If you're caught in a pinch and need something to jazz up your night of entertaining. look no further than this easy crowd pleasing margarita mix by Mott's. It's best when blended with ice (and you can do so in a big batch to serve many at once. It can be easily elevated with some creative ingredients (mezcal, bitters, garnishes). I personally prefer to engage my guests with cocktail mixing and ecxploring different flavour combinations with liquors, mixes and bitters etc. but if that's not for you then this could be your winner!
Recommend for those who don't like to mix complicated drinks but want something different then just beer and wine.

PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed
I like the texture and taste of these protein bars. They're not overly chewy and not as sweet as other competitors. It's great that they use real Whey Protein Isolate, instead of soy protein. The only main issue that I find not so great about... +
I like the texture and taste of these protein bars. They're not overly chewy and not as sweet as other competitors. It's great that they use real Whey Protein Isolate, instead of soy protein.
The only main issue that I find not so great about them is that they use alcohol sugars. As alcohol sugars aren't exactly sugar, it is easy to think the bars are low in sugar and therefore healthy; however, alcohol sugars are still processed into the body an blood like real sugar and effect glucose levels (ie. if you are diabetic please watch out) I think this product is generally healthy and wouldn't do harm to most people but it is a good thing to keep in mind.

Actually one of the best protein bars I've had (and I eat them nearly every day!)
Typically, protein bars are hard, chewy, dense and most times over sweetened but powerbar gives a beautiful balance of biting into something a bit more decadent, it's light yet satisfying, not hard and chewy. Its easy to eat, and not too sweet.
I also want to note that they use real Whey isolate not the stuff made from soy protein.
Overall a good choice for a snack or meal replacement! would recommend!

Love this liquid lipstick! They truly last all day and are perfectly Matt and don't leave a sticky residue. The trick to ensure that the lipstick stays on your lips and does not smudge or end up on your coffee cup etc. Is to ensure you don't apply any other products to your lips first. A clean canvas is the perfect base for the product to stick to your lips.
I use this every day and I typically don't reapply (if I do its usually just a touch up after a meal). The value is exceptional because a little but of product goes a long way in terms of pigmentation as well.
I hope nyx will cone out with a more wider variety of colours as now it's more mauve browns and pink tones.

My go-to exfoliating scrub!
Gentle enough for every day (perhaps a couple times a week for sensitive skin). As someone with combination skin, I find using this product reduces my dry skin as well as help control my oily t-zone over the summer months.
You absolutely can't beat the price, and the product is made with natural ingredients so you don't have top feel bad about any pollutants contaminating our waterways.

ALL THEIR TEAS ARE GREAT!
If you check their website they are very serious about their teas and even when and how they harvest the leaves to ensure the power and potency of each herb/leaf. I have tried the detox teas and they are very cleansing, not disruptive at all to my GI system at all. One tea bags goes a long way. I usually brew about 2 liters from 1 bag.
These aren't dressed up teas, they are medicinal so keep in mind there are any glamorous ingredients to make your cup tastes amazing (maybe go for David's tea for that).
Compared to a lot of the other teas (especially from the health food store) Traditional Medicinals is very reasonably priced and much lower than most of the other organic teas.

I have used this Mascara for years now. I have Asian eyes/lashes which means a curl is hard to hold and any eye product often gets smudged throughout the day while I smile and laugh.
I find the waxiness of the waterproof mascara both effective for holding the last curl and hold up to any smudges or smears. It's relatively easy to remove with makeup remover. I usually pick it up for around $5 or so at Wal-Mart. I've tried many other mascaras that are either too wet or clumpy or smudge easily. This is a well-rounded product that is great for an everyday look and performance.

Love a nice waxy lip balm for the winter. Burt's bee's is always in my pocket where ever I go. I walk outside a lot during the winter months and this lip balm acts like a strong shield for my natural lips and prevent them from chapping, cracking and drying out. The texture is waxy but smooth and moisturizing. I like to also wear it under my lipstick, it doesn't effect the wearability of the lip colour. -
Tuna helper
Easy, healthy protein rich dinner made in just minutes. I prefer to use the Albacore Tuna as it is less fishy then shipjack. A touch of fresh Parmesan cheese, pepper and garlic powder make the dish a bit more interesting.
