Febreze NOTICEables Dual Scented Pluggable Air Freshener in Morning Walk & Cleansing Rain

I've never used a plug in scent before this product. I was very happy with it. The scent I reviewed was Morning Walk & Cleansing Rain which was a fanastic fragrance. It was also close to my front door so I was able to be greeted by the scent each time i came home. I kept noticing and enjoying the smell as well, which was nice as I tend to get used to a scent and no longer notice it (with other fresheners). I will definitely be using this product again. A great find :) -
L'Oreal Paris Root Rescue
It was so easily to follow. Much easier than dying all of my hair when only the greys (at my hairline) need to be covered. The instructions were easy to follow. And it was super easy to apply the dye to the right spot with the quck percision... +
It was so easily to follow. Much easier than dying all of my hair when only the greys (at my hairline) need to be covered. The instructions were easy to follow. And it was super easy to apply the dye to the right spot with the quck percision applicator provided. I will definately be using this root touch up product again. And it was a good match to my dark hair so it looked natural. -

I got this product as part of a product review club. I found that this cream was the perfect consistency. It is not too greasy but still moisturized my skin. I applied this makeup just after washing my face in the morning. I did leave it on for 5 minutes or so to allow my skin to absorb it before putting on my make-up. My skin stayed nice all day. I find with some other moisturizers my skin may feel "tight" by mid-day, but not with this product. I also love that it has a SPF of 15 so my skin in protected from the sun during the day. Overall, I found this to be a good product that I would recommend. -

This body butter go on smooth and moistizes well. My body absorbed the lotion well. There is no lotion residue left over so you can get dressed without worrying about it getting on your clothes. It also has a light pleasant scent that just smells "clean". I would recommend this body butter as a good product for moistizing your skin. -

This anti-perspirant works well if you sweat light or moderately. I sweat a lot (especially during workouts). This prouct ALMOST worked for me. It faded an hour or 2 before the end of the working day and I had to re-apply. I have tried a lot of of anti-perspirants in the past this one is not bad. It glides on well and has a nice scent. I really liked the wide turning base on the container (to access the product), it is very convinent.
I will work well if are not prone to heavy sweating. If you need protection, this is not the best choice for you.

My last smart phone was a Blackberry Pearl (which I did not like), so I decided to try the Palm Pre. It's a great mix between the Iphone (touch screen) and the Blackberry keyboard. I love that I can change between the keyboard and the touch screen as needed. I also it also a great lookng phone.
Manual - The phone was given with only basic information. It is expected that you go to the Palm website for tutorials on how to use the feature or call Bell for help. I'm not usually a manual reader, but I think that this phone needs a book manual to help learn all the features. Going online to learn is not convienent.
Phone - It has a touch keypad on the screen. I find it is easy to dial incorrectly with this keypad. Using the numbers on the keyboard to dial is much easier. The speakers and mic work well, people hear me and I hear them well on the phone.
Calendar - easy to use. Still trying to figure out how to sync it with my computer (or if it is possible - a manual would come in handy here ;)
Appliations - not a lot of apps yet, but the Palm Pre is relatively new. I expect much more apps to come in the future. The ones I use are great.
Charging - The battery does die quickly. If I am not online a lot, it will last about a day. If I play video, go online, etc... I need to charge it by evening.
Overall I love my Palm Pre. I will need to go online some more to take the "tutorials" and really learn the features.

I have dry skin, so I need a good moisturizer. I received Vaseline Sheer Infusion body lotion as a member of the product review club. I really like this product. It helps moisturize without being greasy. It also has a really nice scent (I used one with vitamin E).
It does take a few minutes to absorb before I would get dressed (~ 3 minutes). My elbows tend to be really dry, so I needed to make sure I put a bit extra on my elbows to keep them moisturized all day.
Overall, a good product at a great price.

Bulldog is one of my favorite coffee places in Toronto. I love their chocolate lattes and their relaxed atmosphere. Each drink is beautiful (made with a design on the top) and absolutely delicious. They have a large variety of different drinks. However, all drinks are expresso based. This is perfect for me as I love expresso. Comparable to the lattes that I had in Rome! -

This is one of my favorite Italian restuarants. It is in little Italty in Toronto. I small, friendly place with great food and great service. I have had some great Italian meals here. There is an extensive wine list to choose from. Entrees range from $15 dollars. They have (in the past) participated in summer/winterlicious. This is a good time to try their food at a cheaper prices. Don't expect to eat and run. It is a relaxed atmosphere and the food is served at a pace to allow you to enjoy good food and conversation. -
MAC Cosmetics Pro Longwear Lipcolor

This is the first lip colour that I have used that stays on, even if I have eaten an entire meal. This lip colour's staying power is amazing.
This lip stick is applied in 2 stages. One end has the lip colour that acts more like a lip stain. The other end has a clear gloss that is applied over the lip colour (tip -> it works best when you allow the lip stain to dry before applying the gloss). Then you just re-apply the gloss as needed. The best part is the MAC will sell you the gloss portion separately when you run out of it before your lip colour (which you definately will).
With this lipcolour, no lip colour comes off on your drinking glasses and it looks great. I have never had so many compliments about a lipstick before! Definately a must-have for my beauty bag from now on.
