These things saved my life when I got strep throat last year. I bought so many different "sore throat relief" products, it was a bit ridiculous - this was literally the only thing that helped. They are pretty gross in taste, especially if you don't like that 'fake cherry medicine' flavour, but they work so well, it's totally worth it. Usually my nose is too stuffed up to taste them anyway.
I definitely recommend these to absolutely anyone looking for a simple solution to a sore throat. They're fairy cheap, simple to use (don't even get me started on those stupid sprays!), and they work great!

I have very dry and damaged hair from bleaching, so this conditioner was honestly a godsend. I found a difference in my hair after only one use, but after finishing the full bottle, my hair is noticeably softer and smoother. I find using the full 3 part system works best, and the icing on the cake is a good blowdryer - my hair looks like I got it blown out at the salon.
I would definitely never compare this to 'normal' drugstore conditioners like Dove and Herbal essence, I've tried literally hundreds of brands over the years and nothing has compared to this. It doesn't leave a ridiculous build-up, it smells amazing but not overpowering, and it doesn't leave my hair dry and brittle.
I do agree that the price is a bit steep for the amount of product you actually get per bottle, but I've found a few high-value coupons, and match them with sales to get it for a much better deal.

Kellogg's Froot Loops
This is definitely one of the more 'junky' cereal in my house, but it's still a staple non-the-less. I've loved Fruit Loops since I was a young child, and even though the taste has changed over the years it's still something I always buy. It has way... +
This is definitely one of the more 'junky' cereal in my house, but it's still a staple non-the-less. I've loved Fruit Loops since I was a young child, and even though the taste has changed over the years it's still something I always buy. It has way more sugar than I'd like in any meal, and for that reason alone I use it as more of a treat than anything. -
Kellogg's Rice Krispies Cereal
Absolutely classic cereal, I don't know anyone who doesn't know and love rice krispies. They're so versatile, and can be used in baking. Nobody can turn down a rice krispy treat! A total staple in my house for sure!

Benefit Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Eyebrow Gel
I'm not really sure how I feel about this brow gel. I received a sample of it in the 'light' shade, and I almost think it's a bit too light for me. I've considered trying the 'medium' or a darker brown shade, but I'm not sold on the actual formula... +
I'm not really sure how I feel about this brow gel. I received a sample of it in the 'light' shade, and I almost think it's a bit too light for me. I've considered trying the 'medium' or a darker brown shade, but I'm not sold on the actual formula. My brows are fairly thick to begin with, so maybe I just don't need a volumizing gel. I'll use the rest of the sample but I think I'll go back to my regular brow powder/pencil routine. -
Temptations Cat Treats
My cat really loves these! They're not as 'healthy' as I'd really like, but they're cheap and he seems to really enjoy them. He goes nuts for the salmon flavoured ones!

Maynards Sour Patch Kids

My favourite candy since I was a child. I absolutely adore them! I don't think I will ever grow out of loving sour patch kids. Frankly I'm a little offended by the new addition of the "blue raspberry" flavour, I think they were fine without it but it's a nice change I suppose. -
Delectable - Everything Balm by Cake Beauty

I received a sample of this, and I'm absolutely obsessed. It claims to have 'over 21 innovative uses' but I'd beg to differ. It's definitely versatile, but some of their suggestions are a bit out there. I actually use it on my cuticles, it's perfect! You only need a tiny, tiny amount (like the size of a piece of rice) and it'll do all 10 nails. It's also really nice as a lip balm or treatment, it leaves my lips moisturized and silky. It smells wonderful. It's a little on the pricey side, but I'd definitely recommend using it as a cuticle balm, you totally get your money's worth and then some. -
TRESemmé® Fresh Start Volumizing Dry Shampoo

Like many others, this was the first dry shampoo I ever tried. I received a sample of it, and it put me off dry shampoo for a long time. I have very thin hair, so finding a dry shampoo that worked has been a struggle as it is, but this stuff is just not good. It left my hair sticky and limp, which is pretty much the exact opposite of what you want a dry shampoo to do. -
