First off, Body Clear Pink Grapefruit smells great. The citrus-y scent is refreshing and light.
Using this product I have found body breakouts significantly reduced. With a combination of Salicylic Acid and micro exfoliating beads in a gel-like body wash, Body Clear lathers nicely and doesn't dry out my skin like other acne products.
I like this product especially after a work out and in the summer when skin is on display.

Pure Invisible is a clear liquid-gel roll-on anti-perspirant that claims 'invisible protection, no white marks.'
I found it to live up to it's claim, as long as you have time to apply and let dry. Due to the consistency of the product, it goes on wet and requires some drying time before you put your clothes on over top. It is a little annoying to stand with arms akimbo waiting for your underarms to dry, but for certain tank and strapless tops, I find this is a good way to avoid unsightly white marks or worse those little balls of deodorant that can form from over application.
Not an everyday anti-perspiration, but great for special occasions.

The Alchemist is a quick read, mostly because once I started I couldn't put it down! The story itself is not the main attraction, but rather what the story makes you realize about your own life that is the real draw.
Inspirational, thought-provoking and entertaining. This story reads like a self-help book for those who are trying to find their way in life and are afraid to follow their dreams.

Tristan has many locations and I find the merchandise is not the same in every location. I agree that the price tags can be sometimes more than the item is worth, however, a good portion of the merch is Made in Canada as opposed to in sweat shops over seas which accounts for the many of the higher prices. Quality of fabric and quality of the final product are also big factors, and for a chain store with mass production the products are well made.
Shop the sale racks especially at the end of season sales and you will find great deals.

This stuff truly is amazing! It does everything, from sooth cracked lips, to help heal burns, to moisturize skin. It is an amazing product and Aussies' secret weapon for beauty. Aside from the beaches and gorgeous weather the one thing I miss most about no longer living is Australia is PawPaw.
If you ever get the chance you have to try this stuff it is worth every penny.
I love it as a lip balm!

Icy winter streets, and fashionable shoes don't always mix. This winter I bought a fabulous pair of leather boots at Aldo, but as per the norm, what was fashionable was also not practical for walking outdoors (the soles of the boots are completely smooth).
The sales clerk assured me that the Aldo Elrolice "self-adhesive outsole grip patches prolong the soles of your shoes and prevent you from slipping on wet, carpeted and icy surfaces." They are essentially a rough sandpaper sticker that you peel off and adhere to the soles of your shoes to give your shoes a better grip. You are meant to stick them on clean shoes and leave for 24 hours before use. I left them for over the recommend amount of time and all seemed well...until I went outside.
Water, snow and ice do not mix with the adhesive used. Within hours the patches were peeling off at the corners and by the end of the night one patch was completely off my boot.
Interesting idea, not worth the few bucks it costs to buy them. Cheaper and easier to scuff the soles myself to create grip.

Mitsouko EDP by Guerlain is my new to die for scent! Many modern perfumes focus on the overtly sweet and floral smells with little or no staying power. Mitsouko is just the opposite. This is not the perfume that will make you smell like the teenager at the mall.
The sexy, powerful and elegant fragrance of Mitsouko is dark, deep and peppery. It's a unique and delicious perfume that offers Bergamot, Rose, Peach, Jasmin, Oakmoss and Spicy, Woody notes.
As perfumes smell differently on everyone it might not be the scent for you, but if you enjoy exotic, spicy and elegant scents I highly recommend giving it a try.

TRESemme Fresh Start is a fast and cheap way to hide your stringy, greasy strands ASAP. Dry shampoo is NOT a substitute for washing your hair, but in a pinch when your roots are too greasy to go unnoticed and you don't have the time or resources to wash, dry and style your hair, this product will do the trick.
Admittedly, it is a product that you have to use a few times before you get the hang of and it has an 'old-lady perfume' smell when you first spray it, but the smell does go away after a few minutes. The dry shampoo comes out as a white powdery substance that you let it sit a couple minutes and then brush out. If your hair is dark like mine, it may look a little dull afterwards, which is why the company suggests following up with their Refreshing Mist.
For the price, the speed of use and the portability of the product, I think its a great option. I have also never had a problem with the TRESemme spray bottle clogging, unlike with the more expensive brands like Ojion.
