I was really pleased with how quickly this moisturized my dried skin and how long it lasted. I use this frequently on my hands, and it soaks in relatively quickly as to not leave a greasy feeling. After I dry off after my shower, I put this on my arms and legs and they feel hydrated and smooth!
My only issue with this product was the scent. It's pretty light, which is good because it smells like a generic or cheap perfumy lotion.

Aveeno® Positively Radiant Exfoliating Body Wash

This is a really great body wash! It foams really well so I don't have to use very much. It has some exfoliating beads in it which feel great, but not too many to be abrasive. It washes off nicely and leaves my skin feeling smooth and not tight.
My main qualm with this product was the scent. It's pretty light, which is good because it smells like a generic or cheap perfumy body wash. Another slight issue was that I did not find the lid easy to open in the shower, especially with wet hands. There is not much of a lip to grab onto to flip up so I end up almost snapping a nail off to pry it open (not a big issue, but a consideration nonetheless that I've never had to think of before).

If my sensitive skin is going to react to any product, it's most likely to be facial cleanser. Usually the ones that are most effective in preventing breakouts also irritate my skin. Not so with this product.
It has absolutely no scent and foams really well so I don't have to use too much of it. My skin feels really clean afterwards and not tight or dried out. I didn't have any adverse reaction, irritation, or redness while using this cleanser.
I would highly recommend this product to all sensitive-skinned people!

Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30

With sensitive skin, I am always looking out for products that work well that I won't react to. This product does 50% of that for me.
On the positive end: I had no negative skin reaction to this moisturizer. It has no scent and my makeup went on fine with use of a primer.
On the downside: it is a thicker consistency that other moisturizers I have used and therefore more opaque. It didn't spread as nicely on my skin so I had to use more than usual. It also didn't go on smoothly and evenly so I was left with patches of white residue that I had to rub in or off (which I unfortunately noticed throughout my work day). On my skin it had a slight sticky feeling and didn't leave my skin feeling smooth and soft.
I tried this in spring in Canada, so I can't speak to the SPF protection claim.
If someone has really sensitive skin, this may be a great product, but I hate that you might have to trade off quality for having no adverse reactions.

TRESemmé Smooth Compressed Micro Mist Hair Spray Hold Level 2

I did not use hair spray regularly before this product. Whenever I think of hair spray I think of strong smelling and crunchy hair. Not so with this product!
First of all, I don't mind the scent at all. The container is really easy to hold because of it's unique shape, which actually was really helpful for me (none of that large clunky can cramping my hand). My hair didn't feel crunchy or stiff after using nor the next day when my hair was still soft and workable. It really smoothed my stray hairs and frizz for days - even on rainy days! There was no white powder residue either.
I cannot speak highly enough of this product! I have gone from not using hair spray, so using it with every hairstyle (up in various styles or down in curls). It's a great product at an awesome value! I definitely recommend!

Breyers delights Vanilla Bean
This ice cream is so good! It's so amazing you would have NO idea that the WHOLE CONTAINER is only 280 cals (1/2 cup = 70 cals and has 20% daily intake of FIBRE!). I was honestly shocked when I read that. The texture is similar to a frozen yogurt... +
This ice cream is so good! It's so amazing you would have NO idea that the WHOLE CONTAINER is only 280 cals (1/2 cup = 70 cals and has 20% daily intake of FIBRE!). I was honestly shocked when I read that.
The texture is similar to a frozen yogurt or gelato (more milky/icy than creamy), but it might be the best vanilla bean ice cream I've ever had. No joke. And I LOVE vanilla bean. It's a really pure and not overly strong vanilla bean flavor.
I cannot recommend this product enough! What a treat! (Only hitch is the price, but it's so sweet that it'll last you a few sittings and make that dollar stretch)

Nutella Hazelnut Spread
Life is yummy with Nutella! You can use it as a spread, but also as a base for brownies (just adding flour and eggs) as well as many other things. Can often get it on sale.

Kitchenaid Professional Stand Mixer
Bought my mixer when it was 60% off! So definitely wait for sales. The mixer is going to last a long time and does so many things. It's easy to use and to change attachments.

I have been wanting to get an ActiFry for a long time, and one day stumbled upon a 2in1 at Value Village. I am so glad I got it! We have made donuts, chicken wings, roasted chickpeas, perogies, sweet potato fries (both handcut and frozen), and granola (8 min!). It is so useful and easy to clean! Most things take a bit of oil, but many things - like chicken and granola - don't require any additional oil.
I can't say whether I would buy it at full price - I mean, I didn't - but I think that especially if you can get one on sale, this is worth the cost!

This protein shake is awesome! It was in a convenient container so I didn't have to scoop and mix, so I just grabbed it on the go. I grabbed it to have on the bus first thing in the morning when I didn't have time to eat breakfast before work. I found it didn't fill me up like a meal, but helped me wake up with some energy and hold me over until I could eat. The only issue I had was the taste. It had that chalky taste and mouth-feel that I loathe from of protein shakes and I could barely get it down.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who gets hungry between meals, especially as a snack at work. #gotitfree
