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 would use this for special celebrations/occasions like Christmas and New Year's Eve. -
Tazo Organic Chai Black Tea
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!

GT's Synergy pink lady basil kombucha
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... +

GT's Kombucha Gingerade
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... +
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 brand often on sale where I like to shop! -
Vichy Liftactiv UV Cream
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 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 face. Pleasant fragrance. -
Vichy Liftactiv Retinol HA Advanced Concentrate
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... +
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 particularly like the improved appearance of my throat and neck. -

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 overall texture, which I find too coarse to comfortably chew. My husband didn't find this to be a problem for him, so it's a personal preference of mine. I would buy it for my family, though. -
PowerBar Plant Protein Cashew, Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate
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... +

Premier Protein Vanilla Shake
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.
