These bagels stayed pretty fresh for the whole week that they sat on my counter. They have a great chew to them. They feel more dense, heartier than most other bagels I have purchased. These bagels held a LOT of peanut butter and made a fantastic sandwich also. They cost a little more than the store brand, but I do think they are a superior product. Very tasty, and satisfying! -

I have chin length straight, fine hair. I purchased this all in one hair dryer brush to try and give my hair some volume.
It is quite large! I am petite person (5'1") and my small hands struggled to hold this big device. It isn't heavy, but it is awkward, and it causes me wrist pain and fatigue when I use it.
This product does not work on WET hair, only DAMP hair (says so right in the instructions) so you must either towel dry, or in my case dry it partially with a regular blow dryer before drying.
It does leave my hair looking more voluminous, but it takes quite a while to use compared to just blow drying. I am able to skip the run over with the straightener though, which I like. I think it must cause a bit of damage to my hair though as my hair feels coarser since starting to use this product.
The device doesn't get too hot and I have yet to burn my scalp. I dont use this device every time I dry my hair, only when I have time.
The biggest downside of this device (and the reason I would not purchase again or recommend) is the sound level. You have to hold this fairly close up your ears while using it and it is SO LOUD. Leaves my ears ringing and my head sore every single time I use it, whereas my trusty regular blow dryer does not.

Peace tea peach

I tried this product because I like peaches, I like iced tea, and I liked the price (75 cents for the 695 mL can!) The can is also really pretty, bright orange, and caught my attention.
This iced tea is VERY sweet. It is also a very strong (but very yummy!) peach flavor.
The can has 40 grams of sugar, which is really high. I could only consume this beverage frozen, with a spoon, like a slurpee. To drink without freezing first would be like drinking syrup. Very, very sweet. I won't buy it again.

Peace Tea Sweet Lemon
I tried this product because I like lemon iced tea a lot. The super bright, fun can caught my eye and I decided that 75 cents for a 695 mL can was too good to pass up. This iced tea is VERY sweet. It is also a very strong (but very yummy!) lemon... +

This iced tea is VERY sweet. It is also a very strong (but very yummy!) lemon flavor.
I like this iced tea served ice cold (or slushy!) and find it very refreshing on a hot day after mowing the lawn. I will buy it again - the lemon flavor is good (not artificial) and so is the tea taste. Can't go wrong with that price - but I'll have to be careful not to let myself drink too much of this stuff as it is 40 grams of sugar per can!

These iced teas are a great deal! No Frills regularly sells them for 75 cents each. For 695 mL of beverage - that's extremely cheap. Better yet? They taste amazing! The raspberry flavor is very strong and not artificial. They contain no artificial colors (bonus!) or preservatives.
The entire can is 150 calories. I love to throw the can in the freezer and pull it out once it's slushy - such a delicious treat! The downside? There's 40ish grams of sugar in this bad boy, which means it is just an occasional indulgence! They are VERY sweet tasting.
The outside of this product is almost as good as the inside - the bright red can is appealing to the eye - especially with the cartoony artwork on the front. I kind of want to buy one of every color (flavor) and line them up in a big tea rainbow in my fridge.

I purchased these at Shoppers Drug Mart for myself and my sister - they were 2 for $8.
I did the otter mask (I think it was calming?) and she did the panda mask (moisturizing?)
The masks had a very strong chemical scent. They were very large, way too big for either of our faces but I guess that means our necks got some of the benefits too? They were fun to put on - the otter mask reminded us both a little bit of "Nacho Libre" - but we laughed for the full 20 minutes that we wore them. Both of us felt like our skin was softer, plumper, and more hydrated after. They were also cool on the skin while we wore them (very refreshing in summer!)
These weren't the highest quality face masks that I have ever used, but they were fun. I will buy them again if I find them on sale.

I love the packaging - recycled! I love that the product is cruelty free, free of silicon, and easy-rinse to save water. I found the smell to be a bit too floral for my liking, but I did love the way this product made my hair feel. It feels so silky and smooth after using this conditioner. I bleach my hair and this leaves my strands feeling soft and smooth. I would buy again!

Halo Top Caramel Macchiato
This is probably my least favorite Halo Top flavor. It is only slightly coffee flavored and very artificially sweet. There are almost no detectable chips at all. Skip this one - go for the Candy Bar flavor instead!

This is my second favorite Halo Top flavor. The mint flavor is pretty good, and lacks the artificial sweetness of many of Halo Top's other flavors. I wish that there were more "chocolate" chips, but at 240 calories per pint, I guess you can't have it all. It costs about $7 per pint, and I find that to be pretty ridiculous when Ben & Jerry's and Haagen Dasz cost the same. -

I usually buy Halo Top for $7 a pint at my local Coop grocery store. At ~300 calories/pint, this ice cream is a low cal treat for those of us that watch our intake. I find $7 to be pretty steep for what it is, though.
I found this flavor really disappointing. The flavor of the ice cream is very vanilla (plain, don't taste any cake) and the sprinkles are too sparse and artificially sweet. I only bought this flavor once, and I will not buy it again.
I much prefer Halo Top's Candy Bar and Mint Chocolate Chip flavors to this one. It really just tastes like vanilla to me.
