For years, I've used a scoopable clay litter. I scoop daily, & wash the box at the beginning of each month, to cut down on dust & odor buildup...
I recently received a coupon for a complimentary 7lb box of Arm & Hammer HardBall LightWeight litter (usually ~$25+tx) & was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get it home by public transit. The box has a convenient strap built into it, making it very easy to carry. Unfortunately, that's about where the pros stop. No matter how much I wanted to like this litter, on nearly all counts other than the weight, it absolutely did not match up.
I made the switch just over a week ago, when I did my monthly litter box cleanout. The entire box of litter barely fills the bottom of our standard sized litter box, leaving less each time clumped litter is removed & I worry that I'll have to top up long before month end. The litter clumps as expected, though if your cat tends to pee in the corners of the litter box, you may find that the clumped will meld itself to the side of the box, leaving a sticky spot when you pop it off while scooping. The litter is heavily scented, a thing that neither my cat nor I appreciate. Worse still, it is a fine sand consistency, meaning that static is a serious concern & it tracks *everywhere*. Our robovac is losing the daily battle to keep the grit under control & we've had to start shaking our sheets out each night before bed.
In all, though the 7lb box size is extremely convenient, it is both significantly more expensive & comes with such a list of additional disadvantages that I cannot in good conscience recommend this product.

For a product with "only 1g of sugar, & no artificial sweeteners," this Zambia Bing Cherry beverage nonetheless noticeably tastes of sweetener. I usually really enjoy cherry flavoured foods & drinks, but even when I added water to dilute this drink by 50%, it was still too "sweet," & had what I would describe as a slightly chalky aftertaste that really didn't work for me.
I am unlikely to purchase this again (though... I may still try the coconut version, if I happen to see it on sale).

I received the Orange Naturals collagen skin revive package today & mixed up my first glass to have w/ dinner. At first, I was a bit worried that I'd used too small of a glass, because it didn't all dissolve right away, but after a minute or two, the powder had completely disappeared, as if it'd never been added. Even better, it didn't change the taste, or viscosity of my water, which was another relief. Today is, of course, only my first day, so I don't have anything to show, but I fully intend to come back & review again, once I've got some results to share! -

Our sample arrived somewhat crushed, so we had to be a bit inventive about getting the hazelnut spread off the included coupon, & onto our toast. Once that was managed though, we were in flavour central. Just as good as a similar, though perhaps better known product (if not better), it comes with the added benefit of being made with sunflower oil, in lieu of palm oil (palm oil has higher saturated fats and vitamin K whereas sunflower oil is higher in unsaturated fats and vitamin E).
We are excited to try both the crunchy (we're a Kraft crunchy peanut butter household, so I'm betting we're gonna love Kraft crunchy hazelnut spread), & the reduced sugar version (I'm kinda hoping for a bit of a "dark chocolate" vibe).
Thanks for the tasty opportunity!

We whipped up a batch, froze it, brought it up to the cottage for a big family meal, & all twelve servings disappeared right quick. Yes, it's got some zing to it, but if you've ever eaten Ethiopian food before, that's rather to be expected! We offered plain white rice, for those who found it a bit overpowering.

My favourite snack is a hotdog bun w/ peanut butter on half & Nutella on the other, wrapped around half a banana. So tasty!

I got a wee little 12mL sample bottle way back when, & have been carrying it around in my purse ever since. I top it up every few weeks from the big bottle that I bought after trying it. I've never used it on my cheeks, but it adds just exactly the right amount of rouge to my lips that I can use my Blistex instead of having to worry about lipstick. Better yet? It doesn't leave stains on my teacups the way lipstick does! -

I used to love my Blistex Lip Medex pot, but it meant washing my hands everytime I wanted to put on some lip balm, & that wasn't always convenient. When I discovered that Blistex has *finally* come out w/ it in a stick format, I immediately bought a multipack. They're not cheap, but they're worth it! -

These are the best things in the world.
Not only are they convenient to use, but they're reusable (despite the company advertising them as disposable). I usually get 6-9 cylces out of each cup before I start worrying that it's going to break. At that rate, the box of 24 that I bought over three years ago should last me well into menopause.
