I’ve been a longtime user of the St Ives Apricot scrub, so I thought I would try this one. The scent is nice and refreshing from the lemon and Mandarin, although the acids from the citrus in the scrub cause a bit more wear and tear on the skin especially in combination with the exfoliation it already provides. I found it to be a bit too astringent on the skin overall in comparison to the apricot scrub which I love. -

I’ve been using DuoLingo this past year to learn Spanish and I will give it a three out of five overall. It’s not the most intuitive way to learn as they don’t start from the basics and scratch. You would think that they would start with basic pronunciation of the alphabet, numbers, etc, the same way we have all learned our first language. Instead they start with random vocabulary which is more geared towards travel perhaps. This is probably what the app is more leaning towards anyway as they focus on familiar phrases that you might use. After a year of use, I can say that I’m more comfortable with Spanish yet it would still be difficult for me to have a conversation. I’ve had better success with programs such as Rosetta Stone. -

I enjoy the Tazo brand because of the quality of their products, however this one was not one of my favorites. It is excessively sweet and does not at all taste like authentic chai. The caloric content is also quite high (110 cal per 3/4 cup plus you add in additional milk, so over 200cal/drink) and the nutritional value is lacking, although I don’t necessarily look for the latter in coffee products. You could make your own authentic chai at home which tastes much better and is healthier! -
Tabasco Green Pepper Sauce
This is probably my fav version of Tabasco sauce and although it is still reminiscent of the original, the green jalapeño twist is great! I find the original to be overly tangy, but this one was mildly tangy but with more heat, which I prefer. I... +
This is probably my fav version of Tabasco sauce and although it is still reminiscent of the original, the green jalapeño twist is great! I find the original to be overly tangy, but this one was mildly tangy but with more heat, which I prefer. I gave it a four out of five, because I love hot sauce, and there are definitely others out there that I would rank above this. -

The Hidden Valley Brand has been around for quite some time and they are well known for their dressings. Although the taste is great, I have to consider the caloric value, and overall nutrition or should I say lack thereof. 140 cal/2 Tbsp Is far more than I’d like in a condiment, and I think many of us would admit that we use for more than a few tablespoons in one sitting! They do have some lower calorie options for those who may be interested. -

Mmm I LOVE Loacker Wafers and I really recently found this flavour and it’s delicious! They have so many different flavours in their lineup some including classic flavours like chocolate and hazelnut but I really love the fruit options as well. I also love that instead of a larger wafer, these ones are bite-sized pieces so you can control how many you’re eating, although who would want to! The lemon flavour is quite authentic and not overly sweet. These make a great snack! Try out the other flavours too! -

I love this new flavour of Kellogg’s Special K! I really love this brand for their commitment to quality and trying to provide healthier options. I really like the original and berry flavours and this is a nice addition. It has sweet yoghurt clusters mixed with the original cereal and dried berries. My only wish is that it contained more of the berries and yogurt, but overall it’s great! -

I love popcorn, especially caramel popcorn so I thought I’d check this out. It does have that classic Werther’s caramel flavor, but these were way too sweet. What I love about freshly popped popcorn that you make it home or even buy at the store is that it just taste so much better when it’s fresh especially when it comes to warm caramel popcorn! I'd rather eat it fresh than out of the bag. BTW, not as good as the OG Crunch 'n Munch! -

Folgers has been a household name and staple for decades and their recipe and quality has been pretty consistent overtime. Is this a great and outstanding coffee? Nope. Does it fill your home with warm aromas that are comforting? Yup. This is probably why many people revert back to this classic despite all the other options out there. It’s nostalgic and it’s not going anywhere -
