Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara

I mainly decided to give this a try due to the price and cute colours. It was a bit thick and goopy to apply (mainly in the second coat) but eventually it went on. It's day 3 and with lots of business as a mom, the tips are beginning to wear a bit, but still in decent wearable condition. Can't complain for the price and will likely buy again because I can't get enough of the cute colours! -

I bought this after doing an online review comparison of various ones. It was relatively inexpensive. My hair tends to get greasy after a day but I don't want to shampoo everyday as it then dries my scalp out. This did make it look less greasy and gave it some fluff, but being black-haired, I found it left a bit of white residue in my hair. Not a big deal, just have to shake it out. Wouldn't say the effects last all day, just a few hours rather, but yet the bottle is too big to lug in your purse. There's a strong floral scent, almost overpowering , which I'm not a fan of.All in all, ok for the price. -
34°Savoury Crisps
I bought these savoury crisps at Costco and decided to give it a try as they were on sale ($7.99 for a 4 pack), and Costco is generally pretty good at bringing on some pretty yummy snacks...except this! Ugh. I decided to try the Rosemary one first... +
I bought these savoury crisps at Costco and decided to give it a try as they were on sale ($7.99 for a 4 pack), and Costco is generally pretty good at bringing on some pretty yummy snacks...except this! Ugh. I decided to try the Rosemary one first as I figured this would be more flavourful than the original flavour. There's an initial mild rosemary flavour but the crisp is mostly bland tasting. Tastes like flour. They are thin like crepes basically...think 'crepe cracker' but flavourless. You could eat them with cheese etc. but I was hoping these would be good on their own. When it comes to topping crackers, I prefer them to be more substantial and flavourful. Not good nutritional value, but if you're counting calories, it's 50 calories for 9...but it is like eating air, lol. Disappointing... -

I love this as a lip balm. My lips tend to be on the dry side so I like the idea of a lip butter as lipsticks tend to dry my lips further. This glides on smooth, feels buttery and comes in nice subtle shades of colour, not too overpowering. It feels good to know that I look like I'm wearing some lipstick but moisturizing them at the same time :). Have bought and replenished this product twice now and will continue to do so! -
NIVEA Soft Refreshingly Soft Moisturizing Creme
I love this Nivea cream! Glides on well, absorbs well and doesn't leave a sticky or greasy film. I've used this for years as a base moisturizer for my make-up and it doesn't slough off when I'm applying my make-up, like some others have. It smells... +

I was so excited to use this with our first baby and what a letdown. We bought it because it was affordable but the quality really reflects the price. My back started aching after 10 mins of carrying my baby in it. Although the material feels nice and cushy where the baby is, it felt like there was no padding in the shoulder straps for the parent. There was also something wonky with the stitching so that the straps didn't even stay flush and it felt like my baby's weight was being carried on my shoulders by two thin pieces of rope...cut right into my back. I never used it again. -
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Nail Polish
This is a great affordable nail polish. I'm a busy mom who can't afford the high end salon stuff and I've always used Sally Hansen. It goes on nice and smooth and the 2nd coat really seals the colour in. Comes in many pretty shades :).

These are great! I used them with baby #1 to store homemade food. What's great is that I'd pop them in the freezer and when I needed to head out, grabbed a frozen cube, throw it in a bag and when it was meatime, I had thawed food in a portable container for baby. Recently for baby #2, I've been using them to freeze unused portions of baby food for later use since jarred food can't go past 3 days. Definitely recommend for making mommy life easier! :) -
Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin-E & Peppermint
Burt's bees lipbalm is by far the best lip balm I've tried. I like that it glides on so smoothly, smells great ( has a slightly minty taste/feel) and is mostly natural. Not too expensive these days either :). Does a good job of hydrating too!
