This chocolate bar is unique in so many ways. First of all the shape is cylindrical as opposed to the regular rectangular shaped bars. Although it only consists of milk chocolate it is ribboned into flakes. Hence the name Cadbury Flake. I had a friend who loved these bars but they are so hard to find that whenever I was I the store that sold them I would pick her up a few. They are higher priced than a regular chocolate bar and in my opinion just not worth it. It's funny since Cadbury is my favorite low end brand chocolate. I just found the chocolate is not as smooth and creamy as most other Cadbury bars I have tried. Although this bar is not for me my friend loves it. -

When i think hot chocolate the first brand that comes to mind is nestle. Although you can just add a few scoops and add water I prefer it with hot milk instead. It makes it richer and creamier. Even though you can get it with marshmallows already added I prefer to add my own. I have to say there's nothing bette on a cold day than a cup of hot chocolate on a cold day. -
Neilson Jersey Milk Chocolate Bar
This is a simple, solid milk chocolate bar. Although it might be considered boring I find the chocolate to be smooth and creamy. It may not be my first choice when it comes to chocolate bars but every once in a while I get a craving for it.

I prefer cracker chips to regular chips so of course I had to try these. I don't enjoy the Dare ones as much as the Kelloggs ones. That being said these chips had a delicious zesty ranch flavor. They are made with real vegetables which is great. I just wish the sodium level was lower. It's 150 mg per ten crackers. These are a low source of fibre and protein however if I were to eat regular chips I would be getting no nutritional value at all. The next time I do groceries I will pick up a bag of sea salt and see which flavor I prefer. Although these are good i don't see them replacing my regular brand unless they are on sale. -

Since im now in my late thirties keeping my skin healthy and well moisturized is a big priority for me. I usually use a non rinse cleaner in the morning when my face is not overly dirty. At night my face needs a better cleanser especially if i have worn makeup that day. Avene is in my top three favorite brands of these types of cleansers. I find this to be gentle on my skin and it causes no redness or irritation.
I usually apply a moderate amount on a cotton round and wipe for a few minutes. After that I take another cotton round to wipe off any excess cleansing lotion left behind. Once my face is clean I spray it with thermal water and do one more wipe to make sure my face is perfectly clean.
When I first started using these types of non rinse cleansers I thought my face wouldn't feel clean but they surprisingly didn't leave behind any residue and it left my skin feeling soft and smooth even before moisturizing. I would recommend this product for those with sensitive normal, combination and dry skin but if you have oily skin you would probably new a different face cleaner.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Studio Under Eye Concealer and Highlighter

It's so handy to have a 2 in 1 product. This one has a concealer on one side and a highlighter on the other side. I found the concealer gave a light coverage so it wouldn't be the best option for those with dark circles. I also found it would enhance the fine lines but if you set it with a powder it does help a bit. Keep in mind ELF products are inexpensive so you get what you pay for more often than not.
The highlighter is a little shimmery. I would apply it on my brow bone and the inner corners of my eyes and it would make me look more vibrant and awake. Although this product is inexpensive I would probably want a concealer with a little more coverage for the days I dont get much sleep and have darkness under my eyes. Anyone looking go a light coverage this is an ok product at a good price.

I usually bake with semi-sweet chocolate chips but these were on sale and I was making a banana bread so I decided to give them a go. I was not disappointed. When i think dark chocolate I think bitter. That was not the case with these dark chocolate chips. They were not overly sweet or bitter.They were perfect. The chocolate was smooth and creamy. They would taste get in any baked good or topped on if cream. It's made up of 50% cocoa which is most likely the reason they didn't tasteoverly bitter. The back of the package has a double chocolate chip cookie recipe that I will definitely be trying in the near future. I'm definitely looking forward to trying other Chipits flavors since I ventured away for my usual semi sweet and milk chocolate chips I normally purchase. -

Although I'm not a big soda drinker I can definitely say sprite is a nice refreshing drink and my soda of choice on a hot summer day. I personally prefer this clear, bubbly drink compared to most of the darker sodas such as coke, Dr Pepper and pepsi. The more chilled sprite is the better it tastes. I usually serve mine over ice. -

I remember when I was young any time I had an upset stomach my dad would go to the store and get me a big bottle of Canada Dry Ginger Ale. I'm unsure if it helps with stomach upset but as a child I wasn't going to turn down an opportunity to drink soda. This is definitely a refreshing drink that tastes best chilled on ice. It's so fizzy and bubbly and has a nice crisp taste. -

My friend gave me this I a gift basket she made me and I was surprised when I asked her where she got it and she said the Dollar Store for a dollar. This is a really good cream for the price. Although it says on the front of the jar it's for dry and sensitive skin buyer beware it does contain alcohol. The top two ingredients are water and coconut oil. For those who love coconut scented creams this is great. I know it had me craving for a bounty bar.
This cream is a lighter cream and although it moisturized mynormal skin and left it feeling soft and smooth I'm unsure it would work as well for very dry skin. For the price I would definitely recommend anyone giving it a try. It absorbs quickly and doesn't leave the skin feeling tacky. I have used it on my entire body from the neck down and I'm overall pleased with the results and would definitely recommend it for the price.
