Extremely multi purpose and the box seems to last a LIFETIME! (Great bang for your buck) I use this to clean in the hard to reach area between our bathroom sink faucet and the wall. Add a little soap and it picks up the dust that falls behind. I use these when I am in a rush and accidentally apply my mascara to the top of my eyelid... I also use Q-tips for touch ups while doing my nails. It is more precises than using a cotton ball or cotton pad.
Overall, these have been in my home growing up and will continue to be!

I was on a trip to Paris and the little cafe I was having lunch at gave me Hellmann's mayonnaise along side my order of french fries. I was beyond confused but saw other people dipping their french fries into the mayo (instead of typical Ketchup) I was hooked ever since! Hellmann's offers the best consistency out of the other mayo's I've tried and comes the closest to my homemade mayo in texture/flavour. I especially love the squeeze tubes/bottles when making sandwiches because it's easier than putting a knife into the bottle to get the little remaining bit and ending up with a hand covered in mayo.
Hellmann's is my favourite for sandwiches, french fries, to add to dips/dressings, and with Sriracha to add onto a burger.

I remember seeing Eucerin on the counter in the kitchen growing up. My mom would use it after doing the dishes during the Winter when the weather is the most damaging on your skin. This would be the only product that would work and not make her hands dry and cracked.
Since I grew up with this brand being a household name- literally, I kept loyal to the company and continued to buy their products. I used this product recently and loved it because of the healing effects- like my mom, after doing dishes.
This goes on smooth and velvety without any oily or watery texture. The scent is very light and hardly noticeable compared to a lot of other lotions on the market.
Price point is also great for a product that does the trick! I would suffer from splitting thumbs during the winter and this is the only cure!

I was very intrigued by the lightweight clumping litter that Arm & Hammer is now offering, since a few other companies are advertising this new and improved product. I had previously tried the Tidy Cats lightweight litter but was less than impressed. While the Arm & Hammer does stand up against its claim of clumping and sealing in the scents- the lightweight formula means it travels further on my hardwood floors. I find it scatters across the room after my cat jumps out of the litter box and it sticks to socks easier than the regular clay/heavier litter. That being said, it sticks to my cats paws easier and it is so dusty! Cleaning the litter box means standing a good meter away in hopes the dust doesn't rise too high and hit me. I also now see paw prints on the back of my black couch. Overall, I wouldn't buy this product again. It is so messy and I have to vacuum more frequently than I already do (3+ times a week). -

I love these fries for a quick, on-the-go kind of dinner. I love to make make some veggie loaded taco fries. I take veggie ground round and add some taco seasoning in. I put that onto the fries, add some chopped tomatoes, guacamole, chopped cilantro and topped with a drizzle of cilantro, lime, jalapeno creama. So delicious and great for a quick meal. This takes me under an hour to prepare (with the fries taking the most time with their cooking time) I do this dish in a bowl so everything stays on the fries nicely. -

I like the idea of the Dream Velvet blender but I wouldn’t buy it. I use my clean, washed fingers to blend foundation onto my face. I know they say grease from your fingers can clog pores, but I have been doing this my whole life and I have no skin issues. The idea of the blender is neat but having to wash it constantly so bacteria doesn’t build up seems like a hassle. It would be cool if the top was removable and you could add new “sponge” tops as replacements. I think the price point is too high on this product compared to similar products in store- Example: Quo makeup blenders with multiple sponge wedges in the package compared to this 1 blender. For me, there is no real benefit to this product. -

First of all, the name is already a familiar brand and one I currently use Maybelline’s mascara and eyeliner. I have used their foundation in the past but have since switched to a tinted moisturizer for the cold, damaging winter months. In this case, I used the Dream Blender to mix in a little foundation in with my current moisturizer to give me added hydration. Overall, the product is velvety smooth, as advertised. It went onto my skin evenly and with full coverage- no blotchy areas or discoloration. The matte finish was very nice because no one wants to walk out the door with a wet/too dewy foundation. I liked that once it was on it was smooth to the touch and didn’t look caked on. Compared to my usual base which is a tinted moisturizer, I can swap that out with this (added with a bit of my daily moisturizer) for evening and weekend looks as it is a little darker than I would use for everyday work makeup. I go very natural and generally don’t use much foundation unless I am going out. Given the size of the tube, I wouldn’t have to purchase another for quite some time. I would purchase the Dream Velvet Foundation again based on performance, a familiar and reputable brand name, and the price point for the product in comparison to the amount in the tube. Thanks to Chick Advisor for letting me test out this product for review purposes. -

The moment you open the foil package it takes you away to a tropical island. I am not even kidding, the scent is so invigorating! I loved that the taste was just as good as the smell. It was a little too sweet for me, but the rest of my family devoured the pieces.
The real chunks of fruit and pieces of coconut really add to the quality of the product but showing the realness and not just simulated flavours.
Taste, texture, size, quality, consistency- all amazing. I was not disappointed in this chocolate bar and will be sure to pick up more in the future for a sweet tooth fix.

Out of the 3 bars, this was my favourite! I tried this after a girls shopping day, along with a cup of tea. It was a nice balance of sweet, tart, and rich. I loved the balance and that it could literally be paired with anything. I think this would work so well melted and then drizzled on strawberries for Valentines day. Hint hint.
Taste- subtle fruit flavours that balanced the dark chocolate
Texture- having real fruit chunks visible is always a good sign to me. I want to see the pieces mixed in to know it is made with real fruit.
Price- considering this is the going rate, a brand like Brookside, it was a surprise to see it stand among the other competitors in that price point. I think that is such a great buy for the quality.
I did have issues finding these products in store so that is my only deterrent from buying again. If I see it pop up more places, I will be more apt to purchasing it.
Definitely try this one out! So good!!

I love this chocolate bar! The moment I ripped open that wrapper, the smell was phenomenal. It brought instant serenity and comfort after a day full of stress. One thing I loved is that this chocolate bar offered different square sizes so you could have as much or as little as you like.
Taste- amazing! Natural and real tasting blueberry with a hint of almond
Texture- real chunks of fruit and bits of almonds. The dark chocolate was smooth and velvety- as chocolate should be.
Smell: As I said above, literally invigorating! I am a huge chocoholic so it takes a good bar to evoke a response like this :D
