I bought this Keurig Special Edition Coffee Brewer a couple of years ago and absolutely LOVED it! Unfortunately, it stopped brewing after about a year and a half ... seemed to have been clogged. Fixed it a few times but couldn't be bothered after a while. Anyhow, I would definitely purchase one of these again ... the pro's definitely outweigh the con's.
Pro's:
-takes up minimal space
-fresh coffee in a minute
-no more wasting pots of coffee
-flavours are endless
-price point isn't too bad
Con's
-a real pain to clean
-pods can get expensive if you're a heavy coffee drinker
All in all, I miss my Keurig at home and can't wait to get a replacement. Thank goodness we still have one at work! :D

At one point in my life, I had a Timmies at every waking moment of the day. Now that I'm a bit older, a little more health conscious, I only treat myself to a Tim Hortons coffee once in a while, but I do consider it to be one of my most favourite treats that I look forward to!
The coffee tastes wonderful, and the staff in our local shops make the visit that much better! The dark roast blend is excellent, and my usual "go-to". The flavour is full and rich, yet not too strong.

I remember when I was a teenager and Nexxus products were all the rage! The hair salon sold it and I used to save up my babysitting money so I could buy the shampoo and conditioner.
Fast forward (an undisclosed number of years), and I still enjoy Nexxus products.
The price point is my only "Boo!" factor, other than that, the Nexxus Therappe Shampoo is fantastic! I have very thick, long and heat damaged hair. It doesn't work miracles, but I am always pleased with the cleanliness, body, shine and smell of my hair after using this shampoo and accompanying conditioner.
Overall, I do recommend it, but would keep an eye out for local flyer sales & coupons. :)

I am not normally a fan of tea, I am a die hard coffee drinker!
We have a Keurig machine at work and one of my co-workers happened to have put a few of the Lipton Indulge Rich Black Tea k-cups in ... we ran out of coffee, so figured I'd try one. It was a lovely tasting tea. Very smooth, I didn't find it as strong as others have mentioned, but that might be because I drink strong coffee. I did prepare it with a little sugar and milk, just as I drink my coffee.
I ended up going to buy some to have on hand at home should we have tea-drinking-company over to visit :)
Good product, decent price ... I will purchase again.

I used this product in the past, and as much as I wanted to love it, my poor skin just didn't like it. For what it's worth, I have fairly sensitive skin, so I'm sure the product would be great for most. When I used it, my chin, cheeks and around my nose would turn red, full of irritation and become quite dry.
I did, however, notice that my pores would tighten up a bit, which was very welcome as my pores are quite large and noticeable.
The price point and availability of this product are great, it just didn't agree with my skin.

TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Serum is a pretty decent product. I have naturally oily hair and am reluctant at trying hair serums as they tend to make my hair very greasy, but this product does not contribute to that problem at all.
I use a lot of heat on my hair, it's fairly long and the ends tend to get fried after almost daily blow-drying & straightening. I used this product daily for a little over two weeks and noticed quite a difference in the texture of my hair. The ends became much healthier looking and my hair overall had a wonderful shine.
I also happen to like the smell of this stuff ;)
Overall, I would probably purchase this product again, and perhaps use it for a longer length of time and see the full benefits of it.

I am, hands down, a St. Ives lover. There is not a product yet that I haven't loved!
The Energizing Citrus Hydrating Body Wash is no exception! The fragrance is so refreshing, and gives me a happy boost of energy with my 5am shower. The lather is good, a little of the product on a bath pouf goes a long way. The body wash lasts quite a while as not much is needed.
I have fairly sensitive skin to body washes, but have had no problems with this one, and it leaves my skin feeling smooth and squeaky clean, no residue left behind!
The price point is a bonus, and is easily found in most grocery/department stores and local pharmacies.
I would absolutely recommend this product, and will be purchasing again in the future!

Hands down, the BEST lip balm out there that I have tried yet! This has been my go-to for a number of years and even my children love it now. Just as this past winter was approaching, my kids were suggesting we stock up to stay ahead of the dry-lips season!
The product goes on so smooth and makes your lips feel like satin! This is a wonderful preventative lip-balm, but it also helps lips that have succumb to dryness. I find within a day of use my lips are near back to normal. Just wonderful stuff!
I do find it a little bit pricey, so I do tend to shop around and wait for sales. Other than that, highly recommended product!

I don't like many skin creams as most cause more irritation or leave behind a greasy residue. Nivea is different in every way.
I work in a VERY dry environment, handling hundreds of pieces of paper a day. Paper is extremely dehydrating to the hands, and mine suffer greatly for it. Thankfully Nivea Cream helps me through my days!
I tend to get dry spots between my fingers, on my fingertips and under my engagement ring. It can become quite bothersome and painful. I started using Nivea cream to help moisturize and it has done wonders. While it's not a miracle lotion, it has helped hydrate my hands a lot. The price is quite reasonable and it can be found in your local pharmacy or grocery store.
Thanks for a great product, Nivea!! :)

For a person that has a very uneven skin tone, and large pores, this primer is fantastic!
My face has red areas, some darker than others, and the the pores on my under-eye area as well as cheeks are rather large and noticeable. With this primer, it does quite a good job of evening out my skin tone and creating a smooth base to apply foundation. I have fairly sensitive skin and I find this primer doesn't irritate it.
The wear is long lasting, I put my make-up on at 6am and by 5pm, it's still pretty well in place, which doesn't happen without primer! The price point is fantastic as well. Very good quality in an affordable bracket - that doesn't happen often anymore!
I am very pleased, e.l.f. Cosmetics outdid themselves with this one!
