I love Netflix!
It's opened me up to so many TV shows and movies that I've never seen before!
It's much cheaper than cable and although a lot of the content is older, it has such a variety of shows and movies that there's definitely something there for everyone that they haven't seen before.
It's also great to be able to start watching a series knowing that all the episodes are there just waiting to be watched, no need to download the next one or wait for the next episode to air on cable!
It’s also a lot of fun choosing a movie on Netflix with your partner. It’s like being at a video store without having to leave your own couch! :)

Special K Red Berries is pretty good. It's a nice light, healthy cereal and makes a great snack.
I was disappointed with the berries in it. I found them to be very sponge-like and bitter.
I still liked the cereal though. I just add fresh bananas to it and it makes up for it :)

I’m rating this high even though personally I would never use it again.
When I began using this mineral foundation, I was blown away by how well it covered any and all imperfections.
It created a flawless complexion without looking cakey.
I loved that the applicator was attached! This meant I didn’t need to pick up an additional brush, plus it made the bottle very easy to travel with.
I recommended this immediately to many of my friends.
Unfortunately within weeks, my skin began to break out.
At first I didn’t connect it to the makeup but then it just kept getting worse.
My skin never cleared up until I stopped using this product. Unfortunately, I have combination acne-prone skin and I wasn’t a good candidate for this product. Even though it looked great on, it wasn’t worth the blemishes.
I recommend this to anyone who has clear skin as I’m sure they’d love it. But not for us oily/combination skinned ladies!

I picked this up for my bathroom originally primarily because it was purple and looked attractive.
I liked the tear drop container and how it wasn't covered in labels.
I was happy to discover that the lavender scent was very authentic and not too strong.
It lathers and rinses well and I find the scent to be very calming. I love that it leaves my hands smelling like lavender.
It looks great AND smells great!

I really liked L'Oreal Gentle Eye Makeup Remover.
It worked really well to remove my black mascara and eyeliner.
It did sting a little when I got it in my eye, but that's to be expected.
It left my eyelids and my lashes clean and without any irritation or soreness.
There was no need to rub with this makeup remover, it wipes off very easily.

I love Sephora! This store is an absolute dream for a makeup addict like myself!
They carry so many brands under one roof and the staff are always so helpful and informed on all their products.
Their online shopping site is much like chick advisor in that they encourage customers to review their products allowing you to make a more informed choice when shopping.
Great variety, great staff, great products :)

I had an FPC for John Freida Precision Foam Colour. I dye my hair at the salon and didn't want to stray from that but didn't want to waste the coupon either so I decided to have a friend volunteer to let me dye her hair.
She selected the shade 'Dark Natural Brown' which wasn't too far off from her light brown hair.
I had never used a foam hair colour nor had she so it took a moment to get used to the product. As it states on the box, it is very much a foam!
It went in her hair really easily and with little to no mess.
I used to dye my hair years ago and was amazed at how easy to use the product was let alone the fact that it left little to no mess.
Her hair came out fabulous, although a tad bit lighter than we thought it would.
But the colour looked great and her hair felt very silky and rejuvenated.
As I said, we got this product for free but it's about $14.99 at a store. We only needed one box for her thick, shoulder length hair.

Watership Down is an absolute must-read!
It's one of my favorite novels of all time and is now available in a 40th Anniversary edition.
It is an allegorical tale of a warren of rabbits who have to flee their home because their country domain is being destroyed by modern man and modern man's technology.
It is the story of each individual rabbit in the warren as they try to find a new home in this often cruel world.
This novel is beautifully written and is a very moving read.
You will cheer for these rabbits, your heart will break for them, and you will relate to each and every one of them.
Prepare for page turning excitement, extraordinary character development and remarkable emotional depth.
You will love this novel.

But if you're going to, I recommend hummus or cheese :)
They are a delicious, flavorful snack! And one of the few crackers that I love :)

I had never tried an electric razor before the Philips Ladyshave HP6370 so I was very excited to try it out. The razor comes out of the box with a low charge and has to be charged for 10 hours before you begin shaving.
I read the detailed instructions thoroughly so that I would be prepared to use it as soon as the charge was complete.
I’m glad I did because reading the instructions led me to learning that not only could I use this electric razor on dry skin, I could also use it on wet skin with shaving cream!
I opted to test the razor out on dry skin first and began with my legs.
I found this razor to be extremely easy to use which I was grateful for as a first time user.
You have to make sure your skin is pulled tight and that you shave against the grain.
When you do this, it gives you an extremely close shave, much closer than I would have ever expected.
My favourite part of this razor is that it was equipped with an Opti-light.
This light is such an amazing feature. It allows you to get the closest shave possible. It also allowed me to find hair behind my knees that I had absolutely no idea that I had been missing.
I was both shocked and grateful for this revelation, so thank you Phillips for designing the Opti-light for your razor!
I will never again be left in the dark about the hair behind my knees!
After I completed shaving my legs, I decided to move onto the bikini line.
I found shaving with this electric razor to be very time consuming but also a little addictive.
It was a little bit more difficult shaving the bikini line than it was my legs, but once I got into the swing of it I was able to complete my bikini line with the same ease and precision that I was able to shave my legs.
I did wear out the battery in my first shave which can tell you how much time it took me (over 30 minutes) but I plugged it in as soon as I was done so that it would be fully charged for my next shave.
The next time I shaved was simply clear away stubble so it took less than half the time which leads me to believe that shaving maintenance is going to be very simple this summer!
Overall I was extremely impressed with the results of this electric razor.
It provided a very close, comfortable shave that didn’t irritate my sensitive skin.
The pivoting head is great for moving around the curve of your leg and the Opti-light makes sure that you find every last hair.
It also comes with a great little pouch for traveling, a comb attachment and a bikini trimming head for precision.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking to pick up an electric razor.
