These enter our home only once per year after a trip to Europe. I have yet to find them at any local grocery stores, so I'm not sure how available they are in Canada. The flavour is incredible. So unique and yummy. They taste just like paprika.
These are a bit of a "naughty" snack for us and I am kind of happy they are not available locally because we try not to have foods like this in the house. It is a nice once-a-year treat. I have noticed they have "wheat starch" on the ingredient list and I'm not sure yet how I feel about that. I know it can be used to remove gluten in GF foods, but my partner (with a recent wheat allergy) was wary about consuming, meaning more Pringles for me ;)

Lundberg Organic Brown Rice Cakes
Certified organic, non-GMO, gluten free brown rice cakes. I always buy these in lightly salted or seaweed flavour for a mid-afternoon snack at work. I only wish local grocers carried a larger variety of flavours!

Like other Philosophy firming body emulsions, I love the scents but am not sure of their "firming" effectiveness because I do not use them routinely. Falling in Love is tied for my #1 fav scent (with Amazing Grace). This has a blackberry-jasmine-vanilla scent combination which is absolutely romantic. I save this one for special occasions :) -

I can't believe there aren't more reviews for this. I first receive a trial package of this kit and, if it weren't in such a high price point I would likely have it on hand more often.
This does an EXCELLENT job at getting rid of dry skin. This is 2 parts:
1. vitamin C/Peptide Resurfacing Crystals
2. lactic/Salicylic Activating Gel
You apply the exfoliating crystals (which smell citrusy like vitamin c) then add the activating gel on top.
I absolutely think this product helps resurface the skin, because you can see and feel a difference after multiple uses. I would only use this 1 time a week (or less) because I have sensitive skin. I would purchase it even more often it was a little more budget friendly ;)

I have so many bottles of Philosophy body emulsions in a ton of scents, and this is a tie for favourite (up there with Falling in Love).
I don't know so much if it will "firm" my skin but I don't think I use it often enough to really test that out - considering the steep price per bottle. I definitely use these sparingly for special occasions because I would absolutely hate to run out. The texture is great, super moisturizing, and again, the scent is absolutely fabulous.

I generally will replace this with a thicker moisturizer in the winter (like When Hope is Not Enough) because this cream works great on my skin in the hot, humid weather because it is whipped and airy and very light. In the winter it doesn't provide nearly enough moisture or protection to my skin.
The price is a bit of a negative so I generally only purchase if I am lucky enough to have a Sephora gift card :) It is definitely one of my favourite moisturizers.

There is a local cafe that I go to where I often opt for GF bread (as moral support for my GF bf) and they have this incredible bread that wasn't dry like so many others I have tried (at restaurants).
We had been purchasing various frozen breads at our local grocer until we saw this brand of bread show up fresh at our local Costco - $9.99 for 2 loaves, yes please! GF bread is expensive!
Lo and behold, it's the same bread from our local cafe. It has a delicious brown bread-esque flavour and is full of seeds. It also has a great moist texture (not dry) and toasts well. Love this!

My partner is GF so over the past year or so we have had our ups and downs trying new GF products.
I'm not GF personally but I definitely prefer these English muffins over any others. They are light, buttery, toast well. They are a little expensive so I tend to usually save them all for my bf - but seriously, they are so incredible! We use them for homemade fried egg sandwiches or just slather them in pb & j.

The price was also fantastic - when you could get them at Costco. I bought 2-3 bags last year and haven't seen them there in months. Since we now have to pay an arm and a leg for them at our local grocer we don't buy them nearly as often.
