A must have in your nail care routine! This is a blend of nourishing oils (avocado, almond, grapeseed, aloe vera) and beneficial vitamins that give dry nails and cuticles a healthy, shiny finish. The pen/marker applicator tip makes brushing on very simple. I apply the oil to both the cuticles and the nail beds and rub it in with my fingers. It absorbs fairly quickly and doesn't leave a greasy mess behind. I also love the sweet almond scent it has. Very inexpensive too! I purchased mine for $1.00 and it has lasted me quite a while. Excellent product! -

I received a sample of this product recently. It's a powdered supplement that provides magnesium, vitamin C and electrolytes. It's meant to be stirred and dissolved into water which then creates an effervescent/fizzy drink. It is supposed to be orange flavoured.
My initial reaction was that it was not so bad and the orange flavour was pretty good. It reminded me of Tang and it was initially easy to drink. I was ready to give it a good review but then the medicinal aftertaste started kicking in. It's not as fizzy as the packaging describes. When I think of fizzy, I think soda pop fizzy. This was more flat in nature.
I do think it's a great format to consume your vitamins, especially if you have trouble swallowing them and it's completely free of artificial colors and flavours, so thumbs up for that. However, I just can't see myself purchasing this to drink on a daily basis. Good concept, but the taste needs improvement.
In terms of the effects this has on the body, I didn't consume this for such a long period of time to notice long lasting benefits, but after one dose, I did feel a little more energized and the tension headache I had went away naturally. I'm assuming it was due to this product because it was the only thing that was different in my diet.

I bought this for a young child a few months ago and after observing him play with it, I'm very happy with the purchase. It's such a simple toy but it allows for so much fun. It's made of a sturdy plastic which will last quite some time and the bowling balls are easy for a child to grab and throw. Since the pins are multicolored, you can even create pattern games. They do make noise when the pins drop to the floor, so I would suggest this as an outdoor game, especially if you're intent on peace and quiet in the house. I found that carrying case to be very convenient and a good way for the child to learn how to put away his toys in a neat manner. Very affordable too! -

I received samples of these gums recently and was quite surprised to find that they were in the long stick shape rather than the typical tablet shape Excel is known for. I loved how easy it was to chew and the flavors (both spearmint and peppermint) were not too sweet, yet refreshingly minty. I like that they are naturally sweetened, so you don't have to worry about consuming artificial ingredients like aspartame. The flavour lasts a long time and is great to chew after you've had a meal so that your breath smells clean and fresh. -
Orville Redenbacher Popcorn Chips Buttery

These are by far the most flavourful popcorn chips I've tried. They taste just like the popcorn you would get at a movie theatre, but it's in the form of a chip instead. The texture is super crispy and doesn't taste stale like some other varieties I've tried. Good portion size for each individual chip and you can eat 30 chips which results in 180 calories. Not bad! It claims to have 60% less fat than your regular potato chips, so it's an alternative if you're really craving a salty snack. -

A friend of mine had me try this cream and I've been obsessed with it ever since! It really transforms, dull dry skin into being glowing and smooth afterwards. It also has diminished the red bumps from keratosis pilaris, on the back of my arms, making me less self conscious about exposing them. I love how silky soft my skin feels and the scent is light and fresh. I'm constantly wanting to reapply because it works so well. I first bought this in the tub format but since switched to the bottle with the pump. Much more hygienic this way. -

My limp, flat hair can't thank this mousse enough! I've been using it for the past month and I've never had volume like I've had with this product. I use an egg-sized amount for shoulder length, damp hair and then blow dry upside down and make sure to hit the roots. When I'm done styling my hair, it has double the volume and it stays that way for the next day or two, which is something rare for me, as it usually goes flat instantly. I also like that it doesn't weigh down my hair and leaves it flexible and free of residue. The scent is really nice too. I also like the dispenser as it gives you just the right amount of product every time. Great product and I will definitely repurchase after it's finished. -

I have sensitive skin and it can be somewhat of a difficult task to try and find the perfect soap or body wash that will avoid flare ups or irritation. I know I can always count on Dove's Beauty bar, especially the sensitive skin formula. I use it both on my face and body and it is so gentle on my skin. It doesn't dry it out and since it's free of harsh perfumes and chemicals, I know it helps my skin retain its natural moisture. I've had fewer pimples since using this and I've noticed less redness on my cheeks. I've brought this formula with me while travelling to places where the change in temperature can cause havoc on my skin, and it seemed to soothe it and kept my skin looking fresh. I will always keep one of these beauty bars in stock just in case. Highly recommended! -

Hellmann's mayonnaise has been my product of choice for many years. I usually get the 1/2 fat variety for health purposes and although the flavour isn't as delicious as the full fat kind, I still find it to be tasty enough to be satisfying. It spreads really easily on hamburger buns and is a great addition to potato and chicken salads. Made with authentic ingredients too. -

This is a good hardwood floor cleaner. It doesn't leave behind any residue and enhances the natural color of the wood after you use it. I also feel comfortable using this on my wood furniture. The scent could be considered strong for some, but I don't mind it. The only thing that could be improved is the fact that it can leave a few streaks behind, not an extreme amount, but I've had to go over some spots. -
