These are not that great. They taste strongly vitamin-y and artificial. The best flavor, in my opinion, is the butter pecan - though you really have to drink it cold. The chocolate is awful. I really didn't like any of the flavors much and will instead be drinking a regular old homemade smoothie and taking a multivitamin. -
Olivieri Ravioli Spinach and cheese
I find these to be extremely overpriced. I have NEVER found them for less than $6/package - usually around $8. The pasta cooks well - consistent texture and not soggy. The filling is consistent also but a little bit bland. Too much spinach and not... +
I find these to be extremely overpriced. I have NEVER found them for less than $6/package - usually around $8. The pasta cooks well - consistent texture and not soggy. The filling is consistent also but a little bit bland. Too much spinach and not enough strong cheese taste in my opinion. I like Olivieri pasta but this specific flavor is not my favorite. -

This bath bomb smells like citrus (very orangey). It leaves your skin feeling SO silky smooth after soaking in it. But the best part by far of this yellow and orange bath bomb is the surprise pink centre. It was really something to watch it fizz! It left my bath water the most beautiful deep orange color. I really enjoyed every aspect of this bath bomb. I will definitely repurchase. Very indulgent! Smell was very strong and delicious! -
LUSH The Comforter Bubble Bar
I absolutely love this bubble bar!! I cut it into quarters and got 4 baths on it. The smell was a little on the weak side (the bar smells really candy/sweet delicious!) for my taste but that's my fault for being cheap and cutting the bar in 4. It... +
I absolutely love this bubble bar!! I cut it into quarters and got 4 baths on it. The smell was a little on the weak side (the bar smells really candy/sweet delicious!) for my taste but that's my fault for being cheap and cutting the bar in 4. It makes beautiful pink bubbles and leaves your skin soft and smelling delicious. It doesn't leave a yucky residue on your skin like some bubble bars. If you're looking for a splurge, give this a try. You really can't beat Lush in the bath department! If you haven't smelled this, you should - the smell is what keeps me coming back for more. -

I much prefer these mini-sized Cadbury crème eggs to the original sized larger ones. They have a bit less filling, which lets you enjoy more of the delicious creamy Cadbury milk chocolate with less sickeningly-sweet-fondant-crème-filling. They're a very satisfying way to squelch my sugar and my chocolate cravings all in one. They are a bit tricky to unwrap (they're covered in foil) when the filling spills out but otherwise no complaints in the packaging department. If you have a sweet tooth, give these a try. They're tasty! -
Kate Spade Day Planner

I absolutely adore this planner. It was a bit of a splurge (on sale for about $30) but worth every penny. The outside is hard like a binder, keeping everything inside safe. It has coils that are the perfect size to tuck my pen into for storage. Inside there is a layout of the entire month, and then the month broken down into days. It gives you a few months before the year starts. This planner also comes with places to tuck your papers into and pages for notes. Very handy, everything you could possibly need. Absolutely recommend this planner! -
Jif Creamy Peanut Butter

I don't often eat processed peanut butter (I prefer the natural stuff) but I decided to give this stuff a try when I saw it on sale.
I'm not a big fan! While it is very creamy, it is also a bit granular and way too sweet for my taste. I much prefer Kraft creamy peanut butter with regards to consistency and taste. If you like a very sweet peanut butter, you might really like Jif, but it wasn't for me.

Tetley Earl Grey Vanilla Specialty Tea
This product comes in a tube with a lid - 24 tea bags for about $4-$5. I love that I can snap the lid back on the tube and put these back in the cupboard - so much better than tea that comes in boxes! The flavor is good - the Earl Grey is strong and... +
This product comes in a tube with a lid - 24 tea bags for about $4-$5. I love that I can snap the lid back on the tube and put these back in the cupboard - so much better than tea that comes in boxes!
The flavor is good - the Earl Grey is strong and the vanilla is just the right amount. One of my favorite indulgences is to make a latte with this stuff - so, so good! This tea is a staple in my house. I always have it on hand. The price is reasonable and the tea is good. Highly recommend.

My grandma always used to buy these cookies for us as kids, and I continue to buy them now. They go perfectly with my afternoon tea. The oatmeal cookies are just the right amount of crunchy, and the peanut butter filling is smooth and sweet. These are a delicious pre-made cookie option, and considering I often find them at $1.99 per box, the price is right too! -

I purchased Preggie Pops lozenges online at well.ca - about $4.99 for 12 or $6.99 for 12 organic.
They are very sour and come in cherry, lemon, orange and lime flavors. I have been suffering terribly with nausea/morning sickness mostly in the afternoons and I find that if I suck on one of these, it greatly decreases my urge to vomit/gets rid of that super-salivating-mouth-feeling.
I would highly recommend giving these a try for any preggo mama looking for a natural alternative to combat morning sickness (the organic ones, that is!) I have a prescription for anti-nausea medicine but I REALLY don't want to take any pills/expose my baby to that, so I love this option. These are handy to keep in your pocket to pop into your mouth at work - nobody is any the wiser! Essential in the first trimester.
