St. Albert Cheese Curds

I am a huge fan of these cheese curds. I love the squeak they make and the fresher they are, the better the squeak. My daughter loves curds and she also says these are the best curds ever. I live in Quebec, I actually don't have access to these here, another company, but I actually travel to Ontario just to get some, traveling to either Ottawa or to St. Albert in person. Lovely area and a great hurdle for them, to rebuild and come back, but they did it!
Hats off to them for the quick rebuild. And for the production of the best cheese curds ever!!! Not too salty, not bland at all. Creamy and squeaky, the best way to go! Excellent on poutine, glad I don't live in St. Albert, I would have poutine every day. haha... Well worth the trip and the wait, we don't travel often, but when we do go that way, we get the curds, both colours and big bags of 400 g. One for me alone, for sure!

I have used the cream cheese in a cheesecake, on toast and croissants. Every bite keeps me hanging until i go for another. So smooth and creamy, the chocolate flavour isn't too strong and it is absolutely amazing on the palette. Not like any other of the flavours, a class of its own, for sure! I also spread it on banana bread as an icing and love to spread on cookies. Like an amazing idea they created, they go so well together, seems like a pity it is for a limited time only.
Absolutely amazing and deserves to be a staple in the fridge. Tastes just as good as "The Competition", maybe even better, cheese is healthy. Chocolate is good for you as well, in moderation of course. A must in the fridge, a clever idea. I'm in!

The venus swirl razor, not the best I have ever tried. I was afraid to cut myself since i am used to the 2 blade razors, but I was fine. The pivot squeaked a lot, sounded horrible while shaving. I can't believe how loud it was, really not a strong point if you want to relax in a bath and shave too. The shaving cream they recommend you should use, I tried it with the razor as well. The Gillette Venus brand with a touch of olay, violet swirl shave gel. I was disappointed. It didn't lather up as much as expected, had to use more of it. It didn't leave a remarkable smoothness it just was smooth like the usual skintimate brand I use. I am not a huge fan of the smell and the shave wasn't that close neither. I am glad I didn't purchase these two products, I would have been out of some money and disappointed too.
The razor is a beautiful purple, my favourite colour. Love the swirls and colour, the chrome look of the ball is not too in your face, but you do notice it. Looks high tech and cool, but does nothing to enhance the shave. I didn't find it to be beneficial at all. It just squeaked a lot and I was afraid to wake up the neighbors. haha... It is loud, squeaked the entire time, not sure if it needs to be oiled, but the olay could have helped. hehehe... Not the smoothest shave, felt the stubble a few hours after and my hair doesn't grow that fast or thick. It never did shave close. Just grazed the lawn it seems. The other areas of the body are a little tricky. Arm pits were fine, needed so much shave gel, the lather is just not there. Smells a little too close to the man version, smells manly and rough, a little like spring breeze or mountain fresh for men. Not at all a fan of smelling like my man. Would like to attract him, not repel him. Had to reapply twice, to make sure it was covered and the shave wasn't close. Not a huge fan of the Venus Swirl. Too bad, was the coolest looking one to date, for my taste. I have the original Gillette sensor, a 2-bladed invention and it has been with me for so many years, I lost count. My true friend in the battle of hairy days. haha... Not disappointed with my trustworthy friend, but these 2 products, not happy at all with the outcome. Expected more from Gillette, especially Venus, being the shave of the goddesses, not investing in new blades, might not even finish this one, will toss it and move on.

Air Wick Freshmatic Automatic Spray

I have this product now for about 2 months. I bought refills, but have yet to refill it, still on the same one that came with the dispenser. I am just a little peeved on the look, not the best looking thing, bulky and white, blah, blah, blah looking. It does what is says, dispenses and keeps the air fresh, but not that fresh, needs to dispense all the time to smell good. I leave it at the lowest level, no point bringing it higher, the burst of smell gets to you at times, too strong, then nothing. It works great and smells good.
Not cheap, but then again, nothing is cheap anymore, except for the quality of most items. I am actually surprised at the construction of this product, the casing unit is quite sturdy, but looks bulky and blah! White, too plain. I had no other choice, nothing else was available. I guess the companies purposely do this. Introduce a boring product, test it and offer coupons and rebates to tempt you. They give you offers, you redeem them and get stuck with the ugly product, forcing you to upgrade when something nice comes out. That's where they make their money.
It is a good product overall. You don't have to worry about freshening the place up, the spray does it for you, but it doesn't last that long. You would have to spray constantly, maximum power, but then it is too strong. My opinion is, not a must buy, but if you must try, buy something nicer looking, if you can find it, not the plain white one, boring! I have yet to use a refill, bought the snuggle ones, childhood memories for sure, but not sure about a lot of the scents. Not a lot to chose from. Had the tropical one, apple cinnamon, the mountain breeze and of course the snuggle one. About it. No other ones I found and the dispenser isn't available everywhere, just the refills at most places I have shopped.
Overall, good product. Would not buy more than one, not worth it. I have the scented oils and they work fine. Would not buy more than one and might leave this one in the bathroom in the future, could be better used there.

I received a coupon for this item, was curious and like to try out new items. Was interested in the no-touch system and wanted to put it in the bathroom, the place where it is the most useful or could be. I went to buy the dispenser and noticed the price of the refills, holy cow, these are not cheap. I am waiting for a super duper special on these. haha... I only bought this because it does come with a soap insert and the dispenser was free, with a mail-in rebate.
It is slow and needs time to react, so if you are in a rush, it won't be. It also doesn't dispense enough at a time, becomes expensive if you double up all the time, but if you use this in the kitchen, forget about it. Don't buy it at all. Not worth the money, it will cost more than the regular pump action and it is not safer or cheaper to use. It still needs to be tweaked, add some soap to the initial amount it dispenses and add some to the refill bottle, but don't hike the price. Life is expensive enough and to buy this with young children who will wash their hands more often just to use the dispenser, it becomes truly expensive.
I am not impressed with this item. The product is a tad slow, but nothing in life is instant. For the entire package, sure it has it's benefits, but not in my household. I give it an average rating. You don't need to use this product for clean hands. A simple pump action dispenser with a refill bottle is good for me. I can wipe the pump clean every day when I do dishes, which disinfects the pump and ready for another day of duties.
Why was this so important? Some households can benefit, but if your hands are always so dirty you need to have an automatic dispenser, so be it, buy it and enjoy. My needs are not met, too expensive for me.
My daughter is not a huge fan neither. She is a clean freak and doesn't see the point to using this for the cost. The scents aren't available everywhere and I had a hard time finding the original dispenser, not even a nice one too. I have seen better ones on t.v. and the internet. Bulky and ugly for my taste. It is in the bathroom hiding, needs to be there more, serves a better purpose there than in the kitchen. It is quite slow, takes a few to react and to dispense. I need the amount to be more, doesn't leave enough on my hand, need to use the pump, can select how much with it. I will keep the dispenser, will fill it myself, I use softsoap, feels good on my hands.

I am truly amazed by the wonderful scent of lavender, the smooth application and also, the long lasting feeling of dryness. There's no residue on the clothing and there seems to be a consistent level of effectiveness. I am concerned with the price and am not sure I want to spend so much on Deodorant/anti-perspirant. I checked the pharmacy next to my place, it sells for $5.49 regular price. When on sale, it fares better value, but not sure I want to spend so much on only 48 grams of product.
My overall satisfaction of the product is very good, but the amount of product for the price, truly disappointing. The price is really the bummer for me with this product. I would rather stick to my regular brand, but I might buy it on occasion for a change here and there, if it does drop in price more often.
