I have always loved bran muffins and usually bake or buy them when paired with a fruit, like Blueberry bran or Cranberry bran. I somehow have never tried Banana Bran, but since I love bananas I was pretty sure I'd like this - and I did! Really moist, convenient single-serving packaging, and no artificial colours or flavours. I'm inspired to bake this flavour myself when I have time, but when I don't, I would absolutely buy these again! -

I picked these up recently along with the Cranberry Orange bars because I'm a huge walnut lover. Normally I prefer my baking to have the zing of a citrusy fruit as well and would have loved to have that here, but these were still quite yummy and I was very satisfied. They are also individually packaged which is SO great for throwing one in my purse. Would be great if these were guaranteed nut-free for school lunches because I think they are much better quality than the stuff you get in the granola bar aisle, but then you take all of the nutty goodies out of there... I think I slightly prefer the cran orange bars over these ones but would certainly consider buying these again. -

When I first saw "cranberry orange" on the box, I immediately grabbed it off the shelf without another thought. It was only later at home when I was reading the ingredient list and saw that these are made without artificial colours and flavours that I was even happier about my impulse buy! These are pretty tasty, exactly what I was hoping for. I like to have lots of flax in my diet and what an easy way to do it. I would definitely buy these again. -

These muffins were tasty and of course I'm a fan of the ingredients which do NOT include artificial flavours or colours, but what really made my day was the convenience of the individual packaging. Such a time saver for getting ready for work in the morning! Just grab a muffin and go - perfect! -

I received these free from ChickAdvisor. For the most part, I have always found pre-packaged chocolate cookies to be more or less interchangeable. Some differences in flavour of course, and some come in chewy while others are crispy.
What sets this Voortman cookie apart is that it actually tastes home baked to me. When I bake oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, mine are softer and chewy but otherwise the taste is exactly the same. I like that they use "real ingredients" and I feel good about offering these to my family! I have always thought that Chips Ahoy tasted a little off to me but I just assumed it was because they weren't fresh baked. Now I realize it might be that the ingredients in Voortman are just better and that's why I prefer Voortman now.
Not everyone will prefer the crunchy texture - it would be neat if Voortman could do this exact same cookie in a chewy version - but it's great to dunk in milk, tea, or coffee! Nothing will ever replace the fresh-from-the-oven taste of home baked cookies, but wow - these come close :)

I received these free from ChickAdvisor. I normally bounce around between cookie brands, and I was curious to see if these store cookies would really taste that much better than the other ones.
Holy moly, they were SO much better! I was so very pleasantly surprised! These vanilla wafers had such a fresh taste with the perfect intensity of flavour. I have had many a vanilla wafer in the past and they don't even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Voortman Bakery. This skeptic is totally won over, and my family (after devouring the ENTIRE PACKAGE in one sitting) has already put this on the grocery list for this weekend. (Seriously, we have a whiteboard in my kitchen for grocery requests and it's at the top and underlined with coloured dry erase marker)
Really really impressed with these Voortman wafers and I will absolutely buy them again.

I thought this lotion was just okay. Nothing that really stood out for me. It did its job but was it better than the lotion I usually buy? Not really. I had picked it up because I found it on sale but I don't know if I'll buy it again. I'll probably use it up though since there's nothing bad about it. Just not my favourite. -

Definitely a decent wipe, not my absolute favourite but it got all my makeup off plus the usual grime of the day. It felt pretty refreshing and not dried out afterward although I always wear moisturizer anyway. For the price, it's definitely an option to consider. -

I thought this was a decent moisturizer, but since I'm over 30 I'm looking for a little more oomph. Maybe I'm just mourning my 20s skin but I always have this hope that an early signs of aging moisturizer will turn back the hands of time.
Don't get me wrong, for the price point this product is pretty good. I thought it absorbed well and feels nice on the skin. Just not enough of a difference on my fine lines though.

TRESemmé® Beauty-Full Volume Flexible Finish Hairspray

Volume? CHECK. Flexible? CHECK. And yes, it holds the style! I don't like to coat my hair in too much spray anyway because nobody likes that helmet look. This is a great, light hold that does what it promises. Not sure if it'd work for a fancy updo but certainly a good everyday product. -
