The long standing #Home staple we all know - so good for so many things! #Baking; making crepes; tenderizing meat; #cleaning in general, specifically drains (with vinegar) and #laundry with hydrogen peroxide (to whiten whites) and of course #skincare (I saw a #YouTube vid to use it before a Biore Pore Strips nose strip and now always do!) and in toothpaste for #OralCare - I like no matter where you pick it up you know the quality will be consistent and for $1 a box on sale, that’s incredibly reasonable! Definitely an item to have on-hand and ready in the house. -

This is a favourite #snack of mine (personal preference I don’t like the Cheetos Jumbo Puffs - 8.5oz style) I like the crunchy texture, cheesy salty flavour! Like any chip, probably not the healthiest thing to eat all the time; but once in a while as a treat it’s great. Nutritional note: they actually are a decent source of iron, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and good amount of folate at 15% of RDA. For $1 a small bag at Dollarama in #Canada the price is great too. I recommend these (along Frito Lay Chester's Cheddar Popcorn 6.75 oz) just be careful they can be addictive :) #Snacks #FavoriteFoods -

I really like this #snack along with Frito-Lay Cheetos Crunchy Cheese Flavored Snacks, I often find myself grabbing this bag at the grocery store (which if my brother doesn’t squirrel steal it :) I enjoy - the flavour of the cheese and texture of the popcorn! The only thing of note (why I gave it 4 stars) is even if you close the bag tightly (I can’t finish one in one go) it does go stale a little quicker than I would like... outside of that and your fingers might get a little orange :) which doesn’t bother me it’s a solid product and dependable treat for once in awhile #FavoriteFoods -
Hershey’s Ovation Mint Chocolate Sticks

They are a family favourite!! My dad was a teacher and every #Christmas he would get these as a gift and we loved them!! I associate them with Christmas and Christmas with them. Unfortunately they don’t seem to be available in #Canada anymore Hershey's Please being them back!!! To be honest I don’t usually like Hershey’s products (unfortunately their #chocolate tastes odd to me) but this is an amazing one! The only alternative option we have is Nestlé After Eight Mint Chocolate Thins since they also come in sticks but the mint is harsher and they are just not the same :( There was something so special about getting a box of the ovation ones and I hope they are widely available here again one day! -
IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream
Outstanding! I purchased this kit from Sephora during their recent #Rouge sale - $121 value for $54 with the 20% discount, can’t beat that, esp since this face cream is $63 on its own! I primarily picked up this set to try #ITCosmetics Confidence... +
Outstanding! I purchased this kit from Sephora during their recent #Rouge sale - $121 value for $54 with the 20% discount, can’t beat that, esp since this face cream is $63 on its own! I primarily picked up this set to try #ITCosmetics Confidence in an Eye Cream which I love and rated 5 stars - and because this came with a FULL-SIZE of this face cream! I also got the Biossance Your Clean Routine-Overachievers Kit, a kit from Fresh and Caudalie Vinopure Clean Pores Routine - and the IT Cosmetics one was the only one with a full size product. I LOVE this (and the entire line) light scent and extraordinary performance - my face feels hydrated, protected, lifted and tightened. It is a rich cream, I have normal to dry skin, so I always go for that especially for a #Canadian winter. The only thing I could compare this to is Origins Three Part Harmony Nourishing Cream For Renewal Repair And Radiance which I got as a #Clean #Skincare product to try and quite liked as well but the price point for that is higher at about $90 so if cost is the primary concern (over clean) I would recommend this one of the two to try. Even if cost isn’t a factor - I highly recommend this #moisturizer and am confident you will love it (if you like a luxurious rich cream) I know it’s is definitely one I will be repurchasing over and over. #Skincare #Beauty #Junkie -

Normally love and trust #DrunkElephant products! The last one I bought at #Sephora was the Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream and it is a super solid product, which I will purchase again, it delivers what it is meant to, the building blocks or foundational element matrix for under your #Moisturizer such as the Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Moisturizer With Ceramides - overall I would say DE products are a 4 or 5 star as a standard (and I like they are #clean #skincare) but this #sample left much to be desired for me. I know it’s hard to judge on a one-time #sample use but my experience was disappointing - I tried it as the leave-on #mask option and I didn’t like the texture/feeling as it was (drying/setting) on my skin and I didn’t particularly notice any difference to speak of... I believe in investing in good skincare but at $68CAD I don’t believe it’s worth it (pick something else from their line for your money) and its not one I would purchase or recommend to a friend. Perhaps if you use it as a serum it works better? #Skincare #Beauty #Junkie -
Amopé Pedi Perfect Wet & Dry Rechargeable Foot File

I love this!! Goodbye pumice stones or anything else. I got this for I believe around $60CAD at #Shoppers Drug Mart so its not a cheap disposable item type price point- but it’s so worth the cost!! It’s rechargeable (USB port) I use a wall outlet, so you don’t have to buy and fuss with replacing batteries. I like the aesthetic for a bathroom pretty blue and soft, well sealed as its for both wet and dry use. I have used it both ways but think I prefer dry just zap my heels for a seconds over the bathtub, put it back on its charge (there is a handy green light indicator which flashes while charging and holds solid when done) and jump in the shower et voila smooth healthy feet! I apply lotion and put on socks right after getting out to help support the work the amope does. It’s lasted me for years (and does you can purchase handy Amope Pedi Perfect Electronic Foot File Wet Dry Regular Coarse Refills to replace as needed and I have had to buy them rarely) overall it’s a fantastic product, does what it says it will and high quality/value - I highly recommend it! -
Tweezerman Rose Gold Tweezer

Not worth the money! I tried a pair of these #tweezers from #Shoppers DrugMart hoping they would work better but mostly banking on them to stay sharper/stronger longer - I do believe in investing in good products and would have been happy to re-buy and recommend these if they were worth the price in performance and quality - unfortunately sometimes something with a name or that costs more isn’t necessarily better... I found this one didn’t last as long as my usual Revlon ones. I did take advantage of the mail in free sharpening but (perhaps because from #Canada) the cost of shipping and time, that really didn’t provide value for me. I will return to my trusty #Revlon Expert Tweezer (Slant Tip) ones and stick to what I know is good and what I can trust to be consistently good. I would not recommend Tweezerman ones as a whole as they were about $30CAD and say buy the lesser cost Revlon ones which I believe I have bought in and about the $10 range when are on sale, even with having to replace them eventually you will save money for equal performance! #Beauty #Junkie -

This is THE single best #soysauce out there!!! At least according to my family - it is the one and only one we buy (even having to go to Asian stores to hunt it out) I find it to be more flavourful (not just a shot of saltiness) more notes and a little softer in taste. I use it in this (along with Mama Sita's Oyster Sauce, 27-Ounce Bottle (Pack of 2) & Pantai sweet soy sauce) in this #Thai style #noodle dish I love to make! #Foodie -

This is a great product!! I am so glad it’s an alternative option available on the market - it’s an oyster sauce but made with mushroom (as I am not much of a #seafood person, I just don’t like it much unfortunately) so this is wonderful for me so that I can make my fav #Thai #Noodle dish! It’s a solid quality product I recommend if you don’t like the scent of seafood or have a fussy eater in your family who doesn’t, also perfect if you are #Vegetarian #Vegan. #Foodie -
