I was very excited to receive this product to review two weeks ago, and have replaced my normal night routine with this, and the Vichy Idealia Life Serum.
The first week, I used the Skin Sleep without the Life Serum. A few first impressions: the smell, though not strong, is definitely noticeable. I found it quite pleasant, and didn't have a problem with it. The Skin Sleep is very viscous, and a little goes a long way. I found that I used around 1/6 of what I would have used for a face cream. It glides on smoothly, and mostly absorbs, although it leaves a sticky residue that will last as you go to bed.
After the first night, I noticed that when I woke up, my skin felt soft and moisturized. I didn't notice drastic results, but the balm had fully absorbed and my face was no longer sticky. After a week of usage, I noticed that my undereye area had lightened considerably, and that my skin tone had somewhat evened out, both of which I was quite pleased with!
The second week, I used the Idealia Skin Sleep in conjunction with the Idealia Life Serum. The serum is very pretty to look at, and had the same scent as the night repair balm. Again, a little goes a long way; one pump was enough to cover my face. With continued use, I noticed that my skin has tightened, and my pores are less visible. My skin tone continued to even out, and my undereye circles lightened further, although they are still somewhat puffy.
Overall, I enjoyed this product!

I've been buying DQ cakes for parties and birthdays for a long time, and I have to say I'm becoming increasingly disappointed in their classic cake (chocolate bottom, cookies/fudge layer, vanilla on top). It use to be a pretty even split between the chocolate and vanilla,with just a bit more vanilla to cover the outside of the cake. However, the last three or four I've gotten have only had a hockey puck size worth of chocolate ice cream, and the rest was vanilla. That means that the vanilla to chocolate ratio was 3:1, which is pretty silly. -

Euphoria is one of those cozy little cafes that is hip and indie. The owner is awesome, and all their gluten-free baking is down at his girlfriends house, which is entirely gluten-free. My favorite drink is the Dublin Fog, and they serve amazing made-to-order (non-gf) waffles, as well as Fiasco Gelato. A++! -

This product is moisturizing for a lip color. I like the tingly minty feel on my lips after I apply it. It does smell a little 'lipstick-y'. I have this product in Papaya and Cherry. I got the Papaya first, and was impressed by the pigment so I went and bought another. However, I find the Cherry is less pigmented on me. Still not bad products. -

i really love the versatility of this product. You can apparently use it as shadow, lipstick, and blush. I haven't used it as shadow yet (I'm just not a fan of red or pink lids), but it blends beautifully as a blush (it builds well), and is super moisturizing on my lips. It doesn't pass the food or kiss test very well though, so I recommend being aware of that. -

Trader Joe's Pineapple Chunks
These deliciously sweet pineapple chunks are just like candy, I swear. They are heavy on the pineapple flavor, and at only 140 calories for a 1/3 cup serving and a toonie a bag, can definitely satisfy any sweet cravings you might have!

Trader Joe's Yogurt Dipped Raisins
These yogurt dipped raisins are a bit on the sweet side for my tastes, but they sure are tasty! They're especially great if you're making up a holiday mix; these, with some sweet dried cherries and some dark chocolate bits are a great combination.

I have a fairly severe topical reaction to mosquito bites; they can swell to the size of a baby's fist and impede movement in my joints. I have tried many different bug bite creams and topical allergy creams, and I find that Benadryl works the best; I use it in conjunction with oral antihistamines. Although the area still itches after applying the cream, I notice that if I get to it fast enough, there is little to no swelling. When I end up applying it to a swollen area, the swelling goes down within 18-24 hours (as opposed to 3-5 days). I highly recommend this product! -

This is, hands down, my favorite hand cream. I have been using Glysomed for many years, and I've tried other hand creams too, but I always come back to this one. I find it is the most effective, it absorbs quickly, and it leaves my hands feeling soft. As someone who washes her hands multiple times a day, I really need a handcream that moisturizes very wel! -
