I am more of a coffee person, but keep a variety of teas around, and have some occasionally. I've tried various black teas, since I prefer those, and this one is good enough for the price. It tastes average, but it's ok to keep around for a quick pick me up (black teas have lots of theine, which is actually caffeine). Anyways, it's good for the price, and convenient to get in my grocery store, but I keep other, better quality black teas in my pantry, too. -

Since I received this product from for free from another site, I've been testing it for various pains. I've tested it on sore calves, some joint pain in my right hand, and on my husbands lower back. I'm impressed! It worked for all of these pains. Also, the product is just as it claims - odorless and not sticky at all. Also, the roll-on delivery is fantastic - no need to rub it in with your hands. It started working quickly, and the pain was completely gone. The effect doesn't last forever, but long enough. I definitely recommend this product as an alternative to pain killers and other medicated lotions/gels. -

Seanik was the first shampoo bar I've tried from Lush, and recently I came back to it. I have to say I have long, coarse hair, that gets straight or wavy depending on its mood. Seanik is supposed to give volume, hence my choice.
I wanted to show on the picture that even after wetting it a lot and rubbing on my hand, it didn't lather well. This doesn't bother me, but I know some people like lots of lather. Also, the first ingredient is SLS, if you are avoiding that - I am not. The rest of the ingredients are mostly natural.
This baby is HIGHLY concentrated. If you use too much it will strip all of the oils out of your hair and scalp. I recommend you don't run it down your hair, just a few quick strokes along your scalp, and then rub it in well with your fingers. Make sure your hair and scalp is thoroughly wet before using it.
The little pieces of algae can stay in your hair, but there aren't too many, and it's easy to remove them once your hair is dry.
As far as the performance goes, this shampoo does give me some volume, and it cleans very well. Like one wash and go well, although I always have to use conditioner afterwards (but I always use conditioner anyways - coarse hair). I can't say anything about it adding shine, since I use Moroccan Argan oil, which adds shine itself. It does dry out my hair a bit, so I alternate it with another, more gentles shampoo (one star off).
Also, the bar is very convenient and economical - it lasts about 6 months for me, which is a steal for that price. It is easy to carry around, too (to the gym, travel etc). Highly recommended.

I love the convenience of these crackers - easy to toss into purse, gym bag, anywhere really, and eat on the go. The size of one package is really enough to feed my cravings. Also, the taste is to die for!

I've got free CND Vinylux Weekly Nail Polish and Top Coat to test. I had very high expectations, and really wanted them to work, since I am yet to find nail polish that can survive on my nails longer than 5 days. That being said, this one is not the one. After only 3 days of regular housework (laundry, dishes etc), it started chipping and peeling off, although I gave it very long time to completely dry off.
Positives are that that it did dry really fast and was very shiny, and it has no nasty ingredients. Negatives, besides not being long lasting is that it came on really streaky, especially the second coat. The top coat fixed it a bit, and the color being light it was not very visible, but it still bothers me. I think this particular color (Fragrant Freesia - very light pink with white glitter) would have looked nicer with only one coat, but I wanted to follow the instructions on applying it. Maybe that is just my preference. It looks nicer in pictures than close-up.
Compared to other polishes I use, I would say this one is average. It is in line with drugstore nail polishes I tried, and even some of them apply better than this one. Compared to higher end ones, like Formula X, I don't think it comes even close.

I've tried this product as soon as it arrived to the stores. It tastes great, but it is definitely sugary, so be careful about how much you consume. I have to say when I first tasted it, it reminded me of grape, not blackberry!

This is by far my favorite spring/fall/winter moisturizer. I have extremely dry skin that cracks if not moisturized after every shower, and this is the only drug store product that ever managed to help with it. It is very oily, takes a while for it to sink in, so it's the best for evening use. But if you have very dry skin like me, you will appreciate the feeling you get from using this moisturizer. During summers I switch to something lighter though. -
