enjoy the scent. I'm happy when I can no longer smell it.

I purchased this online through Amazon.ca and years ago I remember trying a product at a trade show and kind of effect it had.
What this product does, is nothing like any other. When you rub it into your skin, it picks up all the oil and dead skin on the surface of your face. With that being said, it has a strong smell of alcohol. So since this product contains alcohol, yes it will also be drying. But if you happen to over produce oils, this product is so fun to use in a satisfying way.
When you apply it to your face the product gums up, so you end up with little lumps and beads of your dried up dead skin and facial oil. It's a great product to use to cleanse your face before the application of other product, such as serums and facial creams.
Some people think that this product is a gimmick, but it gums up more with more oil and less with less oil, so it does in fact strip your skin of oils and dirt and whatever is on your face, I mean it has alcohol in it.
I tried getting the product to gum up on a non oily surface and it doesn't, so yes, it works at least in my little non scientific experiment. Honestly, try it out for yourself. It leaves my face squeaky clean.
This is a Japanese product, so if you buy it in Canada you'll need it to be shipped with a Canadian label if you want to know the ingredients. I removed mine after I read it.

Just tried this tonight. I was beyond thrilled with this Arrabbiata sauce. Being that this sauce in some places get's up to $6.99 I was concerned that the product would not live up to the price.
Once I got the jar open, I dipped my finger in. The flavour was smokey from the roasted red pepper, acidic from the tomatos and spicy at the back of my throat. It wasn't overly spicy, but pleasantly spicy. I know spice level is a personal thing though.
I'm the kind of person who enjoys trying new things but a pasta sauce isn't something that usually gets me going, but this did. I enjoyed every bite of it. In some cases I add things to the sauce, but in this case it needed nothing.
The ingredients are simple, nothing scary, nothing strange.
For example, these are the ingredients:
Diced Tomatoes, Tomatoe Puree, Roasted Red Bell Peppers, Chili Peppers, Salt, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Citric Acid (an Acidulant), Spices.
They do not add preservatives or add any sugar.
I never even looked at the ingredients until after I consumed it. Considering all you need for a good meal is a bag of pasta and this sauce, it's decently inexpensive. I put on more sauce than I needed in this case. So this bottle is probably enough for 4 pasta servings (in terms of what fits in a bowl).
The sauce is decently chunky, but not overly so. The sauce lends itself better to a penne, or rotini than a spaghetti as you'll want a spoon to be able to enjoy the chunks of pasta sauce at the same time.

PC Dry-Rubbed Hardwood-Smoked Chicken Wings

These were easy to make. I baked them in the middle of the oven (although it says to put on bottom rack). I cooked them for exactly the amount of time recommended on the box (old electric oven).
They cooked up with dry skin and moist chicken inside. The maple barbecue sauce doesn't look like there is enough to coat the wings, but if you toss them in a mixing bowl and stir them with a spoon, it's just enough. I loved the taste & texture of these wings. The sauce was just sweet enough and the flavour of the sauce worked really well with the hardwood dry rubbed wings.
The box I had was mostly just flats and only 6 drumettes were in the box. I prefer the flat part of the wing over the drumette so that was good for me and I'm only mentioning it in case someone else really doesn't. It could have just been random that this box was like that though. I will have to see when I buy them again. I'm hoping the excessive flats continue though.
Flats (the part of the wing with two bones in it), drumette (part of wing that looks like a miniature drumstick).
I only wish the price was less, but at least I didn't feel like I wasted the money on this box.

Okay, I feel bad about sharing my review but I had to because I want to save others from eating this horrible frozen meal.
The packaging looked great, the images looked yummy and then I opened the package and as always with frozen meals you expect it not to look like the picture. Awesome food photography though!
The actual pulled pork, looked more like pork wet dog food. The pork was also was inconsistent in flavour and even kind of tasted rotten. I mean I'm not a connoisseur, because I actually eat frozen meals on the regular. The only redeeming quality was the sweet potatoes, but they also only tasted mediocre. I mean at least it tasted like sweet potato.
But the pulled pork did not even look like pulled pork. In fact it even looked like there was a whole lot less pulled pork and more sauce than anything else. The flavour although interesting was waaaay too mustardy.
There was a sweet tangy, but more like bbq with mustard mixed in it.
I looked to find out who the company was who make it, and it's Kraft? I mean really, usually they are better than that. It turns out there is a similar one in the US called Devour. I have not tried any other flavours and considering that I paid like 3.50 on sale for this product that looked super appetizing but honestly made me think of dog food. I'm actually afraid to try any others under the Crave line.

I can't quite say what the Shea smells like, because I'm smelled Shea and it doesn't smell like Shea butter to me. I find that this smells really good though.
I like this one preferably over the coconut as I'm not really a coconut fan. But like the lip cubes, these go on lightweight, and easy glide. With a left over tingling sensation. I feel they moisturize without drying my lips out.

I love the smell of coconut but I'm not a fan of the coconut flavour, thankfully the coconut flavour is not overwhelming. As a lip balm, it slides on easy, is lightweight and tingles after applying. It seems you get more lip balm in this size, so it might be more bank for your buck.

Like the other new softlips products this one is light, non-greasy, and tingly.
I personally am not a fan of peppermint, I do wish this was a spearmint flavour. I gave this flavour to my step-mom who enjoy's peppermint much better then me.
She enjoyed the feeling of the fresh minty flavour and the resulting tingly feeling after.
