We are always looking for some GF/organic snacks to keep around. Our go-to tortilla chip is usually Kirkland Que Pasa but these were on sale at Costco so we picked up a bag to try. The seedy texture reminds me of Neal Brother's tortilla chips which I like. These are also not super salty which is exactly how I like my chips. They pair well with hummus or salsa, though I often just grab a handful on their own. -
Glaceau Vitaminwater
I find these pretty expensive for what it is. I drink mostly Zero flavours and find them kind of weak. The lemonade is my favourite - I'm so happy I can now find that locally (only as of recently). I could give or take the others.

Jergens® BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream
I really enjoyed this! I received a sample and will purchase a full size bottle. I really like the scent and it made my skin at least feel great, though I wasn't sure if I noticed a visual difference. It was nice enough that it made me want to buy... +

Meh. I have used these before to help aid hangovers, but otherwise I'm not a fan of the taste - not even of the G2 with reduced calories and sugar. I would never use this as a "sports drink" - there are definitely other beverages out there to better aid in hydration, without sugar (or chemical sweeteners) that also help aid in muscle endurance and recovery. -

Perhaps the oil has been working as a preventative measure, because I haven't noticed any new ones...but maybe I wouldn't have any new ones anyway. I would consider using this again if I were to become pregnant to see if it would help.

This was a holiday 2014 item that I recently picked up for CDN$7.00 on clearance at Sephora. I bought this in Glittering Fuchsia and I really, really love the subtle colour and subtle glitter. It's something I can wear on the weekend and not feel super dressed up. It's also flavourless which is a nice change. I regret not purchasing this in both colours. -
Tim Hortons French Vanilla Cappuccino
Sugar, sugar, and coffee that I just can't seem to remember that I don't like. The price often entices me to try again but - nope.

I love this brand of products. Military and athlete approved.
Stimulant-free intra-workout supplement that comes in some interesting flavours (I tried blue raspberry and it wasn't bad). I only take on training days.
This intra-workout supplement is supposed to help with endurance and muscle recovery (while also being a delicious way to drink your H2O). Unlike my current intra-workout supplement, this has l-glutamine, an amino acid essential to immune system recovery - and stress from a workout, some day, can do a number on your immune system, making athletes more susceptible to illness without glutamine intake.
Meh. I am now on a intra-workout without glutamine so I'll see how that goes, since the formula is pretty much the same per serving of the Rivalus brand. I just wanted to change up the flavours and see if I could get different results. I like to support the Rivalus brand, so once I'm finished cycling through my current tub, I will likely purchase Steam again (which is less expensive per serving than the one I am currently using - WIN).

Something non-caffeinated I can take inter-workout to help hydrate and promote endurance and muscle recovery.
Some users have said this product makes them feel tingly (thats the beta alanine) but I haven't found that with this product.
I have only been using this for a short period of time, in conjunction with a pre-workout, post-workout recovery, and protein, and I have been sustaining muscle growth and my muscles don't nearly feel as tired or sore after training days.
As with other Cellucor products, this tastes fabulous in tropical punch - though it's kind of more like pineapple...

Mental focus at the gym for me is very important. So is flavour. Some pre-workouts taste medicinal, but C4 is absolutely known for their delicious flavours with my fav being pink lemonade.
I only take this on training days, about 30 minutes prior to hitting the gym. It helps me beyond words to get through cardio which is my struggle - I despise indoor cardio. This gives me the push and the focus I need to get through, and helps me get through wait training after that. Even when taken 3 hours before sleep, I find I use all of the energy this gives me so I don't lay awake at night (like I have experienced with other pre-workouts).
