Revitalizing, soothing body butter for your tired muscles! I love using this luxurious, moisture rich cream on my tired legs and arms after a long day! Feels amazing and actually helps relieve aches and pains. I also use this product to give my husband massages; love the way it makes it easier for me to work out tightness and knots and the relief it provides him. Gorgeous smell! A beautiful combination of aromatherapy and hydration! -

I use this essential oil as both a topical treatment and in my diffuser. This is an absolutely fantastic remedy for difficult asthma days or after a day of power cleaning. I find it really opens up my airways and relieves (or enhances relief of) respiratory difficulties both prior to and after ventolin use; I've actually used this on its own to soothe respiratory issues as well :) very effective!! Recommend this to asthmatics, like myself, those with a flu or cold, and even those simply looking for an invigorating, stimulating scent! Love this! -

I personally find this foundation too dry for my skin type (also dry) although I would recommend it for someone with combination or oily skin as your natural oils will give you an easier time applying the product than I had! I didn't like how this felt more like a dry mouse than a liquid and found the application chunky despite the amount of moisturizer I used beforehand. I can see why other reviewers liked the product though as, like I mentioned earlier, combination or oily skin types would likely find it very suitable. The bottle is fantastic and distributes a reasonable amount of product instead of overdoing it and wasting product (like more traditional glass "pour" bottles). I also love how secure the twist on cap is! The shades available are also a pretty good variety and the colour can be easily cut with moisturizer or concealer if need be. -

A stimulating, beautiful scent that creates a soothing domestic environment. I absolutely love starting the day with this diffuser blend and have it on a four hour cycle over the weekends when I'm taking care of business at home or during the week when I'm getting ready for work or studying for a busy day of classes ahead (if I'm not using Quick Study during exam prep!). Now that I'm on mat leave, my home almost always smells like After the Rain :) my husband finds it very soothing to come home to after a long day of work but I normally switch to Stress Release or Tranquility before bed. This is my current favourite, go to diffuser blend! -

Delicious! I've never been a fan of pork and somehow, this in my top three for favourite Gardein products! Love the texture and slight crunchiness to this imitation sweet and sour pork. This is just fantastic when served with pineapple brown rice and a light cucumber salad (I love cucumbers mixed with sweet and spicy sauces!). For an extra kick, mix a small amount of Frank's Red Hot or another similar hot sauce with the included sweet and sour packet. This pork substitute is so good, even my husband loves it, and he's a big fan of meat! I personally always bake my meals instead of microwaving (for both health and flavour reasons), and believe this is the best way to cook these pork bites. The included sauce is a bit on the sweet side but easily toned down with a bit of salt or hot sauce. Super tasty dish! Highly recommend it! -
Gardein Mandarin Orange Crispy Chick'n
Delicious on its own or served with brown rice and a side salad! A very light take on a popular dish. Far feeer calories with no loss in flavour. The texture of this chicken substitute is right on but I'm disappointed that it's not gluten free... +
Delicious on its own or served with brown rice and a side salad! A very light take on a popular dish. Far feeer calories with no loss in flavour. The texture of this chicken substitute is right on but I'm disappointed that it's not gluten free (don't see a reason for this as Chick'n Scallopini is a gluten free chicken substitute as well). This could be easily resolved by substituting rice flour for wheat flour. The included sauce is very tasty, with the right amount of orange flavour and not overpoweringly sweet! Love this quick fix for after a long day of classes or work! I always bake my meals, never microwave; I do this for both health and flavour reasons. Place your meat alternative evenly on a baking tray and heat for 10-15 minutes while you warm up your sauce package with hot water in the empty Gardein bag (may need to switch out water more than once to sufficiently heat it). Then, for an additional 10 minutes of cooking, coat your chick'n in the warmed up sauce and heat it up some more. Enjoy! -

Welcome to flavour country!! Wow, these black bean burgers are fantastic! Vegan, GF, and yummy as can be! Taste absolutely delicious served on their on or with additions like chipotle and Frank's Red Hot. I personally don't eat a lot of bread and don't usually have mine in a bun but every now and then eat this on a piece of toast for added crunch :) serve with cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, celery, and other delicious veggies to bring down the spice from your hot sauce while balancing the naturally rich flavour. I will absolutely buy these forever! -

Love this guilt free substitute for turkey, one of my favourites! Great flavour and texture which I've had a good experience serving to even the most stubborn critics (my husband!!). The included gravy is also delicious and I would absolutely choose this meat alternative over Tofurkey any day. Much less chewy and more convincing for those unfamiliar with a meat free diet. I am however, disappointed that this product is not gluten free as are most of my other Gardein favourites. I would gladly pay a dollar or two extra for each package to be GF. -

An excellent variant of the original Croatian classic with your health in mind! MSG, Artifical Flavour Enhancer, and Preservative free! I don't find that you lose any flavour by substituting Natur for the Universal spice and have switched over to this one after seeing it available at my local European grocer (Natureway Farm Market in Port Coquitlam!!). This blend contains more dehydrated vegetables than the original and adds bold taste to soups, sauces, rice, meat and alternatives! I personally use this in just about everything :) my husband's a big fan of chicken wings and I've even used this to make him baked "Croatian wings", which he loved!! The flavours that stand out most to me in this spice blend are carrot, parsnip, parsley, garlic, onion, and celery. For any Czechs or Slovaks that may be reading this, it provides a great savoury, rich flavour to Sviečková! For the Croats, it works everywhere Universal does... which is essentially every Croatian dish ever, haha! Highly recommend this blend! -

Another decent natural shampoo! Though its doesn't build a foamy lather as do standard shampoos, I feel that this is about right for one made primarily of natural ingredients. Provides a very fresh, clean feeling although I personally found that sometimes the peppermint/tea tree combination is a bit too potent. Certainly wakes you up in the morning, but watch not to get this stuff in your eyes! Although it does an effective job providing an invigorating, squeaky clean experience, I still have a couple of other favourites I will always choose first if given the option. -
