I know apricot shell can be controversial , however I have hardy and normal skin (if you have sensitive skin this may not be the product for you) I have a tube of this as a staple (I have been buying for years and years) on-hand almost always - I strictly buy the one with Salicylic Acid (intended for acne-prone skin) which even though I don’t have I love the exfoliation and how smooth it leaves my skin! I don’t use it daily and probably wouldn’t recommend that (unless maybe if you have oily/acne-prone skin) it’s also great for body - I use it on my upper arms (and every once in awhile my entire body for exfoliation) I would absolutely recommend it and have! to people who still use it :) the value is great when you get it for around $4 which is when I buy it and an all-around solid product that provides results you can see! #Skincare #Scrub #Beauty -

This is my happy cereal Buy it on sale and it’s about $3CAD so great deal - the last box I got even had 25% more granola in it :) You can also get a value 2 pack from CostCo and I think that’s one of those items there thats worth it and manageable even for a single person #Post #Cereal #Breakfast #Foodie -

I picked this lipbalm up at a pop-up shop (assume overstock bought by someone wholesale) for $3 - it really does make my lips feel wonderful, I gave it 3 stars for two reasons 1) it’s not quite as long lasting as I would like 2) I wouldn’t put lipstick over it (feels like it would be a little too slick for it to adhere) but overall I think it’s a fairly solid product (but if I am honest not sure if I would re-purchase or not, maybe in a pinch or once in a while, but I wouldn’t go hunting for it) I do think the packaging is cute and would be attractive to teens as a first lip balm or with Christmas just having passed got me thinking it would be a perfect stocking stuffer #Skincare #Lipcare #Beauty -

I picked this up to try since it was on sale at Shoppers for about $8 I believe. Definitely the most dramatic liquid liner in how it shows up that I have ever tried and love that!! I gave it 4 stars for two reasons 1) it does get a little crumbly/cakey on me when it dries and 2) after wearing it for awhile, I wouldn’t say this is an all-day wear, I do have to reapply it again late afternoon/early evening if I am continuing my day and want to keep my makeup on - I would buy this again for the effect it does provide! and I admit I do love the name and the packaging the boot is sexy #Makeup #EyeLiner # Beauty -

Initially when I bought this I would say I was NOT a fan - still used it, but at the start there was so much product that come out on the brush that I had to apply some to the mascara wand from my last one and use that for quite awhile... I don’t love having to hang onto my old mascara to be able to use my new one lol I didn’t love the brush I feel like the bristles are too short/soft to separate my lashes (I hate clumpies) and I wouldn’t say it does that but I did find it made my lashes stick together which isn’t a great thing... I thought I wouldn’t buy this again (I think I got it for $10 at Shoppers on sale) and I do like the pink packaging. As I said at the start I did not like it but as I kept using it grew on me; as the product was used more felt like it did work well on my lashes (I already have long lashes what I go for is a mascara that adds volume) and I will say it does work nicely on my lower lashes! By the time I got to the end of it I went from hating it to I would probably buy this again :) I bought the washable one so it would be easy to take off; next time I might try the waterproof one. #Makeup #Mascara #Beauty -

I picked this up from the $20 #perfume clearance shelf at Shoppers - I had assumed it was from France, but an associate overheard me chatting w my friend and clarified it was made in Montreal, Canada, which made me happy since I love supporting Canadian companies. My skin always dramatically changes a #scent so very few work on me, this one is lovely, I would say it’s a little warmer than my Calvin Klein Euphoria - had bought it for spring/summer as a lighter #fragrance, but ended up using it right away this winter (it is definitely less sweet than my usual Pink Sugar - so it’s a nice medium range if those references help :) for me this perfume along w it’s price made it a good buy! I also liked the packaging with the pink as I am always drawn to that colour. I would say it’s worth giving a try if you’re curious :) -

Pink Sugar by Aquolina has been my winter go-to #fragrance for several years - I love the sweet rich vanilla #scent! It develops on my skin beautifully and feels warm and cozy :) If you prefer a floral/lighter #scent this may not be for you - lately I have seen it on the $20 perfume clearance shelf at Shoppers (in Canada) on the regular! So if you wanted to give it a try I would recommend picking it up there (and ensuring you get it lower-risk so to speak ;) I also like the pink and white packaging almost has a vintage fairground resonance. #Perfume -

Please note the brand name is actually Blu•Dot - I tried a little of this at a friends house - so I am not sure how much they cost but it’s a great idea!! Protein Tea!! One bottle has 10gms of protein (which to me is substantial - I am not a fan of when something is advertised as being contained in it but when you read the label it’s in a minuscule amount) The protein in this drink is from Whey (so maybe not be suitable for people with dairy issues) but for me is this is fine :) I believe it’s a Canadian company - Peak Drive Beverages from what I see on their website. I had the pineapple orange flavour and it was lovely - delicate and not overly sweet, perfect for summer :) I will be keeping an eye for these and would likely grab one of these over a vitamin water (if they are similar in price) now that I know these exist! They all seem to be green tea based (which usually I do not like and maybe the slightly different note I tasted, but it was so subtle it didn’t put me off and then hopefully would provide all the benefits of green tea) It comes in 5 flavours: Orange Pineapple, Cranberry Pomegranate, Blueberry Açai, Cherry Mango and White Tea Apple Pear -

A&W;is not only my fav root beer - it is the only one I drink (I am not a fan of Dad’s or Mug and most especially don’t like Barq) At the restaurants - one thing I find unique about A&W;is that they don’t put ice in their fountain root beer (one summer I asked for it and learned they keep it chilled to a certain level but don’t offer/have ice) as it would dilute the flavour! I kinda love that level of commitment and attention to detail to their product and consistency (plus value since less ice = more drink :) I also noted the straw is an eco-friendly cardboard/paper one and I assumed would be recyclable but even better (if you have it available to you in a handy way) its compostable, which I am glad they noted on the wrapper or I wouldn’t have realized that... I confess I am not a huge fan of A&W;food but the drink is top-notch for root beer! My brother is famous for his love of A&W;Root Beer and we buy it in both the case and bottle for home. -

I use the Shimmer Mocha Havana shade - A friend had me check this out at the Lancôme counter at the Bay as I NEVER used blush, always felt like it made me look like I was over-heated after the gym lol This is the first and only blush I have used (after I found this I haven’t looked for others) I do confess I have had mine for years and years (I know makeup is to be replaced on a schedule but as this isn’t in the eye area and I haven’t had any reactions ever - I have more hardy skin may not be a good idea if you have sensitive or acne prone skin) so for the price point of $43 its fantastic value for me! I don’t know that it needs to come w the little brush - I would imagine that would apply it overly concentrated for my liking, I use a fan brush to apply it w a light touch as I like a very subtle delicate amount - but I do very much appreciate the built-in mirror. I enjoy the shimmer in it as I prefer a radiant/natural/dewy look (over matte) so if you like that look best and with all the other factors I highly recommend the investment in a Lancome Blush Subtil Delicate Oil-Free Powder Blush #Makeup #Blush #Beauty -
