Besides the scent (my asthma makes me very sensitive and thus, this may not actually bother other users), this is actually a pretty good hairspray at a affordable cost! Super effective and is released as a very lightweight, non-sticky mist. Does a fairly good job holding my straight across fringe and maintains curls for a reasonable portion of the day. This hairspray is surprisingly comparable to Joico's JoiFix Firm (formerly Ice Mist) and much more effective than L'Oreal's Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold (which I know is a popular choice amongst other beauty pros, although I find unsatisfactory despite the hype). Be warned though, I have bought at least two bottles of this product in the past whose caps fell off shortly after first use! I would test the cap in store prior to purchase. Great, effective, and affordable hairspray for those on a tight budget as well as individuals building their portfolios in the industry (I remember how much hairspray I went through when I used to do TFP's!!). -

This is my second MacBook and I am absolutely in love all over again. My husband purchased my MacBook Air as a Christmas gift for me two years ago after I returned to University to complete my second degree. It's been an absolute blessing! Wow, is it light! It weighs less than a third of what my old MacBook did and it starts up in less than a third of the time as well (Solid State Drive). Have never had issues with crashing, freezing, or the like and actually prefer to use my MacBook Air over my iPad when I'm lounging. After switching to Apple, I don't think I could ever go back to using Windows as it is so much easier to adjust to and I love having all three of my devices synced! So easy to use, I was able to teach my non-tech savvy parents in minutes. -

As this is my first pregnancy, I was a bit skeptical about certain maternity items and I was definitely wrong about not needing a new underwear wardrobe! Although I'm carrying quite low, I think even if I were to be carrying higher, these would have still been necessary. I've been lucky enough to gain all of my weight in my bust and tummy but still expanded enough to require a great stretchy band just below my mid-section. The material used for these maternity panties is extremely soft and a very nice quality. They also have a nice thick band which provides extra stability and support around the waist. From personal experience, I recommend buying these at around 24 weeks as they will be part of your daily wear from this moment forward! Too thick to wear under leggings or yoga pants (unless you are covering your rear with a long shirt) but perfect for sweats or under jeans. -

While these Prenatal Vitamins are certainly on the expensive side, you are absolutely getting what you pay for! I was determined to give my baby the best start I possibly could in addition to finding a vitamin that contains true Folate rather than the synthetic form, Folic Acid (read more on folic acid metabolism if this topic interests you), and stumbled across these at Pomme Natural Market in Port Coquitlam! The fact that a 30 day sample of Blood Builder (an Iron supplement) was included as a bonus made my decision to buy that much easier. While the pills are a bit on the large side, they are not that difficult to take, and I admit I've had taken four at once on more than one occasion. I've never had nausea as a result of these pills although they definitely have a unique smell to them; I also sometimes experience an aftertaste that is usually common to iron supplements when taking these with water. All vitamins present in these pills are obtained from natural ingredients (like cabbage for Vitamin K, whole carrots for Vitamin A, and broccoli for Folate) and the formula is free from gluten, pesticides, soy, dairy, and GMO's. They're also kosher and vegetarian! Highly recommended! Have never felt healthier than during my pregnancy and have passed all blood work and other tests with flying colours :) Couldn't be happier with my choice in prenatals!! -

I'm a huge fan of scoop neck tank tops to start and was thrilled to find these ones by Bumpstart at Motherhood Maternity :) Love the great quality of the material and how comfortable they are even five months after originally purchased (I'm now 32 weeks along and they still fit fairly well). I've pretty much lived in my Bumpstart wardrobe for the past 18 weeks and they continue to feel like new after every wear and wash! These are great basics to start your maternity wardrobe with and can be dressed up or down to suit your style or the occasion you are dressing for. Super comfortable and even thick enough to conceal coloured bras (with the exception of the white tank, of course). -

Absolutely love these high quality, long sleeve maternity T shirts!! Although I definitely wear my short sleeved T shirts more often, the long sleeved version was fantastic over our cold Vancouver winter this year! I purchased one two pack containing a grey and a black shirt and loved how basic and versatile these proved to be. I do find that they are a bit too warm recently though (I've been spending a lot of time at home since starting my mat leave early, mind you!), but this is totally subjective! At $39.98 for a two pack (and often available for buy one, get one 50% off), I find this set is completely worth it for the surprisingly good quality of the product! The shirts are thick enough to provide enough coverage to conceal a black bra under grey material and are long and stretchy enough to cover half way down my booty! I'm 5"6 and purchased these in a size medium (started off as a 36D pre-pregnancy) but have since grown much more than anticipated in my bust (now wearing a 42DD), so I would recommend buying these one size larger than you normally wear! -

Love these T Shirts and the fact that I got two sets (4 T Shirts total) for buy one get one 50% off at Motherhood Maternity (works out to about $13 a Shirt, excellent value for the high quality of this material)! They are super stretchy and moderately thick, making them great for both winter and summer seasons. These shirts come down about halfway past my bum giving me the coverage I desire (I really dislike shirts that are too short and expose too much booty!!). I've been wearing these since I was about 3 and a half months (14 weeks) pregnant and still wear them at 8 months (32 weeks). However, as my bust size has grown much more than anticipated, I may have to pop back into Motherhood to buy these in a larger size (I originally purchased medium but could have definitely used a size large more than a month ago) for my final month of growth. Based on my experience, I would personally recommend buying these in one size larger than you think you'll need! Absolutely love these, they are worth every penny!! -

Love these maternity leggings! Still extremely comfortable (and like new!) after nearly 5 months of daily wear. I bought these when I was 3 and a half months along and still love the comfort they provide me for days at home or running around doing errands. Love how thin and versatile they are but am not a fan of the slight sheerness; I personally always wear a long shirt to cover my lower half though, so this has not been that much of an issue for me. I purchased these leggings in black and grey in size medium (I normally wear a size 6 in pants) and they still have a little bit of extra room for growth! Very satisfied with these! -

Great item to aid in restful sleep! While I personally found it a bit uncomfortable (around the back of my head but super soft and relaxing over my eyes!!), the aroma of this eye mask is undeniably soothing and helps to relax a racing mind. It also does a far better job of blocking out lights than any other eye mask I've used in the past! Love the blend of lavender and chamomile. Gorgeous! -

As someone whose suffered from some pretty restless nights, this has been an absolute life saver!! As my husband and family would tell you, I have an extremely difficult time "turning it off"; I'll spend about an hour a night just thinking of everything I have to do for the coming day and week ahead! I love how this roller soothes my busy mind and slows down my racing thoughts. It smells just fabulous with a strong presence of chamomile, orange, and jasmine. I apply it to my forehead, wrists, and chest for maximum effect. Highly recommended to everyone who lives for a deep, restful sleep! -
