I love Excel gum (particularly the Avalanche flavor) but this one is a flop for me. It is strongly minty, but also strongly sweet. It is a strange combination for me that isn't refreshing enough for what I expect of my mint gum. I wouldn't buy this again, nor would I recommend.
The gum itself chews well and stays soft(ish) for hours. Good quality - just a flavor flop.

I grew up eating these freezies. The little ones are good - but the Jumbo Mr. Freeze are the best. The flavors are good - the white and blue are my favorite, and the red are pretty good too. I usually buy a box of these at Costco at the beginning of the summer to throw in the deep freeze, and by the end of the summer I just have a bunch of orange and purple freezies at the bottom of the deep freeze that usually get thrown out. The plastic can be a little hard on little mouths (I remember cutting the sides of my mouth on these freezies as a child) but these are a really cheap flavorful summer treat - less messy than popsicles! -

This is the original Pumpkin Spice Latte - I have been enjoying these every fall for years. In university we used to grab these to keep ourselves caffeinated during finals. Now, I treat myself (rarely- these are calorie bombs!) once or twice every fall.
The pumpkin spice flavor is on point. I get mine with 2% milk which means they are rich and creamy. They are the perfect amount of sweet (though I have many friends that find them too sweet - I am a real sweet tooth!)
If you like pumpkin spice, like coffee, and like lattes - you won't be disappointed with this one. A fall classic that I look forward to every single year. They are crazy expensive (around $6) so you couldn't drink them every day but they do make a wonderful fall Saturday morning treat.

This is one of my favorite scrubs...ever! I've been using it for well over a decade. I have hormonal acne, and twice a month I break out. This scrub really helps with the breakouts. It leaves my skin feeling less oily and so clean. I love the tingly feeling of this scrub. It is a bit drying, so if you have dry skin this isn't for you. But if you, like me, struggle with acne this product is a must-have! I have a bottle on hand at all times. I usually buy mine when it goes on sale at Shoppers for $5.99. Great price! The bottle lasts quite a while! -

This was the face cleanser I used as a teenager. My mom would always buy the 2-pack at Costco and give my sister and I each a bottle. My skin was dry and sensitive, and this cleanser irritated it a bit. It made my skin tingle and feel tight, and it didn't quite all rinse off - it always left my face feeling like there was a film left on it. This wasn't the right product for me. My sister has oily skin and this product worked really well for her - cleansed her skin and helped lessen breakouts. She said she really liked the tingly feeling of washing with it - very refreshing. Both of us found that a lotion was required after using this wash. This product is a good price - under $9/bottle - and it lasts many, many washes! It seems to be sold everywhere - Shoppers, Walmart, Rexall...
Bottom line: I recommend this for oily skin but not for dry (makes sense - it's an acne cleanser!)

I buy these sheets at Dollarama all the time for $1/box. The smell is fantastic - very warm, soothing and vanilla-y. The smell lingers after your pull the clothes out of the dryer, which is nice. These sheets are very effective in removing the static from my laundry, but I find that my clothes aren't left as soft as when I use a Bounce dryer sheet. Overall, though, a good buy - love love love the scent. Unfortunately, I can only do my own laundry with these sheets as my husband has very sensitive skin and these sheets irritate him. -

I received this top coat from ChickAdvisor Premium as part of my membership. I am SO GLAD that I didn't pay for it...it's terrible! It brushed on nicely (nice, quality brush) and dried very quickly. That's all that I can say about this polish that is positive. I applied one coat on one hand and two coats on the other to see how it would hold up (no nail polish underneath). The polish looked very shiny. I painted my nails at night and then went to bed. When I woke up in the morning, they looked perfect still. By the time I had showered, put on my makeup, done the dishes, walked the dog and headed to work - the hand that had two coats of polish on it had almost completely come off - it was peeling off in strips! The hand with one coat was peeling also, but not as dramatically. The entire top half of all of my nails peeled off of both hands within 24 hours, leaving the nail beds shiny and the tops exposed. This is a super cheap, terrible quality top coat. The worst I have EVER used. Stick with $4 drug store Sally Hansen top coat - it is SO much better than this one! What a terrible product! I can't believe they advertise this product as weekly - it didn't even last 24 hours. I would NEVER purchase this product. -

If you're anything like me, you're going to skim over this item at the grocery store thinking "All Bran! Yuck!" but DON'T! I read the label and decided to give it a try (so much fiber!). I was blown away! the strawberry center is delicious - a flavorful strawberry jam taste and pleasant consistency. The all bran cereal pillow gets nice and soft when you eat it with milk - this stuff is soooo good! Love it! -

Quaker Harvest Crunch Cereal Original
This granola is extra sweet and I really enjoy that. It is crunchy and delicious - I like to eat it with milk, though I sometimes eat it in yogurt. I don't know that it's a healthy cereal (lots of sugar!) but it sure is delicious.
