The Body Shop Body Butter
Like almost every other BS product - this is amazing. Moringa is my favourite scent (says the 80 year old grandmother in me - it smells exactly like my Gram did). I have a tub of this at work, 2 tubs of various scents at home. It is so nourishing... +
Like almost every other BS product - this is amazing. Moringa is my favourite scent (says the 80 year old grandmother in me - it smells exactly like my Gram did). I have a tub of this at work, 2 tubs of various scents at home. It is so nourishing, and the scents are true, and I just absolutely love them. -

I love everything that the Body Shop stands for. I picked up this shower gel scent recently when it was on sale (you can always get these on sale!) and I was really impressed with the raspberry scent (like most other BS scents - love). I love that you really don't need to use much at all to get a foaming soap, so the bottle lasts a long time. It also leaves me feeling clean! -
Tatamagouche Butter
Butter is expensive. But this is something well-worth the money. For the most part I will say I am dairy-free with he exception of butter - because for the most part, butter is more "natural" than most of the vegan margarines I have... +
Butter is expensive. But this is something well-worth the money. For the most part I will say I am dairy-free with he exception of butter - because for the most part, butter is more "natural" than most of the vegan margarines I have found.
Tatamagouche is a town that I hold close to my heart, and this is a company I don't mind purchasing from.

Tropicana Trop50 Orange Juice

When I don't have time to juice my own oranges, this is my go-to drink. I never drink it straight, but will mix it with vanilla protein powder for an incredible creamsicle protein shake. I like the Trop50 because there is 50% less sugar than regular bottled orange juice - when I get home from the gym and just want a "healthy" protein shake, I don't want an overly sugary drink. Also, no artificial sweeteners and you still get the dose of vitamins! It is expensive (why pay for orange juice when you can make your own?) but I find I can often find it on sale. -
Stokes French Press
My boyfriend has been after me for months to try french-pressed coffee. Before spending an arm and a leg on something I wasn't sure I needed, we found this on sale at Stokes for $9.99. We were up early the next day, with my bf so excited to show me... +
My boyfriend has been after me for months to try french-pressed coffee. Before spending an arm and a leg on something I wasn't sure I needed, we found this on sale at Stokes for $9.99. We were up early the next day, with my bf so excited to show me this new world of coffee. We added the ground coffee, boiled our water, and let the press do it's job.
All I can say is - I will be making time to make coffee this way every morning. For $9.99 you get a glass carafe with a rubber bottom. And I think it is more than well-worth the price for the taste of my coffee.

Starbucks Marshmallow Dream Bar
I am trying to see if there is a discernible difference between the old marshmallow dream bar and the new on on the La Boulange menu...I don't often purchase treats from Starbucks but this is my favourite to get. Classic, marshmallow-y and soft... +
I am trying to see if there is a discernible difference between the old marshmallow dream bar and the new on on the La Boulange menu...I don't often purchase treats from Starbucks but this is my favourite to get. Classic, marshmallow-y and soft. Kind of overly sweet, but I guess what else do you expect? The new bars on the updated menu now come in a plastic wrapper and I'm unsure of their freshness. They don't seem as tasty as the previous ones. -
Starbucks Flourless Chewy Chocolate Cookie
This flourless (and GF) cookie is on the new "La Boulange" menu at Starbucks. My only complaint is that you have to purchase a 2-pack (for $5!!) rather than having he option of buying just 1. The texture is just what I like in a flourless cookie -... +
This flourless (and GF) cookie is on the new "La Boulange" menu at Starbucks. My only complaint is that you have to purchase a 2-pack (for $5!!) rather than having he option of buying just 1. The texture is just what I like in a flourless cookie - fudgey. It isn't something I would purchase often, but it's a nice treat for the bf and I to share. -
Kirkland Quinoa Salad
For $9.99 at my local Costco, this is a great, quick meal for when we don't have time to cook. This usually makes about 4 decent-sized servings, so it doubles as a dinner one night and lunch the next day. There is plenty of protein in this salad, so... +
For $9.99 at my local Costco, this is a great, quick meal for when we don't have time to cook. This usually makes about 4 decent-sized servings, so it doubles as a dinner one night and lunch the next day. There is plenty of protein in this salad, so it's nice and filling. It's definitely something I try to emulate at home when I have the time ;) -
Marc Anthony Repairing Macadamia Oil Sulfate Free Shampoo

I went in to my local drugstore just looking for some decent shampoo to take on a trip with me - not looking to spend a pretty penny, and found this shampoo almost 60% off the regular price. The macadamia oil is supposed to be nourishing and help correct dry, damaged hair (like mine). And it's sulfate-free to boot, great for my colour-treated hair.
The scent is nice and light, and though I have only been using for a few days I do find the texture of my hair to at look and feel slightly less dry. I will likely buy this again though.

Peeps Marshmallows
A staple at Easter. To me, there is nothing better than a marshmallow treat covered in sugar. I recently tried the party cake flavour which was pretty darn good! Not everyone loves the texture, but I think it is just so great.
