This tonic water has a very good flavour, nice level of sweetness and carbonation. Definitely a treat to have a tonic water made with cane sugar! Full price at the grocery store unfortunately is a bit steep compared to non-premium tonic water, so...   +

This has a good balance of spices, without too much clove. It's a good substitute for when you can't prepare a batch of the chai spices from scratch. Organic is definitely a plus too!

An unexpected combination of flavours -- pink lady apple and basil -- makes this a refreshing alternative to rose wine, with the added benefits of it actually being kombucha. Something I would be happy to serve to dinner guests. I will definitely...   +

Compared to other brands, this ginger infused kombucha is the best. I would compare it to the difference between unfiltered sweet apple cider and filtered apple juice for a more complex flavour and a bigger punch of ginger. Happily, it's also a...   +

I tried this in combination with the Liftactiv retinol serum. It was nice and gentle (no reaction) on my skin, but felt a bit heavy compared to my usual face cream. For Summer use SPF 15 protection is a bit low, and I would normally use SPF 30 on my...   +

I never tried a retinol product before, but am convinced by Liftactiv how effective it is after quite a short time of using it (less than the 8 weeks recommended on the package); some deeper wrinkles have filled in, not just fine lines. I...   +

This is my second favourite of the three flavours available. Peanuts and chocolate together are always a winner. The pumpkin seeds don't add much flavour though have a nice contrasting texture to the peanuts. The drawback of this product is the...   +

This is less distinctive in flavour than the almond version. The cashew flavour doesn't come through as well and may be a bit overshadowed by the chocolate. The drawback of this product is the texture, which I find too coarse to comfortably chew. My...   +

This is my favourite of the three. Although it's not mentioned as an ingredient, there's a distinct flavour and scent of maple, which I happen to like. The only drawback is the texture, which I find too coarse to comfortably chew. My husband didn't...   +

I definitely wouldn't buy this since it's too sweet. The vanilla flavour was pleasant; but for the amount of sugar otherwise I might consider trying it again.
